Not at all! There are many "Ecole Normale" which are just schools for teachers. The "Superieure" refers to the fact that you have to pass a hard exam to get in. And once there you can do research or become a teacher in a preparatory school (which prepares you to do the ENS's exams, in a pyramidal way)
the 3-pointer by itself isn’t point-maximizing, and surely doesn’t assure victory. the point-maximization is only valid in the context of the current game aesthetics. if a team tried to shoot only 3-pointers, they’d almost certainly lose because the counter-defense becomes simple. only by mixing shot selection does the 3-pointer’s slight advantage matter, and it’s not enough of an advantage to trivialize the game. it does what it was meant to do, which is inject unpredictability/variety into both offense and defense, especially at the end of close games, for more interesting and exciting gameplay.

> [civil liberties are] foundational elements that can’t be removed without a collapse

By and large, civil liberties as defined haven't been removed. They've been superseded by higher levels of structure, because the Bill of Rights was narrowly framed as only applying restrictions to the bona fide "government".

The modern censorship movement is focused on tech middlemen, which as the refrain goes, are "private companies". Freedom from state surveillance wasn't laid out in the founding documents (although the spirit is there), but even so the state is just buying cooperative access from third parties - qualitatively "the state" is best seen as including Equifax, Lexis-Nexis, Google, etc, but legally they're "private companies". And criminal police are independent conspiracies that the state has simply decided to do nothing about, akin to (and seemingly descended from) historical lynching + jury nullification.

I don't necessarily know what a productive synthesis is, besides that legal fundamentalism won't get us anywhere. The problem is not straightforward decay, but rather a foundational framework that is increasingly inapplicable.
Likely has to do with the fact that if you want to build a community centre that has the capacity to serve your community in 30 years, you also need the budget of that community 30 years in the future. You can only build what you can reasonably afford, and unfortunately that isn't a building that you can grow into.
Reread the entire comment you replied to.
The article doesn't go into detail. I've been happy with messenger kids but for me the problem would be any ability to do likes on posted content. I think one of the big self-esteem killers of facebook is posting content with 3 likes while another kid posts the same content with 30 likes.

Also the option of potentially putting up content that mocks other kids. It's somewhat possible with messenger kids but the only information shared is between the few kids on a chat. If 3 kids chatting together make fun of a 4th, that sucks but that 4th kid is never going to see it. If kids Instagram mean everyone in a contact list is going to see the same content, that could be really damaging.

I don't know how many people watched "American Vandal", season 2. I don't necessarily recommend it in a vacuum, but it does an amazing job showing how much kids can be devastated by social media. When I was a kid, the popular kids could make fun of me ( and probably did ) but at least it wasn't in my face - or the face of the rest of the school so they could easily join it.

In theory. It will cost you a shitton of lawyer fees that might exceed the amount you lost, and you can also expect to be constantly harassed by the cops during and after the process, plus forget about ever getting help from them again if you need it.

I guessed that you're a biologist (or have some kind of bio fascination) given your account handle ;) I'm a molecular biologist myself (more on the comp. side) for the last decade. HIV is certainly a special case given it codes its own RT enzyme.

I get the sensitivity and the frustration --- the most minor, off-hand comment (such as the one I made) can potentially fuel all manner of conspiracy theory. I spent much of my morning dealing with a group of people on a shared group suddenly re-discovering the Plandemic documentary.

Yes exactly, I don't like this at all either.. I know I will get less absorbed in the story if I have to wait a month in between each chapter and in the end I'll just give up.
What kind of desktop do you have where your journal is constantly getting corrupted? Most distributions log both to the journal and to /var/log/, so I'm seriously struggling to understand the complaint here. GP's message about centralized logging is saying that if logs are that important to you, you will keep them stored in a centralized location. You should be able to catch the server on fire and have logs recorded centrally up until that point. This would be the case with or without journald.

You started with a strawman about caring about logs, and ended complaining about sysfs.

It isn't.
> You can't fix it all computationally.

Can't you? If you're dealing with known hardware, then you can apply a deconvolution. Blurring can literally be undone, people do it all the time. It's harder when you have to estimate the kernel, but much easier when you already know the lens's exact properties. Also when you apply it directly to RAW data.

So not exactly sure which information you're referring to you when say information is being lost?

Sure artifacts can be introduced from noise, etc., but that's all just tradeoffs. If a simpler lens is letting in more light, or you put money towards the sensor rather than the lens, the end result may well be better, no?

Anything over half a day would be substantial, but really I'd consider any post code review fix that takes longer than an hour to be a red flag that we're not communicating effectively.

Youtube Kids for the 7-13 group is terrible. Interesting harmless videos (mostly science related) are not available on Youtube Kids. The problem seems to be that the creator needs to label their video as kid friendly or it doesn't have a chance of being available on Youtube Kids.

Videos from channels like Cody's Lab, King of Random, Smarter Everyday and similar are not available on Youtube Kids. This wouldn't really be a problem if Youtube allowed parents to mark a channel or videos as OK for their children. But, it is an outright block for children under 13 with no capacity for discretion.
It depends on the level of familiarity you have with Linux distros. Alpine is simple, but it might be a bit hard to understand without first understand what each component does (e.g., initramfs, GRUB). In that case, installing a Linux distro via chroot method and get it up running as a desktop might be a better place to start. Alpine simplicity would makes sense after then.

Otherwise, I'd recommend installing Alpine in a VM and play with it for a week. On a lower level, alpine-base[1], alpha-baselayout[2], and alpine-conf[3] might be a point of interest. alpine-conf contains several scripts for bootstrapping the entire system (e.g. setup-disk/setup-bootable/update-kernel). Following what these scripts does can get very far into understanding how a distro is put together.

I'm reminded of Scott McCloud's abstract vs realistic dimension in Understanding Comics. Basically, abstraction allows us to focus on the relevant details, while realism adds a lot of details that aren't relevant to the use case (in this case, it's following the story/emotions). Here's a write up of that section of the book here (but the whole book is amazing!): https://theteachingtree.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/comics-and-...
Before obtaining his Nobel prizes, he first obtained his PhD in physics (under Eugene Wigner, no less).

That said, Bardeen taught as a professor of electrical engineering and as a professor of physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign from 1951-1975, so I think it's fair to call him both.

I think you are right that you'd expect them to be correlated. But I think we need to look deeper at mortality rates and the amount of sleep.

Its probably due to reverse causation. If you are ill then the best thing you can do is sleep, so ill people sleep more. Its not that sleep is bad. If those people only slept say 8h then their health outcomes would be much worse. Basically if you are sleeping 11h then you should be worried about an underlying medical condition, not from the actual amount of sleep itself

You'll be amazed how quickly odd bedfellows kicks in when you really consider that a police force by definition is essentially a socially sanctioned criminal organization.

We have proof that law enforcement can:

-Steal from you. (Civil Asset forfeiture, no warrant required)
-Apply excessive force with good odds of not having to explain themselves.
-Lie to your face.
-kidnap you
-Utilize illegal/unconstitutional investigation techniques, then launder the evidence through parallel construction.

We also have proof that LE is nowhere near as good or thorough as they should be regulating themselves.

The "I have nothing to hide" is spoken like someone who has never been on the wrong side of an automated, impersonal system before. It'sall fun and games and justifiable until it's you caught in the civil rights blast crater.

I'd prefer no one ended up as collateral damage. It is better criminals go free than innocents get caught in dragnets.
Show HN: The Stage
I doubt it. Based on the past year, many/most people would think it is fake news or some conspiracy to control them that they are too smart to fall for.

For others, they’ve seen so many aliens in video games, TV shows, movies, etc. that they will be blasé about it and complain that the aliens in video game X looked more realistic than the real thing.

Others will be interested for a day or two, then will move onto the next new thing on the news cycle.

Others will be so self absorbed by social media that they will only care if they can use footage to make TikTok memes.

Others will be know it all’s that will want to point out to everyone that they always said there was extra terrestrial life and everyone should acknowledge how smart they are.

Others will see this as a great opportunity to write a book in the hopes of striking it rich.

Others are just trying to scrape by and are too worn down, tired, depressed, etc. to pay any attention.

Many people live subsistent lifestyles and don’t have access to news feed to even know it happened.

I would expect exceedingly few to really give this sort of event the acknowledgement it deserves.
I keep waiting for the Python community to come to its senses and set asyncio on fire and start again...again. Everything that people do with asyncio is simpler and easier to follow using threads. The Thread/Process pool executors from concurrent futures were almost good interfaces, and then asyncio took a giant step backwards.

"I want this to happen in the background without blocking" should never have turned into this terrible dance of rewriting everything using new magic keywords so that you can then wedge it into an asyncio event loop. It's almost like developers have no sense of UX elegance.
The whole team definitely needs to buy into the full-day pairing/mobbing. I'm definitely more on the introverted side of the scale, and I can handle things as a daily thing, but I do need a break once an hour or so, and that's the sort of thing your pair-team needs to figure out.

And another thing that's super important to talk about is the metric you mention:

> can believe that some people can be productive with the distraction of someone else constantly there, but I'm nowhere near as productive as I am working on my own.

Productivity is an interesting thing in software. What is productivity? Is it writing code fast? Is that the most important thing you can do for your company/client?

Pairing and mobbing aren't necessarily performance-oriented, but more on transfer of knowledge. If you work in a company that just wants pure churn of new code without a large amount of knowledge transfer between members, then pairing is just a gimmick and not useful to that company. This is really a case of "use the right tool for the job" - pairing and mobbing won't always make sense if it conflicts with the goals and values of the company.
I have considered that. Nonetheless, the people who try the hardest to get money out of oppressive countries are typically the corrupt - they know that their rackets have an end date and they want an exit strategy when that happens. We shouldn't kid ourselves - this is who we are really helping here. It's the same people who buy luxury apartments in New York and London and leave them empty just in case.

I find it hard to believe that anything beyond a small minority of transactions are the "good kind of underground transaction".
I have done some pair programming. At my first job we sometimes did it when some problem proved especially tricky. Typically a tricky bug.

In some cases it's invaluable, absolutely. I just don't think that's a large percentage of the code written on a daily basis. For most tasks pairing seems to be either

1) one person tapping out simple code which practically writes itself while the other lazily nods along.

2) One person solving something tricky which happens to be their area of expertise while the other stares blankly. Maybe at that point it would be useful to explain things in detail, but that can make development take much longer and if something like this requires rethinking halfway it can be quite taxing. In that case, I would prefer waiting until it's done and compiling the result as an annotated review. Which can be a great forum for asking questions.
Fun fact: the ATF regulates even flashbangs in local/state police. You have to register them and report each used grenade. What a tumorous agency.

>People probably read more books. There were fewer other demands on attention, whether YouTube, social media, online content generally, etc. I certainly read books far less than I used to.

I'd imagine the number of books sold per year is strictly increasing.
I did mention Alexandre Dumas as a case study in a previous article. Here's a snippet:

"But there used to be another way. When Alexandre Dumas debuted The Count of Monte Cristo it was published as a feuilleton—a portion of the weekly newspaper devoted to fiction. From August 1844 to January 1846 his chapters were published in 18 installments for The Journal des Débats, a newspaper that went out to 9,000 to 10,000 paying subscribers in France—and readers were rapt by it.

In the forward to a 2004 translation of the book, the writer Luc Sante wrote: “The effect of the serials, which held vast audiences enthralled… is unlike any experience of reading we are likely to have known ourselves, maybe something like that of a particularly gripping television series. Day after day, at breakfast or at work or on the street, people talked of little else.”

It was basically “Game of Thrones.” Readers could not wait to get their hands on the next chapter and that bode very well for the writer who was not only paid by the newspaper in real-time for his work (by the word), but also grew the popularity of his work over the entirety of the time it was being published.

“The ‘Presse’ pays nearly 300 francs per day for feuilletons to Alexandre Dumas, George Sand, De Balzac, Frederic Soulé, Theophile Gautier, and Jules Sandeau,” Littell’s Little Age, Volume 10 wrote in 1846. “But what will the result be in 1848? That each of these personnages will have made from 32,000 to 64,000 francs per annum for two or three years for writing profitable trash of the color of the foulest mud in Paris?”

That “profitable trash” earned those writers an annual salary of between $202,107 to $404,213 in today’s dollars—and the obvious disdain of that Littell writer who, even then preferred the merits of a bound and published book. The same volume goes on to say that Dumas earned about 10,000 francs ($65,743 today) per installment when he was poached from The Presse by The Constitutionnel in 1845."

Sure!

The title was unique to my business but in practice I was a ‘Senior’ position. I joined a company that had been part of the UK civil service but which had been privatised before I joined. The part I belonged to conducted advice-side / customer-friend work as opposed to supply-side / product-development. So in effect I was an independent technical consultant deployed into UK Govt customer organisations (in Defence) to support their activities, which included the stuff I mentioned before (requirements definition, business case development, etc). I did this for approx. 10 years, starting very technically focussed (e.g. helping to draft tech sections of Invitations To Tender or contributing to standards development) but gradually looking at business / organisational issues (e.g. can we restructure this organisation to reduce commercial and technical barriers to efficiency? / what research do we need to do to conduct to de-risk this new simulation technology?). I became reasonably well known in the customer community and, crucially, was trusted as a friendly techie rather than a commercial ‘suit’.

The plus side to this was getting superb levels of customer access and some experiences not available to most civilians. Because I had been around for years the customers saw me as someone who actually understood their domain and their problems. I knew their acronyms and understood their business processes, more so than some of them did (especially customers who were new in role).

The downside was that from the perspective of my parent company, I had effectively ‘gone native’ with the customers (although was still useful because I generated revenue and demonstrated the competence of my company). I had to be commercially fire-walled away from the product side of the company so that the customers still trusted me. This limited my career development – partly because I couldn’t be involved in high-profile bids and delivery projects that attracted C-suite attention. As an example, although my salary increased okay, I found it very hard to gain evidence (e.g. third party feedback) that would support a grade rise. As it was, I didn’t mind too much (this was the latter end of my career) but had I been younger it would have been frustrating.
