I've only been actively teaching (at home, no less) for a couple of years, but I can definitely identify with this. I make index cards with each kind of question we encounter in the curriculum, then I draw some random cards from the deck in order to pick questions going all the way back to the start. We do a quiz every week for every subject that's made up of those questions.

It always comes down to time though, it seems like you can use all these ideas and teach for mastery, but it costs about 30% in terms of forward motion through the material. I'm lucky in that that I can just decide to pay that price, but it would be a real stretch to put all this into practice in a place where you have a coverage deadline that's already hard to hit.
Yeah, Silicon Valley is pretty much a "Cult of Money" now. Maybe I'm way off base here but it doesn't seem like the mentality of creating products and services which genuinely help people while at the same time providing a living for, say, 100 families for the next 20 years is a thing there.

Slightly iterating on and pumping old ideas in social media with the goal of conjuring billion dollar valuations for the next ad platform seems to be the norm.
Was the best way to do it maybe.

I work in the industry and you would be shocked at how sluggish these companies have gotten.
If you're talking about a half acre biodome, your "limited amount of time" is probably longer than the life of the planet.
The objections to systemd are still as valid as ever. We still see a pretty high rate of security vulnerabilities in it.

However, as projects adopt systemd-proprietary APIs, distros are forced to choose between maintaining ongoing forks of those projects, dropping those projects, or adopting systemd. E.g. I suspect Slackware only avoided being forced to adopt it because they'd already decided to not support gnome.
Well, that's not really a risk then, is it?
Notice that nobody complains about the existence of systemd, but about the enormous and shady pressures that distros had (particulary debian) to adopt it as standard. Nowadays, the complain is mostly about the systemd monoculture.
I had one bad experience, and it was so bad I nearly stopped buying from Amazon.

Product did not arrive on time, spoke to support rep.

Rep said that it was delayed because it was coming from overseas, which the tracking information easily disproved - it was coming from Illinois. Illinois is not overseas. When told this, the rep accused me of making things up, despite having the link.

The rep then said that it had been delayed because of weather in my town. I live in this town. It was sunny the entire day in question, and the day before. When I pointed this out, he flat out called me a liar.

I then asked to speak to a supervisor, because I had been lied to twice at this point. The rep immediately began stonewalling me, and for the next 45 minutes, I became increasingly impatient with his behavior, and told him that if I did not have a supervisor in the next 5 minutes, I would be ending the chat and sending the transcripts to someone else at Amazon and following up.

At this point, he made a thinly veiled threat to ban me (I have thousands of dollars of digital content tied to my account), and I immediately ended the chat and sent the entire log to anyone and everyone associated with Amazon that I could think of.
Im confused - did they not EXPLAIN their query? That's the first step in ANY slow query debugging!

I kept waiting to see EXPLAIN output so I could say "oh, there's your table scan" and nothing ever showed up.
My 2015 model S has appallingly bad voice recognition and turn by turn directions compared to my phone (1st gen Android Pixel) from the same year. Both have software updates but the car is really, really bad when it comes to those things.

I'm happy with the bluetooth though, and I've never had a random reboot.

I understand the gripe about multiple payment options in Amazon.

I usually end up with a gift card from some promo and it always seems to end up with $3.XX left on it. I want to use it up, but hardly anyone supports multiple card payments. Including Amazon.

What they do support, though, is buying a Amazon gift card of custom value, and making multiple payments with that.

You’re just painting your own bias over his words

Yes, I agree. But I also think I acknowledged that, when I wrote I appreciate that Paul G's intended meaning was different.

How about _interpreting_ what he said _literally_...

Hmm...

instead of misinterpreting him as “against social nets”

Again, I think I was quite clear about the distinction between Paul G. (probably) meant, and how I (subjectively) interpret it. My point is not that Paul G is a bad person. I just think he is being somewhat obtuse and insensitive. He is making an argument against a position that nobody is defending, namely that one can't or shouldn't take risk if one is poor. The discussion that sensible people were having before, was about whether one's level of privilege might have something to do with one's willingness to take risk.

Earlier versions of systemd were fairly buggy, but then it was still in its infancy and its in a much better state now.

systemd (not SystemD) changes a core part of the OS, we go from a userspace being bootstrapped by a bunch of different shell scripts calling a dozen individual binaries, to an actual system and service manager configured with unit files.

It's a large change, although one other operating systems went through a decade earlier, and some people don't like change.
Do something you can be really proud of.

I suffered the same lack of confidence you described. It took years, but I became really good at my job by learning a lot, so I got confident only in my job at first, to the point when I started arguing about technical decisions really heavily and started taking over a huge project.

This confidence is slowly transferring to other areas of my life. For example, talking to strangers was a huge burden for me too, but it's not a problem anymore because I can believe now that I'm as much human as they are with the same set of problems as they have.

Also meeting with assholes (who talk low about you or ignore you) can be a really big hit for your confidence, but try to mark them as such and don't take it personally.

A huge turning point was me when I read this article about what other people expect from me. It really opened my eyes and I could judge myself and my relationships with people more objectively: https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-y...

>And you can't have a distro out there without GNOME, so...

LxQt and any KDE-powered distro would beg to differ.

But I agree, in general, that KDE-default distros are few and far between. And the KDE team probably has better things to do with their time than try to maintain a systemd-less fork.
Some bets are safer than others. A poor person betting everything had better have a sure bet that will pay off quickly. Not many of these exist.

A poor person is safest betting on a stable (if low paying) job and ensuring he keeps it. Taking on a few side projects on the weekend can earn some extra cash, but there comes a time you either need to bet on growing that side business, or not: if you bet on it you better have enough contacts to grow it to a real job quickly, if not you have to start refusing work for the side job - the worst thing you could do is to fall asleep and get fired from the day job while the side job isn't paying enough to live on.
The ICE drivetrain is arguably the least complex part of a modern car. Converting to electric reduces some complexity, adds some, but fundamentally it's still a car. Nuts, bolts, ECUs, brakes, etc -- all of these have been commoditized for decades. What the manufacturer is bringing to the table is the structure. From the way it looks to the way it crumples in a crash, that is arguably the single most critical element of a car and I don't see any commoditization going on there. And those are two of the biggest decision makers for buyers.

Not to mention that, as a contractor, they have to pay SS and Medicare payroll taxes, which total an additional 7.65%. So, that $20/hour, given the overall expenses, is probably not even equivalent to the new NYC minimum wage of $15/hour.
I don't think it matters what we're defining as rich. We can be honest without being destructive. I feel like our culture is constantly telling people they can't do anything with their life if they don't have every box of privilege checked. It's terribly psychologically destructive. Life is a constant struggle,a real river of shit sometimes, but it's one in which our own actions are still the biggest determining factor in our long term outcomes.

I don't think circuits degrade that much over 100 years, now the electronic components (like capacitors) may need to be replaced, some plastic parts may also, but the devices could still be made operational. I guess besides component failure is the amount of firmware data loss over time (devices with EPROMs instead of ROMs) would be another factor, which might not be good for the more complex devices, then again such code might be backed up somewhere in a vintage device collector's archive.
If you are still arguing about systemd, you don't know enough about it, so you should learn about it and you don't understand the big picture. Users crying about Linux desktop all the time, but systemd has a huge part making the situation way better.
> Sysvinit scripts were terrible to write and frequently had bugs because the scripts were usually afterthoughts "Oh yea... I guess we need one of those things".

There were alternative solutions to that problem that didn't require replacing a long and ever-growing list of system components with tightly-coupled (and often buggy) systemd versions. In fact people who really cared about their init system were already using them.
Fwiw, every car has terrible voice recognition.
People's perceptions aren't unified. Some people will always dislike SystemD, and they are not be forced to use it. If every major distro maintainer loves it, some people still would hate it.

There's still a group of Unix users upset about the major init split that happened fourth years ago. Things will never be unified.
In fact many people did complain about the existence - I have read actual demands that distros should actively work against it back in the days. Also the personal attacks against Lennart make it difficult to see any rational point in the whole debate.
Framing detector is on. I have an issue with the word "forced". Nobody is forcing you with a gun to your head. Don't want to be "forced" - don't go do business in China.
Tempers may flare and return to friendships. Influences of nations wax and wane. The dead really do not care if they sleep forever or rise again, and cities burnt never are fully rebuilt.

Marxists today face a decision between war or suicide. What they believe in just isn't true. There's no dialectic, no progression of thesis, antithesis and synthesis. It's all just brute force, no room for thought or planning when hundreds of millions are horribly butchered and starved to death. There's no romanticism behind it. It's vulgar, humanity's greatest crime, and the shame of the world.

Very much so, technology is at a point where it's limited by the faults of all. Heart surgeons cannot research when they are doing a million bypasses a day. Cancer surgeons have to deal with gluttony and lust instead of uplifting humanity.

Humans have done everything except learn how not to kill one another. Men, women, children really are God killers.

Wow nice! This is hardcore. I wish I had stumbled on this when I first started learning various coffee making techniques. Three pieces of feedback:

- If you search for a grinder like "Capresso 565" nothing happens. Baratza didn't work either. I suggest letting the visitor know that you don't have the config for a particular grinder. Or maybe a dropdown of the configs you do have.

- I was confused at first by the color selection. Like is this for the color of my grinder, or the bean? lol. Don't underestimate tired people who don't read and need coffee right now!

- I think a lot of people will want this site to just tell them what to do. Like I have a Capresso 565 and I'm doing a pour over. What setting do I use? And if there's a few possible settings, tell me how it will affect things going lower or higher. The chart is cool but people mostly just want the answer to their specific question loud and clear.

Just some random thoughts. Overall I love this. Keep at it. I see the other tools on your site. This site could really become a staple in the coffee world. I noticed https://honestcoffeeguide.com/tools didn't have this chart generator listed there.

Good luck!
I think everybody in this discussion is working with a different model for the word "risk". This is a problem of concision inherent to a platform like Twitter. I don't think the argument is that 18 year olds are risking less than 30+ year olds with established families. I think the argument is that for young middle/upper class people with social capital, the risk is moving back in with your parents. The conversation stems from the question "are startups riskier for rich kids or not-rich kids?", and not "are startups riskier for 18-30 year olds vs some other demographic?"
I don’t think anyone thinks that sysvinit is better than systemd, but RC definitely is.

Distros that choose not to employ systemd do not necessarily retain sysvinit.

The way Tesla tends to defend Autopilot-caused crashes makes me think that if someone did take over their servers and then sent an update to a specific car to kill someone, Tesla would hide this from the public.

They're rare in the US. KDE-as-default is close to the norm in Europe.

KDE has long been a more crossplatform system than Gnome (much better windows support (and even e.g. solaris), BSD is treated as first-class) so I'd hope they'll continue to avoid being systemd-dependent.
sysvinit was at least a thousand times easier than bsd init scripts, and I occasionally see people that are opposed to both systemd and sysvinit and think rc.local was 'it'.

Where did anybody argue that "regulating the internet" is a good idea because it reduces competition for EU-headquartered international companies?

Oh well, people say crazy things sometimes. It's definitely a bad motivation - I don't think it's even remotely relevant as a practical motivation however, not least because there's just not a lot of upside to be had.
It's not an economic tool but one of diplomacy (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_diplomacy), and the action now is likely more of a signal to the Chinese people than to the American.
I think the main problem is not the init process, but the tooling around it that breaks systems. For instance systemd-resolved did break local resolving some years ago (maybe still today).

While it is optional, ubuntu installations come with it turned on by default.

This is being tested. I don't think it will really happen.
I don't think anyone else should pay for a startup's safety net. Doing a startup requires calculated risk. It may or may not work. Whoever wants to attempt need to sit down and calculate the costs and the risks and take precautions. This is not the same as someone becoming unemployed because they got laid off, and it's not the same as providing welfare to people in poverty. Startups by their nature are risky and no one else should have to pay for a safety net in case it doesn't work out. The market does well weeding out the bad ideas and companies that aren't actually solving any problems. Creating a safety net might just contribute to perpetual "startupdom" (with everyone else paying for it), when in reality certain ideas and efforts need to just die off.
Because they have spent years trying to increase market share in Europe and South America, and are only now seeing the fruits of that labor. In the Chinese market they have to compete on price against Xiaomi, Oppo and many, many others, whereas in overseas markets their offerings (minus the P30 flagship) have a big price advantage over Samsung and Apple.

Because I was using quarterly for both numbers, and their net sales of merchandise was over $200B (global) in 2018, meaning their net sales were almost 10X higher on products than AWS. Since it's a 10:1 margin, I continue to claim that it's ridiculous to think that AWS > selling physical products in terms of revenue.

In terms of income, however, it's not, they make a lot more on services than physical goods (as everyone not named Apple does)
Humans have the advantage of understanding context enough to (try to) avoid being in those situations though. You may not be able to avoid a car suddenly spinning out right in front of the you, but you may have realized 7 minutes ago the driver kept drifting outside his lane and backed off to give him a bigger gap; getting autonomous cars up to that level would require strong AI tech
> Anyone that is successful was 'advantaged'

> Why not try to promote a conversation to lift people up and empower them rather than writing off the hard work and perseverance of others?

I think these two can live together - if you succeed, there was something that allowed that. Whether it was privilege, whether it was luck, or timing, or the right application of hard work and a blend of them all.

It's important to recognise what advantages are best leveraged for success, and then we can optimise to ensure most people have access to it.

In the argument in question, what advantage did Airbnb's founders have that allowed them to take that risk? How did they get the flat they were struggling to pay for in the first place for example? Why did they not skip rent and have to work 3 part time retail shifts to cover it like large swathes of workers in a similar boat.

Identifying privilege is an important piece of the puzzle - noone succeeds solely by hard work alone (otherwise all coal miners would be millionaires, and 996ers would be everywhere), so if we can spot the factors that successful people leverage, we can support others to get there (whether that's better education, cheaper housing, familial support etc...).
That's an interesting take. Someone else in the thread likened it to a strike for higher wages, happening multiple times in a night. I wonder where the line is between that and collusion?
There is almost no diabetes in places like rural China or rural Africa for example, but when we track people that have moved from there to the west, they and their children develop the same illnesses as anyone else there: diabetes, etc.

> People who eat healthy and stay fit also get diabetes.

I think that the biggest problem is that what most people think its healthy food, it's actually not. Most people in the western world today eat in a way that only kings and nobles could afford or have access too just a couple of centuries ago.
That's the Oracle pitch. The practical implication is that you don't get your openjdk builds from them if you want to avoid the audits, licensing, etc. Paid support is also offered by others so they don't do this exclusively. This has been true since they acquired Sun. I find this odd because that was arguably the most valuable thing they acquired from them.

BTW, v9 was a non LTS release, just like 10. v8 was the last traditional release. V11 is a relatively short lived LTS release. Hence Amazon and others stepping up to fill the void left by Oracle no longer offering long term support for free.
