We have community college + low cost state colleges. CC is almost free, cheap state colleges probably will cause a little debt. Some part time job will probably offset most of this.

Completely free will be abused probably, let’s be honest
Speaking of stereotypes, if anyone takes astrology seriously, I automatically assume they are not intelligent, irrational, and I find it impossible to take them seriously.

I consider them beyond reason so I don't even try. If a person's logic and epistemology lead to him believing in astrology, it shows a deeper problem and I don't hope to have an intelligent discussion with them any more than I expect to have an intelligent discussion with GPT2 or with a talking parrot.

I can tolerate conspiracy theories, or aliens, or whacky religions, but astrology is just so dumb. I can't see an intelligent person ever falling for it. Hell I would probably consider a flat earther with a tinfoil hat more intelligent.
N26 is also infamous for being the go-to-bank for cybercriminals. That may be because they are easier to fool than your local bank branch where most financial stuff happens in Germany, but my impression is, that they don't care...
As open source options mature & become more plentiful, it simply becomes more 'painful' for companies to ignore / go a closed sourced route.

Closed source = extra cost, licensing red tape & so on. However small, it's a bother.

Need an OS? Grab open source one. Want that + 'secret sauce'? Grab BSD flavour OS & add your secret sauce. Want OS with custom user interface? Grab open source OS & add custom UI shell.

Going closed source for anything where open source does the job, just means extra development effort, or paying 3rd party $$ while (often) not necessary. And eg. $0.05 royalties / device matters when it's a part with $3 production cost.

On the hardware side this is a much slower moving train. But same principle.

The day humanity understands the power of symbol is the day we turn reality into anything we desire, for the representation of information is everything. That is what I think of as true magic. Narrative control is the most important state actor military agenda, no wonder if it frames how reality is interpreted and rendered.
Can't say whether more or less is better, but I got a D grade in my Advanced Bio class in high school, then I retook that semester but did regular Biology. Got an A (maybe B+) and I remember almost everything from the regular class.

Depth has its merits but it's not reasonable to expect the participant to retain all that knowledge. Let them come back for more once those few things they retained tickle their fancy!
My complain isn't with ChatGPT, but with natural language. Even if GPT understands what you want, this interpretation needs to be stable over time and there's just no guarantee of that, and further, if you're actually programming in natural language as the original post suggested, it's not immediately possible to inspect how the language is interpreted.

This is a problem that humans struggle with too.

The two ways you typically end up getting around this problem with a programming language; a subset of natural language that uses very short and terse sentences with a simple and limited grammar;

BUY MILK(1).
IF EGGS EXIST THEN
BUY EGGS(12)
END IF

... or extremely laborious clarifications on the exact sense in which everything is meant, as seen in legal text which needs to be immune sophistry and various adversarial (mis)interpretations. e.g.

Locate, select, and acquire, through lawful means, one (1) carton of milk, being of a commercially reasonable grade, suitable for human consumption, and free from any defects that would render it unsuitable for its intended purpose; and
In the event the designated commercial establishment has available for sale, (12) one dozen eggs, the Designated Acquirer is hereby further empowered to purchase the aforementioned eggs, subject to them being in compliance with the prevailing quality standards for eggs.

That is the main reason why I fall back to good old book guides. They are actually quite fun and make me nostalgic, because in my childhood we used them too. Piggyback is a publisher that makes great ones, they publish only one per year and put a lot of effort and work in their guides. They made the offical Tears of the Kingdom guide too, can recommend.
> Without Organised Religion you get antivax people

Antivax people have been around since 1798 when the first vaccine was invented (arguably even _before_ that; some of the same arguments were made about variolation).
ToT llvm autovectorisation for riscv "V" 1.0 is actually really rather decent. Not as good as handcoding, natch, but can get to within a factor of two or better especially on workloads which are mostly simple tiny loops over data that's contiguous or has constant stride, as in h264 encoding.

Of course, the question is somewhat moot until we have development hardware available to buy that supports the ratified 1.0 version of the vector extensions. So, another year or so I'd guess.
The author talks a lot about how NULL in SQL is supposedly unnecessary, and claims that it is totally possible to handle unknown SQL values without NULL. Yet he successfully avoids explaining how his solution is supposed to work. At the end he links to a (paid?) paper where his solution is apparently explained, though the link has since ceased to work. Great.
Free youtube videos are where I get my fix. Helped me in my depression a LOT. And didn't cost me a penny.
Perfect example of narrative perspective influencing interpretation of events.
For the life of me I can't understand why so many are obsessed with LLMs as search engines and knowledge databases when it seems like it's impossible for them to be that.
My advice would be (if you're in it to make a living) to get out and move into finance.
I guess IE’s reputation was also shaded by the reputation of Microsoft. The Microsoft back in the 90s and early 00s was IMHO, not a very nice company. But how they have evolved! For someone starting out with Linux in the 90s I could never dream of Microsoft being a part of the open source ecosystem. In my book, Satya Nadella has been a very good steward of his company.
Surely it’s needed for the “protection of the children”?
and with organised religion you get the crusades and the inquisition.

Current day catholicism is pretty nice, because we've had a good 300+ years of post-englightenment/rationalism in society to balance out the violent intolerance religion zealots can dish out.

agree that religious/spiritual groups can be good for social ties.

To be fair, playing badmington every tuesday night is also good for social ties, and less likely to make you feel justified in violently disembowelling someone for heresy. Or flying planes into tall building in the name of God.

You know, given the choice between ISIS and antivaxxers, I think I'll take the anitvaxxers.
How is astrology a proven scam?
Inkscape really is one of my favorite piece of software.

The new features are almost all things that I have wished Inkscape had dozens of times.

Font collections (the font menu is slow when you have to go through half of it to find the font you want), pinned colors (I often had a text file opened with hex color code to copy-paste them), margin management (I often had a transparent rectangle at the content size to use for placement), shape builder tool (so many steps to do this work using path difference and path union operations), lasso node selection (all this zoom in and zoom out to select dots one by one when a rectangle selection cannot do it), …

Congrats to the team!

> Slackware did not have ANY dependency mechanism for packages, so often installing them was a lottery.

That's why i switched from Redhat 5.2 to Slackware and never looked back.

In redhat you had circular dependencies: libfoo requires package libbar and libbar requires package libfoo.

Solution: use rpm --force

Also an RPM package will refuse to install when a dependency was not found (when you compiled and install the library yourself).
Much like cliffhangers in fiction, sciences should be taught this way as well. Cause the student to anxiously seek out what happens next. Some will, some won't. Those who do are the ones the program should want to keep.
All good, thanks for the follow-up! I've been curious about the (original) Edge rendering engine for some time.
I have Tarot cards exactly for this reason. It's also just a fun party game.

But of all the esoteric things, astrology seems the most boring to me, because it's static and determined just once when you're born. It feels like there's just no interaction involved.
It's pretty remarkable that Firefox and Chrome were able to succeed over a web browser that came installed on everyone's devices.

A person had to use IE to go and find another software that does the same thing. And for a browser, there is relatively little UI to begin with - it's mostly an empty box to view websites. The technical folks are used to that, but the majority of market share is non technical people. The "be 10x better" paradigm is especially hard when it's your empty white box versus mine.

Thinking back, I suspect adblocking and pop-up blocking was a big part. The IE era web was extremely user hostile, with pop-up windows and pop-behind windows everywhere. And Firefox* offered a solution to it by blocking those, which I think was hard for Microsoft to follow due to their partnerships with major websites. Tabs were another, but I think that was less important.

* Then Mozilla, and Opera did it first

That feels like a false dichotomy. You can have beliefs outside of consumerism without resorting to religions or traditions.
Looks like usability on mac improved massively between version 1 and this version. Version 1.0 was barely usable on a mac. I just tried version 1.3 out for a few minutes. The UI looks very slick and responsive compared to what I last saw. I'm not a designer but this looks like I could use it and would probably experience a bit of a learning curve. It's a bit intimidating with all the buttons on all sides of the window.
I went to the cupboard the other day to play some old board games with family and friends.

But we hadn’t played the games in quite a while so the board game company had sent someone around and destroyed them.

It’s fair enough too, I mean how can the game company be reasonably expected to not destroy what it sold me if I haven’t used it for a while? It’s on me.

So we had to find something else to do that afternoon.
Sure, but it's reasonable for most people to expect an extension they've downloaded from within the app itself might have similar licensing as the app itself.

Even if it isn't reasonable to do so, I suspect most people do indeed do so, and that's exactly what Oracle is counting on.
Yes, I've been using TST without the top tab list visible since about 2012.

Why? I find that increased workplace productivity/creativity directly translates to increased life productivity/creativity.

Which is to say, I get more effective at applying my skills to whatever activity I choose.

"I think the easy way to look at this is that a certain segment of society will always want to believe in something beyond the observable world"

So nearly every scientist that is known for introducing a paradigm shift in history?

Most often these scientists or inventors do not have something in the observable world, they rely on their imagination and spark of intuition to craft their way towards a representation in the observable world.
I want to address the use of terminology like Whabi, hardliner, conservative, literalists etc. It is a orientalists way of looking at Islam. Already it bakes in the narrative that not changing
your religion to align with western values = stubborn = conservative = backwards = bad

Islam does not change and will not change. It is the highest level of cognitive dissonance to believe in the creator of the heavens and Earth. That has created the universe and everything in it, yet human legislation and morality is better and conginizant to what God has given. This is a contradiction for those who subscribe to "progressive" Islam.

A common quip against religion is saying how they are following a "man made religion". It becomes man made if it is free to change with the times. Things can be added and subtracted. This is really wrong and that is how you end up with humans corrupting religion.

This is why Muslims are serious in their religion. They do not wish to bend and water down their religion with whatever mortality is currently trending.
Thanks for the summary, the original text makes more sense with that as context.
Twitter has managed to get so many words to be common. Like it's a "tweet", not "a post on facebook". It's a "retweet" or "quote tweet", not "something I shared on facebook". Why throw all this deep brand recognition away?

It's like people say "google it", and google suddenly changing the name of their search.
It has not been decided. There was a talk about the details just 2 weeks ago on the RISC-V International Youtube channel. Very interesting and recommended.
I doubt VirtualBox was even a line item on Sun's financials, so I really doubt that had anything to do with their failure.
> I always wonder what the morals and ethics of these kind of business owners is.

I think you may have answered your own question.
Jetstream (includes Streams (better as in Kafka IMO), a powerful KV Store and also an Object Store to store files) is really powerful. It earns much more attention than it currently has.

Jetstream is also much easier to operate than Kafka IMO. Just a simple single binary with an easy to understand config.
I don’t think you know what a metaphor means in a conversational context.
To me: I'm proud of what I do, I'm enjoying my life, both at work and outside. I'm happy with how I react to adversity or outside events (I'm a bit slow to react to break down fights in public areas, but I do react). I have interesting conversation with my friends and family, I have multiple communities I can interact with.

I wouldn't be anyone else or change a thing in my life, even my mistakes or the time I was homeless I do not regret.
Exactly. It's just a tool to visualize your own intuition. I have my own set of cards. I lay them, and see what I see. And of course, it's just me making up a story, but it has significance to me, and helps me in understanding myself better.

It's not hard to understand, yet, people find it "weird".
I guess it ties in with the still-prevalent thought that mental wellbeing is something you don't really talk about. It's shameful to some people to say you're depressed, or seeing a psychologist.

Tarot AND psychologists have helped me tremendously in my depression. Tarot in particular has helped me far more than any psychologist could, just because it makes me understand where I am, what I'm stuck thinking about, and how to move forward.
Hah. That's quite funny.

I don't think you deserve a Nobel, but I do think that teaching your son to solve lots of different problems with algorithmic recursion is going to help him much more in life than memorizing the way to solve one problem on a math test.

I don't think I ever understood math except where it was logical, within the bounds of what I could deduce. But when I learned to write recursive algorithms, that capacity for deduction expanded exponentially.
It's probably fair that Turing is the only world famous name, but I don't think the BP museum or authors etc. generally do others any great disservice - the names you mention should be familiar to anyone who's visited.

I can't remember the film though, can believe it was more Turing-oriented.

ironically enough, a fairly large number of doctors/nurses smoke, at least from what I've observed.
I think you're simply not asking yourself hard enough questions. I'm making a pivot away from "lol nothing matters so it's everyone for themselves" now largely because my values are not aligned with how I've engaged with society so far.

I reduce my burden on the environment by buying used rather than new whenever I can (for some reason no one wants to consider the upfront heavy burdens of manufacturing things like e-bikes and EVs when the used markets for both are so healthy). I try to avoid contributing to the workplace suffering of others and the normalization of antisocial, anticompetitive business strategies so I try not to encourage those practices by giving money to those who violate those (e.g. Amazon). I shop at overstock groceries (Grocery Outlet) and department stores (Ross, Marshalls) to circularize the economy that much more.

Everyone has priorities, and especially as we emerge out of the pandemic and I observe the working and spending habits of those around me I see that many people value personal, individual conveniences often at the expense of dignity and comfort for others. I want to think I value those things for myself and others and so try to live in accordance with those values. Everyone must compromise but that doesn't excuse at all where exactly we end up drawing that line.
Personally, I preferred the Microsoft of the 90s and 00s who were concerned about getting my money at the cash register.

These days, Microsoft are concerned about getting my money at my god damn desk every second of the god damn day.
I do wonder whether counting artificial categories is the right measure.

Let's take the mammoth - it's basically a hairy elephant and the genetic material that could make one is 99+% present in Asian elephants ( possibly 100%, just not all in the same individual ) today.

A bit of selective breeding and you could probably produce one quite quickly [1]

ie the true measure of diversity is the pool of genetic diversity out there - rather than some arbitrary classifications.

[1] Look at the variety in shape and form of domestic dogs - they all came from the same stock a mere 20-40K years ago.
Think about it as odds. Unless you have the time to become an expert yourself, following the majority is more likely to be correct than following fringe opinions. Sue, sometimes the fringe opinion turns out to be the correct one, but which fringe opinion?
on windows use hyperv as best solution, on linux we have best. same for mac. so just lacking, i did no searched so, one mgmt script set to abstract best per platform. vbox sucks if it is not open, there are closed best alternatives per platform. and there is vmware.
Browser in those days, is not a good business. IE6 sticks years no updates, watching Firefox or Chrome grab the market, because Microsoft do not gain 1 cent from browser software, they were waiting for Google's bad luck. Until a decade later, everybody saw browser's value.
I hope you mean a majority of experts, not majority in general.
I wonder how Codd's original relational algebra handled this case, as he didn't have NULL cells.
I do care about the things type checking could find. I just don't care to use type checking to find them, because I'd find them by doing other activities (extensive testing) that I'd do anyway.
And possibly that you may not fully remember after the 3 but you got your feet wet on 4, 5, and 6 and voluntarily go back to notes and additional research to get it all.
I had to reinstall all machines from V6 in V7. None (Linux and Windows) worked really good, crashes all the time.

Are you suggesting the "we take all your data"-ecosystem of Alphabet is preferable?
Or are you so hardcore, everyone not working on *nix FOSS is judged?
No it isn't. PowerPC was never free. I think you mean OpenPOWER. Again that was just marketing, it wasn't free in anyway. Only the pressure of RISC-V lead to POWER and MIPS becoming more free over time.

And even if OpenSPARC had a open spec, but was only for 32bit. The 64 bit version would never become a standard. You need more then air dropping a spec. You need people to continue to push it forward and evolve it. You need to build a community around a standard. Sun simply wasn't interested in doing that, they just made a spec and left it there.

OpenSPARC had some success, being used for space by ESA for example. But it didn't get adoption in education. The venders of embedded chips were not interest. But the time was just not ready, the OpenSource ecosystem wasn't ready and the publisher (Sun) didn't care about embedded. The seperation between chip makers and fabs had not fully happened yet.

Saying that RISC-V is like POWER is just fundamentally false.

Saying RISC-V is like SPARC 32-bit is slightly more correct, but misses a whole lot context that is non-technical.

Yes we should give Sun credit for what they did with SPARC. But RISC-V is quite a different thing.

I've always held this conjecture that Jeet Kune do (JK do, so to speak) was actually a nod to JK, Jiddu Krishnamurthi, whose writings deeply influenced Bruce Lee while being bedridden in hospital for many months.

He was the David Goggins of that generation. What an amazing human being.
I mean, no. it should be state-by-state thing but if all states implement it then great. but it shouldn't be federally mandated. maximizing state autonomy is a good thing.
