> No, nuclear war would not be good for humanity. It would cause immense suffering and devastation, and could potentially lead to the extinction of the human race.
I'd expect that if a CS student has a passion for what they do they will try to learn topics beyond the curriculum. Doing the bare minimum has a name: mediocrity. Maybe that is what you are seeing.
Other comments mention that students come unprepared and thus introductory courses need to be more/longer. I think that too is true.
Now everyone wanting to make a communications app (or anything implementing that functionality) is risking an expensive lawsuit on the UK. Meta too, but they have the bucks and influence to weather it.
Also, if you miss a couple of plants while de-tasseling it can be very bad. You must also sign contracts with your neighbors where they will refrain from planting the same crop (in exchange for $). Additionally, to get the best yield they usually place beehives to enhance pollination.
It is whether, for companies that offer paid support for FOSS, the obligations are towards the paying customers or all.
The same with FOSS which is used as a basis for commercial products. E.g. Google makes money off Android, but is AOSP with no Google stuff also covered by this law?
And how does it affect companies providing support for software they do not own? (e.g. consultancies).
If it's China and the government owns that energy and talent then yes. If it is a free country, then the government has no businesses telling us how to best invest our resources and talent.
The resulting algorithm bears similarities to Dijkstra's or A* (i.e. it is a sort of value iteration, see the "fast marching method") but yields a scalar field, whose gradient will give the direction of the optimal path at any point.
Eventually the shortcomings of the package manager will become more evident, but at first it will seem to work and solve some pain points programmer have.
Something similar goes for build systems.
If he used, say Rust, then the target system needs a rust compiler, and furthermore, the language is not even close to being as standardized a C is at the moment, i.e. who knows if in the future you will still be able to compile your program that you write on 2023's dialect?
> you can technically take it cross country
And "technically" anyone could take mass transit, yet he shows that (at least in the US) they do not. In the end what matters for public policy is what people and up actually doing, not what they theoretically could do.
(I'm referring, e.g. on the call to kill Rushdie)
Also, INYM has codified the procedures regarding analysis procedures.
Probably at some point they will start mandating those CAs for broader categories of sites until they make the (EU) internet unusable for anyone that does not have the govt certificates.
