Well since the manufacturer is in the conversation: yes I’m coming from the perspective that an arbitrary color helps avoid racial stereotypes, and just as importantly includes everyone. Multiple skin tones per classroom is:

- Probably out of budget

- Even if it’s not, subject to bias

Why not use a skin tone that’s not likely to be identified with by anyone? If we taught kids to put condoms on a banana they can figure it out.

Making educational wieners racially diverse is a fool’s errand.

> Given that, what is your issue with the USA allowing vaccinated travellers...

30% of all new COVID cases in Los Angeles are in fully vaccinated individuals. Israel, one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, is reporting record new cases.

The vaccines are effective at reducing the risk of severe illness and death, but the data is now very clear that they do not prevent people from becoming infected and infecting others.

If the US wants to reduce the risk that it will be among the first in line to get every new variant, it would need to embrace the only approach that has proven effective: limit arrivals and force arrivals to quarantine for a sufficient amount of time.

Of course, you could argue that the cost of this exceeds the benefits. But either way, it's time to let go of the idea that people who are vaccinated are not at risk of catching and spreading the virus. It's just not the case.

Very oversimplified is that the Fed is basically nowadays does "NGDP targeting" with a huge emphasis on as close to full employment as possible.

If the Fed would "pay back" its liabilities (loans), almost all money would disappear. (AFAIK there are some old legal tenders that are not Fed issued.) The central bank is there to supply the money needed to maintain a steady money supply. It's designed to hold that debt.

The basic formula is MV=PQ (money supply * velocity of money = price * quantity). As the economy expands it's natural that it needs more money to maintain the same price level. The central bank then targets a slight increase in prices (to have the steady ~2% inflation) and issues money accordingly.

The Fed transitioned to a zero fraction regime on 2020 March ( https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm ) It was an unused tool anyway. Now the Fed uses interest on reserves (IOR) and discount rate to guide the fundamental rate. (Discount rate is the rate at which the Fed gives a loan. IOR is the minimum rate, literally free money from the central bank, discount is the maximum of the range. Banks call each other up to get loans, obviously they will ask for rates above the IOR/free-money rate.)

Trying to figure out truth or fiction from China is complicated by the CCP's direct censorship/influence.

Good news comes almost direct from CCP. Bad news is from anywhere-but-CCP.

Neither good/bad news can be judged as 100% true or false but the "CCP influence" means I have to use a fudge factor that decreases the trustworthiness of good news in comparison to bad news.

It doesn't outright invalidate "good news" but it introduces a significant element of doubt.
It's sort of ridiculous that this conversation has degraded into debating who to blame for World War II and what was or was not excusable.

Listen, all those people are fucking dead!

Hirohito was the last surviving World War II leader; he died in 01989, 33 years ago, at which point the other leaders had all been dead for decades.

There's nobody left to blame or punish!

The youngest WWII soldiers were born around 01930, which is 91 years ago; there are very few of them left alive either.

I have the unpleasant feeling that some people are commenting on this thread because they support one or another of the belligerents in that bloody slaughter, as if it were a sportsball game, rather than because they are interested in what is true and what is false. How could you go about debugging a program if you had to argue with advocates of one subroutine or another, intentionally feeding you unreliable information so you'll blame a different subroutine for the bug? How could you go about analyzing a chemical reaction if you had to argue with people who were fans of one or another chemical compound, and tried to argue that their favorite compound would be produced from any reaction, whether or not the necessary elements were present? This is an excellent example of what I mean when I liken HN to the intellectual equivalent of the impoverished slums where I used to volunteer.

The relevant point to the factual question being discussed is that the European Resistance was, as you say, led by people who supported Stalin, and they had largely been put in charge of their various countries under the occupation of the United Nations. At the point that we're talking about, in 01945, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact had been dead for four years, and Europe was full of the tales of noble sacrifices and terrible suffering the Russians had experienced in order to resist the Nazis. So Stalin could reasonably anticipate a lot more popular support and a lot less government resistance for setting up Communist governments in them, should he push his military advantage further, than Hitler ever had for setting up Nazi governments.

Given that geography, there's a strong likelihood that you used the software my team developed (sorry?).
Samba ships with modules for ceph, gluster and gpfs.

Here's the info you need:

Note the share definition:

[SHARE_NAME]
path = /
vfs objects = ceph
ceph: config_file = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
ceph: user_id = samba.gw
read only = no
kernel share modes = no

The "vfs objects = ceph" is the important part.

(if you're only exporting via Samba you can safely leave leases/oplocks enabled).

It really means "tell the app to size its window to fit the content" so the effect is not always to fill the screen. It's so inconsistently implemented that they might as well just make it work like maximize on Windows.
The implicit strategy of such active measures (according to the sources), is to take advantage of homegrown, nativist movements and co-opt them from the inside. In other words, it's best if one's own countrymen, as you put it, start and maintain the movement. At some point, the foreign power either influences it from the sidelines or outright funds and takes over the group.

In the case of at least one state separatist movement (and at least one white power movement, IIRC), both were revealed to have leaders who traveled back and forth to Russia and/or received funding.

I would also invite you to go back to the origins of the Trump campaign, and see how it evolved. It originally began as an active measure, with the Trump campaign hiring paid actors to promote his campaign announcement. There's a paper trail behind this, and several of his former staffers have come forward recently and admitted it.

I feel like a crazy person but this comes up so often and it seems to me like the answer has never changed? We don't have a lack of software engineers, we have a lack of qualified/competent software engineers. If it's difficult for someone to get a job in that area, there is at least some likelihood that they don't happen to be in the category of folks that are in demand.

Yes, that's obviously how the math works out.

Both the overall mean and mean-of-means have sensible interpretations though.

Suppose you observe a random sample of stars and find their temperatures to be 6000, 6250, 6750, and 7000C. The best possible guess[0] for the temperature of a new star drawn from that population is 6500C. The average temperature of all the starstuff may be different if one star is larger than another, but that's an answer to a slightly different question.

In fact, I would argue that the mean-of-means is often a more appropriate summary statistic than the overall mean of the observations when there are repeated measurements.

It is one of those common tropes, "interviewing is hard", that seems to justify the inevitability of poor attitude, wasting time of interviewees (remember the interviewers are paid for those hours) and a painful process for basically anyone.
I often interview for my company/group and yes, it is challenging in one hour to find out "life, death, and miracles" of some guy who is being interviewed, but it is especially challenging when the interviewer is in a bad mood, does not want to be there, or sees interviewing as a nuisance, and he is looking for a reason to make someone fail.
I worked at a FAANG and I got offers from FAANGs-adjacent companies, so I am not one of those you-cannot-win-at-this-game-so-you-complain people.
I saw: someone stopping the interview for unexplained reasons after the first 45 minutes, an interviewer at a blue company looking at my private parts for a good part of 45 minutes, multiple people interviewing while doing something else in person or virtually, recruiters (those were the fronts, the hiring managers were responsible) dragging the process forever and then say no with zero explanation.
Is it really "hard" doing better than that?

"When great thinkers ..."

One should give credit to Joel for correctly identifying the issue: great thinkers excel in abstract thought. Many of the comments here, however, seem to misunderstand his point about the propensity of creative minds to continue the refinement process and "not knowing when to stop". One (codeulike) apparently thinks simply being "bored" is what drives abstract thinkers. Let me assure you that is not the case, nor is it an inability to code. Many architecture astronauts started out as wiz coders.

Now let's review the gifts given by said astronauts - I'll limit to 2 examples but there are more:

- LISP is the mind product of a software astronaut.

- UNIX ("everything is a file") is the product of software space exploration.

My advice to serious young software engineers is to not accept mediocrity and imprecise thinking as acceptable standards for their chosen vocation. This cult of celebrating mediocrity in software design is a transient phase (20 years to date) and it is mostly a side effect of the introduction of facile soap boxes via the internet and blog sphere. When the dust settles, deep thinking and an ability to conceive powerful abstractions will yet again take center stage.

Software, after all, is all about abstraction.
Funny story - they switched to an Unlimited hours policy (slowly creeping up from several hours over time.)

As a result people just dialed up for long periods of time and made lines busy.

It had a second effect - it was busy so often, that once you dialed in it was in your best interest not to dial out...because who knows when you could get back in. Thus the congestion intensified.

On top of that, there were programs like A-O-Hell which let people circumvent payment (and it seemed AOL liked it because who knows what metrics were lifted as a result). So you had even more users on the system, again with no incentive to use the system less.
I don't think that's true. The underscore is valid in RFC4648, but the exclamation point is not.

And the RFC explicitly says:

characters outside the base alphabet

So, unless I've missed something in the RFC (and I admit I only skimmed it), change_me! isn't valid in either traditional or URL safe base64.

Politics does not belong in public schools during a pandemic. The city attorney sued the board at one point demanding they produce a back to school plan last year. After a seven hour closed door school board session with their attorneys, their tone changed real quick after that meeting.

> Rust did not punt on concurrency early on.

Rust started with green threading/fibers then quickly rejected that approach. Then it spent years iteratively building an alternative solution, which is still underway.

That's punting in my book; and it's punting for the majority of Rust aficionados who are surprised by the various twists and turns things take as the solution (as inevitable as it is) slowly materializes. By contrast, nothing of substance about Go async has ever changed, except perhaps the change in the default value of GOMAXPROCS. It was complete at conception.

It wasn't a wrong decision that Rust made; it was just a choice. But 10 years out it's not entirely implausible that if Rust had stuck with fibers that it may have driven the required OS improvements (e.g. Google's User Managed Concurrency Groups (UMCG) Linux kernel patches) that would have resolved some of the issues. It's not like Rust has become ubiquitous in the embedded space either, considering that it's held back by LLVM in that regard.

Something similiar happened with fallible allocations. Very early on most Rust devs declared that they believed that attempting recovery from allocation failure was folly (which in the land of GUIs from whence most of them came was the near universal opinion), and so shot down attempts to consider fallibility in the APIs.[1] Cue 10 years of slowly walking that back, with iterative (and still mostly pending) changes that were less than ideal owing to the fact that handling allocation failures is made infinitely more difficult if you don't take it into consideration at day 1.

[1] And, no, it's not enough to say that Rust core is allocation agnostic, because setting aside that only a tiny minority of Rust programmers only stick to core, the decision involved setting idioms and practices surrounding panics.

I think hiring processes fail when they tro to do the impossible: predict future performance of a candidate. And many processes do this. You need to be okay with some risk - so thankfully there are high-growth startups that hire less discriminately in order to scale (though of course this comes with other trade offs).

If the Emacs keybindings and terminology could be mastered in not much more than 30 seconds, they wouldn't pose a problem in the first place.

There is value in standardisation, and it's unlikely that the current starter Emacs layout provides any unique value other than letting 40+ year old industry veterans keep their muscle memory, while alienating basically everyone born after the age of the monochrome glass TTY.

While I understand that using or not using Emacs is not a competition, it almost appears that Emacs tries to be different for the sake of being different. Just like Mac OS uses the Ctrl+PgDn/Up/Arrow shortcuts in a way that contradicts what virtually every other platform does (including Windows and Linux).

Edit: do not misunderstand my point, I am not saying that Emacs is trying to be different for the sake of being different. I am saying that remaining the way it is, on purpose, when the majority of the world expressed a preference for a different convention that comes with no clear downsides, makes it look as if that were the case. Or makes Emacs look recalcitrant, if you prefer.
America == The United States of America

The opening line on Wikipedia:

"The United States of America (U.S.A. or USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America"

Even the French and German wikis say the same thing. Why? Because America is a near universally understood abbreviation of The United States of America.

Logical brevity is all that's about. No other nation on the planet has "America" in its name, which is just one more reason why there's so little confusion about which nation is being referred to and why it's obviously a trivial matter.

It has been a widely understood name for the US for two centuries. It has been in wide use since long before the US was a globally relevant or powerful nation, which entirely invalidates your notion that it somehow relates to a US-centric view of the world.

The people of the US are very commonly known as Americans, not USians or United Statesians.

North America is a continent. South America is a continent. America is the abbreviated name for a country. It's not complicated to differentiate.
Let me think of some things I've done recently.

1) Helped someone launch, track and recover a high-altitude balloon. We used APRS on the 2M band as the primary mode of tracking. You can see balloons in the air right now at https://tracker.habhub.org/

2) Carry in and set up a low-power radio and antenna at a riverfront park, then make contacts with people at home and at other parks. You can read more about that at https://parksontheair.com/ . I'm hoping to try a mountain instead of a park soon, see https://www.sota.org.uk/

3) Get up at odd hours of the night to try to make contact with amateurs in Hawaii on some bands and modes I haven't used to communicate with that state yet. I'm tracking this for my worked all states award from the ARRL, and did it recently because it was the https://www.hawaiiqsoparty.org/. that's an example of one of the many contests that exist in amateur radio.

4) Listen in on a regional HF net taking reports about conditions in areas affected by Hurricane Ida and relaying them to govt agencies as appropriate.

5) Listen in on a local 2M repeater where I heard other hams discussing their lives and hobbies related and unrelated to amateur radio.
