I'll grant that some people overpay for some types of education because of loans that shouldn't be available. But it could be simpler still. Contrary to the typical contrarian viewpoint, a college education costs a lot because it is very valuable. American schools are filled with excellent foreign students that pay the premium rate, and receive no state support. Why? Because it's a great value.

Technology has created a two tier economy, hollowed out in the middle. If you don't get a good degree, you'll just free fall down to whatever happens to be left in your region, and you'll still be biting your nails every day waiting for technology to make your skills obsolete.

I think @pmarca's admonition to build, build and build some more is part of the solution. We have to find technological applications besides building a monopoly and taking over an industry. There's really a lack of imagination on our part.
Is this through first-hand experience? I am tempted to give this a go.

Absolutely. I have a laptop with a 1080p screen that's like 15-inches and a 27-inch 1080p monitor that I connect to it.

When I scroll in MS Word, there is this insane black tearing across the white surface when I scroll, but only on the laptop monitor.

>Universality, High Quality, Low Cost, choose two

Incorrect. Most of Europe as well as Canada spend less money, on average, per student as the US, have universal systems, and are (very) high quality.
> really such good value?

Depends upon how you measure value.

If you can get something better for the same money or a little more, then sure they are good value.

Even if you want something not as powerful or new, these will just send all the older card values down, so for that - these are great value.

Now if you was a TITAN buying type, the GTX3090 is definitely good value.

As for node shrink and how much is it a factor; Would need to factor in clock speeds and memory bandwidth, then need to compare exact comparable features. It's a muddy path. More so with the bigger gotcha that the 12nm node was TMSC and this 8nm node is Samsung, so hard to say, but over the months, reviews will have a good stab at it. Though for me, GamersNexus on YT would be the review I'd be looking for in the weeks ahead.
In Florida, we see hurricanes as some of our only excitement each year. People take their plants and furniture in, stock up on gas and water, and then if it doesn’t hit it or isn’t that bad, mostly it feels like a disappointment. Historically we’ve gotten used to rebuilding things pretty quickly after a bad one. Plus, many buildings are engineered specifically to withstand hurricane force winds. So yeah, I’d rather live in a hurricane prone area in FL with a decent history of rebounding quickly than in California where an earthquake could strike at any moment and people generally just pretend they don’t happen.
"Ultra Violence" is such a silly term. Anyway, cops don't response to those cases you mentioned by crush skulls. Anyway, the people you send to deal with those cases have to be ready for the worst otherwise you are risking their lives. I don't think you will be able to find people want to go deal with those situation without any backup or deterrence.
You're implicitly assuming that accepting the Wager means "losing" your one and only life. OK, it depends on your utility function, but most religious and techno Wagers don't require immediate martyrdom.
Big Yikes. B should give all that money she earned right back to the sex workers and only fans people she ripped off.
Unions can (and, if they're strong and it's not prohibited, often do) make collective agreements with the employer that mandate that the employer will not be permitted to employ non-union workers for these jobs. In a "closed union shop" you'd be required to join the union when you're hired, and if you would not join or if you would get kicked out of the union, the employer would have to fire you. This is pretty much 'forced unionisation'.

Another possible part of such collective agreements is that the employer will withhold union dues and hand them to the union no matter if the employee wants to join or not; to prevent the 'free rider' effect where some employees get the benefits of collective bargaining without paying for the representation (the appropriateness of this argument can be debated, but that's at least the stated intent).

In about half of USA ("right to work" states) such agreements are illegal, and in about half of USA unions can have such practices.
When you consider the totality of costs, inside and outside taxes, European healthcare and education is significantly cheaper for comparable or better outcomes.
Not if everyone else uses it too
It's expensive because people can pay for it and we know they can because they do.

All this talk about debt is mostly a non issue in real life but generates a lot of heat online. American jobs pay vastly more than any other country on the planet and paying back the debt is quite easy. Otherwise people wouldn't keep enrolling. From a European point of view, US taxes are low, salaries for professionals are sky high, utilities (gas, electricity) are cheap, consumer goods are cheap.

Of course, you'll have difficulties if you majored in art history or archeology, but that's also true everywhere.
People say that, but it's not really true. Tuitions are lower-tier schools are also extremely high; the tuition break doesn't happen until you get out of accredited 4-year universities and into community colleges.
Why do you recommend?

Because that's how you get paid or is there actually a value add here I'm not seeing?

"Tighter integration" and stronger vendor lockin isn't actually a selling point for anyone but the seller.

I'm not sure I buy the "better reproducibility" line either, whats better here?
This is not a good position. What you would get is vigilantism instead as people take matters into their own hands.
At my previous company we discarded the AWS-Linux distro and used rancherOS for container hosting because the version of yum they used was too flaky. They were unwilling to move to DNF to try and fix it. We've long badgered them for something like this (rancher style AWS-Linux dsitro) and they seem to have finally listened. Too bad, I moved to a different company and a different role to benefit from this. At least my old colleagues will be happy

How does this not burn his legs off?
Most unions try to act in solidarity with labor in general, through organizations like the IWW and the AFL-CIO. Police unions aren't labor unions, as the role of police in society is to enforce the current capital distribution. This is counter to the goals of the rest of the labor movement, and there's currently a push to boot the IUPA from the AFL-CIO.
Wait. You're comparing total cost in France, to cost at the point of use excluding taxes in the US. Education in public in-state universities is also highly subsidized.

Ah, my bad: In the post I was replying to, I thought you were saying that all of the permutation were enumerated and tested for — which we can all agree is terrible.

I now understand you mean that the directory is in fact scanned (and filenames compared in a case insensitive manner) once a miss occurs. Which is what I was hinting at.

Apologies, I misunderstood your post — and my reply could have been clearer also.

Wow, even their revenuers skate to where the puck is going.
If I know it's FIFO - I come as early as I can.

This way I both struggle myself (as I never want to go there that early) and harm the others' comfort and convenience by occupying the place, making the queue longer. People also tend to conflict, fighting for their place in the queue (I had to witness and to participate in too many queues in my life, people become nasty there).

If I know it's random I come whenever I'm comfortable.
I have a friend in France who is getting an art education for free. Is she going to be in debt for her whole life? I don’t think so. Yes, some jobs pay very well in the US, but not all of them. Average job often pays enough for rent and living expenses plus a little bit. Student debt has interest and people end up paying that interest for many many years.

I’m writing in the declarative, affirmative tone, but it is only my understanding.
> For protestors, ANY property damage is seen as invalidating the whole movement as “violent extremists and lawlessness.”

This is not a universal opinion, nor is it universal among people who think most cops aren't murderers. When you say the standard isn't equally applied, who is the person or group applying it?

AWS-Linux is so slow because of old packages that the new OS is guaranteed to be faster. It has a recent kernel & containerd. Podman would have made it even faster.
Condemning all unions because some stupid idiots dropped a concrete block one someone? Are you a Pinkerton?

As for the union "goons" well it's safe to assume that the people doorknocking are going to be the ones who haven't been driven away by random verbal and physical attacks.
See other comments. That may be the case, but it's wrong to frame it as "free" vs "paid".

I am not at all sure I want my mind copied.

It is very hard to destroy or even contain all copies of information. Thus, I find it very plausible that if a copy of my mind is created, at least one copy will be effectively enslaved or tortured.

Possibly more copies would find themselves in heaven than in hell, but how we weight that tradeoff is subjective, and I'm a bit of a pessimist so I would prefer not to take the risk, thanks. (Especially since as a Christian I believe my original mind is likely to reach God's heaven.)
Wal-Mart wants $98 a year to tell me they are out of stock, don’t ship to my area code, and I need to come to them? Prime Video alone is worth the cost of Prime, never mind that Amazon sells everything I want and need, and ship it to my home next day for free. I did my first Amazon Fresh order recently, loved that they used frozen water bottles to cool perishables, got fresh bread for the first time since the pandemic started. Now if the liquor stores will just deliver - there are 19 liquor stores within a three mile radius of me, only three have web sites, only one delivers (and only through Drizly), selection is limited. Amazon UK ships alcohol, hopefully US will too one day.
This will leave an enormous black hole in news discovery.

That's backwards logic though. It might appear to be true in the short term but it doesn't mean that people are actually capable of sustaining the growth in the rate.

And as for the debt being easy to pay back, it kind of sounds like you're in a programmer debt and salary bubble.
I wasn't trying to make an exhaustive list, and my comment is likely to be controversial enough as it is, but if you need it mentioned, then fine - marxism-leninism/communism bad.

For general object-oriented programming and working with lists/sets, write your own versions of classic 2-D arcade games like Snake, Asteroids, Pac-Man, or Breakout. You can use simple geometric shapes and any drawing framework if you don't want to create complex graphics.

Conway's Life, Notakto (2-D arrays)

Frequency-based cipher analysis (easy application of hash tables)

Password cracking (hashing)

Search engine for the plays of Shakespeare: given a word, return the text locations where it occurs (implementing and constructing an index data structure)

Predictive text generators

Simulating queues and theme park rides (priority queues, event-driven simulation)

Stack-based programming language interpreter (stacks, postfix arithmetic, simple lexical analysis)

Generating mazes by building spanning trees (graphs, greedy algorithms)

Spellchecking (using dynamic programming for edit distances)

Writing an interpreter is hard but will tie a lot of things together (lexical analysis, recursive parsing, trees, tree traversals)

I also second the recommendation for coding a simple game like Tic-Tac-Toe or Nim and writing a search-based AI opponent. Great for developing proficiency with recursion.

> Nobody cares about Podman except Red Hat and their most loyal fans. I'd be surprised if podman has managed to steal more than 1% of Docker's install base.

This seems dismissive. Podman has many neat features that docker doesn't (pods) or were added later (rootless containers).

These are also some languages I don't have much experience with, but that I'm very interested in getting to use at work: Rust, Haskell, Elixir and Smalltalk.

Do you mind sharing what industry you work in and how you got there?

I’ve worked on software in a few different industries, but the ones that needed particularly good reliability were mostly related to hardware deployed in challenging environments. For example, it’s never good to discover a bug in production when your firmware update process involves helicopters. :-) I’ve also worked on software that used quite intricate data processing algorithms, where any bugs could manifest as subtly incorrect behaviour that might not be noticed until it was too late and some serious failure had been caused.

I didn’t specifically pursue these kinds of projects, they just happen to be common themes in the roles I’ve taken over the years. In time, I developed an interest in tools and processes for producing software that is significantly more reliable than much of what our profession produces, yet not necessarily on the level of say threat-to-life or running-a-satellite code where extreme measures might be justified almost regardless of cost. I firmly believe that even with the inevitable pressures driving commercial software development, the standards in our business could be much higher than they often are today, and that much of the problem is due to people — developers, managers, users — not realising what else is achievable or what it would really cost.
Linux Cgroups v2 Brings Rootless Containers, Superior Memor
Big GUI apps don't need a big download packet, assuming a good "GUI browser" that can shift most domain logic to the server. Just make each window/form/panel an independent packet. An application can have say 5,000 forms, but if you only activate 30, then it only downloads 30 (plus a few reference files for constants and defaults. A pre-loading a larger set perhaps can be on option.)

Re: "As for "next browser breaks your stuff" excuse, I think it wasn't true for a very long time now."

I'm not convinced yet. It may be improved, but not solved (mostly because IE can finally be considered dead.) The current candidates have long learning curves, are version fragile, or both. Corporate products tend to target specific browser(s) to reduce the version risk, but that's not really solving the problem, it's reliance on a mono-culture just like MS-Windows.

Regardless, IT still needs a stateful GUI markup standard, at least to help desktops be cross-platform. It would improve desktop standardization even if the Internet ends up ignoring it. The X Window System is a useful idea, but is designed for LAN's instead of WAN's and internet, partly because it doesn't buffer UI i/o, creating too much interaction latency.

The Debian ML policy linked above goes a fair way to making truly open source deep learning models. The biggest problem with the policy is they do not address the economic disparity that means only folks with a lot of money can train a model even if they had all the training software, drivers and source data under a free license etc. Perhaps Debian can get enough donated compute time that we can solve this though.

The products of compilation seem to be copyrightable, otherwise software piracy wouldn't be prosecutable. Perhaps the same would apply to trained models.

Do you have a link to those fair use rulings? Also note that fair use is an American concept and doesn't apply in many countries, some of which have similar but more restricted concepts. Also, I wouldn't consider a model produced under your example as a free model, that would be more of a ToxicCandy model in the Debian ML Policy parlance.
Any discussion of rising tuition costs omitting the elimination of government subsidies is myopic at best.
There's also the fact that for a small minority of people spending $200 on photos is basically nothing.

I like my money too much to part with it, but realistically if I were to value my time rationally paying $100 for takeout would be a worth while trade when I look at how long cooking takes. Then if I am willing to spend $100 on food, why not on something else I might enjoy?

As I said, I don't, but that feels more like a character preference for investment/hoarding instead of any rational cost/benefit analysis.
