I still think like this stinks of "i'm a grown up and they're not" when the parent comment here is more correct, its more different standards.
There are equivalent reasons various members of the household get pissed about stuff which always boil down to:

> why isn't anyone paying attention to what I do?

Q. Why does my flatmate leave his freaking tools every bloody where?
A. 'cause he is the house handyman and when stuff is broken he fixes it.

Q. Why am I constantly tidying up my flatmate's mess?
A. Because he's a bit careless but ultimately its flatmate B that's requiring the clear table so its in deference to them.

Q. Why does flatmate B always leave the damn hoover plugged in like a freaking tripwire around the house?
A. 'cause when they've done the hoovering they can't be bothered to tidy up that part of the tidy up.

Everyone has their foibles and everyone can do better but to expect everyone else to magically assume your perspective and notice you all the freaking time is a selfish position. To be exasperated that you have to communicate your discomfort is a laziness of its own. If you fail to communicate then that's on you.
Sure you shouldn't "have to" but part of accepting other people into your life is accepting their imperfections.

Anyway, pushing this into some genderised codshit is bollocks.
Haven't used Netlify, so I can't speak to it, unfortunately. Getting a POC set up for Firebase was painless though, so if you're familiar with Netlify, that may make a good blog post!
There is only one academic who turned to sex work in this article right? Unless I missed some one else the article mentioned. This is a very specific example and paints with a broad paintbrush.
Many couples haven't even thought to communicate about this because the unconscious social conditional is so strong. It's an unreflected assumption that the female and male are in charge of certain duties.
I'm not sure why you're downvoted. This is a real problem that is palpable for anyone that has worked in higher ed since the 1980s as most universities have moved to act more and more like for-profit entities. The reasons for this move are complex, and one result is a rise in well-paid administrators and low-paid adjuncts with a decline in tenured faculty.

With companies no longer requesting university degrees, online learning (like watching Harvard courses) becoming more popular and in some countries university being outragous expensive, the future of universities is bleak because people will stop going there. And that of acadamics teaching is even worse.

The internet will cut all middleman, and teachers being the middleman between you and knowledge, or gatekeepers to degrees. If people do not add value - and empty classrooms show many teachers do not add value, in my theoretical CS and math classes professors only wrote proofs on the blackboard for 1.5h and then left - the internet elimates you.
> Open source is great, because potential customers will get a chance to try out your work without spending a dime or ever talking to you. This boosts your credibility. On the flip side, if you give away too much, you are basically competing against yourself when you attempt to monetize your work as a product.

> Your open source release should be a demo of the product, and no more. Give things away with the goal of eventually converting the users of the free software into paying customers.

Eh, I get it, but I also kind of dislike when people use open source solely as an advertisement. Either open source something useful or don't bother open sourcing it at all. A lot of smaller open source work I've seen is done by people who put a lot of work into making a cool tool who then want to share it with other people that may find it useful and use it for new and interesting purposes.

> Convincing people to use gender-neutral pronouns for you and convincing them that you are not male are two entirely different things. That is all.

And I'm telling you that it definitely does.

> I would venture to guess that you have convinced zero people that you are not male

This is untrue. But it depends on the venue. And in many cases succeeding at this changes how people treat me.

> but I made no statement about how pronoun preferences are an undue burden or how you should be ashamed; you made that up yourself.

No. You're just here to represent the "I will never accept what you're saying" squad.
I don't disagree with you, but in this case they are identifying the type of statue:

> The licking dog is an example of a healing statue, and may be linked to a Roman healing temple at Lydney.

I have not heard of a "healing statue", so a bit of searching found this in Wikipedia:

> Some healing temples also used sacred dogs to lick the wounds of sick petitioners.

So it is an interpretation of the statue - not a bad interpretation, but some explanation would be nice.
Re "smartphones suck": With this mindset, I'm surprised that you can use iOS. Although Android is bound towards drool-proof interfaces as well, the pocket computer I have is quite versatile, after some prodding (and rooting). Not a phone-with-apps-on-top, this is a computer-that-also-can-do-voice-calls. (Full Linux distro alongside the phone UI? Check.)

TL;DR: newish Androids sucks far less than previous/other types, even though they're constrained by the form factor.

Academia, has become a big business, it's no longer about the actual academics but keeping the gigantic snowball moving, gathering snow as it rolls until finally it crashes in the bottom of the hill.

I hope the admins and boards of the colleges and universities get hit worst. This isn't the fault of professors or their tenure, this is a greedy and disgusting late-stage-capitalist culture that has completely warped academia. The entire administration of academia and the groups associated with it are parasitic burdens on society.

Not sure what this has to do with tech but it was a great article on two of my favorite artists. Happy to find it here.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/

More or less, you have a directory with all your static pages, you say `firebase deploy` and then it creates a new version of your site in the firebase UI, where you can roll back to any previous version as needed. In a Hugo/whatever fashion, you'd have a script in your repo to regenerate that directory and then deploy. Still experimenting with the flow, but that seems to be the right one.
Why should you be ashamed of this?
You are kind of exemplifying the attitude that the parent comment complains about. You have standards that are not being met, but instead of communicating clearly you just try to shame the other person.

I understand communicating such simple things is not as simple as the thing would make it seem. In fact, the point of the article was that such work is unappreciated.

But just because it's not appreciated it doesn't mean it's not important. You should still do it.

Student loan collapse
Tenure's not the problem, the problem is that in their academic career, a PHD will produce X new PHDs. Where X is substantially greater than 1. Until this is fixed, it doesn't matter if academic jobs are for life, or are contracts that get renewed (or not) every 8 hours.

This pyramid scheme was fine while demand for PHDs was increasing (By industry, and growth of academia), but now its really not (Industry doesn't want to pay, academia can't grow anymore). Universities must start greatly restricting their grad school programs. Of course, this will absolutely kill the practice of using underpaid grad students to do research... And would have to be offset by public increases to research spending.
>I think this current trend where we assign responsibility for our emotions to everyone else is highly toxic and ultimately self-defeating.

I agree, because one thing I've learned in this life is that you can't "fix" other adults. This applies to spouses, employees, employers, subordinates, family members, friends, etc.

People are what they are, and your basic choice is to either accept them for what they are, or separate them from your life to whatever degree is necessary if you can't. You might be able to temporarily coerce behavioral changes in someone, but the change will only be external and temporary.

If a guy is the type who would rather spend the entire weekend on the couch watching TV rather than attending to household chores while things fall apart around him, it's unfortunate, but that's who he is. With enough nagging and head games, he might be manipulated into fixing the broken screen door, but that's what it will take each and every time.

If a subordinate at work never seems to accomplish anything because there's always some drama in their life distracting them, they're not going to one day magically transform into the model employee.

That's why you have to be careful when choosing a spouse or an employee. They're going to be what they are. In fact, if anything, their bad traits will probably amplify once they've closed the deal, and they know it will be more difficult to get rid of them.
So I've tested it at home, where I have 2 different APs on 2 different channels (11 and 6, if that's of any consequence). I purposely rebooted the APs the RPi was using for internet access and it seamlessly switched over to the other AP without killing my laptop's connection to its own AP. I then rebooted the AP it was connected to after the first one had come back up, and it switched back again.

While this seems to behave sanely, you may run into issues where your device will drop session with the RPi AP due to "no internet connection". Assuming you're running Android, your device may ask if you want to remain connected to that AP, or it might just disconnect due to lack of internet. That's entirely device-dependent, but there's nothing inherently making this not work based on my instructions. It just might take some extra work on the device-side to make sure it doesn't try to drop the connection.
I feel one of the reasons so much software appears broken is exactly by leaving these decisions in the hands of programmers. This mostly happens because nobody else wants to make the decision either.

However, what constitutes a small bug vs a large one is very different for a programmer than for business.
'Just a spelling error in the signup form' may decide if someone becomes a customer.
While some rare edge case can take up weeks of reworking a solution, may have been covered just by a business decision not to support that case.

I'm still looking for a better way to deal with this as most QA testers aren't capable either to decide whether something is just a detail that everyone will gloss over or an important detail that makes all the difference for a customer.
Both often end up in the same large bin of 'some day' issues where developers cherry-pick what they feel like. (until a customer complains of course)
Honestly we need to completely rid ourselves of the notion that education should be preparation for a job and instead looking at it as a betterment of society in general.
Neat. That's probably pretty easy to implement using things like MathJax [1]. I put math in my webpages all the time and it's just pure LaTeX equations.

I personally prefer the word "corporatist" for this phenomenon to avoid this ambiguity. Crony-captalist has an anti-capitalist tinge, which I don't favor, but is one reason why I think is has been adopted broadly.

A friend of a friend is an adjunct. His college has put him and 20 other adjuncts into a single classroom to serve as their offices..open floor plan?

When students come in to talk, they must do in a room filled with other students and adjuncts. As we know, these conversations often include quite personal details.
After complaining to the dean, the dean responded something to the effect, "I realize that you don't have access to the big picture, so let us worry about the big picture and feel assured that this is necessary."

Outrageous.
Are you saying that this news article is anecdotal and incorrect about the actual situation? It seems to me that as a whole, the situation with adjunct teachers is quite bad..
The nice thing about generators IMO is that when you want to change something on every page (a simple example being a <meta> tag or the page heading) you just have to update the template and run the script, instead of updating every file.

I don't really love Jekyll either, that's why I have my own generator written in Node, and my dependencies are defined strictly in my package.json to keep things like markdown parsing from breaking.

Heck, generators can just be a sh script with some sed commands.
Yes. It's the wrong term. She objects to having to manage some of the household tasks. She doesn't want to manage the housecleaning or manage child care. Fine. Managing is work. No need for the different nomenclature.

There is a shipping container surplus in the US due to the large trade imbalance between the the US and the far east.(1)

It's my understanding that it's generally cheaper for the far east to manufacture new containers than pay to ship empty containers back. Like you mention, there are also a number of containers that age out.

As a PhD who never went into academia, I can easily take the pledge not to have any (academic) children.
In my experience communication happens again and again and again over a period of years until the woman gives up in exasperation and just seethes silently. It's hard to get someone to engage in emotional labor (or as I like to call it, 'giving a fuck') when they simply don't give a fuck, no matter how much you communicate.

Since not caring enough to do the basic gruntwork associated with a decent relationship is almost always a male problem in our society, I'm also gobsmacked that you'd call it sexist. It's about as sexist as calling gun violence or any other widely gendered thing a male problem - there's exceptions out there, but it's not worth being pedantic about.
Replied to your parent.
It's not just the adjuncts, it is graduate students, too.

I've got friends who are working on their PhDs while teaching 4-5 classes (at other locations). I considered being a TA a few years ago, but you couldn't have a second job. The stipend as a TA was $1300 a month + tuition for 40 hour weeks (may have actually been "20" hour weeks, not certain). Yeah, right.

It's pretty screwed up. It's a privilege to be in higher education but it is also pretty crushing and you've got to be a soldier to deal with it. The worst part is I've almost never met anything but great people who willingly put themselves through it.

It's why as an overeducated graduate student, I'm against expanding education more and more (like free community college for all). The incentives are way off currently, not sure what the solution is, but it has to change.
It would generally be appropriate to say things like "was the best return" or "has been the best return" when describing past price appreciation. "Is the best return" could be reserved for something like a stable source of income.
The market is much smaller than you think especially for public universities because of the huge difference between in and out of state student rates. That means most students can only really consider in state schools where there's at most a handful and generally they've each got a few things they're known to be 'the good one' for that subject/field.

I wonder what percentage of the admin is dedicated to chasing money. While I was working as an undergrad assistant the grant writing process was insane and I rarely saw the professor overseeing research. He was walled off in his office writing grant proposals.

I learned that for the budget of most research projects, 50% was administration. That is 50% wasn't for researchers, the lab, labor, or equipment. Part of the 50% administration budget was paying for the oversight of said budget.

I am no longer amazed when government projects go severely overbudget anymore. Its designed to do that. Not just the contractor but the government itself. Budget a project, get the vendor, project goes over, create a department to track costs, budget goes over, write a new law to track budget, budget goes over, create another department to track budget, budget goes over, write a new law to track budget, ad nauseum.
Let me be more clear, then: saying that a female author is sexist for expecting her partner to take an equal share of the emotional labor of their shared life is beyond disgusting. I can't say I'm at all surprised to see that sort of mens-rightsism around ycombinator, though.
GBTC is a regulatory dodge that does not reliably track the price of bitcoin. As someone who wants a bitcoin ETF, I’m certain the SEC would not have approved the listing of GBTC and very confused as to why ICE (who should know better) ever thought they would.
The gov't loses the repayment, since student loans are federally backed. Though the fed is double dipping on the student loans: they get interest back on the loans while also getting higher tax revenue from higher incomes.
I cannot imagine hosting a static site with a company that only has a free tier, a $50/mo tier, and a $290/mo tier. $290/mo to host a Jekyll blog? What the fuck?

Either it's a scam, or it's meant to be used for far more than a Jekyll blog. So the parent's suggestion that "if you're frustrated with Github Pages, use this super expensive and overengineered service instead" comes off to me like the worst kind of advertising.

They're not even in the same league. Netlify is designed for something far more than Github Pages.
I find that comic sexist; many men are house managers. Not all, but to assume that men are passive parents is insulting.
He did etchings of Bowery too... some of my favorite works of art. Leigh Bowery was rarely seen publicly out of his fantastical outfits, so the etchings of him as a large naked man are especially striking and show his humanity.

I would like to know which universities these people work at. Are they Billion dollar universities or are these lower tier schools. Regardless schools care more about money then education and enslave their students in debt, send their athletes on the road for week missing class, and literally pimp out there professors.
Well, the point of college isn't to do job training. There are trade skills for that. College exists in the exact state high school did before it was made free for everyone. It is a barrier for entry into "good" jobs and the middle-upper class. It is simultaneously a way for people to learn and become informed citizens, to get some context for the world around them and how it operates, to learn economics and philosophy and mathematics and physics and computer science if they are interested in it.

After a while we said "no, everybody should go to high school and learn civics and math even though they aren't necessary for most specific jobs". Before that, we had the poor starting manual labor or apprenticeships at 12, never learning anything beyond their specific skill, while actually becoming educated and a citizen was reserved only for the rich. We decided to make our workforce and citizenry more thoughtful and educated and improved society as a whole significantly.

It's time to do it again. Our world is much more complicated now, human knowledge has expanded vastly. College education is now the baseline for 'educated person' and that's okay. It's great, even. Thanks to free high school the poor can study math and history. If there were free college, the poor could study economics and philosophy and computer science too.

How many talented people do we lose by shunting the poor (who are, in capitalism, always the vast majority of the population) into non-education job training when they are young because they can't afford to learn about the world?
The amount that the miner can claim is hardcoded in the client, something like "if block no < X you can create out of thin air only N coins". After some time N will be zero and the incentive for the miner will come purely from fees.

Of course a miner could just use a different, bigger value but then the block would not be accepted by anyone else and be basically worthless.

The rules are there because everyone is using the same client or bug to bug compatible alternative.

There are 3 classes of license, and each consecutive class gives you more privileges than the last. From least privileged to most:

1. Technician: Access to frequencies that let you contact people in your city.

2. General: Access to frequencies that bounce off the ionosphere and let you contact people all around the world.

3. Amateur extra: Access to more frequencies yet, but none of these frequencies give you abilities past what General can do (worldwide contacts).

I recommend going straight to general. It strikes a good test-difficulty to privileges-granted ratio.

The easiest way to study is to just memorize the answers to all the questions. Yes, that's right: the licensing test question bank is published and it's not hard to memorize the entire thing. This site has flashcards and practice exams: https://hamstudy.org/ If you practice for 15 to 30 minutes a day, you can be ready for your general test in less than a week.

Once you're ready, find a testing site in your area and go: http://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-sessi...

Then buy (maybe even build) a radio and have fun!

What can do you once you have your license? Off the top of my head:

- Talk with people in distant countries.

- Build radios and test them out.

- Build antennas and test them out.

- Make contacts through satellites that have ham radio repeaters.

- Join an emergency communications org like ARES (http://www.arrl.org/ares).

- Talk with people in different countries using digital modes (like a very early chat room i guess?)

- Make your friends get licenses and use it for comms when backpacking, rafting, whatever.

- Make contacts by bouncing signals off the moon (ok this one is hard).
Perverse incentive structures will not be repaired with a power grab
