Government schools are a quasi-monopoly that only parents who can afford private school tuition can escape. A monopoly can afford to be inefficient and indulge the whims of the people working for it. Quoting the article:

"under Myart-Cruz’s [the teachers' union president] stewardship, which began when she assumed office in the summer of 2020, that purview has been expanded to include a breathtaking range of far-flung progressive issues: racial justice, Medicare for all, the millionaire tax, financial support for undocumented families, rental and eviction relief—over the last 15 months, UTLA has championed them all. Many of these may be laudable aims, or at least worth debating, but they aren’t the sort of agendas normally pursued by your neighborhood teachers’ union. In what universe, after all, does UTLA’s recent boycott of Israel over the conflict with Hamas benefit the teachers—or students—of Los Angeles?"
> relying on stock phrases to relay information

You can see this in other common phrases.

Take "miles per hour" for example. I've met plenty of people who can't figure out how long it would take to get from A to B at X mph. They'll deliberate over how they know from running on their treadmill that they run (on average) at 8 mph, and they recall that it usually takes them Y minutes to run Z miles, and then they factor in the diameter of their car's wheels (because surely a car with larger wheels gets there faster for the same mph vs a car with smaller wheels), and finally sprinkle in a bit of multiplication to arrive at their best guestimate.

That is, plenty of people don't realize that "per" means "for each", and that it's not some singular word "milesperhour", but a phrase meaning "miles traveled for every hour spent travelling".

Other fun phrases thrown around without understanding (or with similar words mistakenly swapped in):

Miles per gallon.

Mysterious Spam Cname Record Appearing on Cloudflare
I took a look today at a domain that is expiring soon. We shut down everything associated with the domain a few months ago (the DO droplet and the cloudflare record).

However, we left the name servers pointing to cloudflare at our registrar.

When accessing the domain today, I noticed that it was redirected to various spam sites. Upon further inspection it looks like the DNS records were changed. There was a CNAME entry that was causing this redirect.

Is this some sort of security vulnerability? I can't imagine Cloudflare or our registrar would change the records to this spam domain themselves. I'm at a loss for how this could possibly occur.
Standard Notes won't be a competitor in my eyes until they add extentions/theming support to the free tier as well. It's an absurd and zero-margin holdout that makes zero sense and only drives me away from their service.
That's completely irrelevant to the discussion. We're talking about positions for which many people will apply. You're not going to be able to eliminate enough with a 30 minute informal "chat". Honestly, I think your comment says more about how programming still isn't taken seriously in Europe to a large extent (just look at the salary gap vs US).

No one ever said big dreams come easy
For Nesto Vasquez, moving his Afro-Caribbean food truck from New York City to the wilds of Upstate New York is a huge gamble. If it works? He’ll be a big fish in a little pond. If it doesn’t? He’ll have to give up the hustle and return to the day job he hates. He’s got six months to make it happen—the last thing he needs is a distraction.

Jude Fuller is proud of the life he’s built on the banks of Cayuga Lake. He has a job he loves and good friends. It’s safe. It’s quiet. And it’s damn lonely. Until he tries Ithaca’s most-talked-about new lunch spot and works up the courage to flirt with the handsome owner. Soon he can’t get enough—of Nesto’s food or of Nesto. For the first time in his life, Jude can finally taste the kind of happiness that’s always been just out of reach.

An opportunity too good to pass up could mean a way to stay together and an incredible future for them both…if Nesto can remember happiness isn’t always measured by business success. And if Jude can overcome his past and trust his man will never let him down.

Pile of raw chicken on airport luggage carousel prompts warning from TSA
I find jazz has a similar problem: there may be a band leader but usually each instrumentalist is of note, and there is no way I am aware of to track each performer in an ID3 or APE tag.

Consider for example the Cannonball Adderley album "Somethin' Else" [1]. The album artist is Cannonball because he led the session, but he is in no way the 'author' of the entire album. The performances of Miles, Hank, Sam and Art on their respective instruments are what make the album what it is. In addition, some of the tunes are 'standards': "Autumn Leaves" is by Kosma and "Love for Sale" is by Porter, although I suppose this info could be stored in the ID3 composer field on each track.

I would love a way to track performers across all my jazz albums and be able to see which albums different people performed on.

Seconded. It doesn’t take a team of PhD’s to run A/B testing on features and variations that improve lift. Tie performance bonuses to improved engagement and sales, and you can motivate many non doctorates to find novel ways to make things addictive.

Many would say our political economy is built on insatiable consumption, and is therefore incapable of cutting emissions to such a scale to materially impact climate change. It makes no sense to blame 'Republicans' and/or 'Christians' for not trusting every proposed solution to these massively complex problems.
If you like Bach you might want to learn to listen to polyphony: the form of music in which multiple melodies are played simultaneously while forming an harmonious whole. I recommend looking & listening to videos of Stephen Malinowsky (smalin on youtube), particularly his older videos with less visual clutter. Each color is a separate melody. Initially and you should try to focus on just one melody, then see if you can easily switch your focus to an other one. Then see if you can listen/focus on two melodies at the same time, then three... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81D26D4A47388279

In general I would not worry to much about the performer, but it might be interesting to listen to different interpretations of the same piece, particularly from composers with very idiosyncratic styles. On youtube, Ashish Xiangyi Kumar (https://www.youtube.com/c/AshishXiangyiKumar) has videos of pieces (mainly piano solo) interpreted by different artist.

If you feel this way, I encourage you to go volunteer in one of the many poverty and conflict-stricken regions of this world. The US Peace Corps does a lot of this kind of work. It's needed and fulfilling work.
COVID has convinced me that a functioning society can’t just throw its hands up and exclusively rely on Nash Equilibrium to deal with all problems. If you rely on everyone being rational self-interest-optimizing actors, you’ll never solve problems that require voluntary collective, coordinated action. It just ends up as a giant game of prisoner’s dilemma with everyone choosing DEFECT.
Yet there is no data I know of that confirms this is due to humans only or mostly.

Read carefully bc I kbow where you are going to put the ball on: we do know about the gases that produce heat. But there are PLENTY of variables that we cannot predict most likely.

And as the other reply says, it is a topic that is more politics than anything else. Now go vote me down and do not discuss. Religions are like that, I know. Even if you dare to call it strict science.

Plenty of predictions have failed before. Predicting is difficult. And if we dnt know what is going on with enough accuracy what it is going to come for sure is a lot of people living in worse conditions (I mean developing countries mainly) because a set of bureaucrats decided that we need to do it. What if that is not the main cause? What about the damage to those people? If it is for health and proved I can understand it. If it is for hypothesis we should be VERY careful and do the right things. You could set restrictions and the temperature still go up. And what? The people who take the wrong decisions what?

This is like the pandemic in my country: u dnt vaccinate everyone on time even for ur own self-set goals, you forbid private clinics to buy vaccines creating a monopoly (but that is ok even if they are slow as f*ck!). When things come bad, what? Easy: we blame it on here and there WITHOUT data, close businesses and put restrictions. Later we make those people we locked down pay the bill even if we did not do our homework with our goals and problem solved.
> I don't buy into the argument that if those people limited their travel and consumption then all of the sudden the non-believers will start believing.

Maybe it would convince folks, maybe it wouldn't, but you'd have a chance. By contrast, any effort that involves "Do as I say, not as I do", is pretty much guaranteed to fail, and rightfully so. Trying to force others to do something that you yourself are unwilling to do voluntarily is the exact opposite of leadership.
Well, for the purpose of designing and running otherwise arbitrary algorithms/code, it seems like four independent SIMD core/chips (with 1000/many kernels each) is quite different from a 1000 thousand cores each running instructions independently. The latter offers more options.
Salon, so probably fake news, but anecdotally, I've had a lot of good ideas while just walking outside (or in the shower, which I suspect could have the same effect). Basically when I'd get stuck on something hard at work, I'd lock my machine, leave my phone behind, and walk around the building a few times. Usually that was enough to figure out how to get unstuck at least, if not outright solve the problem. Try this, if you're able, I'm pretty sure it's not just me.

It's kind of aggravating that this is not considered to be "work" by most people. I'd say those are some of the highest value parts of my day.
Somehow I am quite sure "developers" are not the ones deciding to lock out their own customers here.
> And if everyone can't do it, nobody should be able to

So nobody should be able to take on any occupation except farmer or hunter-gatherer, because we would go extinct if everyone was a pharmacist or cop or baker? I think you’ve got the notion of universalizability from moral philosophy mixed up with economics.

If half of society doesn’t need a “career” job to get by, that means society can be maintained without that much specialized labor. In fact, I’m under the impression that our society requires large quantities of unspecialized labor to function - and the dissatisfaction with such jobs (or rather, the conditions thereof) are the subject of this article.
I agree wholeheartedly with the author.

I also find this to be true of email clients. GMail reigns supreme, but there is pretty much no email client out there that is:

- A good UI/UX

- Doesn't store your data in their cloud

- Is cross-platform (even just iOS/OSX, but certainly not iOS/OSX/Windows/Android).

Thunderbird is one of the only contenders here, and I find the UX of Thunderbird to be abysmal. I've started to kickoff a project to fill this space, but admittedly it's a big project and doomed for the shelf :/
Ah, missed that. You are right, in that case you need to start making some decisions depending on the situation.
Windows has a long and colorful history full of serious, remotely exploitable vulnerabilities made oh so much worse by the fact they're running inside kernel space. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like the idea of bringing this into Linux.

FWIW, these exploits are not all in legacy code. A recent SMB3 vulnerability "SMBGhost" used a lack of bounds checking of compressed data in the new SMB3 compression code, which can be triggered pre-auth.

If that bug is in a user space program, it's a bad bug, but you're at least not (unnecessarily!) opening up your entire kernel to RCE. Even assuming "many eyes find all bugs" some don't want to introduce the risk at all.
I'd also be careful with the labels based just around the flavor of authoritarianism you're used to for all your life. FWIW, drinking age is generally customary rather than codified in practice in China, as is public drinking.
This is an exact example of why I don't waste any moment of my life with social media. It's just loaded with fake trash like that. People trying to show off how they're successful and have an amazing life, but reality is they're barely scraping by, and often miserable. Social media is about as accurate of a representation of life as reality TV is an accurate representation of people.
I have heard that as well, but the selfie in those cases was them with whatever they said. So it is more a short form of "took a photo of me with..." which I think is OK.
Life is about more than GDP, and childhood should be about more than being trained to follow orders.

I'm not going to say that it doesn't happen, but, honestly, most of the folks who I've met in my journey with Amateur radio are folks who are truly excited about RF and who want to share their knowledge in the hobby to others.
Hi and thanks! I'm a NixOS user and sloppily created a package but when I run I get "qt.qpa.wayland: EGL not available", probably an issue with my build.

Anyway, the default animation durations are IMO too long, at least the cursor animation, I couldn't make the window animations work, wonder if it's related to that error message.

There are all sorts of things governments express control over, even at home.

As a parent of young children, there are addition parallels between Minecraft / Roblox / Alcohol / Cigarettes.

To a real degree, more effort is put into making gaming deliberately additive - although flavored vaping (bubble gum, cotton candy, etc) would like to enter the conversation.
Okay, if there's a simple way to mark some code as "compile this even if it's wrong", it's only a minor annoyance.

But the commenter I responded to seemed to me to be wishing for a language that explicitly disallows that. Maybe I misunderstood?
Yup. What I really want is to be able to browse by composer, then work, and then show me all the performances (regardless of whether a whole album or part of an album), and let be sort/filter by popularity, trending, new, and performer.

I'm honestly pretty surprised the metadata problem hasn't been solved by now. Even if the labels are providing it in an inconsistent format, cleaning it all up to 99.9% consistency seems like it could be done fairly efficiently. The universe of the names of classical composers and performers isn't that large.
That's not how it works for the majority of bored kids with raging hormones.

> Covid can not be eradicated.

We have done it several times and will hopefully do it again.

We have had a pretty smooth time as a whole, with relatively little inconvenience - this and the previous month long lockdown excluded.

However as you say, what’s the point?

We are not vaccinated widely enough to prevent carnage. We need way more people vaccinated as our hospital system is under strain already. Adding Covid will be catastrophic, and we need to reduce that risk.

New Zealand is the gateway to various pacific islands and we provide their healthcare. If Covid rips through them that’s also on us.
All I really wanted was being able to see the full name of the piece when I open an album in Spotify.
I've suspected this for a long time. It's just too bad you can have a Facebook account (or for that matter, Twitter or LinkedIn) and still get hired in tech. Having a presence on social media should be treated as the same negative hiring signal as putting an @aol.com email address on your resume.
Congratulations to the team! I had great fun working there and the knowledge of classical music within the team was astonishing. Most staff are musical in some way - Friday afternoon drinks was occasionally an orchestra with singers! A very unique experience :-)
I don't think the phrasing of Knowles' quote translates 1:1 from the context of the book to contemporary debate, but I think sarcasm is a frequent tool of a weak argument.
I (also white American) play the same rules and was taught them by my grandfather. He said he learned the game in the Navy during WWII, but I'm not sure if that timeline lines up.

How does "use a generator" answer this question? A generator can yield an endless amount of data, but if they ask "our customers buy things 24/7 on our website, how would you pull the endless orders into Python?" and you said "a generator", I'd think you were trying to guess the teacher's password ( https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NMoLJuDJEms7Ku9XS/guessing-t... )

It surely matters if the data source is push or poll or something else, matters if it's a lot of data or a trickle, matters if you need all of it or if you can miss some (and how much), if the source buffers it or doesn't. I'd expect discussions about message busses, queueing, buffering (maybe ring buffers), data stores (maybe SQL or No-SQL), as well as concurrency or parallelism expecting the question could move to "and what if there was 1000x more data?". "Process stock market data" needs more than "read a temperature every minute".

Or at least for a candidate to ask about some of them and be told "this isn't so complicated", not "it's up to you". If it's only asking whether you can loop over a generator instead of trying to read all the data up front, the question could surely be more focused?

There's an obvious pattern where every generation has had their activities scrutinized (and often feared) by the parent generation, and the scrutiny/fear is usually not justifiable.

That said, a pattern is a pattern until it isn't, and I think it's fair to ask what criteria you'd use to evaluate the cost/benefit of some activity on a cohort of individuals that lack a fully developed frontal lobe.

Some questions going through my mind as I've witnessed my children during quarantine:

1. Does the activity negatively impact the individuals ability to satisfy other obligations (academic, fiscal, personal-care, etc)?

2. Does the activity require only a shared interest, or is active participation required? if the latter, what's the time demand of the participation?

3. If the individual ceases the activity, will they maintain relationships with the individuals they participated with?

4. Can proficiency in the activity translate to other endeavors?

5. does the idea of taking a break from the activity cause anxiety or stress?

I let my kids play the games because I want them to have some autonomy, but online games in particular result in greater negative answers for these questions than other activities (including offline games).

Curious about your observations... do you find there's no difference between online vs. offline?
There was a line in there that reminded me a bit of a thing you might write in a school essay - "When playing Spades, you’re dealt a hand and have no control over the cards you get—unless you’re cheating." I'm having trouble thinking of a card game where you do get control over the cards you're dealt. Maybe there is one?

I'm reminded of a time in high school where for some reason I had to write an essay connecting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to some more modern environmentalism ideas. These "You don't control the hand you're dealt" are exactly the kind of thing that filled those essays in school. "The monster, representing the unchecked progress of technology, causes great harm to the world..." You can just draw random connections between any two ideas if you don't limit yourself to strong, unique, or meaningful connections.
It’s about more than just online games. It’s about control

Isn't this more likely to provoke the opposite? Addictive time-wasters are an aid to authoritarian government.

Assuming this policy is effectively enforced, Chinese youth suddenly have a lot more free time on their hands.
What's astonishing is how thoroughly you missed their point.
Modern games is a bit of a blanket statement.

There are tons of modern games (arguably the majority when you consider the size of the market) that are not skinner boxes.

If all you're looking at is AAA games and mobile crap, then sure. But there's more to games than that stuff.

I recently switched to Evolution on Gnome, and put all my notes, tasks, calendars and address books in a "radicale"[0] CalDav/CardDav server.

On my phone, I combine it with FairEmail, DAVx5 and OpenTasks.
