To be fair, the Nazis intentionally killed 10 million people, while the ~40 million Chinese mostly died from economic incompetence.

Submission + - SPAM: Tech-Bankrolled Code.org Deputized Universities to Push CS Into K-12 Schools

theodp writes: With its Regional Partner Program, tech-bankrolled Code.org explains, it is selecting U.S.-based organizations as partners to help spread K-12 computer science, including the training of 100,000+ new "CS teachers" ("Our training isn’t to teach you how to become a computer science teacher," explained Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi when asked how its Professional Development program produces CS teachers in a matter of days. "It’s enough to teach you how to teach Code.org's curriculum."). Selected partners — which include private and public universities — are provided with "appropriate levels of Code.org funding needed for the first year of partnership," but partners are expected to "establish and implement an annual fundraising plan and goals to ensure program is fully funded locally by June 2020 through any combination of state or federal funding, cost recovery (fee-for-service), and grants or sponsorships."

Sacred Heart University, for instance, announced last November that it had "become the official partner of Code.org in Connecticut, joining a nationwide network that supports efforts to expand access to computer science in K-12 schools." Through the partnership, SHU explained it would provide professional development to educators throughout Connecticut, with the help of "a funding commitment of over $200,000" from Code.org to provide scholarships for eligible teachers through 2020. This November, Sacred Heart announced it had scored federal funds totaling $3.8 million from the U.S. Dept. of Education with an application touting its partnership with Code.org. In an accompanying abstract, SHU noted it will be partnering on Project {FUTURE} with Code.org (who will be kicking in an additional $1.3 million), as well as Code.org regional partner Marquette University.

Code.org reported that it also won a $4 million award from the Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant program. Funding of the EIR awards was credited to adviser to the president Ivanka Trump, who Microsoft President (and Code.org Board member) Brad Smith said agreed to work to secure $1 billion of Federal support for K-12 STEM/CS education after Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Facebook each pledged to commit $50 million to K-12 computer science education.

If they had any business maintaining packages, they'd be able to write a shell script. Shell scripting is a central Unix feature, not a drawback. Before Unix, you had to learn special languages for automation, and they were very limited. systemd is not moving forwards, it's moving backwards.

No, I don't want to use the software from the idiot coders, like Lennart — who ignores bug reports, and published standards. And I don't want to use GNOME 3 either, they can stick that garbage where the sun don't shine. So why do I need systemd? To make some package maintainers lives easier? People too dumb to write init scripts are too dumb to be package maintainers.

Not a simple question. I believe that if you solve for the gravitational field of a black hole when a large object falls in (including another black hole) there are some fluctuations as the object gets close to the event horizon - and that energy is dissipated as gravity waves quite rapidly) . The resulting gravitational field rapidly settles down to look like that of a black hold of the combined mass (minus any emitted gravity waves). (rapidly is milliseconds for stellar mass black holes)

As viewed from the outside an object falling in takes forever to reach the center - but it becomes invisible (amount of light decreases exponentially near the horizon) so it is effectively invisible.

Its not clear it makes sense to talk about what happens to the object inside of the black hole because that is in theory not observable.

Makes my head hurt.

With changing hardware, you have to remove no longer used services and start new ones on the fly.

Most reconfiguration for hardware is handled by udev, not by the init system. We had udev before systemd.

With changing hardware, you have to remove no longer used services and start new ones on the fly. With SysV init, you only have 5 different states.

So what? You run an init script to stop a service, A file in /etc/default gets twiddled, and you run the init script again. If the service is disabled in its /etc/default file, it doesn't run. If it's enabled, it does.

and you want to have them without the need of a reboot.

They don't require a reboot with init scripts. It doesn't look like you know what you're talking about.

The problem with SysV init and similar systems is that they don't really support flexibility.

You have way more flexibility with init scripts than you do with systemd unit files.

Every hardware change requires manual changes in the booting process.

No, it only requires changes in files in /etc/default.

You really don't understand how sysvinit works.
