When I was in a junior high computer skills class (e.g., basic typing with Mavis Beacon =)), the teacher in that class introduced me to the high school teacher. I told him how I had learned to do basic stuff with C using a book and a copy of Visual Studios 6 (I think) my Uncle gave me. I must have seemed like an anomaly, as he gave me the text book on C++ they used for AP computer science.

Fast forward a couple of years and now I am taking classes with that high school teacher. I took classes with him every year of high school, now that I think about it. Anyways, he must have seen something in me, as he asked me if I wanted a job at a local school doing part-time system administration work. I was maybe 13-14 at the time and it was my first real job! He would even stay with me after school to help me understand topics I wasn't as familiar with (e.g., Windows Server 2003, AD, group policies, printer sharing, etc.).

I guess you could say that is what got me into IT, professionally at least. Probably around 10 years after that, I was still working in IT and I made sure to send him an e-mail thanking him for believing in me and inspiring me to pursue something I was passionate about.

As chance would have it, the e-mail I sent arrived at a particularly difficult time in his life (accident led to death of multiple children he mentored). He communicated with me about it and I believe my message may have helped him in some small way when he was going through a difficult time. I am sure I did not have nearly as much of an impact on his life as he did on mine, but I will always be grateful for having that teacher nearly 20 years ago.
> could decentralised water/power/sewer distribution scale?

Not with conventional implementations and funding, but yes, scaling is technologically feasible at this time. However in the US, getting people to learn the necessary skills and discipline to maintain such systems to the needed baseline operating standards will remain a significant challenge.

Water collection and sanitation could be automated into a closed-loop system, but I've yet to see a COTS solution. Even if you commercialized it, you just move problems around: there would be a significant waste stream of filtration cartridges to handle when scaled up, for example. Cradle-to-cradle design and implementation of such systems is neither easy nor cheap.

You don't need the portability of lithium chemistry batteries, so I recommend redox flow chemistries, with some kind of solid state magnetohydrodynamic pump if possible.

While there are more active septic designs for smaller properties, they're much more expensive, and require more maintenance to keep running. From speaking with septic engineers and techs over the years, Americans have awful habits in general around sewer systems, and a lot of that keeps the septic industry thriving. A sustainable on-site treatment of human black water into safe compost compliant as EPA Class A biosolids would require people be much more diligent about ensuring pharmaceuticals for example, don't make it into the composting stream and instead go to incineration. Even if people do that, it gets expensive on a small scale. Or we come up with ways to automatically sample and test each individual deposit for pharmaceuticals. Which again, adds expense and more maintenance.

I have no doubt we can engineer the shit out the technical problems. I don't have good solutions for the assholes who are The Reason We Can't Have Nice Things, other than isolate myself into a Dunbar Number of like-minded and build our own systems.

Grids arose for a number of good reasons, and the systems design issues surrounding decoupling from them at scale are pretty thorny.
Ask HN: How do we realistically begin improving the integrity of online reviews?
This is a very complicated question, but one that I think most users of the Internet, especially during the pandemic, would be interested in solving. How do we realistically fix the issue of not trusting online reviews anymore? Is there any way to counteract the fake ones, and is the general population becoming better at spotting them?
I think most of the $8k is for roads. Wells (shallow wells certainly) will go dry if an entire suburb is drawing on the spring. Sceptics... With enough houses, someone somewhere will have a stinky one, but these could probably work. I doubt most suburbanites wants one.

Power... IMO, we're just not there yet. Maybe close, but even most rural homes use central power.

There might be some stuff that can be imported, but without more info it's hard to know what matters.

In 1996 I went back to college for an MIS degree. I was switching from technical entertainment, audio engineer mostly for TV, theatre, concerts. That fall I got a gig as a help desk tech for one of the medical school departments. Working IT with doctors in the 90's was, entertaining ... Very smart people that couldn't deal with the complexity of a pc and Windows 95.

The next summer a friend asked if I could get him an account on the University's VMS system. I didn't think that was a good idea so I went in search of an alternative. Several tries later and I have been a Debian user ever since.

In early 1998 I parleyed that gig into a staff sysadmin role with the department after I hired my boss. Used that to move states and started into my fastest career growth year, 1998, with a 347% pay increase over 4 roles. Ended the year as a network/server group supervisor and Solaris admin. It has been a fun trip since.

The foot-in-the-door moment was in the fall of 1996. I was in the lecture portion of an Intro to Computers required freshman course. This was my third go at college and things had changed since I went a few years before. The lecture was on the history of computing and the lab was how to use MS Word. I happened to have been reading a computer history book and was firing off answers to the Profs questions as quick as he could ask them. He stopped mid-sentence and asked me if I wanted a job. Luckily I followed up.

I remember reading a study that asserted the best predictor of success is if your teacher believes you're capable. Teachers were told a group of students we're 'gifted' and those students ended up improving more than their peers. Unfortunately, all students were randomly assigned to either the gifted, or non-gifted groups.

Actually being brilliant is much less important than if someone believes in you.
Hi Daniel! I use my own name for my channel: https://youtube.com/AndreasKling

It has worked well for me so far, since my channel has some amount of personal content as well, and using my personal identity harmonizes well with that.

I think it depends a bit on what kind of content you want to do in the future. A specialized name/theme like “Barely Coding” can be good for building an audience interested in programming, but they might get turned off down the road if you suddenly start posting some new kind of content.

Either way, good luck with your channel! :)

Not sure what my exact "start" was... My mom was a computer programmer in the 70s, and on days where my elementary school was out but she had to work, she'd bring me in to work with her, and plunk me down in front of a terminal to her work mini-computer. I remember playing the original Adventure, as well as some other simple games that kept 7 year old me busy all day.

When I was in 5th grade, my teacher was taking classes for her masters at the local university, and was given an apple II to take to her classroom. I stayed after school every day for the month she had the computer, and worked on projects in Logo.

In middle school, we had an Apple II clone (Franklin Ace 1000), and I would type in games from magazines. That's how I learned to program. I was a terrible typist, and would always have bugs that I had to figure out. I eventually started modifying the games on purpose, and doing that became more fun than actually playing the games.

When I was in college in the late 80s / early 90s, I idolized our CS department sysadmin, who sat in a dark office, listening to cool music, and porting BSD to weird computers (DG Aviion). I was hooked, and decided I wanted a job like that. I bailed out of an MS degree program to take a sysadmin job. A few years later, I moved to a job as research staff in the CS department, where I got to write device drivers for high speed network cards and eventually got paid to port FreeBSD to the DEC Alpha.
This is not true. It connects to open wireless and updates your software and probably ads. There was a post on here a while ago about it which I can't find from a preliminary search.

Quotation from the paper:[1]

> I find that the gender bias does not differ by teachers’ gender in literature, and only marginally in math. In this subject, female teachers are less biased in favor of girls than male teachers

So adding more male teachers might marginally increase the discrimination rather than decrease it.

>Even simple enough math starting from formal axioms are incomplete (Godel) [1]. Real world ethics, starting by ethical assumptions will be 1000 times as full of holes and inconsistencies.

Just because a mathematical system like set theory is incomplete (can't prove its own consistency), that doesn't mean it's "full of holes and inconsistencies". And just because a system cannot prove itself consistent, doesn't mean it can't be proven consistent in some larger system (for instance how we can use ZFC to prove that Peano arithmetic is consistent).
Are you sure you want microservices?
Girls typically abandon STEM at the high school / undergraduate level. I do not pretend to know all of the factors that go into that, but one such reason I have heard is that the gender bias in STEM tends to strongly favor boys at this level and perhaps a bigger component to that is not the teachers' bias, but the bias of peers and society that students at the high school level will be increasingly aware of.
This sounds very foolhardy. Why not save the money in case? In the (IMHO) highly unlikely situation that the system collapses, you'll have a pot of money you can spend on something else.

I'm definitely not denying the Holodomor or any of Stalin's crimes. But unfortunately some of the people who are most adamant about spreading information about the Holdomor are not doing so to spread information about the atrocity, but rather to spread their own anti-semitic propaganda.

u/soccer was a moderator of r/911truth and, according to archived versions of their user page, posted quite a lot of links to "Israel did 9/11" conspiracy websites like https://careandwashingofthebrain.blogspot.

This administration won't do it, simply because Russia has more leverage over Snowden's cultural influence while he's unpardoned and in exile. The next administration won't do it, because Biden was in Obama's administration during Snowden's original actions.

If splitting a string is an important optimization point in your program, neither language is a good choice.

Again, you say "caught red handed" like it was something he was doing secretly. What he did was change every instance of "fuck /u/spez" to "fuck the /r/the_donald mods".

He did this because he lost patience in the face of mass online harassment. He immediately apologized.

I just wanted to make clear to anybody passing by - who wants to know what actually happened - that the narrative you are pushing is not supported by evidence. Of course, if you are prepared to "who knows" something without evidence, then in the world of digital information you can suppose practically anything.
Apple has enough incentive to do it now because Windows on x86 is something people actually want/need to use. It doesn't cost much to support and probably sells a bunch of Macs. Windows on ARM is not really something people would want to use, not to the enormous extent people want to to use Windows on x86.

Speaking from what people expect from a "Windows PC" - Windows on a current MacBook makes a decent Windows PC. Windows on a future MacBook makes for a very poor Windows PC that will make customers regret their purchase.

Apple currently uses standard PC architecture, with identical CPUs, GPUs and Wifi chips to standard PCs, and a (sort of) standard EFI booting mechanism. With ARM Macs, it won't. Clearly Apple in its hardware design is already not invested enough to support Windows - they could use standard EFI on ARM, for example. So why would they spend a lot of money to do it in software, so people can run a "crippled" version of a competitor's OS?

Note I don't actually believe Apple will actively lock this down. I do believe we will get native Linux on these things to some extent. But I do believe Apple will not lift a single finger to make alternative OSes happen on ARM Macs. Apple only cares about macOS and virtualization. I also think Windows on ARM is a great product, but I also know that common people that just want to use a Windows computer won't agree with me.
Since Global West "more" has delivered destruction of the biosphere, I'll also long for contemplative humanity not colonial.
Assyrians liked to pile heads ... very effective psychologically

I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword. I carried off prisoners, possessions, oxen, [and] cattle from them. I burnt many captives from them. I captured many troops alive: from some I cut off their arms [and] hands; from others I cut off their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of many troops. I made one pile of the living (and) one of heads. I hung their heads on trees around the city, I burnt their adolescent boys [and] girls. I razed, destroyed, burnt, [and] consumed the city.

The fact that the article states that this happened to several bars, all in Grenoble suggests that there is probably more than meets the eye. There is a lot of mafia activity in Grenoble and bars (as well as pizzerias and night clubs...) are notorious for being fronts and for whatever other dodgy activities.

I would not be too surprised if the bars in question have links to the criminal world and the police simply used whatever hard evidence of wrongdoing they could find to bring them down or perhaps as a way to gain further access to documents, etc. I'm pretty sure that a bar owner "unknown to police services" (as they say) would simply receive a warning that logs must be kept, at least at first.

Mobile is dominated by cost. Qualcomm, Samsung, AMD have all tried their hand at good ARM processors but the perf gains and costs have never been good enough to sell mass market devices. Apple is the only one remaining, and they spend a lot per chip... it would be about as expensive as an Intel chip, if not more expensive, if sold separately.

ARM is not a panacea.
That's probably why they said "it's harder to oppress people with guns, so they do it less" and didn't add "and if it is hard to oppress people that makes you effective".

Basic "necessary but not sufficient" thing here.

The counter-example would be places where armed people are kept under the boot by those in power anyway, where the government is very effective at oppression.

edit: unless you are equating "able to do things that make citizens want to shoot you" with "effective"? I'm assuming you misunderstood, which is the charitable reading.

If women freely choose to pursue other areas of interest - no matter the area's importance or the women's interests - we've reached the point where the only acceptable cause to claim is "sexism".

It's disappointing because it takes away agency and becomes a form of control.
I hope more people read what you wrote. While I do think some people actually can do this on their own, everyone is different. When people have profoundly positive experiences on psilocybin or other substances, it can be tempting to feel they've tapped into some kind of universal truth and they naturally want to share that with others. Psychedelics affect people differently at different times and it's certainly not always a beautiful trip into cosmic consciousness and love - even at low doses. It's cliche, but set and setting matter, especially to measure any kind of clinical benefits.

The English that Europe uses is so mangled that English speakers can't understand it. It often means the exact opposite of what is intended, sometimes dangerously so (see 'so-called' for example.) This leads to less understanding, rather than more.
