I wrote a generic kernel driver overlay for error correction for block devices on Linux (Winter 2017-18) for a student org at my university. Interned at NVIDIA on their Linux graphics driver in Summer 2019
IMO QEMU is a nice spot between important, straightforward to contribute and relatively understaffed compared to how widely it is used. I have found multiple behavior/stability issues that I’ve fixed on my own (exposed though OSdev-adjacent work) and submitted to the mailing list
I've been running a SIGECOM chapter at UIUC and the main theme over the past four/five months is people meme-ing about Beanstalk and how its such a shit show. My original concern had to do with the stability lever only working to decrease the value, so it inherently requires a "distinct triangular shape" to keep itself running. I didn't take it seriously enough to do a deeper analysis (mostly because I'd find something like this, but I can't really do anything with it legally) but there's about $10k invested in the ecosystem as LPs/bond-owners within my group of friends.
I did 72hr fasts and averaged about a pound lost per day at the fastest (i mostly ate eggs and cream cheese when i did eat anything). I exercised pretty heavily too but entirely cardio (physically weaker obviously so don’t want to fail lifts). I went from 255lbs to 200lbs over the course of two months (currently sitting at 180 but that’s because I’ve released it quite a bit)
I think the main point the (grand?) parent is saying is that "Apple is in the phone business" isn't a reasonable description of Apple. I agree that Apple hosting itself on its own platform is an abuse of market position (especially for something as peripheral as music), but to claim that music/audio isn't a/hasn't been core part of Apple's business model is ridiculous.
I also feel that most science, math, and engineering is much more axiomatic than law and finance. It is easy to guarantee that things don't break when you have reasonable assumptions in an axiomatic system and can deduce the rest, but there are so many exceptions, technicalities, and gotchas in law and finance that I would be afraid of opening either myself or the company I work for up to lawsuits.
>The US could spend half of what it currently spends on the military and still be twice as powerful in terms of military force as the rest of the world combined.
I can't speak for California, but Illinois requires these things to be public (either automatically or via a FOIA request). Most state FOIAs work in the same way, but maybe with different sets of exceptions
Mostly finances, economics, mathematics and law. Looking into self teaching a JD track (currently a Math undergrad at UIUC so ill probably follow the JD curriculum here) but I need to pass the Bar, which requires having a proper JD from an accredited university.
