More folks should be given the option for vocational training in blue collar roles that pay really really well. Ever had a decent electrician or plumber come to your house to fix something? They make bank/hr. Or even a welder or carpenter etc etc not the whole world needs to be tech service workers, the economy is more nuanced than that.

But social stigma stemms from everything from dating to parents to friends etc if one does not complete a 4-year degree.

Most tech firms are lifitng the requirement for such a degree as in tech if you can do the work you can do the work and can (I'd say should) be hired. (In a sense, most coding/programming work is blue collar in that sense -- you don't need rocket science to center a div ;)

If I am sneaking a payload in, and I have different exploits for different OS versions, I would exactly disguise it as spam.

Pretending to be a busines, or a random person with wrong number, and then DELETING IT is a noteable indicator of compromise.

> But what I still don't understand is that some json
> outputs I see have multiple values with the exact same name

This is neither explicitly allowed nor explicitly forbidden by the JSON spec. It is implementation dependent upon how to handle - does one value override the other? Should they be treated as an array?

In practice, this situation is usually carefully avoided by services that produce JSON. If you are interfacing with a service that does produce duplicate values, I'd be interested in seeing it for curiosity's sake. If you are writing a service and this is the output, then I implore you to reconsider!
> the JS fragments thankfully should load only on first visit and then get aggressively cached by DDG/your browser

According to Alexa you have a 46.4% bounce rate. [1]

When 46% of your users aren't coming back, how does 31 round-trips to your server for 100% of first-page visitors save anyone time or bandwidth? Your pageviews per visitor is 6.8, meaning the 53.6% that stick around view an average of 11.8 pages each. Even if there are zero subsequent js requests on other pages (clicking a random page I see 8) you would be generating 31 requests up-front to save 10.8 subsequent requests for about half of your users. (And again - in any scenario where the number of js fragments transferred on subsequent requests >= 1 even this benefit goes out the window.) How does that save you or your users bandwidth, server load, or other overhead?

The scale is not quite linear, but generally speaking, if you get your number of requests down from > 100 to < 5, you'll be able to handle around 20x the traffic with the same number of web-facing servers. Or alternatively the same amount of traffic with around 1 / 20th the servers.

Would that have a material effect on your costs?

Central bank buying govt debt or QE is basically just maturity transformation. The Fed / ECB / BoE buys 10 year debt and issues cash which is also a form of govt. debt. IMO, when interest rates are as low as they are, it is foolish to issue short term debt. A lot of people like Martin Wolf and John Cochrane have been calling on govts to take advantage of the low interest rates and issue perpetual (or 50 or 100 year) debt and insulate themselves from sharp increase in inflation or interest rates.

> All pejorative has a literal interpretation that is not pejorative.

Even assuming that's true, it doesn't follow that every literal interpretation should be or is understood as pejorative, which leads to the question of why this one should be understood that way.

Given that toxic masculinity has specific definitions and specific criticisms to offer that distinguish critically targeted behavior AND also has associated discussion affirming desirable masculine behavior, it makes much more sense to treat it as a specific technique than a general attack on masculinity.

Unless, of course, you think that things like bullying or other forms of social violence for the purpose of establishing personal dominance or personal entertainment is part and parcel with masculinity. Which sounds kindof, I don't know... poisonous or something to me.

Based on the number of "affirmative-action" initiatives that I see all over the US, in many tech-companies (I don't know about other fields), I'd say that being a women, or black, is definitely a huge plus to get your foot through the door, with many recruitment programs blatantly saying they are only for minorities, which sounds to me like pretty much segregation in reverse, but that indeed seems to be the agenda of some leftists.

I always wondered if the teachers understood how much effort people put in. Especially in something like math, where you can't just waffle.

I got the feeling as a kid that a lot of my classmates would just give up. I mean they're sitting there acting like they're concentrating on math, but they aren't. In other classes intermittent attention is enough, you pick up social cues and repeated stories that you've heard, and poof you have a history essay. With math there's a need to have all the steps.

How do you control for that as a teacher observing the kids? How do you know whether a kid has actually tried to learn stuff at home?

I still remember my brother was baffled at how I got top grades in math when he never saw me studying. Of course I tended to do that when he wasn't around.
This is a great comment, thanks.
The last psychiatrist once wrote that women go where men are leaving.

I don't know if this is true, but it seems to pop up in several areas.
In an ideal world, we'd essentially have a number of software vendors that provide devices that conform to certain standards (we are mostly there in regards to peripherals like mice and keyboards, but not really in regards to Wi-Fi dongles/cards and other more complex devices).

Then, we'd have reference implementations for every single one of those, that would give examples of how to access this standardized functionality, possibly with abstractions over those. So on one end you'd have something like a wi-fi-networking-huawei library and on the other you'd have wi-fi-networking-generic library that could interface with the former and access its common functionality. Of course, as for how this could be written, and what the situation would be in regards to the C standard library or any other primitives for other sufficiently low level languages, i have no idea.

Then, you'd have a kernel module or a microkernel, that would contain the code to interface with the hardware and add all of the controls and permission management functionality, as other bits to integrate this solution with the OS. If one would go with the GNU Hurd approach, then integrating that within OS distros would suddenly get even more simple, except that Hurd seemed to fail at the actual implementation stage.

And finally, you'd have the OSes, which could implement code to interface with these modules, microkernels or add any number of necessary shims inbetween to get everything working together and provide the higher level OS functionality that's needed to use these devices within the OS context.

Of course, i'm probably oversimplifying some things, skipping a few steps here and there, but i'd chalk that up to the current approaches to using hardware in software being overcomplicated beyond need or belief, rather than me mostly being a business software developer, as opposed to systems software developer or hardware engineer. In short, there are abstractions in place already, i'm just not sure those are the right ones, but rather what was historically needed to get things working. So where's the big rewrite and learning from our past mistakes?

To me, it just feels like what we need is a set of meaningful abstractions and standardization, and not just in regards to making sure that there are security mechanisms in place for booting so the devices on which Windows runs can be limited to create more e-waste (snark) and motivate consumerism, but also to actually be able to use Wi-Fi in all hardware in 2021 in both Windows and Linux distros (not snark, literally had to compile custom drivers for my no name netbook).
Oh, so now eugenics is hip again?

Ofcourse genetics influence stuff, but so what? Does being less good at something means you are less human or less worthy? Does belonging to a population with certain traits an individual have those traits?

Humanity has gone through this road before, it turned out ugly, why do we need to actively persue a narrative that focuses on biological determinism given that it proved to be an extremely dangerous narrative?
And yes, this is a narrative, even when we find scientific evidence for facts that support this narrative, the organization of these facts and acting on them is always mediated by narratives which fill in the gap about the things we don't really know which are not these very specific facts.

The framing of the title here is a nice example for this fallacy. What are progressives that the title is mentioning? Is it an actual organised thought, or just some tribal strawman? It's just a narrative, and narratives are very effective in creating reality, we should be careful about them and not consider them just a force of nature we can't and shouldn't control. Exactly like how we as individuals don't blindly accept a determinism about our actions and abilities. So we shouldn't accept it for us as a society.

> The real moral issue is popularizing the idea that it is unfair or the gains ill-gotten if people are successful, that their earnings are like loot that should have been "divvied up". It comes from and breeds jealously, resentment, division, hate, and crab mentality.

That's not really what I'm saying. The ways in which society hands out wealth and power today are not necessarily the ways in which it always has or always will. What specific traits lend one toward success are a bit subjective and take different forms at different times and places. So if right now, some individual cannot succeed as easily as another, those tables may very well turn at some point in the future.

To the degree that we justify whoever is being rewarded now, because they are smart/resilient/beautiful (by current standards) or whatever allows them to succeed, we must also acknowledge that under different circumstances it may very well be that we would be congratulating someone else for completely different justifying reasons. By the same token, if someone is not rewarded by society, we should resist the urge to justify their lack of success in terms of some intrinsic deficiency, when indeed they very well may have succeeded with the same traits in a different version of society. The arbitrary nature of how society chooses to reward individuals clashes with attempts to justify the status quo, which would much prefer to describe outcomes as an inevitable consequence of various conditions, like genetics, that can be used to explain why some are wealthy/powerful and others destitute.

It is this framing that I find to be morally suspect, because it tries to justify the current social hierarchy in absolute terms, when the reality is a bit more complex and subject to the prevailing whims of the times we live in.

> If people do well because they are intellectually gifted, physically gifted, because they work hard or because their parents raised them well or because a coach just happened to see them playing basketball while sitting in traffic driving through a poor neighborhood. Then great. Someone else doing well does not make my life worse.

Agreed. I only want to acknowledge that these are but a few of the many ways society can choose to value its individual members. The genetics, or upbringing, or nutrition, or behaviors of those who have achieved success are not predictive of obtaining wealth or power in all versions of society, past and present, and so should not necessarily be treated as more important or superior in any universal way.

Two factors.

First, there are clearly a large number of people out there who have no business trying to pass algebra 101. Even if they theoretically could with sufficient effort and tutoring, it is not worth their time, nor is it going to lead to that much that is beneficial.

Second, teaching is already hard. Teaching math also requires an understanding of math that is rare. Hence finding people who are good math teachers is hard. Finding people who are good math teachers and willing to do it for a math teachers salary is even harder. If it were trivial to improve our teachers we would off course do it. But it is not at all trivial.

I think this matters less in a liberal arts college, but especially if you are going to ask students to build on their algebra 101 with other courses. If passing algebra 101 took a lot of effort, chances are that the other courses are going to take the same amount of effort, if not more.

I do NOT want to go back to the times when we had to write and ship individual drivers for each graphics card, sound card and peripheral we wanted to support in our software.

Could you imagine having to select the physical port, IRQ and DMA channel of your sound device for each app that wants to output sound? Because that's what had to be done in DOS and screens like this https://flaterco.com/kb/audio/PCI/DS-XG_IRQ_error.png

were commonplace. Good enough if you had well-defined devices like SoundBlaster(Pro) or GUS that you could auto-detect without crashing the PC, but a living nightmare with clones that didn't quite behave the same way.

So unless you only plan to support a single set of well-defined hardware, device drivers are a must.
Also I guess you HAVE to go back to your job. Everybody has to do their part for society.
