My USA college had 3 digit codes.

Introduction to computer science was 101. And most people I know of title '101' as the introduction idea.

Second year students take 201, 231, etc. Etc.

Third year was 3xx.

Fourth year was weird, because you take a few graduate classes. Everything from 4xx standard 4th year stuff, to 6xx or 7xx graduate level stuff was available.

-------

I'm pretty sure 6xx or 7xx was more about when the professors felt like teaching btw. A 6xx class was offered every year. 7xx may only be offered once (ever), or maybe every few years at best.
>Unfortunately, Android [9.0] suffers from poor user interface design in a few areas, and one of the most annoying flaws in its user interface is simply that the stock Android OS doesn’t have flexible enough options when it comes to controlling when the phone rings, which is one of the most important aspects of a phone.

Do Not Disturb, at the time of Android 9, did support controlling when the phone rings.

>Bedtime mode is quite useful, but I still have the other problem that my mom could decide to randomly call me in the daytime as well, and unfortunately I rarely want to take her phone calls. However, I also don’t want her to end up homeless or in jail (which has happened before, but that’s a story for another time), and so I don’t want to block her and completely lose the ability to receive her calls. This results in me having to almost always have my phone set to “do not disturb”, so that I don’t have to be disturbed at random times by unwanted phone calls

Could he not have used a custom ringtone for his mother?

Hey, I am 100%%% on your side. <3
American labor keeps getting more expensive and is just not cost competitive with Mexico. If their goal is to make a $25k car without massive automation (which failed spectacularly with the "Alien Dreadnought" -> Megatent disaster), they don't have a whole lot of choice. If you want more domestic manufacturing, a better bone to pick would be with the USMCA allowing this.
Thanks, signing up! :)
> But... Are you not afraid of these unknown, not-yet-public vulnerabilities that this solution clearly protects us against?!

No, not really. First of all, a heavy disclaimer: I am speaking as a rather cynical, old, downright ancient PHP developer and not in any other capability. Not as a former Drupal security team lead, not as a developer for whatever clients I have, just plain old me.

The biggest threat in my opinion on a properly hosted Drupal is information disclosure and privilege escalation within that Drupal instance. Arbitrary code execution is utterly pointless because the user that runs Drupal will have no privileges and there'll be nothing installed on the host, nothing to run anyways. And guess what, none of that benefits from this WASM sorcery. SQL injection and XSS -- and potentially allowing private files to be downloaded -- is the real problem while this protects from arbitrary code execution.
The concept I use is that the next stage is all about how you implement the previous one: the spec is how you implement the requirements, the design is how you implement the spec, the code is how you implement the design.

As okl said, it’s arguably terminology, and maybe high and low level requirements would work for you? I prefer to separate out the terms though, so that “requirements” are the thing that the engineering team can’t unilaterally change without upsetting the stakeholders. If I can change a spec item mid-delivery and it doesn’t matter to the customer, then it wasn’t a requirement. If I can’t change it, then it’s a requirement.
I basically want a MacBook equivalent that runs Linux as a first class OS

Which means: great display, battery life, keyboard, light and thin (for couch use), and then to be available to try before I buy in some form. Eg, visiting a store to try the display/keyboard. Or else, free returns.

(nice trackpads are traps: MacOS makes you rely on their great trackpad, but it makes you more prone to RSI in the long run to use a trackpad all the time. Better to use gnome with its great keyboard shortcuts)

I wish system76 would put better displays in their machines. I hope virgo goes with 1440p or higher. This whole in-house laptop project is very encouraging, I cna't wait to see what they're building in 10 years
“Arms” has the same two meanings as in German (see e.g. the College of Arms — hint: it’s not a place where they teach weaponry). “Coat” in this context refers to the actual coat worn by heralds representing the sovereign. The modern word for that outfit is “tabard” I believe.
Aam Aadmi Party is one such party. Here is their 70 points action plan that they promised in 2015:

>> not everyone needs “good” code and not all code has to scale to hundreds of devs and millions of people to be extremely (millions in revenue) valuable

The problem is that neither the AI nor the average person can tell good code from bad code. This is the classic problem of "the blind leading the blind".

Imagine generating code to build a business only to discover that the generated code is easy to hack into, putting the business at risk. Or that the generated code does not actually do what the requester asked for, causing subtle errors that are not detected until later.

Image making critical business decisions using inaccurate reports that were created using AI-generated code.

If you value your business would you trust an AI that cannot tell fact from fiction to write code your business will rely on? You would be beter off having the AI write your marketing plan than have it write your business applications.
My understanding is that Long Island (Brooklyn and Queens are the westernmost top of Long Island, for those not familiar with the local geography) is the remnants of the mountaintops of the Hudson Valley, that got scraped off during the last Ice Age and pushed into the ocean by the glaciers.

Which means the whole island is essentially built on landfill.
Is this speculation, or something that has actually been seen?
gee golly, you mean kind of like when /r/the_donald was not only on /r/all, but was almost every single post on the top 10 pages of /r/all?
I'm too lazy to create my own language cards so I built a tool to do it for me
I've been trying to find a tool that could just give me relevant content in the form of cards but couldn't really find anything. Instead I built https://flashly.io to take a topic and generate relevant sentences or words with audio then let you download them as an Anki deck!
It becomes worse as you move further away from Anglosphere: according to Wikipedia the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo has a forked red/yellow flag, but AFAIK that's total fabrication, based on a single mention in the record that said "Some troops of Goguryeo used red flags."

If I were still in my 20s I might have fought Wikilawyers on this. Now I'm old and I have enough shit to take care of. :/
The writer missed a great opportunity with the closing sentence:

> Now that the market noise has died down, maybe the metaverse can get a real chance at life.

That should have been “maybe the metaverse will get a second life.”

> Social networks and online forums, as the public square where public discourse takes place, are public goods that should be independent of the whims of politics.

This is possible if everyone would agree to some reasonable ground rules… which they won’t.

For one thing, the public square is about politics. No matter what your rules of discourse are, they will allow some narratives to flourish, and since the goal is to dominate, this is necessarily at the expense of other narratives. Which means your rules are inherently political (and therefore, subject to debate), whether you want them to be or not.
But is it more work, or just a different way of thinking and executing, with the friction coming from lack of practice and yet-to-exist standards?

If static brrak points still aren't producing reliable and consistent results, maybe we need a rethink?
Giving it all away – philanthropy
When I lived in Hatfield briefly in the 1980s, we had thrice-daily post delivery, 9am, noon and 9pm. I imagine it was an artifact of de Havilland's influence.
I came here to say the same haha.

It’s like an “article” or “preposition” in English. Arguably not required, but in practice invaluable. One could argue that shell could have been designed better to not need it but, meh, that ship sailed. Uses of “cat” are ubiquitous and excellent. Not sure why people remotely care when there are bigger problems to worry about.
That's the "Teacher Model" effect. Pretty dismal, eh?

Not to mention the fact that those devices are able to open up the mic and camera ports without prompting (i.e., whenever Amazon wants). Remember that craze of teaching Alexa to recognize different sounds[1]? Everyone who participated allowed Amazon to increase its precision in audio surveillance. Anyone who has Alexa App installed on their phones is allowing Amazon ability to monitor activity across all devices connected via wifi/bluetooth. Unsettling is not the correct word, but it's a good start. It's spyware[2].

Paying attention to the same things as everyone else seems like a bad idea? It means a bunch of non-experts paying shallow attention to things they probably aren't going to go into any depth on and will forget about within days, or it can result in unproductive doomscrolling where everyone worries fruitlessly about the same things.

Modern civilization is built on specialization. We don't have to all worry about the same things. We can pick and choose, and the other stuff is Someone Else's Problem.

This is why there are specialty sites, like forums and subreddits and Hacker News. However, even Hacker News is awfully broad, showing people lots of stuff they probably don't care about and aren't going to do anything about.

RSS feeds and subscription-based following can help if you're careful about curation, but following people has the downside that many people don't stick to the subjects they're experts in and will often repost stuff you don't like because they don't have similar tastes.

And this means having custom filtering would not be a bad thing if the providers of the algorithms could be trusted.
Why is the inevitable result some hard life working 3 jobs? If you care enough you will make it happen. Babies are expensive but they aren't life-changing expensive.
He's not wrong. It just takes a semester or two to get there.
An article I want to read is missing support for Reader View which commonly enables me to read TFA without delving into NoScript to enable js for site.com and site-related-cdn.com etc.
That’s nothing compared to what Constexpr and other c++ features let you do. The conditional compilation example for instance.
Dear Mr Nvidia chief,

programmer and open source contributor here. Because you aren't the only one to tell this "alternative facts" in order to do marketing for your products ( i.e. the Microsoft guy told "we can literally double your programmer overnight, read "an half of your programmer in redundant" ), because I read here on HN that companies are firing people also because subjects like you do these kind of affirmations, because I also read big companies are reducing salaries also because apparently there are those "instant programmers" they can unfreeze when they need them, I have some consideration:

- what if you piss off a large part of the open source community and we stop to publish our code, like the screenwriters' strike in progress ? No more patches for six months, for example.

- What if all the public code is removed from on-line repositories: no new code is added anymore ? What will you use to training your AI stuff ? Your internal code? So we can finally have Nvidia drivers equivalent to the closed source :-) ? Time ago, I read about a "Endgame" initiative, I forgot the reason but then people started to remove code from Github.

- I was reading here a twit of a guy , open source contributor, who realised that copilot ( or other equivalent, I have to look up ) was copying his code 1:1, I don't like if that this AI stuff became a layer of indirection where the license disappear. Our software is open source but that don't authorise anyone to steal the work of people spending their time ( often they free time ) to contribute to community projects. Stuff like that is convincing me to change my level and modalities of contribution!

So, mr Nvidia chief, sir, you are spitting in the plate where AI is training, I don't think it's a good policy.
Hey, unrelated: Does anyone know why it seems MITx stopped offering new courses ~5 years ago? I'm still bummed out and check their page a few times a year.

(I can vouch for this class and the 2x2 one btw; great stuff; I'd recommend any of their math and science courses. The QM ones are especially good)
If I can plug myself in and be in the “matrix” - sure. But I just don’t see how someone expects people live in a virtual world with present day technology. I mean, I used to play MMORPGs for 16 hrs/day, but that’s for a very small minority.
That's because this is a ThinkPad keyboard. I'll highly doubt that they will get a license to use those by default. They either have to come up with their own design or make it compatible with a ThinkPad keyboard, which you then have to buy and install yourself.
Africa: 400,000 people out of 1.1 billion get fluorides in there water.

Asia: close to none in China (didn't find any hard numbers), none in India, less than 1% in Japan. Only Malaysia is doing it at any resonable scale.

Europe: 2% of the population get it, roughly 14 million people with 10.5 million of those being in the UK and Ireland.

So that leaves North America, with the exception of Mexico which jas high natural fluoride levels and fluorides salt, Australia and Latin America.

Going by these numbers, the majority of people get fluoride through different means from drinking water. Afroca of cpurse has a lot of other issues regarding drinking water, starting with the exostince of clean drinking water itself.

So techinicalls you are correct, overall much less so.
What they're describing is really just copying the processes used by EV manufacturers in China.

Torx screws are easier to work with than Philips screws. Anyone serious about opening up their electronics has T5 bits at home.

I have a cheap Chinese set of bits bought 20 years ago, and it includes T5.
China is throwing money at the problem, as simple as that. They're all too aware that their pollution issues need to be solved, and if it kickstarts an industry that can undercut Western competition, all the better..
It's not “you can’t trust anything”. It's "you can’t trust anything you're told”.

There was a recent thread on HN about generating HTML using string templates, arguing that if users keep on doing something for years despite constant recommendations against it, the recommendations must be wrong.

I didn't agree with it - it's an ok rule of thumb in moderation but I don't think HTML string templates are a good example. But, `cat` is absolutely the perfect example.

I use shellcheck which automatically corrects all my "useless" uses of cat, and I can tell you there's no more common error in other people's code that it complains about. And the benefits of "fixing" this error are always so marginal, the resultant code so much less readable.

I had an abnormal value. Doctors kept telling me to ignore it. Despite me having a lot of issues.

2 years of battling to get tests done. End up having 3 uncommon conditions. One of which was going to kill me without urgent treatment. Drastic quality of life improvement from proper treatment.

Spent years being told I was a hypochondriac for insisting something wasn’t right. That everything I was experiencing was just anxiety.
This won't possibly be misused.
This is indeed a good example.

I think what you are looking for in GIMP is the Heal tool[1]. It sounds a bit like the xyproblem[2,3]: what you want is a way to erase part of the picture, not "the clone/stamp brush in GIMP". It may also be related to the "curse of knowledge" cognitive bias, but you have to unlearn some of what you already know (and doesn't apply here): having a different interface is supposed to help a bit here.

I understand why you'd just want "photoshop but free", but there are a lot of reasons why it would be complicated to obtain, if achievable, not to mention... desirable?

Regarding the heal tool, on my UI (2.10.34) I have to long-press the "clone" button, next to the eraser, to get it. Now that I mention it... the "clone" tool [4] may be what you are looking for? I tend to prefer the heal tool though. The "clone" tool was here since ~2004-2007 (timespan of the 2.2 version) according to the manual[5], which makes me question your memory, though.

Krita is more of a painting program than an image editor, so this tool is less needed. I am also less comfortable with it, but I found the "smart patch tool" [6] in under 30s of looking up "krita remove part image" in DuckDuckGo. I also found references to the clone brush, so I looked for it, that sounds more like what you describe[7].

Anyway, I don't want to attack you or anything, I would just like to point out that in general, when switching tools, it's better to look for the idiomatic way of achieving the same result, than a 1:1 equivalent of every step.

I've wanted to redo differential equations so I could buy an Analog Thing...
Thanks! And I fixed some bugs in the meantime. Yes, and the API should maintain its simplicity without making it super complex. And I'm still considering moving token to the headers instead of query params, as stated in one of the comments here. There are obvious pros and cons.
Although it's not an ideal situation, I'll still take neoliberal globalization over crippling inflation and mass third-world unemployment.
This is the intended purpose of the feature. gzip may be a little aggressive given that you have to unzip it again at the other end but its very possible (and potentially not even as expensive as one might expect given that these types of compression algorithms can be tuned on a speed/size tradeoff and backoff when struggling to compress).

https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged is a D library that generates a parser generator for you based on a grammar (string) at compile time.
That usage is not unique to rich people.
It isn't a good look to be a brand new account with only 4 posts all commenting on the same thread with an anti-Louis slant. Tom Sparks is clearly pro-Graphene and paints Micay as a victim. Many of us here have direct experience dealing with strcat and being accused of being trolls or part of a smear campaign.
> Also, try to teach a young person to use an old program

Funny enough, the few times I had to do that, it turned out to be easy.

Why? Because the software may not look shiny, but it's obvious and discoverable. There is the menu-bar. It says "File". The assumption that "File" is the right place to look for the button that saves the work to a file is one that comes pretty naturally. And of course the keybind is written right there next to the menu item.

Ugly? Maybe. But it's obvious and gets the job done.

Now let's look at some "modern" software, and the Button to save is...yeah, anyones guess really where it is.

Might be in some hamburger or sub-hamburger.

Might be in some animated menu that I have to scroll beyond the various cloud-store options to store to disk, which is a common dark pattern, because cloud solutions are something I can sell, while the users disk isn't.

There might be some gesture-based menu, even in desktop apps.

It may be a button in the interface, but which one is anyones guess ... because apparently the floppy disk icon is not "modern" enough, so there may be any combination of boxes, arrows, arrows in boxes, or whatever happened to be the ultimate wisdom in save-button design at the time.

I have seen apps where it was in the "Share" menu, right next to whatsapp and facebook integration, because these are vitally important options for all apps apparently.
Picking Vectors to Pack
I'm not sure total lack of knowledge can ever be encoded into a prior distribution, and if it can, I think Jeffreys prior makes a more compelling case than a uniform prior. After all, to believe that all possible values of the prior parameter are equally likely, is to believe that all possible values of its square are not.
This is the social equivalent to the old programmer axiom “my code would be perfect if it wasn’t for your data”
Wonderful page, I completely agree. Especially the in-page pop-ups are an atrocity that Firefox still hasn't solved, despite having announced plans to do so (any tips are welcome, this shit is unbearable).

One thing I like about lobste.rs is that it included archive links. A step further would be one that directly pipes the article through some "reader mode" site.
You’ve been flagged but your point is largely correct. There is a big difference between Valve in listing them, and Nintendo sending them a DMCA. The dolphin developers ignored that difference and the former Dolphin developer called them out.
It could certainly be better, but in a world where my options are C, C++, or assembly, I pick C++ every day.

I do keep hoping for something else to get big enough we can use it because C++ sucks, but is still better than the alternatives we can use.
Why are there always super obnoxious scrapers out there? It doesn't even make sense from the scrapers perspective because it raises the chance of being blocked and having annoying anti bot measures introduced. It especially makes no sense in this case because archive.org would be happy to give them the data for probably less than whatever they were going to spend on AWS. There's no manners anymore.
In theory, obesity can be solved with diet. In practice, it is a complex issue.
