Anecdotally I think some gpa inflation is related to modern course design.

What was the design and pedagogy (workload too) for a biology course at harvard in the 1920s versus today? Without this info the graph tells us less than it might.

What classes were being offered in 1920s harvard?

At my university we dont offer classes that were at one time considered essential

But many articles and news reports such as this one [0] also told us that it will collapse any minute now™ since the start of November. If not in a matter of weeks! [0]. /s

Perhaps it is time for the doomsters to admit that they purposefully were spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt and complete nonsense to predict an imminent collapse that didn't happen after the firings.

Twitter is still running just fine with less than 1,000 engineers and no total 'collapse' happened in weeks since those news reports.

The point of building a colony in Mars is, to my mind, first and foremost in that it would not be under direct control of any Earth 's government. At least, eventually.

I think this will drive the proper colonization of Mars.

Science, of course, but it won't require a large self-sustained colony, much like Antarctica, or oil / gas fields of Siberia, or oil rigs in the ocean.
I'm familiar with rust but not with Julia. One pitfall I can see with calling this method chaining style functional is that you might not be aware of when a mutation occurred. For example, I've made the mistake before of calling .sort() in js on an array chain and it mutates in place, which you don't really expect given the other methods. At least rust makes this explicit.
I am preferring to use Uint8Array, Uint32Array or just let emscripten do the allocations for me. I haven't dabbled much with web workers, so I have avoided the whole transferrables thing.
Right, it's certainly multifaceted. Political, ideological, and ethical values all impact how people desire their community to be. Economics also has some impact.

I'm not saying it's capitalists or landowners who are to blame for how US cities have been developed, simply that the power they hold and their influence on politics pose great challenges (amongst many other challenges) for creating more dynamic cities.
I'm completely up front about having a family or my age, because if that's a problem, I'd prefer to know it before starting there. If it is a problem for them, I would probably let them know what they've asked is illegal. I would probably also let any recruiter who brought me in know as well.

I've yet to see a single [1] web app that didn't have the shortcomings I partly listed. I've seen this crap in banking apps, ride sharing apps, hotel apps, calendar apps, travel apps, ride and car sharing apps... The list is endless.

If the passwords are generated using timestamps then to recover a password from the master pass key you would need to remember the date you generated it on, which is impractical. Also not sure what the stuff about passwords expiring after 3 months is about. Otherwise this is a great idea. The software ideally would still encrypt the usernames + websites with the masterkey, but being able to recover passwords (assuming you remember the username and master key) without any access to your computer is pretty cool.
Yes. Well spotted. Thanks.

A human colony on Mars should be a point well along the way to a goal of having a complete self sustaining Martian supply chain.

We should approach this in stages, starting with the basics. A government funded, fully documented, publicly disclosed second supply chain for everything. Starting with dirt in the ground to finished materials. Materials, crops, electronics, the whole network of supplies and suppliers. Every single bit if this network should be documented and stored in the archives of that network.

We could then start a 3rd network with the goal of miniaturizing it, reducing complexity, and especially the physical volume of the entire system. Ideally, in the distant future, it could be reduced to a Von Neuman probe.

I think if we do that homework here a few times, we can then see if it could be implemented in other places on earth, in Antarctica, Above the "death line" in the Himalayas, etc.

It's my strong belief that having a true backup to human life on Mars requires this homework first. Then again on the Moon, then finally on Mars and other destinations.
Lunar dust caused Apollo astronauts problems that they thought weren't chemical. They were wrong. [https://www.livescience.com/62590-moon-dust-bad-lungs-brain....]

But that Martian dust that gets all over the solar panels is also loaded with toxic perchlorates. Every time they wear a suit out, they have to absolutely insure that none of it gets into the living space. Good luck.

"Anybody who is saying they want to go live on the surface of Mars better think about the interaction of perchlorate with the human body. At one-half percent, that's a huge amount. Very small amounts are considered toxic ...."

This is correct. Hopefully whatever improvement children get in their imagination by listening to these stories will offset whatever minor regression in language skills a child may experience due to this semantical humor, which indeed is intended to follow the form of a typical child's mistake.
As echoed before in the discussion, I suspect for most jobs the GPA one receives is not relevant not even disclosed in job applications. It might matter for folks going for graduate degrees / law / med though. A 180 on the LSAT or 528 on the MCAT speaks quite a bit, too.

My high school experience was different in that it wasn’t very challenging; I was shocked in university when I couldn’t just get my homework done in class anymore. I worked a full time job instead. But the bullying was real, all my challenges in high school were social (again, those went away in university…so I felt like it was actually easier even though I had to actually study then).

Online schooling might have been a way out of the social side of public school, though just going to college a couple of years earlier would have been ideal.
I’m sorry you found my earlier response vacuous. The point I was trying to make is that K8s is the best shot we have, and I wanted to underline the possible bias I may have. I’m sure someone must have found what I said worth their time, just as someone won’t.
I've come to believe that a deep childhood wound (parental divorce, neglect, abuse, or being adopted, etc.) predisposes one to become a narcissist when combined with the message that you are special, different from others, etc.

Steve Jobs, for example. He wasn't as malevolent as Donald Trump, but both have both factors: the childhood trauma + the message that they were special. I have several acquaintances who are narcissists and have both factors as well.

I think that the trauma without the message that you are special and different predisposes someone to become a hyper-achiever, where ambition is a channel for the pain. See: Elon Musk, Tim Ferris, etc.

Most responsible parents strive to make the lives of their children better rather than worse. Not always successfully of course, but it's the goal, and going to Mars is predictably worse.

> Would the offer of a trip back to earth for any child born on mars go any way to overcoming your concerns?

It might allay the moral dilemma, but it would increase the concerns about the long-term viability of the colony.
What he says is literal communist ideology. This is clear the second he starts defining his theory of what people "need" to survive and implying the state should provide them no more and no less than that. This is compounded by his idea that families working hard to accumulate wealth over generations is "parasitism". In other public appearances, he also said things like the middle class is "ostentatious" for having a better life than what's strictly necessary to survive.

> This distinction can be observed in Marx's communism, where the distribution of products is based on the principle of "to each according to his needs"

Wouldn't it be more practical to do the "spreading to other worlds" thing at the same time as "fixing human nature"?

We don't know if human nature can be "fixed" (in a positive way), so stopping other things until that's been done sounds a bit silly to me.

I think the new images look jarring next to the original 8-bit Konami style font at the bottom, the look clashes in my mind. I would have pixelated the generated images and dithered them down to a smaller palette to look more retro. Or kept the hi-res images but subtituted the fonts to something more detailed and modern.

But that's just me.
Near-Earth asteroid mining? Is there anything close and worth mining? AFAIK most asteroids, including those containing valuable heavy metals like platinum, are in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter orbits. Which is significantly farther than Mars.

I more easily believe in mining rocks on Moon as cool souvenirs. (And as a first step in developing the technology.)

Sure. But few go whining back to the original coder when the code is abandoned.

It’s when the code is maintained, bugs are fixed, releases are put together, etc. that people start acting entitled.

A better analogy would be someone who opens a sofa depo, starts giving away “as-is” sofas, then starts building new sofas and improving them. Some people take those sofas and use them in rental homes. Then it turns out that someone planted listening devices in some of the sofas, so the landlords start showing up at the depo and asking questions about supply chain security…
Just thought of this a bit.

Take something fundamental, food? Now you need water, fertilizers and light. Okay, so either you have greenhouses or vertical farming. Either case you need some fertilizers, production of these could probably be done, just need to find inputs. Water is simple enough if you don't loose too much of it.

Light is big question. Go with leds or grow lamps, how do you make those and power for them? And by make I mean all components needed. And all components used to make stuff that makes them and so on. Not to forget generating the electricity.
> you need to examine the data points one by one.

What does this phrase mean?

And yes, FP promotes "neat functions". Which isolate behavior and consequently means they can be individually evaluated and evaluated in combination with each other to find the error. It's not a hard problem. And much easier than the 1k SLOC (or worse, several 10k SLOC) C functions I've had to debug in my career.

I have repeatedly reduced that kind of garbage down to 10-20% of the original code by applying a functional style and decomposing the horrendously complicated logic into something sensible and, wait for it, debuggable. Why was it debuggable? Because unlike the original it was comprehensible.

> you might not be aware of when a mutation occurred

Yeah, this is a risk with any language that mixes some functional features/style in with non-functional features. Rust does a pretty good job of letting you mostly delineate the two, though there are still escape-hatches

I've actually been toying with a language design that has both, but draws a hard distinction between them. We'll see how it works out :)

But most of the time, if you're not using a totally pure functional language, functional programming is more a practice/style/ethos/feature-set than a hard constraint

Well the good news is you don't need to learn this in your spare time, because it's your job, so you can learn it on the clock?

Take a look at Inside the Machine [1] to get an in-depth, but accessible, understanding of how a somewhat dated Intel processor works, then read the optimization manual for the processor you use, and you'll have a much better foundation for your work.

Figure out how to use Intel vTune or similar, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what your system is doing. Read posts about Netflix's CDN machines, which are very high performance networking machines; you'll absorb a lot of information and terminology, hopefully.

Sorry, that doesn't help you meet people, I'm a curmudgeon and don't have advice there. Cultivate your network of people you'ld like to bounce ideas off of? But keep in mind, lots of people want to leave work at work.

Also, ChatGPT (sorry, but I was curious) says:

One example is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who played Shang Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie and its 1997 sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Tagawa has had a long and varied career in film, television, and stage, appearing in a number of popular movies and TV shows such as The Phantom, Pearl Harbor, and Hawaii Five-O.

Another actor who appeared in the Mortal Kombat movies and has had a successful career is Robin Shou, who played Liu Kang in both films. Shou has appeared in a number of action movies and TV shows over the years, including Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, DOA: Dead or Alive, and NCIS: Los Angeles.

Other actors who appeared in the Mortal Kombat movies and have gone on to have successful careers include Bridgette Wilson (Sonya Blade), Talisa Soto (Kitana), and Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage).
Nope, not at all. Your hardware wallet is useless without the bitcoin trust frameworks and the implicit agreement among many people that these particular bits on your hardware denote anything of value. Both of these are completely beyond your control and reliant on mechanisms not fully understood. It’s a system boundary question: yes, your wallet is under your control (how do you know what’s baked into the silicone or firmware, I do not know), but the whole system is not.

There is a huge amount of vested interest in persuading people bitcoin or ethereum require no trust in third parties. This is not true, as illustrated by this case: the person writing code that’s supposed to secure your money made incorrect assumptions about security and was thus robbed. If you own bitcoin, you necessarily need to trust this person and his colleagues are neither malicious nor stupid. Why that’s better than making the same assumptions about state institutions and banks is, to me, not clear.
At least with AP classes you get a GPA bump that affects the raw numerical calculation. That way, you can come out ahead if you get A- or better in the AP class. I recall that for some schools/purposes, they just looked at your GPA without weighting, but for most purposes they gave credit for weighted grades. This also applied to class rank, but for me all of this was a couple decades ago.

Pascal was and is continually evolving. A strong argument can be made that Object Pascal was the "successor" of Pascal, and that happened in 1985/86. After Apple and Wirth developed Object Pascal, Borland added the OOP extensions to their version soon afterwards. Turbo Pascal had quite a long run, and some are still using it. The Delphi dialect of Object Pascal came out in the early 1990s and Free Pascal came out in the late 1990s.

Many of the so-called issues with Pascal were resolved way back in the mid to late 1980s. In regards to Pascal's competition with C, this arguably evolves around AT&T and Unix. It's AT&T and their huge government, industry, and business influence that pushed C over the top.

Hm, I wouldn't be so categorical. I remember sitting at the class council in a somewhat selective post-highschool school in France, and the teachers knew very well that in highschool A, a student with 16/20 average grades in math from professor X was likely to be as good as a student with 12/20 in highschool B with professor Y, and used this info for admission. They didn't know this for every highschool/prof, but still for many of the good ones in southern France (I remember discussions ranging from Perpignan to Nîmes)
