Maybe, maybe not? This is hard to find via search, possibly due to graduate being inside the search term undergraduate. :)

This shows the average total owed by graduate students is much higher than undergraduates, about 3x.
https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/student-loans/avera...
So just spitballing here, if there are more than 3x undergraduates than graduate students, and the same number have loans, the undergraduate debt is higher overall.

But then there's this showing the median being closer to only 2x different

The long rise of for profit undergraduate institutions until quite recently says it was extremely profitable to get students into debt for questionable education value, it's almost like payday loan shops, just preying on different segment of population.

I don't think traditional public or private four year universities are blameless, either, raising tuition to match this endlessly rising loans guaranteed by Federal government with spiraling administrative system costs.

Even though the cost is high I thought in the USA the number of med school students is restricted to a very small number.
And none of the competitors can make this technology profitable, either.
Yeah I have to agree. It’s funny Next.js is so convincingly sold to beginner devs as an easier solution than SPA + any backend.

When it works, it really is easy. But when it doesn’t work, it is absolutely infuriating. Too much magic going on, I guess.

A couple months ago, I was still under the impression that next.js is the easiest way to scaffold a simple site. I even tried hosting it on vercel for ultra-easy mode.

I got some inscrutable build errors that had like the thumbs-ups on an unresolved GitHub issue. So I tried running it from a VPS I already had, and it worked fine!

I would absolutely not use it again though. Vite is great, and if I need SSR at any point I’ll just hope that the tanstack SSR solution is 1.0 by then lol

You could do a phased transition, where both the legacy posix api and the new api are available. This has already happened with a lot of the old C standard library. Old, unsafe functions like strcpy were gradually replaced by safer alternatives like strncpy.

Database developers don’t want the complexity or poor performance of posix. It’s wild to me that we still don’t have any alternative to fsync in Linux that can act as a barrier without also flushing caches at the same time.
The difference is that you have a single file to audit with npm. With Deno, any file in your codebase might pull in a dependency.
I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but I remember people being incensed at next.js’s overly-aggressive caching. Might want to google for those GitHub issues and see if it’s still relevant.

The key, IMO, is having awareness about when you don’t quite understand something, because that means you can’t reason about the code to prove it correct to yourself in your head. And then, avoid shipping code in such a state at (almost) all cost. This awareness can be trained, and I suspect that the author’s virtually-bug-free shipping record is based on that. My personal experience is that bugs are nearly always caused by code where I ignored my inner uncertainty about the code.

Engineers notoriously don't buy things (at least not when they're acting as engineers).
Ok genuine question, since I feel like I’m using logs wrong:

How much stuff do you log in the server? I’ve only ever seen devs log basic high-level stuff. But to actually debug something, you need way more information.

I’ve tried sticking debug-level logs that log all sorts of business logic. Pretty much recreating what you would do with console.log when trying to isolate an issue locally.

But then you have your code permanently littered with debug log lines! It makes things… ugly!!

If you NEED detailed logging, do you just deal with the uglified code? Or is there a better solution? Decorators that logs parameters and such automatically??
Yes it’s ws using lambda, the worker-starter example shows how it works

Also abstracts away the idea of an eventbus which is pretty critical in any Websocket deployment.

It doesn’t use Websocket directly via Vercel, but would work if you use nextjs by providing it a http server and also providing that server to ws

Can get this to work, but I’m pretty curious why you think this is a game changer? Thanks!

Fill-in-the-middle. If your cursor is in the middle of a file instead of at the end, then the LLM will consider text after the cursor in addition to the text before the cursor. Some LLMs can only look before the cursor; for coding,.ones that can FIM work better (for me at least).
The cool thing is you’ve got the rest of your career to benefit from what you just learned :)
FIM is "fill in middle", i.e. completion in a text editor using context on both sides of the cursor.

Blender's deeply extensible and largely written in Python, but it also has full blown visual node programming language for procedurally modifying and generating textures, shaders, 3d geometry and meshes and parametric objects, etc!

Actually Blender has an abstract base "Node" set of Python classes and user interfaces that you can subclass and tailor for different domains, to create all kinds of different domain of application specific visual programming languages.

So visually programming 2d video filters, GPU shaders, 3D geometry, animations, constraints, state machines, simulations, procedural city generators, etc, and each can have their own compilation/execution model, tailored user interface, node libraries, and connection types. Geometry nodes have the visual programming language equivalent of lambdas, functions you can pass to other functions that parameterize and apply them repeatedly, iterating over 3d geometry, texture pixels, etc.

Blender extensions can add nodes to the existing languages and even define their own new visual programming languages. So you can use a bunch of integrated tightly focused domain specific visual programming languages together, instead of trying to use one giant general purpose but huge incoherent "uber" language (cough cough Max/MSP/Jitter cough).

Several US states now require age verification for adult content (I don't know how that is defined). A case challenging such laws is being considered by the US Supreme Court, but most experts believe the court will allow the age verification.

That may mean users identifying themselves, which seems dangerous. (It should not at all be dangerous, but it is.) All you need is some phobic government official to sue or investigate you, for any reason they can come up with, and demand all your records as part of their lawsuit/investigation.

Perhaps there's a way to do age verification while minimizing privacy risks? For example, verify their age, give them their credentials, then delete the PII? I don't know if that would suffice if your age verification practices were challenged.

(Talk to an expert.)
I can absolutely see your point that Israelis in the past did unethical things to make their state happen. And many Israelis do unethical things still, or abuse the power of their state to disproportionally react to attacks.

But my point is-- this is completely unhelpful and almost irrelevant for conflict resolution now. Because what are you gonna do? Throw all the Israelis back to Europe or wherever their ancestors used to live at some point? Give all the military power to Palestinians and just... find out what happens?

It's also important to note that pretty much every modern nation has figurative ethical skeletons ins its closet, and frequently in the rather recent past-- would you sanction/break up the US for segregation (or, worse, their past with native americans)? White South Africans for apartheid? France for colonialism/Vietnam? I'm just saying that it is very difficult to deal with historical injustice consistently...

If you got to call the shots, what would you do with todays Israel?

Sentient AI: The Risks and Ethical Implications
> There isn't any necessity to have to figure out what you truly want out of life or what your passions are.

I most certainly don't have life figured out and I'm not particularly passionate about much but I do know as a 54 year old, I'm on the downward side of this mountain and there's so many things that are interesting to me. I'd love nothing more than to be a full time dilettante, living my life quarter-by-quarter, exploring a new topic every 3 months.

I guess what I'm really wondering is how some people with more money than they will ever need don't wake up in the morning excited to work on some topic they find interesting. A certain portion are just depressed or dealing with some other mental illness, but isn't the typical person interested in lots of stuff that they don't pursue due to life getting in the way?
I have an off the shelf ebike (rad expand 5). I'd say that their stock breaks on this model are woefully under powered. I swapped them with hydraulics within the first year.

Ebikes are generally pretty heavy, even i this case where you are converting an old bike, that aluminum box of batteries is going to add a ton of weight.. and given that there are many older bikes with caliper breaks out there... that's pretty scary. At least the expand ships with disk breaks (still not up to the task but a caliper break would be totally ineffective).
Absolutely. The idea of being open source with a permissive license is that we're encouraging anyone to do whatever fits their use case.

You can replace anything, deploy on your own server, port it to other stacks... whatever brings value to you.

While technically the library could continue supporting custom SSML, I ended up removing it because keeping the support was pointless. The API stopped allowing anything other than the basic tags used by Microsoft Edge itself (i.e., prosody for rate/volume/pitch, voice, etc).

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Developers could decide by passing flags to open.

But even then, doing atomic writes of multi gigabyte files doesn’t sound that hard to implement efficiently. Just write to disk first and update the metadata atomically at the end. Or whenever you choose to as a programmer.

The downside is that, when overwriting, you’ll need enough free space to store both the old and new versions of your data. But I think that’s usually a good trade off.

It would allow all sorts of useful programs to be written easily - like an atomic mode for apt, where packages either get installed or not installed. But they can’t be half installed.

All the porn companies have handled this by simply blocking the sites in the states in question, just forcing people to use VPNs. If you ask for ID verification to see NSFW content they know hardly anyone would provide it, and at the same time it opens you up to a lot of liability in handling extremely sensitive PII.

The whole thing is just moralistic BS anyway. I'm sure most kids can figure out how to use a VPN better than adults.

I think it's pretty clear what "the flamewar style" means to anyone who's been around internet forums for a little while, but if you want a definition, it could be somewhere in the neighborhood of: conversation that's focused on aggressive/snarky/indignant expression for the purpose of venting and/or defeating opponents, as opposed to curious, respectful conversation for the purpose of learning from each other. These two are mutually exclusive, and on this site we want the latter, not the former. Your GP comment was the former, as for that matter was your reply to me here.

Enterprise has many departments. Figure out who the decision maker is, though likely the CFO is in your case, and who he needs to ask for input. There might be a security review you have to pass, your company might need to be added to a vendor database (questionnaires, tax ids), legal review.

Make up your mind on payment terms. They probably want to pay by invoice (bank transfer), not credit card. 30 days, 60 days? Custom termination period? Do they have a standard supplier contract you can review?

The question of company age, stability and number of employees might come up. Have answers prepared. I'd stay with the truth though, maybe claim you have contractors on stand-by. Once we had to submit all our code to a code escrow service (they burned our github repository to a CD-ROM) "in case of bankruptcy". Made sense, they paid for it.
