There are many pathways to do this without explicit policy. If MIT wanted to show this explicitly they could release a dataset with admission outcomes and parent/relative donation history.

We're primed to find clever second-order effects to justify grinding through unpleasantness. But sometimes things can just be nice: you don't like living with someone, so you don't, so you are happier. > Yes there are exce

Nobody* roams in Scotland. *Well of course people do, just as people hike in the USA. But in both cases it's something the vast majority of people don't do and that's totally fine.

If you hunt around for the debugging working group and related issues there's some interesting reading on exactly that. (I'm on my phone and it's been a while since I looked into this). The issue is that a debugger generally

Wouldn't it be much cheaper and effective to add a random secret to the bit before the at rather than after?

A big part of the fun for me is being completely alone, practicing map reading, and faffing around as I find my own way. So I Google the name of the forest and the phrase "district map" to identify the ranger district(s) I'm

The keyword (primarily for federal land) is MVUM. It stands for Motor Vehicle Use Map. It will be an awkward PDF. Green dotted will indicate trails you can drive on. If you can't pull off all trails to camp little dots will indicate wh

Sure, if the government implements regulation to dissuade non-self-driving car ownership then car ownership will decrease. But that's entirely tangential. If the government decides taking cars away from poor people to reduce accidents

Making all cars more expensive would reduce car ownership. Adding extra expensive cars while keeping constant (or even reducing*) the price of cars at the bottom won't. *if everyone suddenly wants to buy the amazing new self-serving ca

Here's one study that found the highly flawed, partial, and abandoned contact tracing in the UK nevertheless saved around 10,000 lives. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36495-z

It's all solvable, but it isn't trivial (for me). Every little thing requires a bunch of googling, evaluating, and setup. For example, I'd have to decide what kind of network picker I prefer, which isn't a choice I ever

But at a higher, more reasonable limit a tiny change is much less likely to push you over the line. Also remember it's not the size of the dependency that matters it's the size of the portions of the dependency used less any cross

However as a novice I found it unintuitive that on an embedded platform without hardware floats x/y will compile but compiles to a polyfill with quite a few instructions.

I get why refcounting could in theory sometimes have less latency than a highly tuned gc. But I don't see how it could possibly be lower memory. Can you explain?

If your program has to fit in 512 bytes you're probably not pulling in a heap of external libraries?

Maybe my comment wasn't clear. That figure isn't great - we just divided the total amount of freshwater diverted to some kind of use by the population. That even includes letting water flow past hydropower turbines. It's obvi

I only want a handful of "apps" with windows I open. But I also want a little wifi thing in the corner I can click on. I want a spotify thingy in the topbar with the current song title and a pause button. When I hit the volume up

I agree with everything you say (with the assumption the person I replied to has the correct price, which I know nothing about)

That equates to around 4,000 liters per person per day. Freshwater withdrawals is a very broad category, it also includes water released to turn hydropower turbines. But it's also unfair to compare across countries without taking into

But we're talking about increasing the per-gallon cost of everything. So the baked in cost would increase.

It's very easy to forget that we use orders of magnitude more water than comes out of our tap. A pound of beef is about 2,000 gallons, so that would be a nontrivial price increase.

I agree with you. But the C++ community did debate, and ended up deciding to trust him.

What exactly do you mean by counterexample? Assange has had access to UK courts to attempt to challenge his extradition, but he hasn't been successful. He's nearly exhausted all the possible things to appeal.

Your setup sounds great. You might find it interesting that it's also very close to what 1Password does. 1Password apps store local state in an SQLite database. They then package up that database and encrypt it with your chosen master

In general people often understand better and prefer the tool they use often to the tool they occasionally have to use but never thought it worthwhile to study in depth.

yes but the consequences are decided by normal humans via the organization's normal decision-making procedures. The legal system isn't involved.
