What about the cost of the time you would put into the class? Surely that brings the total effective cost of the course to far more than $115, to acquire a skill you're unlikely to gain much from (unless you want to learn it for its ow

It might even be a nice way to get "standing" so you can qualify to sue the government on these issues. (IANAL, but in the past I've seen "standing" being an issue that disqualifies lawsuits, and people doing stunts

I would suggest running Linux in a virtual machine. A decent choice would be the combination of Ubuntu running under VirtualBox (a free VM). Here's a random guide I found online (I'm not vouching for its veracity): http:/&#x

That's only true in the absence of other signals . If you look at it as instead a problem of "how do I convince X that I am the person they're looking for?", you can consider all possible strategies, and additional sign

It seems that most Indians who are knowledgeable and well-educated got that way despite the educational system, not because of it. Sure, a tiny proportion of elite students have access to high-quality education, but everyone else seems to

The problem is that control of the company could be transferred to other actors, in which case the original founders' "intent" becomes irrelevant. So the best thing to do is to encode the intended terms explicitly in the cont

Why not? As far as I can tell, it'd be feasible to write a FUSE adapter that uses Thrift to talk to the Tachyon servers.

Actually, any language with a Thrift binding can talk to Tachyon: https://github.com/amplab/tachyon/blob/master/src/thrift/tac...

Yeah, it seems to me that if you consider it irrelevant to your qualifications for your job, you should just omit it from your resume. There's a formal "job application" form that you'll have to fill out where they ask you whether they have

Anyone have a link to the actual patch?

Why not? AirPlay is a pretty high-level protocol, and it's got an ARM SoC, so the natural thing for Apple to do would be to use the ARM version of XNU with a minimal userland that has their AirPlay implementation and whatever codecs it need
