Been hearing this for over a decade, except back then it was eGPU in Intel Macs which were closer to other PCs if anything. Even if this didn't require so much DIY and if Thunderbolt could do PCIe speeds, most people don't want to

Java is different. Tomcat's thread pool is the older way. A lot of newer stuff was using something promises-related instead with an event loop. But then recently Java added virtual threads which should obviate the need for that, simila

I believe it's fine when you're tuning it. Nowadays people are more likely to have multiple services waiting on each other to handle a user request, each running in containers on random hardware. Even if it's "monolithic

That's good to hear. When I was troubleshooting this, I kept seeing forum posts screaming about how they're sticking to X11 cause Wayland is bad. Uh, idk idc, ship has sailed already.

Most colleges today will consider phone use during a test cheating, then it depends on the school but at least a 0 on the test is likely. I've had some professors say upfront that they'll go further and wreck cheaters as much as t

Right, there's yet another group that didn't respond to the survey. But just among those who did, there are more than two groups.

I don't really know enough about life in other countries to say anything about their culture, I just know not to trust international students so much here in the US. At the very least they tend to have wack incentives. Immigrants, diff

They do it for big standardized tests like the MCAT. If I went to school and saw this for every exam, I'd think wow I'm in a bad school, not that there's anything wrong with it per se but it's not commonly done.

In this case yes. In general, the point of an honor system is supposed to be honor. It's great when it works, but unfortunately it's not working at Princeton.

Those two categories don't include everyone. 44.6% saw a violation and didn't report. 0.4% saw a violation and did report. That doesn't include people who didn't see a violation. Did I misread something?

I agree about the cynicism thing, I like the idea of an honor code if/when it actually works, but the bad reaction here is because 1/3 of students admitted to cheating.

Could just be that about half of them never saw violations

"if you get caught not paying it can affect your ability to rent housing etc" What's a realistic outcome for someone who gets caught, they have to pay more for housing or they become homeless?

Usually the rule is you can't have a phone out of your pocket or backpack during a test. Students still have phones on them. If they disallowed that too, how would that work, an airport security style check going in?

It's interesting that people can anonymously admit to cheating. It's a way of saying "don't hate the player, hate the game."

That's kind of a large number. Honor system is a solidarity thing. There can be 0% cheating cause nobody wants to be that person, but if 5% come in and egregiously cheat anyway, it can poison more. Most people don't want to cheat,

That's not really the assumption they were making. It used to be that going to an elite university was good enough without also having top grades. Now there's more pressure, and cheating is way easier than before. In a similar vei

Nah, it's just that I went to college and saw cheating. When an assignment was take-home, people were forming cheating rings, but because they wanted an upper hand but because they were afraid others were doing the same. I saw even som

I honestly think it's that. I've seen it before at other private schools, where someone is caught cheating and let off with very minor consequences. Private high schools were hiding it from colleges too.

I've heard that it's the same at <other elite private university I don't want to name>, and people cheat, to the point where non-cheaters are suspicious that it's just a method of grade inflation

??? This entire thread is unrelated. Princeton realized AI makes cheating too easy, that's it. Not every topic needs to be about Donald Trump.

I hope this is right, because "you have to use AMD GPU" is not what people want to hear when building a PC.

I don't mind playing whatever games my Mac will play, but it does feel like Apple has an entire org full-time making sure games don't work on Mac.

Linux Mint uses X11 for some reason. I was getting black screen after sleep because of that. Nuked it and installed Ubuntu, worked fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HealthCare.gov was not a hard problem and they struggled. Gmail tackles a hard problem that even other large tech companies struggle with.

Er yeah technically the event loop isn't part of Rust, just the async/await syntax. But it's implied that you're going to use some event loop with it.
