Except this only reinforces the current environment.

Anyone with experience in teaching environments knows girls are way worse at ostracizing successful students.

It’s very interesting to me the claim that boys are quitting because there’s too much competition, because my experience is the complete opposite. The only thing that makes boys quit competing in my experience is either seeing the competition as pointless (“bad boy” attitude) or realizing that the competition is not fair.

A lot of teachers are unaware as to how smart some kids can be. I’ve seen kids swap their names in tests just to validate the hypothesis that their language teacher was assigning grades based on who wrote what (which, having seen their numbers, looks like it was indeed happening).
I'm not sure - I'm sure it is possible. I do know that basements are not common in central Texas.

Near the hills there's a ton of limestone, and farther east I think there's a lot of clay. Both make digging (or sealing) a basement more expensive then in other parts of the country.

There is no solution without ending the war, and there's no solution to that without addressing the forces keeping it going. It's like many of the Cold War conflicts, a proxy for wars not being fought with Russia.
Yeah, and in the end, you can export it as a word or PDF document.

Holy hell, what a tragedy. I used to write markdown and have pandoc typeset a pdf in the company design. Now I have word.
As discussed above - despite widening the goalposts to include any article with 'women' and 'engineering' in the title, there is now only one such article which matches the popularity of this one - and based on the trajectory, that is unlikely to remain the case.

PyPy volunteers are being too nice asking for a couple of thousand dollars. Don't be afraid to ask for enough money to support development and maintenance for this new platform, purchase the hardware, as well as earning replacement income for opportunity loss. $50K minimum is more reasonable. Get the funding you deserve from these free riding companies using the software.
If I remember correctly names on applications that are traditionally more likely to be given to a black person is still considered less qualified on an identical resume than a name that is traditionally given to a white person. I don’t know if sending photos with your resume is still practiced in the USA (I think it is illegal in the UK) but if that is still the case than gender and ethnicity are still very much on the average job application.
I don’t think you are saying just because you haven’t experienced something means it can’t be out of the realm of possibility? And for it to be proven someone has to do the work specifically to convince you? Seems kind of evangelical, which is a foreign concept to me. But I’ll try, respectfully.

Perhaps you you look/act younger than others.

Or maybe others act/look older than you.

Or, maybe there’s people who exist who exaggerate the first difference between themselves and someone else to put distance between them for reasons like ego/insecurity.

Instead of a lens of doubt and putting the burden of others of having to educate you, it’s also possible to meet half way and ask.. what else could this mean that I’m not seeing? Our brains tend to find what we put attention towards.

Either way I hope that helps and no offence intended.
Your school library was mostly fiction? That's bizarre. Our school library probably had more books under the 500 section alone (pure science) than it had fiction. I went to the public library for fiction.
> and still have the worst covid-19 deaths

That's not correct.

First, over the course of the pandemic so far, California total deaths per capita are around 40th lowest among the states.

Second, if we just look at recent deaths rather than over the whole pandemic, they are also not anywhere near the top per capita.

They do have the worst or second worst new cases currently, which looks like it is peaking. That peak looks like it is going to be quite a bit lower than several other states had, though. California's third wave is higher than theirs now because they had their peaks 30-60 days ago.

The record holder in the US for new cases 1 week average per capita remains North Dakota, followed by South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Tennessee, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and then California.

Is there any country that makes weapons that doesn't sell them for a hefty profit? Hell, in the past decade the Americans have funded the death of their own troops by selling rocket launchers and bombs to the Saudis that are resold/handed out and used in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I recommend the 1980's "Deal of the Century" with Chevy Chase and Gregory Hines. It's a black comedy about the insanity of countries selling weapons to their own enemies.

We really need to HNify the Internet.

Not sure if possible, but a neural network based filter for browsers that enforces HN guidelines on your Google/YouTube searches, Amazon visits etc.
The filter may be called "Dang Filter".

Or we just need to create our own communities with HN guidelines. Making replacements for Stack Overflow, YouTube etc.

I really wish the Internet would be like HN.
My smaller team settled on Asana and I really like it. It's much more approachable than JIRA, and while not as powerful, much more so than Trello.

For a trip down memory lane—-for some of us old farts—-or just to play a “new” retro game, check out Nox Archaist [1].

What is Nox Archaist?
Nox Archaist is a new RPG for the classic Apple II platform, playable on Apple II hardware, Windows, and MacOS. It is an evolution of the classic fantasy games of the 1980s like Ultima, Bards Tale, and Wizardry.

> Fixing a bug or delivering a feature where you haven't documented the process, (how the criteria were decided, when it was tested and deployed) is as good a running a web site nobody visits.

Sorry but what? You might need to expand on this. As far as I'm concerned, when a bug is fixed then the value of that fix is realised by the users. I don't see how this is not valuable just because you manager didn't get to eyeball the ticket.
> The problem I had with KSUID is that they have a custom format, so not optimised in Postgres

As far as I'm aware, Postgres doesn't really have any "optimisations" for UUIDs. The type just provides some help for normalising and converting them to and from their canonical form.

The only DB I know of with actual UUID optimisations is MS SQL, and that would be a bit of a trap, because its optimisation is to re-order the bits so the timestamp part of a classic UUID is at the front when it's stored...which means trying to store a ULID as a UUID in MS SQL would actually be slower than storing it as plain byes.
There was a high school English teacher in our school that was known for sexism. I was in the “honors” version of her class along with a few other guys that apparently weren’t warned. We were all A students normally, but we all regularly got Cs in her class and it tanked my GPA. My favorite example is that we had to make a diorama based on the Iliad, and I did Polyphemus’ cave. I was marked down because it wasn’t colorful enough.
There were girls in the class that clearly weren’t “honors” material that got As. Another teacher’s daughter actually went and complained to the principal on behalf of the boys to no effect.
She finally retired this past year. I do senior photography and she’s been brought up by a lot of former students and they all talked about her sexism.
They applied in 1999. They were told what criteria to meet. They have not yet met them. This includes freedom and rule of law criteria.

Wise Man's Fear is also excellent. The Slow Regard of Silent Things was... interesting. I wouldn't say it was bad, but I definitely think it's a love it or hate it kind of book/novella. I liked it, but your enjoyment of it isn't necessarily a reflection of your enjoyment of the rest of the series.

Taming Transformers for High-Resolution Image Synthesis
Maybe people just try to do things they are interested in or care about and aren’t trying to scheme or gang up on others? I think if I were in such a position, I might see the process as too unegalitarian and want to change it. I wonder how one would get involved with changing such a thing.

You’re obviously able to organise in the workplace for basically whatever goals you want if you like (though in the US this organisation is only protected if more than one person is involved.)
I received a similar suggestion years ago from someone else, and it worked very well. It's effectively bigger discounts for longer & larger service plans up front. I found it effectively shifted the conversation from "How can I get a discount /beat you up on your price?" to "Ok, what is the right plan for our project"?

This is not quite like consulting/custom dev gigs, but has similar attributes. For purchases/subscriptions like yours, I've noticed that they often seem to create a tension between buying the two most likely to meet your needs - the longer higher-cost one is priced just low enough to be tempting. This probably indicates a lot of A/B testing of pricing, and decisions about whether you want to make it easier for your customers to decide, pointing customers to one plan or the other, what really drives higher purchasing levels and overall income.

Good luck!
True, but for many entities the time they were created is basically public information anyway - time of a tweet, date hacker news account was created, time blog post was published. It might leak more granular information than would be publicly available otherwise, but for many use cases it's not a security concern as far as I can tell
> common heritage of Turkish and Greek people.

What common heritage are you speaking of?

Edit: Who knew such benign question would trigger so many. I guess foreigners have a different understanding of what heritage means. Heritage doesn't mean being conquered and/or exchanging words, food, building, etc. Heritage implies "descent". Just because you eat sushi doesn't mean you and a japanese person have a common heritage. Just because native american buildings like the hogan are in the US doesn't mean we share the same common heritage as native americans.

https://study.com/academy/lesson/native-american-houses-fact...

We specifically say they are native american homes, not "american" homes because even though the natives were conquered, their heritage is different from ours.
I've been having loads of fun on FIFA 21. Once you lose a game, the only way to try it again is to start the match from scratch which really encourages you to get better at the game instead of memorizing the layout and enemy placements.
> If you care for your own health but not for the health of the people in the community you live in, then this makes perfect sense.

It's not that I don't care for the health of others, it's that I care more about the health of 98% of the population ( including mine and that of people I know ) that are more or less invulnerable to the virus than about the health of people that would die ( for the most part ) within the next few years from just about any cause, and that are not currently enjoying any quality of life nor contributing to society. It's a matter of proportionate and rational response. See Focused Protection.

I am for throwing everything we got for minimizing those deaths, up to a certain point and within what is reasonable.
In most cases, queues are going to be a lot faster than whatever they are feeding into. If you are doing something like sending every SQS message to a Lambda with infinite concurrency then, sure, but many queues are feeding into a compute or persistence layer of some kind.

Back-pressure here would mean that emitters of messages into your queue behave differently when there is an excessive number of messages waiting to be processed.

For example:

- If it's a job queue, load-shed less important jobs until the queue is healthy.

- If you are ingesting a high volume of messages, be more aggressive with batching them together before inserting as a single queue message.
I don't think there will be many left. There are some very powerful forces driving the blandification of all modern medium to high population cities. I would even argue that cities can be "cool" and "unique" only when the super-majority of the population doesn't want to live in them.

The market downturn earlier in the year made me withdraw more of my savings than I’d like (I try to stick to 3% annually), which was unpleasant, but could have been much worse.
The biggest difference is the inability to meet new and old friends. Getting COVID would be a death knell for me at my age. I’ve found myself sending more emails, and actually came across some old friends here on HN whom I got in touch with again. So just like you and a few other commenters, this community has been a boon for me.

Similarly, I hope you are doing well in these times. This is unlike anything I’ve seen in my lifetime, and there’s no doubt some people are taking it worse than others. Look at those around you, reach out occasionally, and try to keep high spirits. Despite a loud minority clamouring about vaccines and freedoms, the vast majority of us are in this together. Happy New Year!
> If devs aren't working on priority items

Define how something comes to be a "priority item", who decides, and what happens when JIRA does not reflect the actual priority as observed by devs? If the answer is "more JIRA" then you're already failing.
> There is very much a need for boys to have a space to be boys: where they can let their boisterousness out, where they can act a little crazy, or just act closer to their true selves etc. without having to worry about how they're perceived by the girls.

As the father of several boys, I agree. For anyone interested more in this concept, I recommend "Boys Adrift" by Leonard Sax (a psychologist) and "Boys Should Be Boys" by Dr. Meg Meeker (a pediatrician). Both books are very enlightening about some of the problems our boys face in America.

Personal Server Configuration with K3s
Jira sucks but it's not because of these reasons. In fact if you fixed each item here, it would be worse.

Jira sucks because it is unopinionated and infinitely customizable. As a result, everybody who believes they've discovered the perfect project management setup (spoiler: they haven't) is empowered to cook up their vision via an inscrutable set of customizations. This leads to a bunch of inconsistencies between projects and endless bikeshedding. I imagine all this dynamic configuration is also the reason their cloud hosted version is so painfully slow.

It doesn't drive for endless growth. It drives for endless improvements in efficiency, which are theoretically finite, but practically infinite.

Ridiculous budget constraints?

Washington DC public schools get more money per student than anywhere else in US.

My son's private school tuition is half what the average public school system in the US gets from taxpayers (local, state, and federal combined).

The spending efficiency of public schools in US is horrible, and they tend to focus on quantity over quality with teachers, due to a misguided idea of reducing student teacher ratios that Malcolm Gladwell has written about.

This constant excuse repeated everywhere about not enough funding isn't backed up by data.

I spent my entire childhood in public schools. 3/4 of my teachers were lazy shitbags who treated it like a govt job. The other 1/4 were punished every time they broke the mold in any way to fix things.

The day public schools realize that their primary role is educating kids OVER providing jobs to as many teachers union members as possible, we can start fixing them.
Considering it's a form of economics that a sizeable portion of HN think is best, it is not at all equivalent to randomly bringing up a topic that has long been held by most of society to be a bad idea and saying "just asking the question!".

It is broaching the topic in a way that doesn't automatically get upvoted by people who agree with it, or automatically downvoted by those who disagree.

I also wasn't asking a question. I was giving an actual example of the consequences of the economic system many HN'ers believe in.

This article is a review of Kaufman’s novel.

While the article was published before I’m Thinking of Ending Things, somehow it managed not to lose a single bit of relevance since the film came out—so much so, I could almost say it’s somewhat of a spoiler.

> The methods on `String` should be a strict superset of the methods on `str` because `String` dereferences to `str`

I've found that sometimes this doesn't happen automatically (at least when passing as an argument; maybe not when calling methods). i.e., you have to explicitly call .as_str() in some situations. Even as someone who's comfortable with the String/&str distinction and moderately familiar with Rust, it's not clear to me where this is and isn't necessary. The compiler just tells me when I make the wrong guess.
