Thesis track isn't offered and I don't think there are any plans to offer it.

Many of the students and TAs are also on the slack group, omscs-study. It's far from ideal because it's "non-official" but it addresses a lot of these complaints.

It didn't have to run any real software except a browser and maybe a PDF reader. Also, yeah it was a remote grad program, so it was a bit of an experiment with how you do testing remotely at scale. I think they were trying to reach a fair compromise that didn't involve rewriting course content to include more open exams.

Yeah as a student they gave us about a month warning.

They won't let you continue if their software detects a virtualized system. Source: I used ProctorU for remote exams with Georgia Tech.

I feel in that case, it was acceptable. Students were encouraged to get a cheap "burner" windows machine and use it only for the proctored tests, and we were warned in advance of all the restrictions.

You're sorely wrong. Divorces in several states, California included, are like mutually assured destruction with one side having twice the firepower, and everything about a relationship can change in a divorce.

To OP: you don't have to hide your assets in offshore accounts, you can talk to an estate planner and look into setting up a trust (google domestic asset protection trust) and make yourself the sole beneficiary. You would no longer "own" the money and it's protected in a divorce.

Also prenups are typically worthless in the madness that is family court. Never ever ever rely on one.

It's rare. And a lot of the businesses that are paying these salaries to new developers aren't profitable, they're running on VC money.

In my experience $120k is in line with a developer with a 4-year CS degree and 1-2 years of work experience and maybe some OSS work.

R is great for producing scientific papers, charts, and doing a vast array of "standard" statistical analyses. I have found python to be much nicer because it's more of a "real" programming language, but the numpy/scipy/pandas stack make it very easy to use for data science and financial analysis also.

There's a (very) quick intro here:

You can also look into quantopian for practice, but I don't recommend actually trading money.

interface IMyComponentProps { x: number; }

function MyComponent(props: IMyComponentProps): JSX.Element { return <p>{props.x}</p>; }

The default option is to use the bundled typescript compiler, but you can now also point it to a folder that contains a typescript compiler and it will call out to that. It works very well for me so far.

You do know that narconon is a scientology recruitment organization that targets drug addicts, right?

The MDMA scheduling decision should have put any doubts about the role of the DEA to bed back in the 80s. For those unfamiliar with the history, MDMA was used by hundreds of therapists for treating patients in the 80s. Unfortunately it also led to abuse when people realized how fun it was and that they could legally mail order it in bulk. It led to too much bad press when teenagers overdosed, so the DEA stepped in.

The DEA held a hearing for the scheduling decision, and their argument for schedule 1 was that it had no medical value because no pharmaceutical company had applied for an FDA license for it. The judge ruled that MDMA didn't meet a single criteria for schedule 1 status, and the argument about FDA licensing was secondary to whether or not the medical community at large thought it was useful.

Despite this ruling, the DEA unilaterally made it schedule 1. They were sued by a Harvard psychiatrist, and the DEA lost again, with the court ruling that the drug only met the standard for schedule 3. Again, the DEA summarily dismissed the court's ruling and rescheduled it as schedule 1.

The crux of the issue that this whole process danced around was that MDMA's patent had expired, and no pharmaceutical company was going to take on the FDA costs to make a drug that was dirt cheap, easy to manufacture, and should only be used at most five times throughout a patient's life. Especially when the alternatives (Prozac and SSRIs) were making a billion dollars plus annually.

Veterans in the US have a nickname for PTSD: Paid Till Suicide or Death. Right now drug companies are treating the VA as a huge cash cow and are dumping vast quantities of opiates and in-patent SSRIs on it, when there is a far more effective treatment that is extremely cheap. It's a multi billion dollar scam that's killing people, and the DEA is purposefully helping them maintain this charade.

Bertilda Lovejoy made a name for himself by writing outrageous YouTube comments. I don't know if this is the same person, but it's not coincidental that they chose that name here.

The problem is that once javascript is enabled on a page, there is too large of a business incentive to tack on google analytics, auto-playing video ads, facebook and linked-in and twitter integration, annoying subscribe popups, etc. Javascript is necessary in the web that I want for the future but I want some standards for what gets run in my browser without me going through manually and whitelisting specific scripts to block out the 10s of MB of crap that get thrown at me every time I go to a new site.

He got a cease and desist from the manufacturer so he took it down unfortunately.

My family is ultra-competitive and this used to be one of our go to games until my sister mastered it. My brother-in-law wrote an android game to help her practice and after about a month she was down to sub 1 minute clears. We had to give up the game after that.

That's because of sea level rise from global warming. Lots of isles have been shrinking.

Can I write an npm script to look at all my other npm scripts and unpublish and republish them every 23 hours and 59 minutes?
