>[Gorsuch] noted that the two cases pending at the Supreme Court — both of which concern a commercial fishing rule that requires fishermen to pay for regulatory monitors on their boats — led to disparate findings of ambiguity in the lower courts despite a relatively basic question.

It seems pretty reasonable to enforce meaningful laws rather than fall back to "federal agencies can just decide what this law means." Especially when "ambiguity" itself becomes ambiguous.
Yeah, but couldn't some system be built that understands what the differnt code snippets do by compiling them or whatever?

Nice! Is there a commented source code?
I worked a STEM job near a campus we got interns from. It was $26/hr, which at the time was more than we paid contractors for the same work, and possibly more than some entry level direct hires. They could work around school as much as they wanted, we had people there 24x7, so they could set their own hours… as little or as much as they wanted. It was just a few miles from campus, so they already had housing. And with all that, our biggest issue was them deciding to stop showing up after a while. It blew my mind how many of them just stopped coming to work.

> vast majority of STEM jobs do not pushing ads to people., only FAANGS and such which are a minority of the total STEM jobs

A majority of STEM jobs fall under a category with "computer" or "software" in it [1]. Unless a majority of those are in adtech, you are correct.

Programming and related careers have to have the lowest entry as well. I know a lot more people who made the switch from other tertiary educated disciplines to IT than the other way around.

And there's no way the state will employ me to model and plan their dikes with my Cs degree.

> And if they changed the dataset to include a plurality of additional books which happen to not be about Vietnam, I don't think that changes the analysis substantially.

I think the question is if it changes analysis if the dataset DOES include a bunch of books and articles related to Vietnam beyond your specific book.

In the first cast where it just rewriting a single books content, the unfairness is clear.

But in case where it is producing a new synthesis and analysis of the data, derived in part, but not regurgitating the source material, is that unfair?

The latter isn't clear to me.
You don't even have to finish school to out earn non-tech STEM workers.
Japanese does have two different words for seven though. なな for everything that is not related to telling time, and しち when you're referring to units of time.

But this is a welcome trade for the regularity and simplicity of the rest of the number system. Although the flexibility available in European languages as described elsewhere in this thread does allow for texturizing things in a poetic or evocative way. being able to get two or three jobs done with one set of words is sometimes nice even if it does make things complicated when all you want is the most common usage of those words.
I don't think you have a point, the original poster was talking about individual indiscretions (20 years ago also) vs wholesale scraping of billions of people's copyrighted work for corporate gain, today.

I've read this and think it makes a ton of sense. I still think it's lacking an ecosystem strategy that would propel it further.

I would like be able to install an HTMX component, customize the route, and have some type of lifecycle where I can plug it into the rest of my backend. I know this might seem silly but being able to easily share what you've built has been a cornerstone of every widely successful library or framework.

It may not be a core goal of HTMX, but if not I'd really like to see someone attempt it to at least judge it on its merits instead of assuming it wouldn't be a useful addition.

If I can cargo install an HTMX component that covers all the rendering conditions and I just need to pipe data in and out of it, I'd very much like to try that. I can rig it up in my own codebase but it's not something one would probably publish without a suggested pattern to follow.
BeFS wasn't really a database as we'd normally understand it. It had no transactions, for one. It only understood string and numbers as datatypes as well.

It had what was basically a normal UNIX filing system, complete with /dev, /etc and so on, and it had support for indexing extended attributes. Your app was expected to create an index with a specific API at install time, and then after that writes to the indexed xattr would update a special "index directory". The OS could be given a simple query predicate with range and glob matching, and it would answer using the indexes, including a live query.

This was neat, but you could implement the same feature in Linux pretty easily. Nobody ever has, probably because xattrs historically didn't work that well. They don't get transmitted via common network protocols and have a history of getting lost when archiving, although I think these days every archive format in real use supports storing them.

There's also the question of how it interacts with POSIX file permissions. BeOS was an aggressively single user system so just didn't care. On Linux you'd need to think about how files that you can't read are treated in the indexing process.

Multiple devices also poses problems. BeOS simply required that apps create an index on a specific device themselves. If you plugged in a USB drive then files there just wouldn't show up in search unless the files had been created by not only BeOS, but an app you had previously installed. Note that installing an app post-hoc didn't work because creating an index didn't populate it with existing files, even if they had the right xattrs.

And of course it only worked with files. If you had content where the user's conception of a thing didn't map 1:1 to files, it was useless. For example you couldn't index elements within a document this way. Spotlight can index app states and screens, which also obviously BeOS couldn't do.

So there were a lot of limitations to this.

The modern equivalent would be writing a search plugin:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corespotlight/maki...

The API is more complex but lets you create search results that aren't directly tied to specific filing systems.

So you're making a true point, but a useless one, since you're operating on the wrong level of abstraction.

Can you please clarify this cryptic comment? The OP just used a common variation of asterisk, and I am really confused what your beef with it is.

People who fly light airplanes for commuting are not doing it to save on housing cost (homes in Cameron Park go for pretty close to what homes are going for on the outskirts of the Bay Area, think Gilroy or Livermore). And they are not doing it to save on airfare or transportation costs. Your cost per mile from somewhere like that to the Bay Area is going to be much greater than a typical car commute from East Bay. Airplane ownership typically measures cost per hour, and includes very large annual inspection and maintenance costs.

You also would need to be instrument rated and remain current if you're planning on commuting every day rain or shine. A pretty significant investment.

A burning question in my mind: how does one get motivated to work on something that they'll probably not even live to see come to fruition/failure? Personally, I wouldn't be, unless if there was some pay involved.

Dealing with climate change is like this. Humans, I think are basically unable to align behind initiatives that do not affect us immediately.

I am a parent. I would like to set up my child for success. But being brutally honest, it's hard for me to even think of what going "above and beyond" means in this respect. I would do everything a normal good parent would do. But then what?

Nobody is paying people to use less plastic or stop polluting etc. So few are incentivized to do anything above and beyond the normal. Superficial things like not using plastic - sure no problem. Keeping a 5 year old phone or wearing worn out shoes - I'll have trouble with these.
Sure, they don't prosecute, they just threaten you into a settlement. Is that any better?
Conservative leaders are very likely to only cynically perform their supposed values. For money.

People that authentically hold conservative values work differently. I suspect that the lower divorce rate among this cohort has a lot to do with another statistic: that 65-70% of divorces are initiated by women. Conservative values would seem to inhibit a woman from initiating divorce, resulting in a lower rate.

also: this article is poorly thought out junk top to bottom, imo.

I can't speak to the international community at large, but at least in Canada, post-secondary education is not a stream for prospective employees to undergo training. It is a product which is marketed and sold for profit.

They will enroll as many people as they can convince to apply(rate limited by how quickly they can expand infrastructure and enrollment).

I remember 10 or so years ago when I was in school, if I wanted to get a real challenge when preparing for a test, I could just go back to look at exams from 10 years prior and things would be noticeably more difficult. I can't imagine things have improved significantly since then, and more likely they've gotten worse.

Over the last decade, individual indiscretions have not been punished. Wholesale scraping is being punished. Some lawsuits do challenge the hypothesis that corporates' copyright violations are being treated more leniently than individuals'.

Israel completely withdrew from Gaza. This inability to deal with the basic facts of the situation is amazing to me. Are you seriously arguing that Israel didn't withdraw? here, watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueN-wntJqNE

After it withdrew and Hamas took over and started firing rockets, after that, Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade. This is not hard, this is not confusing.

"here is the cost to Israel. You cannot commit and justify atrocities"

They are not committing atrocities. What you call atrocities is the inevitable tragedy of war. Yes, war is bad, it's bad for everyone, including Israel

But what's the alternative? Leave Hamas in power? that is not a possible alternative, that's been tried for 17 years, it has failed.

There was a car dealer (Honda affiliate) I had the unfortunate "pleasure" of dealing with back in the mid-late 2000s that stored finance applications by numeric incrementing ids. I never did report it, but I was able to pull up a bunch of sensitive info (SSN, DOB, names, addresses) on folks living in NJ. (I didn't report it because bug bounties weren't really a thing back then and the CFAA was).

I managed to get my application removed, but the vulnerability existed for several years until they updated to a new system. The new system also appeared to have some vulnerabilities, but I never invested time to figure it out. I just did not do business with that dealer ever again, and I'm super wary about car dealerships and finance applications these days...I usually get my financing from elsewhere even if it means a bit higher of a payment...thankfully my vehicle is paid off.

Objectively, yes. Paying a settlement in private is better than being publicly prosecuted and then put in jail.

That said, it's still no cakewalk. Do you have a source for individuals settling copyright claims? I'm not finding any recent stories nor surveys.

That's a positive effect of having education close to industry. Unfortunately the costs and requirements to get into those schools is now so significant that few can do it. High cost of living = parents have to pay. There isn't the "self funded" student in those circumstances.

Responsible and reasonable individuals are not interested in giving up 5 years of their life and accruing high interest debt for the chance at a job. This may explain why many higher education students stopped going to work.

The people you actually want to hire likely are working other jobs to afford to stay in school.

For those that don't click through, the announcements is more of a preview, and has limited scope (only supports a subset of the commands and only support Python and Node). It's entirely open-source with a liberal license and you can find the source here: https://github.com/aws/glide-for-redis/.

The main innovation that makes it interesting is that it uses a common rust core, built on top of redis-rs, to implement the heavy lifting of cluster topology and connection management. This code is much harder to implement correctly compared to the RESP protocol for simple commands. Higher level language wrappers interact with this core over a protobuf based protocol.

The design is flexible, in the future it could support alternative backends (like memcached) and should be easily extensible for for new languages. I know the team is looking for folks interested in contributing.

This may be true, but does that mean they didn't benefit from a STEM education, either because of the skills they learned, or the signaling value? I used to be a lawyer, and it was generally accepted that a student who had a STEM major would be given more leniency on GPA than other students. This was because of the perceived rigor of STEM disciplines. Applicants who were looking to work in patent law would get a boost since they would presumably know some things relevant patent cases they would be assigned to, and I don't know if this article would consider 'patent litigator' to be a STEM job.

I do think that the STEM push has been a bit overdone at times, but we should still consider that people who majored in STEM may still have benefited from their degrees because it allowed them to stand out, and to learn things that are useful in some jobs that may not be considered 'STEM jobs'.
No, I meant which mechanical engineers are, to quote you, "driving and sustaining user engagement in online services of some kind"? Those guys are also STEM grads/workers.
