Clickbait (in the context of Rust). In languages with managed memory there are no true memory leaks so such wastes are called leaks. In lower-level languages, we should stay more strict with what we call things.
I think you misunderstand - there are no other app stores. Only different payment processors.
This is not only a morally ambiguous sci-fi, it also skips on issue that we have no 100% proof way to make sure the blood used in the procedures you proposed will not contain cancer cells that will then invade the transplanted organ.

Not to mention issue of patient being weakened by, say, organ failure, to even survive such procedure.
In this economy go for the one where you get paid more. Just my opinion.

I think the worst thing that can happen is my situation which is that I’m in an okay job which I am thankful to have rn but I feel like I’m stagnating and not earning as much I should but at the same time not many jobs for what I’m interested in.
I don't think or care about any of this. But my anecdotal evidence of seeing my elderly family members requiring a lot less help to clean their phones from unwanted spamware/adware that is crippling the device performance has gone down noticeably since the move from Android to iPhone. And I care a lot about that. All that power of Android is great for the Hacker News crowd, not so great for regular people who might not be very tech savvy.
This is why 2FA is so so important.

Nothing stops you from doing that if you work from home, so while the trip might be a benefit to you, it is entirely orthogonal from whether you work from home or an office.

On the contrary, not being forced into the office let's you choose your journeys.
Calhoun was brought in to fix the 737 Max mess. But he's another Jack Welch mentee. If you believe the GE disease and Six Sigma are part of the problem, then yeah he's got to go.
If you had read the article, you would know it makes this point exactly. Ellis officials merely had lists (written at the port of embarkation) they checked off and the name changes later blamed on them were actually conducted by the immigrants after arriving (or when they bought their ticket in the home country).

TOC has its applications and is simple in principle to operate, but the focus on global bottleneck constraints leads to sub-optimal behavior when the bottlenecks stall or fill queues. A big problem is once you are clogging the bottleneck, upstream queues become progressively more clogged as well and restarts are a mess. Local queue constraints on pull systems (kanban is an example) give quicker constraint signals and smoother queue restarts. Reinerstsen's "Principles of Product Development Flow" has some great discussion of this
We, as an industry, need to create an institution that lobbies for fair laws on the handling of computer crimes as well as creates public awareness campaigns that help people better understand cyber crimes. I'd like to see "Good Samaritan" laws for cyber crime.

This kind of thing is what enables cyber crime.

I personally find lots of bugs with APIs, since my job involves dealing with so many of them. I basically don't report them for fear of prosecution. There's already a fear in the back of my mind when I'm trying to work around such bugs that someone will come after me, but at least I have some plausible deniability to say, "I just wrote shitty software." Whereas, if I report a bug, that means I knew about it and admit to "probing" it to elicit more information.

I literally spent 4 hours this morning working around a vendor API bug.
What you’re noticing is a sort of active “commodity fetish” with this AI stuff.

Just like NFTs only bigger. Just like 80’s era diet pills. Or 90’s era whatevers.

It’s a facet of capitalism to drive consumption and move to profit as quickly as possible. I think we are still in the “gauge and gamble” phase, but eventually in a season or to we will see it hit and bilk the general public.

We all know “AI” has been a “thing” since ML or Soundex or PID loops, or small models, etc.

It’s just “finally” hit a downhill allowing some momentum to build.
Yeah. It's well known as a really shitty law, which should never have been passed. But here we are. Maybe until 2050 they fix it or so.
I am often jealous of the people who make huge sums of money grifting investors, but the thing is I care too much about what I do and I’d be bad at pretending I don’t.

The flip side is I instead love what I do and I’m very proud of my work, which I don’t think someone could really say if they’re shilling crap like plastic toys and NFTs. Or maybe they could say that, but I never could. Grifting is just not for me.

It's also worth noting that names weren't as fixed in the past as we think of them now. Just as English words didn't have consistent spellings until at least the 1600s and often later, names didn't either (meaning a son spelled his last name differently from how his father spelled it). It was also common to change your name completely after moving to a new country. One example is the many French immigrants to England during the Huguenot persecution of the 1500s that changed their French surnames into English translations of those names.

I am not as familiar with 19th and early 20th C immigration to the US, but I would imagine some of those factors were still true then as well (both creating new names and changing spelling of existing names, the latter certainly influenced by the double-digit illiteracy rates of foreign-born residents in the US up until at least the 1940s).

As for names changing in the actual process of immigration, I've worked recently with a number of refugees and seen the challenge of registering a name in the US that is written in a different character set (eg Arabic or Chinese). These names are recorded as a transliteration into the English alphabet, which is then the person's legal name in the US forever. So that definitely still happens quite a bit.
Self-hosting doesn’t necessarily imply that it’s on-premises, or that you own the hardware. It means that you are fully managing the software side of things (everything that is “on the host”) and have full control over that.
Bad analogy. If your house is on fire, there is no opportunity cost to putting it out and there is no uncertainty. You have nothing to lose. If an asteroid was headed for earth you would be on the money, but climate change isn’t like that.

It is a relatively gradual change with a lot of uncertainty about the final magnitudes of warming and the actual risk involved. Bad policy to reduce emissions have opportunity costs. E.g. biofuels policy exacerbating starvation in the 3rd world. Read Bjorn Lomborg, he suggests the best policies as well as other problems we should prioritise above climate change. Then read Judith Curry to better understand the risks involved.

It’s not black and white and choosing solutions is hard but random countries turning off their fossil fuels is not an effective policy.

From what I've heard, Japan has very different corporate culture, more focused on loyalty and social stability, than on maximizing profit. They can even keep unprofitable divisions of the company, because they don't want to fire people who work in them.

Would be nice if someone with first-hand knowledge of Japanese corporate world could confirm/deny it.

There are a ton of challenges to better oncology treatments. First, as many have noted, cancer is a constellation of diseases. Often a single tumor will contain multiple different, but related groups of cells. So most treatments will only work for a subset of cancers, and then only until the cancer evolves to be resistant. So any advance, will be necessarily “modest”, the reality of the situation is that there will never be a silver bullet. The closest we’ve come is immunotherapies, the class of treatment described in the article. These are a legitimately incredible advance, completely curing many people without the side effects of chemo. That said, theyre limited because cancer can evolve to defeat the immune response, and occasionally the immune system either under or over-reacts.

Also if you think there’s no sense of urgency, you haven’t talked to anyone actually in the field. Do you really think oncologists (pediatric oncologists!) aren't eager to cure their patients?
Fossil fuels will need to be left in the ground [1] [2], it's as simple as that. The value of those reserves and assets on books, if not naturally declining to zero, must be forced to zero. If nations or corporations act self interested and don't leave them in the ground [3], what do you expect to be done as the world burns? Nothing? That's not an option.

[1] https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/climate-majority-of-fossil-f... ("The vast majority of the world’s known fossil fuel reserves must be kept in the ground to have even a 50% chance of keeping global temperatures from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.")

[2] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03821-8 ("Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement pledged to limit global warming to well below 2 °C and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C relative to pre-industrial times1. However, fossil fuels continue to dominate the global energy system and a sharp decline in their use must be realized to keep the temperature increase below 1.5 °C (refs. 2,3,4,5,6,7). Here we use a global energy systems model8 to assess the amount of fossil fuels that would need to be left in the ground, regionally and globally, to allow for a 50 per cent probability of limiting warming to 1.5 °C. By 2050, we find that nearly 60 per cent of oil and fossil methane gas, and 90 per cent of coal must remain unextracted to keep within a 1.5 °C carbon budget. This is a large increase in the unextractable estimates for a 2 °C carbon budget9, particularly for oil, for which an additional 25 per cent of reserves must remain unextracted. Furthermore, we estimate that oil and gas production must decline globally by 3 per cent each year until 2050. This implies that most regions must reach peak production now or during the next decade, rendering many operational and planned fossil fuel projects unviable. We probably present an underestimate of the production changes required, because a greater than 50 per cent probability of limiting warming to 1.5 °C requires more carbon to stay in the ground and because of uncertainties around the timely deployment of negative emission technologies at scale.")

Freezing is often worse than non-frozen but is actually fine for preserving freshness of fish. But actually putting a whole fish in an ice-block - I don't think anyone does that.
I don't live in the US but as far as I'm aware they shot a guy who tried to set fire to a bunch of empty ICE vans so direct action against institutions you don't like doesn't seem to be a winning strategy if you're not enough people to stage an armed insurrection.

I'm interested if this really is your approach for "being the change you want in the world" though. When you think something could be improved somewhat do you play out an elaborate cargo cult interpretation of what you think would work better despite having no resource or professional qualification to pull it off? How has that been going for you?

It's not like there aren't any organisations you could get involved with to advocate for reforms to the US legal system. You don't even have to go whole hog and try to start at the top, a lot of the underlying structures are cultural. If you're a parent, trying to treat your child as a dependent human rather than an inferior (i.e. care, not control) would be a start to building a healthier society where carcareal punishment doesn't feel like the obvious solution to societal problems.

But if making assumptions about strangers and mocking them for saying things could be improved somewhat is what makes your life more bearable, nothing I can say or do will change that. I hope you find what you are missing.
wow, he is an amazingly compelling and articulate writer. definitely gives me a bit of an eerie feeling, of course, because he seems like a very meticulous person and perpetrated a heinous crime in a most meticulous fashion... but... it is very hard to completely discount the idea that he has learned something from prison in a way that makes him redeemable, though i'm a bit of a softie-- him bending over backward to commend people on their work in a way he clearly didn't do at the time... that is very hard for a prideful person to do without at least some little bit of subtext... and i just didn't pick up on anything like that. the only subtext would essentially be that he is so clever that he knows the only way for him to get his roses is to genuflect. so i guess this whole thing is kind of a litmus test on how you view human nature... but it was an incredible read, at the very least.
I have an n of 1, maybe approximating 2-4 with the anecdotes I've picked up from colleagues over the years, so I can't speak broadly to the law school market. I will say that I went to a state school of moderate rank (certainly not a glorious one) with the express goals of (1) spend as little as possible on (2) a fully reputable degree and (3) rank in the top 10 of my class. Despite the best efforts of the legislature of the state in question, I managed to get out of law school spending less on 3 years than top tier schools charge for 1 year.

The only other things I would say are that the first semester is the most important in determining how you feed into the job market (assuming a traditional summer associate track) and the third year ... shouldn't exist. I would also have a concrete idea of what you want to accomplish (mine: combine the principles of software development with business experience and a risk management mindset to help companies find the best chance of success with their projects -- I have done everything from massively automating legal processes using developer tools to IP to privacy to infosec to dispute resolution .. it's been great). Just saying "I want to do transactions" or "I want to focus on international law or nonprofits" (admirable but cliche and absolutely not financially viable) is not enough. This isn't meant to criticize what you said about civil litigation at all--it's one part of a 4-line reply and not a personal statement--but what can YOU bring to the interests you want to serve?

Oh, and the Bar Exam isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I wouldn't do it recreationally, but I've done project justification meetings with leadership that were more taxing.

The core of the .NET runtime is cross-platform.

You do have the option to use platform-specific APIs or frameworks, which will make your app only work on that platform.

In the case of this app, it doesn't use anything platform-specific, so it could run on Windows, Linux and macOS.
There is a piece of software called FPS Creator which I used when I was much younger to make 3d shooter levels, and it does not require coding. You can drag and drop assets, and there is existing scripted behaviour for enemies and doors, etc.

I see that company still makes modern equivalents https://www.thegamecreators.com/

But my general recommendation is to maybe start with something which is more of a 3d sandbox and level editor. That gets you the 80/20 value.
If this technology is actually worth $10k, there should be a demonstration of an actually valuable cooking process with it. This contrived demo makes it feel less valuable than it might be (I don't really know if it's actually valuable...)
Indeed it was per dose, and IIRC the figure was over £5000. It wasn’t intended to be public knowledge, I don’t think the patient was supposed to be shown it. The various supporting chemos ranged from below £100 to about £250/dose IIRC.

I mention it because in the UK people don’t really understand that drugs can be really expensive. The assumption is that due to the scale of the NHS they’re heavily discounted or even free, and that the high prices mentioned by US folk is due to the unusual healthcare situation there.

But there’s real money being paid by taxes, as well as procedures that determine whether you’re worth the expenditure.
Bitcoin is an application which is backed by a digital ledger. They didn't say blockchain is not valuable, just that Bitcoin is not a valuable application of blockchain. (Not trying to agree or disagree on the point, just clarifying.)
I'm not gonna downvote you. But to your point about the hardware market, a mid range server CPU of today will be about as fast as an entry model CPU next year. Actual performance wise, your old server can probably keep up with a newer but slightly lower end server just fine. Obsolete !== useless.

I'm the kind of person who would rather take the 3y server and recomission it as a lower priority service than just do a 1:1 replacement. "Old" computers aren't as useless as they used to be. Computing power has advanced to the point where computation is arbitrary. For all intents, in most sectors, you can scale your compute capacity as high as your budget allows and you won't hit any performance barriers ever. There will always be more compute. It is a commodity now.

My stance is this; sure the new server is faster than the old one, but you know what's even faster? Dividing the existing workload between both of them.

I don't have a particular need of nanosecond granularity timestamps for WebGPU- there are other parts of the web stack where I could really use better time measurement- but I understand the security concern and it's far better to be safe than sorry.

But they quote two wildly different granularities in the same article, within a paragraph of each other...

After moving to the UK, it has been my policy to pretend to see nothing.

During my first week in university, I found a vulnerability in two of their servers allowing me to execute arbitrary code/commands + escalate to root due to a very outdated kernel.

I reported this to a lecturer and was immediately told that what I did was illegal and not to poke at any of their services. Last I checked, it still hasn’t been fixed.
My generally bright 3-year-old son has a physical defect that will make life harder for him, and that is reparable by now-common-enough surgery, the sooner the better, but requires general anesthesia.

"Is this worth the risks of general anesthesia" has a different balance for me after reading your story. Intellectually, I know there's risk for any sort of anesthesia, but you've given me some harsh emotional reality.

I'm sorry that this happened to you and your son.
I suspect that is completely false at this point but somebody else hopefully can provide some evidence.

> combustion emissions [from] petroleum extraction are such a significant and particularly characteristic consequence of such projects that they must clearly be considered indirect climate impacts within the meaning of the (EU) Project Directive

It didn't seem particular to the locations. Under this ruling, if the oil gets shipped to India and burned there they would now need to include it in the local impact assessment.

Maybe they just need to resubmit with a new impact assessment? But it does seem like the precedent they are trying to set is to reject all projects based on emissions.
