On the flip side there are plenty of examples of kids being pushed into higher education who would have been much better off going to a trade school.

Working as a plumber, an electrician, or a carpenter can be quite lucrative, and they are certainly things that society needs.

Being pushed into higher ed is so much different than having an internal drive to do it. I'm glad that she's doing well and hopefully they can resolve their differences.

I have a number of friends who are teachers, and part of their job is to call the parents if the student is failing, falling behind, or not doing their work. The vast majority of the time the response on the other end of the line is "that's their problem, not mine." If the parents don't care, the students don't care, and life goes on as it always has for them.
In my desperate quest for a Google alternative, I've given Qwant a try, some time ago. In the end, it was the usual soup: Bing search results with a different brand. Not only that, but Qwant's UI was confusing and ugly. If France's search engine has to be an ugly Bing clone, than it might as well die. At least DuckDuckGo has a very nice interface.

I've started using Brave Search (invite only, for now) and I have to say I'm impressed. In general, I'm no Brave fan, as I am not sold on their BAT cryptocurrency and I do not want to use yet another Chromium browser, but I have to say that Brave Search (used with Firefox) has been a pleasant experience. The results are surprisingly accurate, even when looking for more technical things (an area where DuckDuckGo failed miserably, for me). Hopefully a new true alternative to Google and Bing will arise from it.

You can do some basic routing using the domain name or the IP via an advanced proxy, such as v2ray. Shadowrocket on iOS also supports this.
Why? At work we've had several cases where one API (or similar) turned out to be completely broken, yet we successfully implemented a workaround using another API.

That doesn't change the fact that the API we initially tried to use was completely broken.

Like, maybe the service we needed to supply with data had a REST API which turned out to be completely broken, so we ended up reverting to generating XML files and uploading that via SFTP. That the data ended up where it needed to doesn't change the fact that their REST API was broken.
It certainly is, but in the US there have apparently been enough incentives for some founders not to accept an offer at that level. Some of those founders have gone on to build their businesses up to billion-dollar valuations, with dominance in their field, and now they've become the ones doing the investing and acquiring for the next generation of tech businesses. We have almost none of that in Europe, and I think it's important to ask why. I don't believe we lack people with ideas, skills and entrepreneurial instincts, and that means something else is getting in the way.
The descent of academia into elitist antagonizers of the public continues. Purely gatekeepers. Inferior to the internet at their stated mission.
This apparently isn't as much of an issue anymore, although there are supposedly other constraints on scaling.
Any web developer would tell you that nowadays Blink (Google's WebKit fork) and WebKit are very different. Blink has more features than WebKit, and less bugs. So with Gecko (Firefox's engine) we really have three different browser engines nowadays.
I see this comment a lot but I have never seen any evidence for this. What exactly is the barrier that a tech startup faces in Europe vs US? Which regulations are in the way (and are they EU or national ones)?

There is a lot of bs thrown around e.g. GDPR is far from evil or bothersome, as well funded lobby groups have made it out to be. You don't need cookie warnings if you use cookies to log your users in, only if you sell your users out to google and other analytics companies. You are obliged to have unsubscribe links in your emails to users. You have to provide and delete data you hold on specific users if requested. From a few hundred thousand users you need a data controller which is for ally responsible to watch out for data breaches (this is just an identified person, not a full time post). What's the big deal?

Much more stifling are e.g. the processes to register a company in the country you are based in or to get a bank account, and of course Europe's language diversity shrinks the potential reach so most that want to scale do so in English and then find it convenient to have offices e.g. in the US or UK.
Funny enough, I think you're saying the same thing I am but looking at it from a different angle.

I'm not saying JS-forward web apps shouldn't exist. I'm saying that some services should not only offer JS-forward web apps if their obligatory clientele ranges across the entire spectrum in terms of financial or technological resources and physical ability. Screen readers do not fare well on poorly structured and JS-forward web sites, for example—but the blind still need to access their online banking when their local bank branch removed their tellers and replaced them with a terminal that accesses the web portal alone...
I feel this through personal experience. My first job was working at a pizza place over the summer. It wasn't a bad job. It was part time, my boss was good, and I always knew what I needed to do. Despite that, it was the most work I've ever had, and for only minimum wage.

Every tech job I've had has been much easier, and less stressful. And even during my internships, I was making more then I ever could at the pizza place.

How much you get paid is completely irrelevant to how much hard work you're doing. I think a lot of people are seeing that these days, and are becoming disillusioned with the working world as a result.
We (U.S.) do NOT have a safety net for the disabled. Not even slightly

I will come back and expand on this later. Jeez does the fact people think that make my blood boil.
Did you and I grow up in the same country? The entire puritan work effort is based on this premise in some way or another.

The more religious you are the more you appear to believe your wealth is a god-given right and that everyone else is a lazy no-gooder trying to steal the fruits of your hard work.
GenZ and Millennials: Add crypto investing to your bag
I'm excited to share HAX, a new community designed to help GenZ (and young millennials) build wealth through investing, starting with our first LIVE course on crypto investing!

Do you have crypto FOMO but don't know how to get started to invest? Maybe the price movements or technical jargon make you feel its not for you? Or that you're late to the party so why bother? Don't worry - HAX has got you covered through our 4 week LIVE course which teaches you the basics of crypto and how to invest over the long-term through our playbook designed for GenZ.

My name is Karthik (founder of HAX) and come from a first-generation immigrant family where concepts like "long-term investing" and "wealth" were foreign. However, investing in crypto (by chance) in 2017 changed my life and taught me that anyone can begin to build wealth by:

- Getting started : I had little understanding when I first invested in crypto but having skin in the game got the flywheel goin' by pushing me to learn, which helped me gain conviction, which in turn empowered me to invest more, etc
- Surrounding yourself with an amazing community : between people helping me learn, the war cry of "HODL" (never sell) that galvanized me to do the same, and commiserating during good times and bad, I owe my entire portfolio to the crypto community
- Long-term mindset : in an earlier life, I would have certainly sold after pocketing a small profit. Thanks to the community, I've remained invested and first-hand experienced the true power of compounding

My mission with HAX is to provide these building blocks to GenZ (and young millennial) investors through live courses and community.

I have a remarkable 2 as well and It's a fantastic notetaker and pdf annotation device. One benefit I didn't think about beforehand but use somewhat frequently is signing documents while working from home. Just print to pdf, copy to remarkable, sign, email back to sender. Way easier than printing, signing, scanning, and then emailing back.

If you're happy with your life, why change anything?

Assuming you're considering medication, be careful. Remember that ADHD medication often very similar to methamphetamine, (or is methamphetamine.)

Those drugs are addictive, and when prescribed incorrectly, it's often hard to be objective about if the drugs really benefit you, or if you just enjoy the drugs.
The more interesting information on that page to me is that the living space per capita has increased. I was suspect that while square footage may be increasing, that could easily be offset by the number of people living in those houses but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The key information missing here though is a more generalized cost of living space per person, beyond housing. This data can still be biased, in general, because it may be the case that fewer people own homes, say more successful wealthy people, while the majority are renting these properties. I have a bucket of anecdotal examples of friends who still don't own homes in their 30s and are still renting.

This data would exclude all of those people painting a picture that people are doing well while some unknown population is renting, paying more per square foot than owning, and rates could be increasing per person per square foot over time. That population could be smaller or larger than those who own homes. I'd be interested to see those distributions of renting/owning and a similar cost comparison for renter square foot costs per capita.

We more or less know what they collect. Trust MS more than facebook, Google, Twitter, tiktok. I mean your privacy is probably violated more just browsing the net, even with all your ad blockers and tracking disabled, than using Windows for any daily task.

I only use Windows for gaming these days but privacy is hardly an issue in Windows compared to anything else.
You may have "non-problematic" ADHD, or not consider it a problem. But there may be a few things you struggle with that you aren't telling.

Emotional stability. My girlfriend had massive ups and downs, almost bipolar; the medication (slow release, concerta or its cheaper but equivalent alternative) evened things out. I have a friend who doesn't want the diagnosis or treatment because he's fine with it, and you can tell he struggles with keeping his emotions under control. He mainly gets really frustrated and loses his patience if things aren't going as fast as he wants to.

The other one is getting overwhelmed and/or having meltdowns, because one comorbidity of ADHD is sensory processing disorder. It's things like grocery stores with music and children screaming that can get too much.

Another one is things being "loud / busy" in your head, maddeningly so. I've heard that taking the meds quiets things down, and it's a relief.

Anyway, a diagnosis won't hurt, it'll improve your self-awareness. You won't be forced to take medication or anything if you don't want to. A diagnosis is usually a questionnaire and a "take this ritalin and tell me how you feel in a bit".
I love rmapi and use it often with my rM2.
I've been doing grocery pickup with Superstore (large Canadian chain) for a few years now. It's $5 per order, or $100 a year to be an "Insider" member which gets you some other benefits.

Originally we started using it because grocery shopping on the weekend with our son was a terrible experience for us. Trading the extra time and hassle for paying $5 to just pull into a parking spot after work and have it delivered to my trunk was well worth it for us. Prices match exactly what is in store (they ring it through the same system,) and tipping isn't allowed.

If it were just my wife and I, or if I was single, I don't think I'd use the service, but for my current situation it's great. They also offer delivery for an additional cost, I don't know how much it is, but I do know some people who have mobility issues who enthusiastically use it.
Because hard work does not pay off. You'd have to be a fool to believe it.
In the worst case scenario there is some unknown physics that leads to a jet engine destroying the universe. There is no way to prove that such a disaster can't happen. You may say "well that's absurd, we know how jet engines work" and that's exactly what I'll say about nuclear reactors.
Statistically next to nobody goes from anywhere to billionaire.

There are 2,755 billionaires in the world and 7.6 billion individuals, thats around 2.7 million to one. Not great odds for anyone to be frank.

Also is it any wonder people believe that they can't get anywhere when they are constantly told, they can't get anywhere. Seems a little self fullfilling to be frank.
Because Singularity is hardly any different from something like SavaJe OS, in what concerns use of type safe programming language as security boundary.

It was abandoned in 2006 and SIP were never validated in production under real attacks.

Even Midori had more real use, having powered Asian Bing subnet for a while.

To worship it in 2021 is just theory without pratical results.
Same is true in Spanish, where "usted" ultimately derives from "vuestra merced".

For a completely different example, "on" in formal French means something like "one" in English: a pronoun for a general, unspecified person; as such, it takes singular conjugations. However, in colloquial speech, it means "we" and has almost completely replaced "nous" as a subject pronoun.

Thus: "il est" (he is); "on est" (we are, colloquial language); "nous sommes" (we are, standard language)
Cannot +1 this hard enough. It is the kernel from which all other useful things flow.

I will wait to start my walk until they get to my house, and hand them an envelope with two $50 bills.
I bought the Onyx Boox Note air after much deliberation. Apart from the GPL violations, I don't see any major problems in the Note air, and it's a perfect device for my needs. I can recommend it to someone who wants a all-round eInk tablet.

* Taking notes is really great, the notes app is highly customisable to personal needs. Handwriting to text is quite powerful as well.

* Searching for text in your handwritten notes is a quite cool and useful.

* You can use the Kindle Android app and it's just perfect.

* The browser is quite powerful and offers a great reading experience.

* Keyboard is surprisingly good, I like the write-to-text feature very much.
No one predicted “discards nickserv database” so I don’t think we’re done being surprised by what comes next.
Chinese products aren't so cheap anymore, a lot of what china produced is moving away to other countries.
I loved my Remarkable but I returned it.

I was pretty ok with the "it's just note taking" paradigm. But the problem for me is that it should be "just a note taking" device but with advanced note taking features, not just "nothing more than a sheet of paper".

The number one issue for me was the poor navigation experience. Going from one page to another was a pain if they were not contiguous. This could have been solved by allowing to create "links" between pages for example. But I the end, I found myself writing everything on the current page because getting to a new page in the right place was too long.

Let apart my issue, which maybe is really personal, Remarkable is a remarkably (!) engineered experience. Particularly , the writing experience is impressive.
Reddit has turned into a clownish propoganda website. It is exponentially worse than any other social media website. It is a complete failure at every level.
I bought a Pocketbook 912 [0] soon after it came out, around 2012. It wasn't cheap - I think around £400. It had a 9.7" screen with a resolution of 1200×825. But the CPU & memory were what you'd expect a decade ago, so the experience was quite laggy. OTOH the display was superb for reading most text books - almost native size, PDF rendering & page turning was fast enough, and zero eye-strain. It came with a pen for doing highlights and basic drawing. I still use it occasionally for distraction-free textbook reading.

In 2014 I picked up a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" - an android(ish) device, good pen support. Slightly laggy, but the ability to sync my notes and colour drawings (in SVGs, typically) back to my computer was valuable. Samsung notoriously ceased supporting this flagship product soon after release. (They're now on my list.)

The Remarkable2 looks great, but I'm wary now. I'd want to be extremely confident about inter-op of content between my computers (Debian, mostly) and the device - in both directions - before wanting to make a long-term commitment to yet another platform.

Buying a transportation ticket or renting a room from a hotelier is a frightfully risky activity on its own. There have historically been limited reasons to trust either transporters or hoteliers as you'd only interact with them once and you may never have come into contact with someone who used their services.

Hence there is a "duty to guests" in most hospitality law. That requires that the proprietor maintain a property reasonably free of forseeable risk.

Anyone reading this should be extremely skeptical of internet strangers recommending drugs that gave them "superpowers", changed their life, etc. Taking these drugs will make anyone feel more focused, motivated, etc because these drugs are strong stimulants that cause euphoria, focus, and bursts of energy.

Anecdotally, I've seen a huge uptick in posts of the format "how an ADHD diagnosis changed my life" on Reddit, TikTok, HN, etc. Talk to your doctor about your issues and concerns but don't forget the incentives of pharma companies to push these drugs on as many people as possible.
That's an amazing compression ratio, how is the quality?
Take a look at this opinion from a distance and see if you think it accurately reflects the views of half of the American population or if you might have internalized some biases
> Yeah he acknowledged that some people have it much harder than others, but it doesn't matter because at the end of the day anyone can get rich so everything else is irrelevant.

I mean, isn't that applicable everywhere? Even the most totalitarian country really only requires a military coup or revolution and, if you've worked really hard, you too could be King Dictator God Emperor for life.
> So what does it achieve?

Sustainability. The device isn't for everybody. The constraints are features.

Sounds like you want something more like an iPad.
For me, MS Paint is really good at pixel art. Pinta seems to be good at it as well. At first glance, Krita looks like more of a painting software, kind of closer to Photoshop than to Paint.
The bcc toolkit has been out for a while [1], it is a great collection of python wrapped bpf tools that is a little more user friendly.

It never actually seems to come though. I wouldn't count on it.

I believe that getting something for nothing is usually not sustainable. Just because you serve no purpose to those giving the things away for free. Something will give (some type of resource constraint will arise, even if it is just competitive/alternatives) and it will fail if you are not providing value.
You don’t agree? A more substantial comment would
be informative.

Can you give us one example of a stellar open source UI you use daily?
> Your identity can create new credit cards. It can take out loans. It is inherently a higher order security risk, and therefore should by default have more restrictions.

It's a security risk because of the first couple things you listed. The problem is that identity cannot be simultaneously a secret and a public identifier. As the name should suggest, identity serves a much better use as a public identifier. So we should stop treating it like a secret and start creating real infrastructure for actual secrets.

By the way, this is completely analogous to credit cards. There's a reason the industry has moved to chip cards physically and tokenized cards virtually. And that's because the card number was serving as both identity and secret, and that doesn't work. The deviation is that, in this case, we've decided to make the credit card numbers a secret which is cryptographically protected (chips) or at the very least stored in an opaque manner (tokens).
The fact that the master degrees claim was made without specifying what degrees those masters were in is telling.
what Europe also doesn't have is a true single market. It has fractured markets, each with a different language, different legal requirements and so on.

For all the disagreements here, look at where people move. Only around 5% of EU citizens live and work in an [edit: EU] country other than their own and a large slice of that is people from the east moving west. Only a sliver is highly skilled work and the majority is semi-skilled or low-skilled. The EU loves to boast about how freedom of movement of people is an important pillar but getting it to work over the long term is still a bureaucratic nightmare.

Meanwhile, the US continues to vacuum up talent from across the world despite an utterly broken immigration system. Heck, even Canada is a top destination for talent due to its proximity to the US.
Seems like that would make it hard to get to work, too... oh, wait.
That was too harsh, sorry.
> If Europe wants to have its citizens (and companies) rely significantly on European-operated software, it has no choice but to develop better software,

NEVER in my 30+ years as a user of computer networks or communication programs I have seen the "better software" win. It has always been the most marketing, the most shady ethics, or anything else that lead to the strongest network effect.
I'll never forget something a grade school friend's parent told us once when I visited their tiny communist provided apartment. Total blue collar worker barely making ends meet. "The times are fucked up, boys, you need to study hard"

That for me pretty much sums up that mentality. I don't know where it comes from - maybe the delta from no education to education, no matter how basic, is enormous, whereas things like public school vs private school, or public school in town X vs. town Y don't have the same lift.
If working hard is the key most of the blue collar workers would be billionaires.
I think GPs main point is not covered by semver at all - namely to not break anything out of the blue but have a transition period where API consumers can upgrade at their own leisure.
