Partnerships and collaborations. Have tech companies sponsor farms by letting them use tech.

Many farmers are land rich, cash poor, labour costs eat up profit margins. Many will die. And with these farms, the knowledge. They will sell the land and retire on the proceeds as rich farmland is paved over.

What they need is accessible, affordable tech. And where their inherited generational and practical knowledge can be tested and validated and adopted by tech. It needs to be with trustworthy partners who don’t see farmers as future consumers but as collaborators and partners.

Current Agtech is geared towards commodity crops and industrial Ag. All farming knowledge that is soil and environment oriented comes from small family farms. Their goal is to keep the soil fertile. The purpose of a farming corporation is to make profits. Not soil health or environment.

By asking big Ag concerns to take care of soil, we are burdening them with a job they don’t want..but that requirement towards soil and environment should be part of the tech they use.

So the domain experts of soil..the ones who actually have dirty hands by working in the soil should be the ones who help create the tech. Right now, wrong allocation of responsibility to skill is what’s not working.

Farming is intuitive. A farmer tries to maintain the soil and make it better. Industrial Ag razes* down soil with each harvest and supplements With inputs and brute mechanical force, they bring soil back to a threshold that is bare minimum for cultivation. That’s why a farmer says that only sun, water and soil is needed to grow food. Industrial Ag needs inputs, machinery and data.

As a small acreage soil focused farmer, I say that we need soil, water, sun...and tech. Tech that would replace manual repetitive labour ..labour costs that is killing our profits can be boosted by small acreage automation/mechanization.

*i like to illustrate this with a personal example. When I wanted to redo my garden, I wanted to move a couple of structures, add a fountain, plant a few trees, remove some vegetation and put down a walking path with pavers.

When I called a landscape architect, he said that we will have to remove everything, create a blank slate and implement the landscape design.

That is the difference between farmers and industrial Ag.

"(...) made some decisions that were “significant setbacks for civil rights"

Which civil rights? Whose? Is the claim that you have to shut people up in order to protect people's feelings, or is it that you have to protect the dim witted from dangerous ideas? Is it that people are herd animals who will inevitable follow whoever signals the most followers, so we need to prevent bad people from signalling? This particular case isn't one of bot spam, its a real person making real(ly dumb) statements.

Facebook's obsession with free speech is one of the only good things about the company. I said it in another thread: they should be boycotted, but not for this.

YouTube app on Android supported this some time ago. If you were playing a video and then wanted to go to some other app, a small floating window appeared with that video playing.

It was then locked away behind YouTube Premium, and now YouTube (non-premium) occasionally bugs you to pay for the premium when you try switching to another app so that you can continue playback.
The market reality was that it had only two customers operating only two routes for much of that time whilst most of the aircraft those customers had essentially been given sat on the ground. And it wasn't for lack of unsuccessful experimentation with other routes.
It depends on the package.

Some folks want the newest and brew might update faster than Debian, e.g., Cmake was at 3.10 on Ubuntu for the longest time but Brew had it at 3.15.

Me personally, I've run into waaaaaaaaay too many issues trying to run more than one package manager. The best solution I've encountered: use the native package manager first, and if you need a new version of something, build it manually BUT SAVE THE BUILD DIRECTORY for uninstall.

(My favourite bug was autoconf tools requiring dependencies that were mixed between brew and macports: each one required the other to be first in the PATH!!)

Lots of the comments are talking about this as an MIT/Harvard issue. To be clear, MIT and Harvard are the first to file suit, but this radical policy by ICE dramatically affects every college and university, and every international student, in the country. And the suit seeks to strike down the policy altogether, not get an exemption for these two schools.

This is not about Harvard and MIT at all, except insofar as they wound up being the ones with the position and deep pockets to most quickly file a strong suit to stop it.

Is that true? I didn’t think they had an api for search anymore. Maybe they use these guys? https://serpapi.com/
Looks nice, thanks for sharing.
I do find the three pieces of configuration to be inconsistent however. The first two have you flip a switch _on_ to turn something _off_. "Turn Off Quick Directs" and "Turn Off Deep Searching" would probably be better as "Quick Directs" and "Deep Searching" where the toggle defaults to the "on" state. They look very similar to iOS controls so I think the users' understanding of on/off state is already there.

As for the third option "Strict Search On", "On" seems redundant at best and misleading at worst. Misleading because I'm not sure if the text is going to change when I toggle the switch. Meaning I don't know if this is a static label telling me what the setting is or a dynamic label telling me what the current state is.

In summary, I would make the button text more consistent and change their default states:
[x] Quick Directs [x] Deep Searching [] Strict Search

As a side note, the controls are different on the main page vs the result pages. On the homepage they are switches while on the results pages they are check boxes.

What will the US government's content policies be if the politics turn in favour of silencing people? Remember the sedition laws when everyone was worried about Communism? What about satanic groups (usually aetheist groups, see The Satanic Temple) during the satanic panic in the 90s? Gay people only a few decades ago might not be welcome either due to 'family values' arguments.
There is a growing number of Chinese students who graduate from top Chinese universities or return to work in China after their US education. The US may hold a dominant position right now, but that lead is fading and the unwelcoming attitude towards immigrants is driving the best and brightest back home. This is especially true in engineering (vs academia where US still has a huge advantage), where there has been an explosion in Chinese tech companies who pay salaries competent to US tech companies when adjusting for CoL. It’s therefore not surprising that in the last decade we saw many rising Chinese companies like TikTok, Xiaomi, Tencent make waves even in American markets. In the next decade, if the US fails to capture the brightest minds of the world, we could see China start to become a viable alternative to the US, especially for tech workers.

I find it interesting that many people hold so tightly onto the "it is not native unless it is written entirely in %my_favorite_language%". I think a little controversy is good, but what the heck does native mean anymore? Wasn't it really invented as a kind of "shaming" because front-end developers were never considered "real programmers" and when hybrid apps came out some folks felt the need to line their pockets with this differentiation?

Don't get me wrong, I am very well acquainted with the tragedies of JS - and the propensity of amateurs to just "do it all" in a single-threaded webrenderer. In fact, I think that this is why most of the first and second generation "web-apps" built on cordova and electron were such poor performers.

But nevertheless, what we are trying to do with Tauri is to open up the boundaries between development communities and leverage the particular strengths of each of them. So if you don't feel Tauri is "native" enough, then maybe you are missing the point.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

If your immediate reaction to statistics (which I am not claiming the accuracy of, by the way, since you provide no sources) is "oh, it's because they're black" then congratulations, you're a racist!

Furthermore, the protests have not died down, there have been events that sparked more protests in more places. They're just not being reported as much because "oh well that's old time to move on to the next thing", says the media.
I should clarify, I'm using Windows, which normally doesn't have either of those, except for maybe cygwin or WSL.
That’s what I thought too. The really tiny number of other flights illustrates how much air traffic has diminished. Fascinating.
The data doesn't back up your claims. The only Americans who are "losing" jobs to foreigners are males who didn't graduate high school. In every other category, it can be shown that immigrants only add to the workforce, they don't replace it.
And they never let down!
You can’t register a .com for more than 10 years.
While that’s true in the general case, there’s some rules of thumb that get you most of the way there. Use GET for read-only, side-effect-free operations and POST for everything else. Return 2xx for success, 4xx for “client error”, and 5xx for “server error”. Use Swagger to document payload formats and expected response codes. Getting too much farther beyond that is a slippery slope that leads straight to the REST hobgoblin, who is a mere distraction from the dragons a service owner actually needs to battle.

I firmly believe this is being done to damage the reputation of the USA as an immigrant friendly country in order to induce a major brain drain while also stemming the flow of Chinese students away from the mainland.
Damn, that's me in 10 years. I'm so bad at my job that my only hope is that I go by unnoticed long enough so my time in the company becomes a strong reason not to fire me. It's been almost two years so far. The thing is I really try to improve, and in some ways I even do, but at a painfully slow pace. Even though I've been in this company for nearly two years I've been working as a software developer since 2012. And it hurts so much to see people coming fresh out of college outperforming me by orders of magnitude. It makes me feel really stupid. But is a really well paying job in a somewhat big company, so I hold onto the hope that if I don't screw up things too much my employers won't even acknowledge my existence. In the end I only feel bad for the people I work with (not those I work for) because they are nice and talented people and it must suck to work with someone that lowers the team's bar.

As a tutorial for using Splitgraph, this seems unobjectionable. Even the title doesn't bother me in that context.

But the title in hn is off-putting - agree it feels like misleading marketing.

And yeah, I agree it'd be nicer to have an honest to goodness breakdown of FDWs. Where they came from, how they work under the hood, how to set one up from the bottom up, what the tradeoffs and pitfalls are, etc.

Oh, I already “know” all of these things (I’ve been doing web development since the mid 90s). But it seems like as soon as I start to get a decent grasp on a technology, a new version comes along, or it is replaced by something new, or my boss/company directs me to use this other technology, or the industry as a whole moves. SVN > GIT, jQuery > Angular > Vue/React, JS > ES2015, managing our own servers > the cloud, etc. Jack of all trades, master of none.

from my anecdotal experience: having anything other than a hard redirect entirely misses the point of this feature. A click or waiting 10 seconds pretty much nullifies all the benefit. I think an opt-out is the best way to go. Any technical enough user that is bothered by it should be competent enough to disable it or be aware what happens when they are trying to get general information.

People respond to incentives.

As the author puts it, many a developer gets hired and eventually they "entrench themselves into some niche in an organization and collect a huge paycheck because no one around them, including them, realizes that they can do a lot better".

In my experience, that is what does happen. There is no incentive to do better, and the paychecks in IT happen to be pretty large.

I progressed the most as a software developer when I wanted to be hired again after striking out on my own for a bit.

What I learned from striking out on my own was that my software development knowledge and abilities may have worked in previous contexts but not where I wanted to be as a next step of my career. While I could have been promoted at a previous job that wouldn't have proven anything on the open job market. This is probably where a lot of dissonance often occurs. People are Senior or Lead developers at one place for a long time then suddenly are out of a job and cannot find another one.

So I worked hard to improve in a number of ways because I was highly incentivized to do so - there was no "current position" to fall back on.
That analogy is REALLY stretching...

It's not knowing how to "ride" all of those.. it's knowing how to "FIX" all of those. And that's where it gets tricky, while each might be similar in some way (they have wheels and maybe an engine), the vast devil is in the details.

Nobody wanted. It's just that the technology to make it less expensive didn't exist. Better engines and more range could help a bit, but it'd still be more expensive than cramming a lot ot people inside a 747.
Pricing would have to change so that $5/year * infinity = (new price) * 4% compounding interest * infinity. That is possible to do, but it would be expensive.

(Nobody is going to give up their $5/year just because it's hard to get people to renew the domain. As losing blogspot.in showed, someone was willing to pay when Google couldn't be reached to give them a working credit card.)
I don't know how to engage your argument exactly because I think it's flawed but please note this independent audit was requested by Facebook itself and one of the problems they found is that a phone call with the CEO of the company can do lots for hate/fake speech that had been at least flagged by competitors. You can understand this asymmetry, I'm sure. If Facebook wants to be better at civil rights and request an audit to point out their flaws about it, well... I think that's exactly what happened.

It's complicated. The kids whose parents pay for full tuition (or for a new building) subsidize the cost of attendance for the rest of us. I definitely couldn't have afforded to go without my financial aid package.

And that's supposedly part of the value proposition of elite schools - mix wealthy and connected students with bright students with ideas.

There's plenty of international students on financial aid too, I think it's doing them a disservice to say they're only being admitted for the revenue. Maybe at larger public institutions with tens of thousands of students, but I don't think that's generally the case at the smaller elite schools we're talking about
