Admittedly, there are exceptions, but the general picture is you're overworked, underpaid, and barely hanging on until (and if!) you get tenure. Even after tenure, you need to work hard to be promoted to full professor. In many discipl

If you're a professor or a lecturer, you don't have time to make YouTube videos that are any good. You're too busy writing grant applications, serving on university committees, refereeing papers for free that the publishers a

Others have answered your question about APT but FWIW I don't understand the downvotes. You were respectful and simply sought to clear up a misunderstanding.

This is great but would this neutralize the xz backdoor? The backdoor circumvents authentication, doesn't it?

My guess is that most Linux boxes that run sshd use an LTS distro, not one with rolling release. But I don’t know how to get any data on this.

Might a time-sensitive high-priority goal override such reasoning? For example, the US presidential election is coming up. Making it into Ubuntu LTS could be worth the risk if valuable government targets are running that.

Try something that’s unique to one BSD or another. For example, NetBSD supports Lua for kernel scripting[1] and Veriexec[2] for checking the integrity of executables. [1] https://man.netbsd.org/luactl.8 [2] http:/&#x2

The low operating margin of serving a GPT-4 scale model sounds like a compelling explanation for why Google stayed out of it. But then why did Microsoft put its money behind it? Alphabet's revenue is around $300bn, and Microsoft's

I have no experience with refactoring a Python project. Wouldn’t type hints make it only somewhat more painful than refactoring Rust?

But this is Linux so you can use a different distribution if your current distro is daft like that. Or do you mean that certain programs (like one mentioned by sibling) require the switch to be on?

You can opt in or opt out as you wish. You get to decide whether the added security of only allowing signed kernel modules is the right trade-off for you. Am I missing something here?

Would photos signed in that way need to be immutable or could they be changed? (White balance, contrast, saturation, etc.) If they need to be immutable, isn’t it easier to use ordinary asymmetric cryptography? Given that the Intel Managemen

But yes in comparison to Stata which is its main competitor in the space where I am using it. This does make it possible to write much more modular, legible, and well-tested R code than Stata do files.

That is true. Also Erlang with the actor model, and Go with its goroutines for network services.

Not parent and I also consider R to be a surprisingly solid general purpose PL but the one reason that I can think of is that formulas are part of the language. Formulas are extremely well-suited for data analysis but odd outside of that.
