The OP is about college teaching and what I've written is applicable to that. Folks seem to have segued to K12 for some anti-union speechifying in the meantime.

As far as that goes, look at the condition of teachers in Kentucky if you think unions are the problem.

Unions have a fairly inflexible response to most "reform" plans but the problem is most reform plans, as can be seen here, aim to make teacher more insecure, more constrained, more "flexible" but without compensation for that flexibility. Sure, LA, Oakland or New Jersey might look bad but compared to strongholds of non-union teaching, they are paradise.

It would be great to come up with a reform plan that empowered teachers. The unions might fight that but individual teachers probably wouldn't. But the kinds of reform that come often from people lips - more testing and less job security, are rightly resisted by both unions and individual teachers.
Fantastic! Can I use it with my Google Apps account yet? I've been forced to have my Fi account tied with my old gmail account for years, and I can't connect that account with my phone without getting tons of garbage emails.
Yes, though Plan9's implementation of ".." Is incredibly different to Unix. It's treated as a lexical token rather than an actual directory entry, and so therefore certain strange cases with symlinks are handled differently (though Plan9 doesn't have symlinks either). From memory Rob Pike had a blog post about this problem and why Plan9 does lexical path cleaning on all paths before resolution.
Look at the James Damore situation and tell me how it's any different from Christians excommunicating heretics hundreds of years ago. The shaming and depiction of the opposition as fundamentally evil is identical

With difficulty! They will never be as good with computers as you are. You just need to accept that.

It is probably not a good idea to try to teach them competencies they do not see the need for. You could help them understand how to do things that they want to do. With that motivation they might be better able to concentrate on the essentials.

People have specific learning styles. When the teacher prefers a different modality to the learner you have a huge obstacle to overcome and often times neither is aware of it. The modalities are often described as: visual; auditory; kinesthetic. There is a massive body of literature on this area. For example; "SuperLearning".

In very brief summary the options are:

1. Show them how to do things and let them take notes or even record a short video on a smartphone.

2. Let them sit at the computer and tell them what steps to take. Again letting them take notes might help.

3. Document the steps required, e.g. screen grabs, and written explanations. Then let them follow those instructions as and when they need to refer to them.
Society isn't some laboratory where you can run experiments to your heart's delight. Decisions have consequences. Harming the market for medical research is particularly insidious, as its costs are very real but hard to see: all of the people who will be worse off because the treatments they need are not invented.
Well, yeah, using a made up domain is obviously a bad idea ... but what does that have to do with root CAs? And how does trusting your own root CA lead to not trusting the certs presented by other parties? I don't really understand what kind of scenario you are describing there.

And no, I don't see anything "standard" about not running your own CA, it is perfectly standard as far as I am concerned, and a really good idea as well. Relying on an external CA for internal services just creates risks of both availability and security. If you need an external CA to set up or continue operating internal services, that is an availability risk, and if you trust the whole standard set of root CAs for all of your internal services, that's a massive security risk.

Ianal but how does this violate MIT. This is not a serious question, I would like to learn.
It _is_ a competitive market in many places but the market _isn't_ functioning as it should because of dysfunctional relationships with unions and tenure.

Whatever your overall, it seems rather unbalanced to blame only unions for the teaching job market. Moreover, how is the job market supposed to work? In the places without unions, you have teachers literally living in cars.
Postgres has really picked up steam with enterprise and institutional users in my neck of the woods also [southwestern US]. The emphasis on role-based security and, lately, the ability to handle JSON, geolocation data, etc [plus finally getting some overdue query features like ROLLUP] have made some folks who previously swore by SQL Server or Oracle take it more seriously as an option for inhouse systems.

I see a fair number of local job postings that specify Postgres experience.
Thanks a lot for the info.

I've got an i7-8700k with a lot of RAM so it should be up to the task.

I do have multiple monitors but I would rather not use Ableton exclusively on one monitor if I can avoid it. Hmm, actually, thinking about it now, I could just use multiple HDMI inputs on the main monitor and switch when I need to. Actually that could work.

Also I do have an old mixer that I could use. At that stage things are becoming messy and complicated, but I guess that's the cost of getting things to work exactly as you want.
That sounds suspiciously like the owner of the conversion service knew somebody within Ohio government's IT management, for values of "knew" ranging from "friends" to "bribed".
Thanks for the feedback. The layout used here is not something I came up with. It's an emerged pattern from popular open source projects. Like you said, most probably they all started with simple package and as the project grew abstracted out things finally leading to a similar layout. The layout itself is another community effort (https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout).

This is not to say that the layout is a standard or the best possible one. It has it's advantages and disadvantages (a whole git repository and a blog article is dedicated to describe both aspects. Hence, I will not get into that discussion here). I chose the layout simply because it's already a well documented one. That being said, I will be more than happy to see other layout and even refactor the structure.

Open source projects generally are not typical web apps or REST API services. They are platforms or tools like docker, kubernetes, Hugo etc. While these projects are good usecases for studying golang code, they feel very complex due to their specific non-simple (if not complex) domain. My idea was to have a web app and API service project which has dead simple domain but highlights the coding practices so that newcomers can read and understand without having to understand what containers are etc.

Few other clarifications I would like to make:

- every directory is not essentially a package in Go. Only directories that have at least one go file are packages. Internal and PKG are not supposed to be packages in that sense. They are just a superficial boundaries between internal and public code.

- web directory is not a package in this project.. it contains static asset files.

- simplicity is something i absolutely love. That is the main reason I like golang. If you look past the outer structure of the project and dig into the code and packages, I think you will see the simplistic design inside. My other projects (e.g. https://github.com/spy16/radium) follow the simplistic method you explained.
If this were true, then other large patent holders would be toe-for-toe in spaces like web advertising. Spoiler: they're not.
San Francisco is really dumb about scooters at the moment. I can’t ride one because I don’t have a driver license. So I need to learn how to drive a freaking car and risk my life in one of these deadly machine to have the privilege of riding a kick scooter
I’m not a particular fan of e-scooters but IMO adults should have pretty broad latitude in what safety equipment they choose to wear.
Since theres no way to reliably and automatically detect a failure of the brake system without trying it, I disagree that this is completely on the company. It's in the riders best interest to verify that they can stop before reaching 20mph on a random scooter they pick up from the street corner...

I think it's very unreasonable to expect the company to be aware of vandalism and random damage without a rider report, or a much more expensive scooter. Ideally they would detect the damage during the next charge cycle, but I personally wouldn't put my faith in someone who's paid to spend as little time as possible with each scooter.
Agree. The last 50+ years of 1-1 contests (chess, boxing, tennis, mma, ..) have tended towards the defensive(1), for good reason.

In the old days a bit of flair and risk might have taken you a long way.

GANs, seem to me, the closest analogy to how the brain (or parts of it) might function. Moreover, when I try to imagine something in my mind's eye, it feels and looks to me something like what these GAN's are producing.
He was mostly talking of for-pay goods and services. The current trend of offering "free" services, that are anything but, is severely distorting the market. It's exploiting a current gap in consumer knowledge where people are massively undervaluing the literal value of their private information. But in a normal pay-to-play business, the argument is self evident. Either the monopolizer is malicious or benevolent. If they're benevolent then a monopoly doesn't matter. If they're malicious then that means that they're exploiting their market positioning to artificially inflate the prices of their goods/services.

When a company has unreasonably high prices this enables competitors to come in and gain marketshare easily by offering lower prices. And you're definitely right that the company can do things like try to buy out the smaller company, perhaps put pressure on their suppliers, etc. But this is a never ending game since for instance the smaller competitor could then even begin to develop their own supply chain, etc. And a small company getting bought out for some fat paycheck before they even really hit their stride is hardly discouraging to other would-be competitors! So long as the pie and the end of the tunnel is large enough, there will be an incentive to compete against the monopoly.

There is also the innovation issue. Coercive monopolies do not often innovate. Their focus is on profit whereas innovation tends to be focused on competition. This lack of innovation once again offers a big gap in the market for competitors. The aerospace industry vs SpaceX are the best example here. Boeing/Lockheed had a partially government enforced coercive monopoly in a field with greater barriers to entry than practically any 'material' industry. Yet a guy with 'nothing' but a few hundred million and the understanding that something worth on the order of let's say $20 million of material costs should not cost $500 million to build and launch, was able to enter the field and rapidly rise to dominance by working on nothing but innovation and non-monopolistic prices. Boeing/Lockheed by contrast were still so stuck in the past with their MBA style executive leadership that now, many years after the 'threat' of SpaceX has become self evident, that they've still been unable to effectively react.

So to avoid retro-fitting the past to fit a narrative, I expect in the future we'll be able to spin an exact tale of the telecoms industry. Once again another [heavily government enabled] monopoly that's completely failed to innovate and charges unreasonably high prices. Something like the proposed SpaceX constellation of LEO satellites for the purpose of low-cost high-stability internet stands to leave them completely taking over that industry. Of course the failure of Google fiber is an argument to the contrary, but that gets into an entirely different tangent and I think there were many reasons for that failure that lay squarely with Google.
While I sympathize with your view, I don't find it reasonable to say that Capitalism won't work if you add sufficient regulation.

There's a continuum of Capitalism->...->Socialism->...->Communism where it's been shown that both a completely free market (extreme capitalism) fails due to being unstable (for the reasons you state), but also that pure Communism fails (because people are people and systems corrupt - essentially same reasons as with Capitalism).

Somewhere in the center where you allow both the good of the many and self-interest to balance - you can have stability... but it comes at a cost of constant vigilance.
Both The Economist and Bloomberg have focused on new monopolies in the past few months, and a key problem has been quantifying the "moat" that provides companies with a lasting advantage.

Seems to me that a "moat" is most easily quantified by the share market total capitalization, and to disrupt monopolies, simply introduce a tax on total market value for a firm.
For those uninitiated to Plan9, binds are basically the replacement for symlinks (they're kind of like a mix of mount namespaces and bind mounts but more fundamentally baked into Plan9).
No enterprise would use the factory image, but a lot of small businesses would and they were put at risk as a result.

We can of course say they shouldn't have trusted it, but honestly, should it be normal to expect the manufacturer of the machine to be malicious?

Not to mention the other commenters pointed out that they used the firmware to reinstall the malware even on otherwise clean images, so even enterprises could've been at risk.
I think it would be more accurate to say that small churches are free to express more extreme political alignments, both conservative and liberal.

Large churches have a lot of diversity within the congregation, making it difficult for the senior pastor to steer the whole community in a single direction. This would make them more moderate on average. They also have to worry about legalities such as maintaining a tax-exempt status, so they can't endorse a particular party or candidate too strongly.
It should be noted that this is not without precedent. Plan9 doesn't have symlinks for example, everything is done using binds. You would be surprised how many complications come up when you add symlinks to path resolution code.

IBM Thinkpad t43p was my first heavy duty laptop. In 2005 IBM made a mistake that someone in their management must regret to date, selling Thinkpad laptop line to Lenovo. Things went downhill for Thinkpads and I lasted 3-4 more generations before finally giving up.

Thinkpad had a shot at being the world's most loved laptop, by developers and businessman on the go.

Passion for great products and great user experience is clearly not what drives the thinkpad product line today, and that is regretful. It is one of those business that I would love to run.

So fuchsia also won't have CWD, then? Because if it has CWD, then the process can always chdir / rendering this lack-of-.. exercise pointless.
This is terrible advice. Particularly given the SEC's recent focus on ICO's and fraud. For example, Google "SEC Testimonial Rule" and see how your section on video interviews is prohibited. That's just one of the many rules you're advising people to run afoul of. No one should do any ICO marketing without having a securities lawyer look at it.

Got handed a code base that had been slapped together by an offshore dev shop. It was a spaghetti combo of c, php, and Java. The configuration data was located inside a compiled c binary provided to us by the dev shop. If we wanted to make a config change we had to ask them to do it and send us a new binary. Kind of awkward since they had been fired due to slipped deadlines and horribly buggy code (insert shocked face here). We scrapped the whole thing eventually. I'm still blown away by how bad it was. Never seen anything like it before or since.
Few ever bother to separate Money, Markets, Capitalism and Corporatism when discussing this stuff. There's probably others I'm also not differentiating properly. It makes talking about what is and isn't working difficult.

A Christian church, theologically, is the embodiment of the community of faith; it has very little to do with a physical building. However, said community of faith has, as an general article of faith, the belief of bringing others to follow Christ, our god. Buildings happen to be extremely useful loci for organizing and arranging the community's business.

As a general part of the outreach mission, it harmonizes that a church building might host sports, arts & social service programs. Or, at least, it does for some.

I personally think the use of old cathedrals as purely secular spaces (condos, breweries, bars) is distasteful, although I acknowledge the theological vacuity of the building itself. I would rather see such buildings repurposed as a place to host offices and events serving others; while the congregation may have gone, the service to others that is part and parcel of the Christian mission can still continue on.
Software is unlike any prior field because it's so... clean.

Energy, agriculture, transportation - all built on the unintuitive building blocks of physics, and our approximate understanding of the universe. The clean abstraction layers and separation of concerns in IT is unparalleled, with powerful positive feedback begetting further innovations.

Applying advances to other fields also grew economies of scale rapidly, supporting innovation while barriers to entry were low. We're now approaching the end to low-hanging fruit and maturing into the consolidation phase, as further innovation requires greater capital and time commitment.
But that requires political will, and with current political funding and party platforms, that's basically a non-starter.
If you hold any morals or ideals as having value, then you're beholden to some belief. Whether that's considered "worship" is just semantics

I think one factor he didn't comprehend was lock-in via de-facto standards controlled by single corporations. Take AWS or Microsoft Windows as examples. Businesses that build a lot of infrastructure around those products are stuck with no choice but to continue to use them or ditch many years and sometimes tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in sunk cost.

Computing seems to facilitate this particular kind of monopoly more easily than physical systems.

This is an important question. I read an article (can't find it now) about museums tackling this problem for their digital born art. The idea is to encapsulate the binaries that run the art in some way that is human readable, or at least, in a way where humans could re-engineer the software, so you don't run into issues where in a thousand years there are no more Flash players.

It's a hard problem if you consider long time scales.
