How is it absurd to punish players who have a conflict of interest?

It’s pretty normal, and just, to have special rules when there is a conflict of interest.
Yes. Quite literally the only difference is not enabling foreign key constraints.

If anyone is confused as to how it might happen, family members who used to care for the dog might have been forced to give up the dog, so if not in care of the worker it's only option is to be sold or given up got adoption. A big thing since in my opinion animals are family members no less.
Sure, but when there’s zero repercussions to a frivolous lawsuit, there’s likely to be a frivolous lawsuit. If a parent can easily lie and try and extort money, it can still be an awful, expensive, exhausting process for my wife. Even if it doesn’t cost us any money directly (which to be completely honest I don’t buy), there’s still the exhausting and awful process of having to defend herself in court.

Edit:

I would also like to point out that even if you were right on the technicalities, you understand why this would be an immensely unappealing thing for a prospective teacher. It would be much easier to simply move to a state that doesn’t have a vague, poorly defined, conspiratorial law that is likely to make our lives unpleasant.
Kids are bullied and excluded for not having "blue bubbles" and men are told "swipe left if you have green bubbles" on tinder.
It attracts truly extraordinary talent. One of many examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eviSykqSUUw . There is more technical ambition in a single slide of that project than an entire department at places I've worked.

However, it also tends to demand more and pay less, so there is churn and burnout and when it comes time to triage, the triage can cut very deep.

If I were to dive into the JIRA for any one of these "missing compression" incidents, I wouldn't expect to find an easy win, I would expect to find "missing compression" beneath a pile of much worse bugs like "level 2 crashes on AMD cards." So it goes.
I think there's a simpler, but slower path that is much more successful. It seems that all the best web devs I've known took this path.

First get a CS degree and then do whatever dev work you're most passionate about to start your career. It may or may not be web dev. It's probably not, but for sure at this phase you've learned or are pretty far into learning linux and a handful of general languages like c++, java, python, etc.

After a while you end up trying out web dev because you have projects on your plate that demand it, but it's not just frontend. You will learn to at least spaghetti your way through html/css/js, lots of web server configuration, implementation details about web browsers, and pick up nodejs or even ruby.

Then you dive into frontend where hopefully there's a designer or design team sending you figma files at least. It's at this point where you have probably already learned or are very familiar with frontend libraries like vue or react anyway but now you get to master those and maybe not just use them for complicated web apps.

The final step is learning design, which is comparatively less strict and kind of fun.

It's at this point where you can take a project all by yourself without much fuss or any surprises which is exactly what your boss and coworkers wanted all along. I'd more gladly work with a dev who knows design, than a designer who codes. The code is simply not as forgiving. Implementation details must always be first. This isn't really up to opinion. Web is hard to do correctly and the bar for the quality of work is only getting higher.

Exactly, if one is not developing PHP for the enterprise (maybe some non-enterprise simple projects still use opcodes though? lol), it's silly not to leverage index.php for all it's worth :-)

So where is the hyper-simple JS equivalent for that class of non-enterprise projects, is what I wonder...the enterprise stuff has always been heavy and loads projects down with maintenance debt.

That makes sense. For workloads where write performance isn't very important but read performance is, this sounds like it may still be a worthwhile tradeoff to have that extra level of data integrity.

My sense is that many typical CRUD apps aren't writing gargantuan volumes of data or making very complex edits, and if they do, it's ok if it takes a second longer. Usually read speed is more of a bottleneck for user-facing applications, but I'm sure there are probably some examples where this tradeoff is worth it.

There was more than one mass-market magazine article. There were no mass-market magazine cover stories, and yes there are fakes going around of those. There were also newspaper articles on it regularly throughout the 1970's. As well as numerous works of science fiction, and TV episodes like "in Search of...The Coming Ice Age" from 1978 narrated by Leonard Nimoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kGB5MMIAVA.

The science it was based on, of course, was the fact that ice ages are cyclical and we are well towards what would typically be the end of an interglacial period:

"the last four interglacials lasted over ~20,000 years with the warmest portion being a relatively stable period of 10,000 to 15,000 years duration. This is consistent with what is seen in the Vostok ice core from Antarctica and several records of sea level high stands. These data suggest that an equally long duration should be inferred for the current interglacial period as well. Work in progress on Devils Hole data for the period 60,000 to 5,000 years ago indicates that current interglacial temperature conditions may have already persisted for 17,000 years."

-- https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-long-can-we-expect-present-int...

You also had the fact that some of the coldest (and snowiest) winters on record in the US were during the 1970's, most notably during 1977 when it snowed in Miami and the Bahamas for the only time in recorded history, and temperatures in much of the midwest stayed below freezing for over a month. So of course articles about a new ice age would attract readers, even though any return to ice age conditions would happen over centuries, if it wasn't disrupted by humans.

It really was a lot of snow though, we were out of school for like two weeks in the spring of 1978.
What industry, if you don't mind me asking?

> I am sure this will break the second time you run Windows Update.

Then you are confidently wrong, because Windows Update rarely (if ever) touches the bootloader, while this is the main innovation of the WinBTRFS project.
How do you suppose that universities have pushed industry out of research? The reality is that industry has bay-and-large decided it only wants to do the development part of R&D, and leave the research to someone else. Universities have stepped in to fill that gap.

Of course this is messy, for example industry is very involved in the research in AI, but in places like medical technologies near 100% of the early development of everything from drugs to most devices is done out of Universities, and there is nothing stopping industry from trying to step in there.
Because PNG isn't a good format for GPU textures. Oodle texture+Kraken+something like BC7 is an optimal solution and is used in many games.

IGPs (IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP) and BGP solve different problems and networks often need both. Some niche networks get away with using only BGP (massive datacenters), and some get away with using only an IGP (smaller networks), and some don't even need that (small networks).
> but it is one of the fields that was necessary and instrumental in the development of the of the universal Turing machine.

I wouldn’t be so sure, Windows is famously annoying to goof with the boot loader on from a running install. You usually need to boot from another system to fix/reinstall it (at least, you did last time I needed to bring back the Windows bootloader on a borked dual boot).

Although, since UWP doesn’t work it’s a moot point, that means you probably can’t run Windows Update.
> For one thing, tenure can be replaced by higher salaries.

Do you imply the universities will magically get more money somehow?

>Who knows, maybe these universities will get more bang for their bucks that way.

Scott Aarsonson knows. They won't.

Also, everyone in the field does. There's a reason tenure exists.

>After all, there are industrial research labs that play in the same league as the top research universities.

Same league, a microscopic fraction of the scope. The bottom line is always there, and it guides which research gets funded.

>And there are other forces that make people want to pursue academic careers.

...most of which are given by tenure.

>Academics are very ego-driven, they measure their success in prizes, grants, publications, so if these universities give them the means to do that, they'll still attract top talent.

As someone with a PhD in mathematics: absolutely not.

All that aside, great research takes time and persistence, and culture, and environment, and working groups. All that disappears once your core is transient.
In the theme of other comments, I struggle to identify what I am.

Am I a designer who codes, or a coder who designs?

Am I a product designer? I did an "Industrial Design" degree, so formally yes, but most people here think of product design in the digital not physical sense.

Am I an engineer? Well I don't have a "formal" engineering degree but I have worked professionally as a "Design Engineer" (in the physical product sense), and a "Software Engineer", so I would say yes.

Am I an "inventor" who can build stuff, probably.

I dislike labelling people, it puts you in a silo that can be difficult to span out of. I just wish job ads were not so prescriptive, putting up walls of what a role is.

Just do you, do what you love, what interests you, and find people you enjoy working with.
Only Mac stans think that M1 or M2 computers are better than the competition.

They're the best at a specific benchmark (single core power consumption) that isn't relevant to how they're intended to be used, and which frequently ends up with M-based laptops being paper by their Windows competition at most tasks.
Some tenured professors slack on teaching, or were never that great at teaching to begin with. But tenure as an institution improves teaching quality. What professors teach is subject no less to academic freedom and the protections tenure provides than what professors research. Faculty subject to short-term contracts tend to have their contract renewal dependent on student evaluation scores, which study after study show are poorly correlated (and often anti-correlated) with student learning outcomes. Good teachers aren't necessarily popular; easy graders are popular. Conveying difficult subject matter that may be controversial or technically difficult to grok is crucial to learning outcomes. This is exactly what gets cut out when you lose academic freedom, become a cog of administrators who are out to maximize enrollments not learning outcomes, and have your job performance hinge upon student evaluations.
bad title:

After the verdict, jurors told Reuters that the electric-vehicle maker clearly warned that the partially automated driving software was not a self-piloted system, and that driver distraction was to blame.

That only makes sense if the idle capital of GPUs is cheaper than the energy powering them.

There are very few applications like this, and even fewer that are easily distributed to that you don't have to use expensive transmission lines to power them.

For example, most new hydrogen electrolysis facilities are planning to build direct-connected solar without even connecting to the grid, and using the energy directly, because letting electrolyzes sit idle for a week is not cost effective. And the grid cost would be expensive too. So building utility-scale solar without a grid connection makes the most financial sense.

In India, farming is intentionally hobbled and kept under-mechanized to ensure employment for the bulk of the population. There are limits on land holding and commercial sales, such that most farms are just a few acres, making large scale mechanization unfeasible.

Why keep different filesystems outside of specific performance needs? I've experimented with weirder things, like Linux running on NTFS with the new kernel driver.
A more sensible approach would be to have a separate data volume to store important stuff on and leave it as BtrFS while letting Windows and Windows software run off NTFS.

But, then, what’d be the fun of having a computer you don’t need to fix?
I don't talk about winning. Russia lost almost all political influence in Europe. In exchange for small parts of the Ukraine which are now minefields.

> their original goal

Their original goal was to conquer the whole of the Ukraine in a few days.

What happened was that the parts they have conquered are destroyed. They lost >100k soldiers (dead or wounded). They exposed their military capabilities to be way worse than claimed. They exposed their intelligence service, the military and the government to be even more incompetent than thought. They gave NATO a welcome boost with lots of investments, new members, a common enemy. They lost large parts of the European market for import and export.

Russia beamed itself twenty years backwards. How stupid is that?

It can definitely be solved. But right now that wording represents "false endorsement" and people are already confused about it and telling those affected that "they've lied" and what not.
It's really matured, and although the RAID5/6 Write Hole still exists, I wouldn't reccomend a ZDEV over RAID10 either, which is what I believe offers the best tradeoffs for most users on both filesystems. Love the flexibility that BTRFS provides via eg. the balance comand, and Snapper is great for snapshot management.
But the path length can be longer! They just don't care and offload the work.
One alternative is that you overbuild and connect very widely. China has 3000+km power connections. If you do that you can connect to remote wind, which is never not blowing somewhere within 3000km of you. During the day, solar nearer the equator could power areas further away. That’s not the full answer but definitely a useful addition to storage.

There are also battery tech like liquid metal that is being more widely tested and suits grid storage. That scales like crazy if it works.
Anyone interested in linking up to register as a team for either track?

“Track A: Space-Based Wildfire Detection and Intelligence

In the Space-Based Wildfire Detection & Intelligence track, teams will have one minute to accurately detect all fires across a landscape larger than entire states or countries, and 10 minutes to precisely characterize and report data with the least false positives to two ground stations.

Track B: Autonomous Wildfire Response

In the Autonomous Wildfire Response track, teams have 10 minutes to autonomously detect and suppress a high-risk fire in a 1,000 km2, environmentally challenging area, leaving any decoy fires untouched.”

Nope, third party browsers used to be unable to use JIT even when using WebKit, and that was back when devices were slower. This meant there were jailbreak tweaks such as this one: http://cydia.saurik.com/package/net.joedj.nitrous/

> Nitro dramatically improves JavaScript performance in web-oriented applications like Chrome/Facebook/Twitter /AlienBlue/Dolphin/Mercury, typically making it 4x to 5x faster.

The smartest people in a field are not necessarily the best at training, especially if they care more about their own research end goals than trainee outcomes and/or have never gotten proper guidance on how to effectively mentor.

Whether someone would be/is a good graduate student mentor is a total side dish when it comes to hiring and tenure decisions too. Grants, publications, professional connections, research topic/vision, are all more frequently discussed.
Absolutely.

It is crucial to realize that designing an app that is meant to be used by professionals is different from designing an app meant to be used by everyone.

Apps that are meant to be used by everyone need to try and lowest-common-denominator the design. It means reduced information density, less distractions, and always guiding them by the hand to do what they want to do.

Apps for professionals are meant to be used frequently, build familiarity, and provide powerful tools for those people. In those cases some friction in the design can be tolerated if the result is a powerful tool, and information density can be high because it speeds up their workflow.
Ah, AOLServer! I remember using it when it was NaviServer. I helped to launch my employer's website (packardbell.com) on NaviServer on Solaris way back then. Some of the things I liked:

* It had a decent HTML editor that our marketing people could easily use to update news items on the website. The editor talked directly to NaviServer in a WebDAV-ish way to browse and edit the files.

* It was packaged with Illustra RDBMS for full-text search of the hosted website. Never heard of Illustra? Neither had I back then, but when I fired up the Illustra CLI, it looked awfully familiar! I quickly learned that Illustra was a commercialized version of Postgres.

* I emailed the vendor at the time for a Linux port. The response was that Linux didn't have proper threading libraries. This is back when Linux had sub-par support for threads in the libraries. I replied with a pointer to a thread on LKML about Linux kernel-level threading (IIRC, clone()) and the response was that the functionality looked similar to Irix, and they would try a port. They released a Linux port not long after.

* NaviServer didn't just serve HTML pages. It was also a basic application server due to integrated tcl. I never really mastered tcl, but I was able to build a basic repair center lookup page on the site.

All this back in the mid-90's!

In many ways, NaviServer was way, way, way ahead of its time.
My understanding is that we currently reside in an inter-glacial period within the ice age. If humanity has already engineered the climate of the Earth enough to exit the ice age, then that's quite an accomplishment.
Oh that's just part of it. The other part of design is the look and feel, or how attractive something is. It's a big part of it.

Nowadays people find minimalist designs more attractive so it's not just UX, but even the aesthetics have been cut down to pure simplistic geometry. So to make things look good "aesthetically in terms of modern design" now requires very little talent.
pretty much the same one as GISAID- there are a bunch of people who do email support for genomics databases. Also cloud email support and tech documentation
If you’re a designer (or business person, or just a human) and you’re thinking about learning code…pay a LOT of attention to this sentence from the article:

> “I code because I love to code.”

In my experience, that’s all that matters. If you can try a coding tutorial and find the _process_ fun, if a little irritating, you can learn to code.

Too many people suffer for a long time trying to code because “it’s cool” even though they hate it. There’s nothing better about code than any other skill, and a lot of people really struggle with it. You can probably get a pretty good sense of if coding is a good fit for you in ~4 hours on a couple udemy tutorials.
