The answer from your DPA mentions article 6, which states:

"Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:
[...]
(e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller"

While this might apply to everyone, only governmental organizations will be able to convincingly base the lawfulness of their processing on that. (Guessing - IANAL)

College does not need to be more like a trade school, that's what trade schools are for. If we need to churn out a gaggle of programmers the boot camp model has worked for years, Accenture used to push hundreds of college grads through their program in the 90's and out popped VB programmers. Now dozens of places provide the same service at a cost and in 12 short weeks you can become a "full stack" programmer. None of these people have a clue what is going on under the curtains but most run of the mill programmers don't need to know what is going on under the curtains. If you are interested in how things work and why they work that way going to a university and studying CS might will that need, but it involves a lot of math and other classes that you will likely never use in a workplace.

This is just a simple misunderstanding of what college is for, expanding one's knowledge for the sake of expanding one's knowledge -being a good programmer is not the intent but it might be a by product.
> Phrasing the whole discussion in terms of 'metrics' to justify the common-sense conclusion that junior people need more direct supervision is clearly sugarcoating it for junior recipients for whom the message is intended.

This line of reasoning will never not make my blood boil. "Well of course it's not data driven but we have to pretend it is for the juniors while the seniors know the truth", what absolute hogwash. Say what you mean or I'll assume what you believe what you say. Yout don't get to have it both ways. They said it's based on data so you don't get to pretend it was intuition (on top of which the people exercising the "intuition" have a vested interest in WFO).
It is common in science to do experiments and learn lab skills to be able to do those experiments. Surely programming languages are just a way of doing practical work.

> Allowing multiple customers to send mail from the same IP seemed too risky.

There are two sides of this problem. Sending very little traffic from an IP can also have negative effects as it will often be seen as "new". Using a shared range to send out mails of all customers could keep all IP addresses warm. The benefit is also that if there is one bad apple, it is statistically very low.

The hourglass is not always as clear as pictures would have you believe. Once you get to know the body shape, true widows pretty distinctive among spiders around here. (The false widow to me isn't a real lookalike because of the leg shape, but there are other bulbous dark spiders.)

The distinction I see most commonly here is the leg banding. True black widows almost always have solid, glossy black legs, without any coloration along them along them. Brown widows do seem to have a lot of difference in coloration along the abdomen, but sometimes look rather plain with abdomens more like some other species, which is why I'd look to the leg colors and body shape as well.

I'd welcome advice from an actual arachnologist on this, though!

It's also the outcome of a system where, in many/most cases, the expectation is that a new hire will have moved on by 2-3 years. And, yes, that's driven to some degree by compensation but ICs historically also didn't expect anything like FAANG compensation and even most executives had very middling compensation by Big Tech standards. (My starting salary as a product manager at a major computer company in the mid-80s with two grad degrees was about $100K in today's dollars.)

> SVG is firewalled off from js and css regardless of how you use it. The only way to practically interact with SVG content (i.e. make it actually more useful than a jpg) you need to embed it directly

You're contradicting yourself here.

> ... which requires stripping the `<?xml` and `<!DOCTYPE`, which requires an xml parser/serializer

That doesn't make sense either. Removing the XML declaration and the doctype declaration can be done using the same editor you're using for your HTML at hand - unless you're referencing the SVG as external resource via href, and then you don't need to remove it all. XML and doctype declaration aren't needed for XML conformance anyway, and your tool should offer an option to export without these.

Note according to the WHATWG HTML spec (redacted snapshots of which used to be known as W3C HTML 5.x until recently) when used embedded in HTML, SVG content is actually parsed using HTML/generic SGML rather than XML rules. For example, unlike in XML, element/tag and attribute names can be written in any mix of lowercase/uppercase chars, etc.

Agreed. Many years of effort went into building TSAN because nobody can get shared-memory concurrency right, and whenever someone thinks they can get shared-memory concurrency right, TSAN comes along and proves them wrong. Concurrency needs the same rule of thumb as cryptography: do not try to roll your own.

I love SVG, but there are a lot of improvements that I can think of: conic gradients, better (and faster) filters, a less awkwards non-scaling stroke definition, better color spaces for gradients, lightweight symbols that are not copies in shadow DOM, meshes, etc.

World Happiness Report 2023
In case you missed it, this paper as I understand it is not about proposing a new "one true bnf" to become the new standard, it's about making meta-specifications for easily writing down a formal spec of how the language grammar is written, which can then be used by tools to translate and compare between the different standards.

From the abstract: "instead of adding another syntactic notation and arguing about its excellence, we propose to retain the diversity and to cope with it by formally defining syntactic notations and using such definitions to import existing grammars to grammar engineering frameworks and to export (pretty-print) existing grammars to any desired syntactic notation."

I believe this framing is a bit over-simplified.This description presumes that the Human does indeed have the entire solution in their head, and the only problem is expressing it in a language.

In reality, Human only understand a fraction of the necessary solution (maybe even a fraction of the full problem!) when they begin to program the solution. A big part of the iteration is discovering things the Human did not know about the problem or the necessary solution. Eventually we converge on A solution, which may not look very much like the originally envisioned solution at all.

So no, I do not think the LLM is functioning as a transpiler for english. I think its a tool providing feedback in a necessary iterative cycle or discovery and development. The iteration itself is the "transpiler for english", in a crude way.

If the "one great idea" you refer to is a social network, Friendster and Myspace beat Zuckerberg to it by years.
I think exactly the opposite. 95% of people studying CompSci are going to work as developers, system administrators or IT managers.

They should know systems programming, databases, operating systems, web app development, security, basic logic, data structures, algorithms, JavaScript, and some backend languages. Add some ability to interview users, design at least basic UI, organize tasks, release your product and monitor it.

Math, physics, statistics, calculus, proofs, theorems, and computability should be the interest when you decide to pursue PhD. For someone who's going to build ERP systems in Java, Oracle ad Angular these things are completely useless. Most of the developers are like this.

On the opposite end, my degree was in computer engineering... We studied everything from circuits (analog & digital) to networks; even going into CPU design (we had to add an instruction to a MIPS CPU). It didn't make me an expert on any of these fields, but I know enough to know where to start digging if I need to specialize.

This seems like a harmful way of thinking about people and development.

There's only a limited amount of time in life to gain experience. A 15yr old's brain is quite literally not fully developed yet, expecting someone to have chosen and begun studying in their specialty then is ridiculous. Such an early start also not generally possible without the privilege of good mentorship. There's also reason universities historically wanted well rounded individuals and require general education classes--you'll end up stunted or miss opportunity for cross pollination otherwise.

If you like jumping spiders you should read this great Scifi book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Time_(novel)

Portia spiders are used to pre-populate a terraformed planet (among a few other species like ants) before humans arrive but [minor spoiler] they eventually take over the entire planet and develop an advanced society. Which causes an interesting conflict when a lost group of humans do arrive much later than planned via spaceship.

The sequel book takes the same concept but uses an octopus takeover of a water planet.
> To the extent that all people are considered philosophers, the claim that person X is a philosopher is meaningless

If ideas had no consequences, this might be true; but since ideas do have consequences, this is probably not true.

A theologian might disagree with you about this. How would you go about demonstrating that this opinion is incorrect?

> As for science distancing itself from its earlier foundations, there is nothing ironic about it. In fact that act is essential to how science as a field operates.

Scientific progress suggests that we produce more theoretically plausible interpretations of phenomena. As we do that, we often undercut or discard the axioms that produce these new theories: that is what is ironic.

Much of how humans handle their own suffering is determined by their world view. Knowledge workers tend to have a view that we should never be uncomfortable in our jobs. Ever.

A lot of blue collar work is "comfortable being uncomfortable".
> Did you try converting svgcleaner processed SVG to a TVG?

I would but I can't build the SDK (gets some zig error about failing to add a package) and the darwin-arm downloads don't include `svg2tvg`.

If I use the darwin-x86 download, `svg2tvgt` can't convert the file - `UnitRangeException: NaN is out of range when encoded with scale 1`.

I guess it doesn't really parse all SVGs.

UEFI > Secure Booting, Boot Stages:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI#Boot_stages

The EFI system partition is conventionally /boot/efi on a Linux system; and there's a signed "shim loader" that GRUB launches, which JMP- launches the kernel+initrd after loading the initrd into RAM (a "RAM drive") and mounting it as the initial root filesystem /, which is pivot_root'd away from after the copy of /sbin/init (systemd) mounts the actual root fs and launches all the services according to the Systemd unit files in order according to a topological sort given their dependency edges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition

Runlevels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel

runlevel 5 is runlevel 3 (multi-user with networking) + GUI. On a gnome system, GDM is the GUI process that is launched. GDM launches the user's Gnome session upon successful login.
`systemctl restart gdm` restarts the GDM Gnome Display Manager "greeter" login screen, which runs basically runs ~startx after `bash --login`. Systemd maps the numbered runlevels to groups of unit files to launch:

telinit 6 # reboot
telinit 3 # kill -15 GDM and all logged in *GUI* sessions

You can pass a runlevel number as a kernel parameter by editing the GRUB menu item by pressing 'e' if there's not a GRUB password set; just the number '3' will cause the machine to skip starting the login greeter (which may be what's necessary to troubleshoot GPU issues). The word 'rescue' as a kernel parameter launches single-user mode, and may be what is necessary to rescue a system failing to boot. You may be able to `telinit 5` from the rescue runlevel, or it may be best to reboot.
Xfce + a GTK theme that mimics CDE is probably a good option: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Solaris-9 I couldn't get this theme to work on a modern gnome/GTK4 environment, sadly, but suspect it would still work with something GTK3 like xfce.

You may have heard this one before, but staging is just saying, on your local filesystem, of all the files I've changed in this repo since last commit, these are the files I want to add into my next commit. You mark them for this with `git add <filename`.

(Slightly more detail: it doesn't need to be file-level; you can stage only certain changes within files if you like, using `git add -p <filename>`.)
