1. They've taken to offering those bootcamps or at least hosting those types of training themselves. As far as the traditional university rigor goes, they still teach data structures and PLC the same way that they always have, but I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. There is value in knowing those concepts even though most 9-5 SWE don't need or care about them. There is also benefit in working and struggling with a cohort: in traditional universities many students often share classes with one another (at least the majors classes) so you can make life-long relationships.

2. It depends. If the goal is to be employed as a "normie" SWE, then no. If the goal is to work in a STEM field, then maybe. If the goal is to be an academic or researcher, then yes.

3. I can easily name a dozen or more very excellent engineers that either never went to traditional university or had degrees in other fields. When I hire I'm looking as much for drive, motivation, personality, and levelheadedness as I am for knowledge, and academic credentialism is a second tier (or lower) consideration.

4. Probably answering along the same lines as #2. People and markets will find the highest value.

5. Worked in a university system for a total of a decade - about 15 years ago - including a two year stint at a prestigious engineering/science/compsci school in the southeast. I'm sure things have changed but as with all super large bodies it probably hasn't been much. I also still have friends that work in those places and we talk frequently about the state of things (usually by complaining about it). I took advantage of the paid tuition while I was there, working as a desktop tech and taking classes as night. During that ten years I became so frustrated with the way things were run - it was mentally and emotionally draining. It was also fraught with abuse, mismanagement, scandal, and there was no career path (there were only COLA raises no matter how well you performed or what certifications/degrees you got). As much as I loved the university the administrative side of things have ruined it. And all that was before this new wave of distaste and distrust with universities.
> If the US pollutes too much (for example's sake) and the ice shelf at the North pole melts, you're gonna feel it all over the world because the water will rise equally.

"If the US pollutes too much", droughts and other rare-ish weather events in South America, Africa and South Asia will displace more people and lead to more instability. That's a much more tangible threat in our lifetimes...
Seems like finally the year of the linux desktop has come.
This is the price the US has to pay if it wants to remain the global hegemon. Keeping shipping routes open is table stakes in maintain their post-WW2 role. In an ideal world the US would want the harmed countries, such as Egypt, to do more but the reality is they can't due to domestic politics. Egypt needs to preserve face for regime survival. So the US will do the heavy lifting here but the price will be diplomatic leverage later on. The US doesn't actually lose out, that leverage counts for something. This is the status quo, really.
I’ve thought about that. There is a fence immediately right of my driveway and an alley immediately left. I have very little space to install any sort of pole, and as I live in Minnesota, what little space I do have is needed badly for snow storage. It’s already a problem, last winter the snow was stacked above 6 feet either side.

The left side of my garage potentially has room for a charger to be mounted to the face of the garage, the right side does not.

How long are the cables generally? If I could charge both cars from the left of the garage with like extra long charging cords it could maybe be workable if not a tripping hazard. I also wonder how flexible the cables are in -20°F to -30°F weather? Do they get stiff/brittle?
Let me guess: you are low-balling your Tesla maintenance costs, because you haven't yet had an issue. Well, guess what, when you do, dealing with it will be expensive.

RepairPal says the average annual cost to maintain a Model 3 is twice that of a Honda Civic.
> The appetite for a "two-state solution" seems much higher in Israel, even in the conservative communities, than it ever has been in the so-called Palestinian population.

Yitzhak Rabin would presumably disagree.
I was deliberatly being a bit pointy in the wording, but yes that's what I'm saying.

Note: this isn't about oil in Iraq or exterminating terrorism in Afghanistan. The civilian lives on those ships are exactly as civilian as civilians in Yemen. This isn't about some US war in a foreign country. This is about either not stopping attacks on civilian merchant ships, or stopping attacks on merchant ships.
Could this be a honeypot operation?
Isn’t it because that’s the group in power in Israel?

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to support particular parties within sovereign nations. Although the US and others do this very frequently.

I figured it was the same way countries worked with the US during 2017-2021. It didn’t mean they supported a far right position, just that they wanted to work with the US and interacted with the group in charge.

> Uber him around to 6 training sessions a week plus often competitions many miles away, I only briefly averaged 400GBP/month

Uber in the UK must be awfully cheap?

Six trips a week (round trip makes 12) plus a few far-away competitions, so at least ~50 trips a month. For 400GBP?

I rarely use Lyft/Uber but even the shortest trips I've made (just a few miles) are at least $30.
The headline image (Harold Washington Library, Chicago, 1987) is a good example of how Post Modernism got things badly wrong - with its haphazard ornamentation grabbing styles from all over the time/place and tastelessly agglomerating them together without coherent thesis.

Sadly there are many more such examples, architecture was in a dark place in the 80s.
I won't buy any car, electric or ICE, that comes with a data connection to someone else's server. That appears to include all EVs.
It is atypical for issues that affect elite bottom lines to be subject to political gridlock.

The gridlock is simply the manifested reality that legislation is fully pay to play, but if you're paying that's not your problem.
> But instead of spending the money on a house big enough to host those dinner parties, you could host them at a fancy restaurant, with better food and the ability to spend the entire evening with the guests instead of in the kitchen.

I find it staggering that you would feel those are the same experiences. I feel there's a difference in what you consider to be a party and what people consider to be a party.
Hybrids are indeed really neat but I think your math is off.

Yes EVs are heavier but 1,000lbs more is not causing the type of wear to roads that you think it is. Model y is something like 4,300lbs. Max load capacity of a semi is 80,000lb distributed across multiple axles. Most trucks are probably not loaded to max but I could see the axle weight hitting 20k lbs.

Heavier vehicles are definitely going to need heavier compound tires or potentially cause more wear on the tires. I don't think tires is a worthy argument. Even a Hybrid is going to be consuming tires and then you are going to have to get into the argument of which is the lesser evil, potentially increased tire wear or increased point of use pollution.

The grid is just fine. Most charging happens at night and EVs have the potential to reall help out the grid. There is a large push for smarter home devices to min/max use depending on the grid condition. In times of overgeneration, EVs can soak up that energy.
Except the ship could just not go to Israel, you know that's an option right?
What land-based targets in Yemen could be attacked, that would degrade drone launches? These things[0] are very small, gas-powered, and can launch from basically anywhere. And their entire supply chain is in Iran, not Yemen.

Fastmail user here, so SpamAssassin I assume: virtually no false positives. My GMail spam folder is generally 50/50 false and true positives. I really can't use that email for anything as having to go to the spam folder every day defeats the purpose of an anti-spam filter.

They had a great website and UX. Would love to know why this change.

A few years ago we were very worried about the seemingly large number of dev tooling VC funded startups. It's hard to beat someone that doesn't need to turn a profit. But just focussing on our niche and improving our products each day has worked.

We make a low-code offering that allows creating interactive applications. We are much less of a generic tool, more specialized towards "real-time" and often finance based apps. If that sounds useful to you please checkout PulseUI: https://www.timestored.com/pulse/

My business partner and I bootstrapped the company 12+ years ago and have been profitably supplying data tooling for years. We've often signed escrow with larger companies to avoid this kind of bus-factor problem and are now going open source: https://github.com/timestored/pulseui Given our first product was started over a decade ago it's a journey to get there.
Ya, the issue for Yellowstone is mostly when you are in the park. You need to head out to charge, but maybe the math works out better than glaciers where the town with charging is farther away, and the roads in the park more vast.

It's tongue-in-cheek, implying that many people working with the stuff already lost an eye to it.

It's part joke and part telling people "hey, this stuff is really dangerous, take it seriously or you'll lose an eye, or both". I don't think I've seen a single lab with high-powered lasers that didn't have a variant of this sign.

A similar popular sign for chemical labs is "Carol Never Wore Her Safety Goggles. Now She Doesn't Need Them", depicting a blind woman with sunglasses and a white cane. (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/carols-safety-goggles)
That never happened. At least, not in my circles. The progression was typically Basic of some variety (whatever your system shipped with), peek & poke, machine code, assembler and later on either C or Turbo pascal assuming enough time had passed.

Pascal on 8 bit was just too damn slow compared to the alternatives to be very useful and compile times were horrendous. Even the university students that had access to Pascal compilers for the most part only used them to turn in their assignments and avoided it for everything else.

I did a little contest with a friend: we both wrote a chess program, he wrote his state of the art with a ton of optimizations in Pascal, I wrote mine in assembler. His program never stood a chance against a very simplistic implementation that only had minimax and a greedy (strictly material based) evaluation routine.

Good times :)

You can tell who these people, they say things like: "I don't mind waiting an hour to charge every 300 miles because I have to use the bathroom and stretch my legs".

That's all well and good when you are on a long trip once a year. It's unfathomable to stop that often, for that long, when traveling regularly.
That's sort of my point. The Spanish words "Costa Rica" and the French words "Côte d'Ivoire" have the same status in English - they're each the preferred name for the respective place.
This centipede is a predator.
No, C on 8 bits was terrible. You could get it to work but the compilers were slow and the code was bloated compared to assembly.
So what am I supposed to do, never host my friends or family? Never go on road trips?

2 to 4 times a year is a hell of a lot more often than "never". If I can only afford one car, why wouldn't I get one that fits _all_ my needs? If I can only buy one house, why wouldn't I get one that fits _all_ my needs?
What's the catch? Google doesn't need cookies anymore because they can track users with Android/Chrome/GMail/some other trick?

Yeah, I think the building you show is a pretty good example of what Twu would like to see: one big mass, made pretty with consoles, balconies and cornices. You can do a more modern style too, though. I especially like Persian-inspired modern brickwork [1] [2].

What do you consider to be the defining features of Stalinist architecture though? The Wikipedia page portrays it as more or less "whatever happened to be built during Stalin's reign, whatever the style".

Volume does not matter, same with routes. You could probably reduce it to the following, passenger vehicles do no damage to roads. If a road is only driven on my passenger cars it will probably succumb to age/weather damage before weight.
After having gone very far down the rabbit hole of custom keyboards and custom layouts, it's insane how slow innovation is around the "standard" keyboard. I get that backwards compatibility is of utmost importance, but surely we can do better than that.
500 km might not be enough in the USA, but here in the EU? There are seven countries within that range of my apartment (including the country I live in), with a total of five currencies and six languages.

Nobody said that war stopped. The claim is that per capita conflict deaths have declined. This is a precise claim which can't be addressed by simply listing a handful of wars that have occurred.
Have you considered having two datasets? The "development" dataset which is public, and the "competition" dataset which is private?

That might help against algorithms that are (accidentally, or on purpose) tuned to the specific dataset.

On the one hand, Hamas terrorizes the Israeli population.

On the other hand, Israel has a decades-long genocidal plan against the West Bank. The fact that it's done quietly doesn't change its intent.

The intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is: neither side is good, because both see the conflict as a fight for survival, and therefore justifying terrible means.

> Regardless what any critics might have to say, the Space Shuttle Orbiters (and all their accessories) are practically heroes wherever they go. They're a kid's dreams brought to reality and then some.

They certainly have enormous cultural cachet. There's a reason why, even now, it's pretty common for movies to use a shuttle when they want a rocket that takes people to space.

Too bad they were hot garbage when it came to actual performance.

> I hope we can fly something as cool looking and mindblowing as them again some day.

I like to think that we're already doing that right now.

The Falcon 9 is doing the job the Shuttle was created do to: it's a cheap, powerful, and reliable taxi to LEO.
Dumb or bought by corporate interests?

In the EU we are constantly being fed this kind of drivel by journalists that echo the Volkswagen group's usual arguments almost verbatim, I don't think it's just chance.

Linux has a LOT of paid commercial developers. Imagine those companies closed source and produced a commercial kernel that's way ahead of the open one - because they could and would if the license allowed. The public code couldn't keep up and would be kind of useless.

On the other hand, the scenario you describe where everybody wins is already proven to work with the GPL since that is the Linux story. That is the point of it - when everyone cooperates we all win.
I've bought a game recently. It's pretty nice, but it has one problem - a big multiplayer universe which requires some servers to keep up, but the game is not subscription based. The result - quotas on the one small server cluster, so every evening there are constant "Blue Cobra" or "Taupe Python" or similar errors which are just "we don't have enough money for more servers, don't like it don't play, we have your money already".

Exactly this and the rhetoric of ‘spending on a house’ isn’t really a fair comparison.

When you buy a house there is an implied level of investment/saving as a by product of the fact that bricks and mortar in many countries are seen as a good store of value.

When you spend money in a restaurant it’s just gone, there is no chance of your annual meal/get together being counted towards your savings if/when you need to rustle up some extra cash.

There’s also the fact that it is almost always cheaper to host a meal at home opposed to paying for an entire group of friends/family to dine out.
there were software solutions to this, even then.

I look forward to being able to remap this key to something that I don't associate with extreme fatigue. to me, a copilot button is like having an "advertisement" button, or something. absolutely useless.
I've taken many road trips across and around Texas in a Model Y.

Superchargers are so dense on the major roads in Texas you don't even need to plan ahead: You just get in the car and drive, like in an ICE car. On smaller roads you have to plan a bit but Level 2 chargers are common. If I stay with friends, I charge in their driveway and leave the next day with a full "tank." Charging in Texas is a non-issue unless you're visiting very remote places like Big Bend NP.
> (and the switching cost)

Yes, I must say I smiled when I saw the author's assertion that moving the entire legal industry to a new hashing algorithm is "trivial".
Spontaneity is the reason. In my mind if I have a truck (I used to) I could go to the big box store any day I want and pick up nearly anything in that store and take it home to do something. Its not hard to think ahead but if you feel the urge to redo your flower beds and you have a truck (or a van too) you can do it when the urge strikes and not have to be limited to only landscape places that deliver or having to rent a truck and then return it, etc.

Its spontaneity and freedom to do what you want when you want. Same goes for the OP story about EV's. The mental freedom of being able to drive across the country any time someone chooses is liberating vs. only being able to go 200 miles and having to plan out charging stations and wattages/volts/whatever.

No thanks! The compilers were extremely slow. If you wanted to hang around all day waiting for your stuff to compile then that was fine but it wasn't a solution for most of us. Plus the majority of the market was 8-bit machines.

In the early 80s I wrote a lot of code in (BBC) BASIC and assembly. That was extremely fast to build and run, with optimisations where necessary. For example to use a CP/M machine at the time with turbo pascal, it'd take at least 10 minutes to get the machine up and compile something simple. On the BBC Micro at the time, my preferred machine, there would be working code in under a minute. That was a big gain. They were used for test automation at the time over HP-IB (IEEE-488), eventually replaced with PCs running 16-bit Visual Basic on Windows.
Haha, you know what. This must be where I saw it because I went ~6 months back in my YouTube history and CTRL+F'd for ants and saw nothing except a documentary about fire ants which didn't cover this topic.

What a horrible assumption I made thinking I saw this about a year ago, I got tricked into thinking it must have been a long time ago since my YouTube history was coming up empty. I did watch life on our planet shortly after it was available. This is one of the pitfalls of watching lots of media on different platforms, it all blends together. I watch a lot of documentaries on both platforms.
