Gentoo is great, but similar to LFS it is kind of a time suck. I migrated from Arch to Gentoo and it took me a while to figure out the right kernel parameters and USE flags for my system.
Ah yes the "just the facts please" argument, regardless of context.

Turns out getting a teacher cred is a little bit more than "just" getting a undergrad, and has ongoing licensing requirements.

On one hand, kudos to the OP for using median rather than average, but still a single number to represent all teach jobs in a country with 300M people seems a bit weak. There's a lot of stories out there, and it's just not being captured here.

"Data data everywhere, but not an ounce of wisdom within sight" -- old proverb
The podcast Acquired.fm had a recent episode covering TSMC’s history and strategy that I found really informative (and entertaining!): https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/tsmc
I'm no expert, but I think the most likely is stealth technology. This could be profiles of components designed to reduce turbulence and thus reduce vibration, or structures that minimize reflection from sonar etc.

Since military tech is a cat and mouse game, having access to stealth tech could put you ahead of your competitors in the arms race, until they design another level of protection that makes current tech obsolete.
Not exactly a CEO but a founder - it can really be rough. You are really the less free person. Every step you take can have huge consequences - there's too many people involved in a deal, there's your team, your clients. You are always on the hook. And it's damn hard to sleep when so much depends on you.

But it is a rewarding experience - shipping your own product for the first time, seeing your teammates grow, working on so many different problems. It's worth it!
So? Bolsonaro is an integral part of today's Brazil. Does that mean being anti-Bolsonaro equates to being anti-Brazil?

It's completely disingenuous to suggest that recognizing the horrors of an oppressive nation-state equates to some sort of bigotry against the country itself.
My understanding is that it's used as an "interrogation" technique and that they don't really care what the machine tells them.
The thing about opinions is they are at best, shallow, and at worst incorrect.
Purely an uneducated guess, but I would expect that any information pertaining to noise suppression or operational tactics would be useful for someone trying to track them.
>but it only takes the government messing with the wrong person once to establish precedent.

Kind of like the case of police routinely shooting unarmed blacks and getting off scot-free?

This system seems to have worked wonders to prevent this from happening. Or maybe they just haven't messed with the wrong person yet, since Rodney King hardly changed anything, and Derek Chauvin's convinction wont either...
Long time ago (2010 or earlier) I sold some things on eBay/had money in PayPal only place I could cash it out at the time was Home Depot that was supporting their money... was interesting, would buy some peanuts/an Ice Tea.
Pretty much all data is useful in aggregate. Even how much power a sub can make can tell you something about it's speed or range
Might be off-topic but how did you get notified about the high traffic? If my website had a high traffic I would not notice at all. I do not feel like writing a script to notify me either.
Good article, thanks. It's worth pointing out that the summary (class hierarchy data descriptor > instance `__dict__` > class hierarchy other) only applies when looking up a normal attribute on a normal object:

* Special-method lookup (e.g. of `__add__` when you do `a + b`) works differently because it doesn't look at the instance `__dict__`, only the class hierarchy.

* Lookup on a class works differently because as well as looking at `__dict__`, it has to consider superclasses.

Much of the complexity relates to the different ways of handling the instance `__dict__`. By contrast, Ruby is able to have much simpler lookup rules because it never considers the instance, only ever the class hierarchy.
If pay overall is ok, is the issue wage inequity?
Seems to me that one of the advantages that students at elite universities have is elite instruction. Every Harvard or MIT class that I've ever audited online has been insanely easy to follow.

> In actuality, that person was an undercover FBI agent.

Does the FBI catch any actual real criminals these days or just entrap people? Every single major bust they do is just them raking in a few people stupid enough to engage with an informant.

How many of the Michigan kidnappers were FBI informants? How many people who organized and broke into the capital on Jan 6 were FBI informants? How many people who organized Charlottesville were FBI informants?
Last time I checked, the US was paying more per capita per student for education than any country in the world. And yet our education outcomes are consistently ranked poorly. I wonder where all the money is going.
Assuredly! I was careful to use the phrasing "is an integral part of", in acknowledgment that "China" is vaster/broader/older/etc.
Generally just the notion of doing this qualifies as a conspiracy against the United States. It’s one of the core statutes that Federal Prosecutors abuse to ensnare defendants.

3DES is essentially DES with larger key sizes (effectively twice as long, choosing 3 x 56 bit keys, ie 168 bits gets you a cipher equivalent to 112 bits of strength due to the meet-in-the-middle attack on such constructions) at a price of being three times as expensive to use. So, almost enough security to be acceptable, at a price of being far slower.

But, 3DES is still DES, the blocks are still 64 bits which is too small. Sweet32 is an example of a more-or-less practical attack (practical enough to demo, but probably never used in anger) that breaks 3DES for HTTPS by "just" moving a couple of hundred gigabytes of data over the wire.

Lucifer (the cipher that the NSA cut down to make DES) used 128-bit keys and 128-bit blocks. It is vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis (which the NSA knew about before academics discovered it, and so the NSA fixed it in DES). If you imagine Lucifer was instead fixed by a similar technique to the one used in DES but not shortened to provide a NOBUS there's no obvious reason Lucifer would be insecure today. There are most sophisticated analysis techniques than differential cryptanalysis today, but the defences in DES warded those off, and so you might expect similar for Lucifer.
Naval reactors tend to use HEU.

AIUI the mostly tightly held secrets are around the acoustics - acoustic signature, propeller design, that sort of thing. A sub relies on being hidden to carry out its mission, so anything that helps an opponent to find your subs has to be well guarded.
Hi! Author here.

My point with the article was to try and solve (and start a conversation) about some of the cognitive overhead problems of a frontend-backend stack. It's definitely not a monolith - hence the pseudo bit.

For me, the ease of a monolith comes with having a deeply interconnected system with similar standards. Little context switching.

About tackling bigger problems, I'll probably update it later once I face them. I'm a small, indie dev - I don't face huge problems!
Capabilities, technologies.

It's like asking why rocket engines are under ITAR. Rockets are just ICBMs without a warhead.

Knowing a technologies capabilities means you can focus on defeating the exact specs of the tech.

For example, F-22s purposely fly around with pods that deteriorate its stealth capabilities so nobody, not even allies, knows exactly how a F-22 looks like on radar/can study it closely.
Python is conspicuously missing from this list.
You will note that I suggest no such thing!

Dang is paid, which is obviously part of what gives rise to the dedication. And not that the vast majority of HN moderation is not openly communicated. It's things like score adjustment to push certain type of posts lower and boost others which are deemed to not have gotten enough attention.

It does. If you don't believe the source, then take that up with CARB. But don't act like information provided by a government regulator is hearsay.
I mean, if it hadn't been a honeypot, he might have got killed for pulling a stunt like that.
tailscale?
Material composition of whatever sonar absorbing paint they use to emulate it, the shape of the propeller to figure out it's sound signature, specs of the sonar system so opposing subs can evade it better, there's definitely good intel to be had.

Not an expert, but that's what comes to mind.
I suggest you look closer...

First off First year teacher can be paid pretty low depending on what grade it is, and if they are even working full time. Many first year teachers are not full time

In my city where the median Household is somewhere around 55K, there are several high school teachers making 80K+

I would urge you to look up the actual salaries for teachers with more than 3 years experience, most teacher salaries are part of the public records, there are databases out there that will show individual salaries.

If we are going to debate if teachers are underpaid we need to start with an actual fact base.

Finally the fact the position requires a degree has no bearing on the rate of pay.

So far, in the US, last I heard Pfizer requires a booster. We haven't been notified about Moderna but they might not require it. I assume that the initial studies on immunity are still tracking and will have some recommendation on what people with a previous infection should do. I would hope people follow that guidance.

Note: My last Moderna shot was in Feb, and its been radio silence and we passed the six month mark and are about to pass the eight month mark. I would hope they get done with whatever evaluation they are doing soon.
Here are teacher's salaries in CA.

https://calsalaries.com/job/teacher-salary

Average $97K.

I searched for an elementary school teacher, 1st Grade, in San Jose area to see a salary of $142.5K in 2019. Another teacher, 2nd Grade, had a salary of $141.6K in 2019.

To be honest, these don't seem too low to me.

Edit: Look at some of the salaries on the main page, $230K-$420K - I wonder who these teachers are in Elementary and High schools with such high salaries..

Edit2: Please note I'm not a teacher, nor do I have any family members who are teachers. I'm merely pointing to the data since I too was curious about it. I have no way of verifying that the data presented by that website is accurate.
Patents allow mathematical research to be excludable and thus not a public good.

Now one can argue that mathematical patents provide more costs than benefits, which is a line of debate I am certainly open to. End that, and math research would be a public good.

But in the system we have now, a huge amount of mathematical research has generated a significant amount of money for very many people, from the RSA algorithm to Penrose patenting his tilings (and getting money from toilet paper makers that used his aperiodic tilings to make their TP more fluffy [1])

What I think you mean to say is that the market consistently undervalues mathematical research. Unfortunately it's not so easy to actually demonstrate, because given the huge amount of math research produced, only a very small amount of that ends up being useful in the future and often the original discoverer is long dead. This is similar to the situation with other arts and sciences. A small number of people drive the field forward and the vast majority of scientific publications are basically filler. Certainly the world would be better with more effective funding mechanisms that we have on offer, which is basically a game of capture-the-grant.

> BUT... It is enjoyable once you have everything up and running of course, which on the other hand is a huge pain in the ass.

Yes. I’ve been waiting for this for a few years.

For someone to dumb down and actually support this process.

I can’t leave C and my IDEs behind. I can’t jump into a new product with RUST if there is no official support anywhere. I’m not payed to tinker with a setup, I’m paid to make embedded products that solve customer problems.

Give me an IDE. Or someone make a serious effort at Rust with VS Code or whatever IDE and some real package support. I’ll be there with dollars in hand.

I look at how much money and effort things like Zephyr or MicroPython get and it’s so strange that things with a ton of competition already or niche toys draw bigly - but something like Rust for embedded gets a couple of people making crates here or there.
If I suspect my mail is being intercepted, were I to receive a damaging letter my best course of action would be to immediately inform the authorities. I would assume they knew about it and let it through to try and entrap me as well as the sender.

No idea if this happened, but given it's common knowledge the US spies on foreign mail it wouldn't surprise me.
While the FBI's behavior in many cases is extremely suspect in this case there seems to have been legitimate contact between these suspects and real foreign agents in early 2020, prior to any FBI involvement.

The Smarter Every Day channel on Youtube did a series onboard a sub, and a couple of specifics that I remember being censored from the videos were 1) Performance characteristics of the sub (ie, how fast it could dive, how deep) and 2) How it detected other submarines.
Charge pump ICs can't supply high currents on their own and their output is unregulated. It's unlikely you would get acceptable results from the speaker if you followed this blog for guidance.
With money, you can in-house those services and scale them up if those "other" organizations won't scale up.
I'm happy that this exists, but it really should be a product supported and maintained by AWS rather than the user community, to ensure consistency with the real AWS services.
This is usually the case in the majority if not all government-managed sectors. Government tends to add many more layers of middle-men.
Load shedding as a technique seems to make sense but to me it never seems to be the correct tool to reach for. Of course you need some basic load shedding to handle ddos type scenarios, but anything beyond that seems like overkill.

At (work) our services achieve high availability (99.99%) simply by being composed of reliable parts. Most effort is focused here and it seems to have a good payoff ratio.

When we do try to add anything like graceful degradation it seems to strongly hurt code readability/ease of understanding because it requires additional code branches and either a fair bit of boilerplate or extra abstractions.

This could be a result of the scale we are at/the maturity of our tools but I'm interested in if anyone else has some hands on experience.
How do you disclose income from crimes?
I had each of them as a teacher in Denver when they taught there. Mr. Toebbe would tell me to stop “spinning my wheels” and try harder. I guess trying harder means selling nuclear secrets!
> Adding a new exception to a throws clause in a new version breaks client code.

Altering the return-type of a new version also breaks client code. Both return-types and thrown-types are kinds of results from your code, and both should be treated with similar rigor.

The main difference is that programmers are forced to get one of them right early on (in order to get their demo working) while the other is often ignored until late in development when you start needing to handle errors.

Conversely, always using unchecked exceptions "because it's too much work" is the same tradeoff as writing like writing methods that promise to return Object. Sure, it frees you from needing to plan, but it also makes it much harder for you (or another developer) to plan the next thing, leading to a snowball effect.
There is one more reason. When you write something that works in a loop, e.g. web server, exceptions are a huge potential issue. I was working on a C++ project with a very complex state machine. One day our service started using all 128 CPU cores just for stack unwinding. It was an ordinary exception in 3thrd party library raised on every request in the loop. We have tried to make a lot of optimisations in different unwind libraries. But it was far away from the performance of a simple Optional-like errors container as a return value. Exceptions are really Zero-cost if they occur only once when application should be terminated.
Did he tell you that during the interview??
Bankruptcy isn't a joke, either.

Besides, my goal is not to destroy the person. It's to make it costly for him to commit crimes against me.
So during wartime they’d jettison these?
Sure, but I'd bet on someone working with sensitive stuff not randomly admitting to getting $30k in Monero they can't really explain a source for.
It is ironic that for years teachers complained that parents did not care about their children's education, treated the schools has babysitters, etc.

Then the parents get wind of some of the things being taught in schools, take exception to it, and now they are conspiracy theorists or worst terrorists for wanting to have a say in their child's education.
He obviously doesn't know what the military is willing to pay for a hammer!
I suspect a large portion of it is how to make those components sufficiently silent to be useful on a military submarine, where sonar is your enemy's primary way of finding you.

how to build a nuclear reactor is relatively well-known. but, how do you make a silent nuclear reactor? that's really only useful for a submarine. it wouldn't surprise me if existing commercial reactor designs would need to be completely redesigned for submarine use.

for an example of how much research goes into making subs silent, there is a very deep lake in Idaho the US Navy has used for acoustic testing since World War 2 [0]

the navy also has almost 70 years [1] of operational experience with nuclear reactors on subs. I imagine there's a enormous pile of "minor" things they've figured out as they chase down every last source of uncontrolled noise on the boat.

> Responses like this violate the rules for the site and undermine HN as a place of discussion. I would love to hear a real argument.

You don't deserve a real argument. "Why not require reel mowers?" isn't a serious question. Figuring out an answer takes only a few moments of thought, or reading the first section of the law in question, wherein the legislature lays out the rationale and justification for the regulation. (The whole law is just over 600 words, so reading it is quick and easy.) The question is just a cheap rhetorical trick.

If you actually have trouble coming up with an answer to that question, or if you think banning all forms of powered mowers would actually be a sensible public policy, then you're welcome to share your thoughts on the matter in more detail. Until then, there's no reason for anyone to take such a silly and provocative question at face value.

I'm still waiting for the programming language that doesn't take off on tangentially obscure ideas, but address the three fundamental dimensions of a computer program, state, functionality, and interaction dynamics, on an equal footing and with a clean orthogonal architecture.
I've only met this mindset way back in Object-Oriented Modeling and Design 1st Edition, by James R. Rumbaugh et.al.
The book is not about programming language design but about how to use these ideas when programming in existing languages. Despite it being otherwise somewhat immature I remember it as a very inspirational read.
Maybe it is more interesting to see the rising housing prices as the real problem, instead of the salaries themselves.

Housing and Healthcare the 2 expenses that single handedly make America unaffordable. Food, travel and everyday activities are affordable enough. 4 year Student loans can be kept under $50k, if you work part-time to offset living costs and go to state schools.

$32k is criminally low, but the $60k number doesn't sound that bad to start. The US is large, and land is practically free. If the US just gets its act together, and starts building dense housing, they can offset a huge part of this divide. Ofc, they won't do that, but it is important to make the distinction between salaries being too low, and houses being too expensive for no good reason.
Most of the people here simply don't care that most of their peers are languishing at 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 their starting salary, years into their careers, despite engaging with our education system equally. In fact, I think HNers secretly revel in that fact. What's the saying? It's a feature, not a bug.
Japan or Taiwan are also possibilities, or some left-field options like Sweden.

I think France should be the short-priced favourite though.
It is like video and text. Text is so much denser and invoke your mental process. But seeing dune vs reading dune. No ether or I guess. Education process should tailor for individual. In ideal situation…
>a profession that requires a college degree- start at $32k. Embarrassing.

I remember a piece in the San Jose Mercury News (I've referenced this before, but haven't been able to locate it. I expect it was never put online) from back in 2000 about full-time public school teachers living in San Jose homeless shelters because they couldn't afford to rent or buy in the city where they worked.

I expect that in expensive areas, teachers still need to commute hours to work if they want to teach there.

That's appalling to me. Given that teachers, second only to parents, have enormous impact on the development of our children.
He also claimed at one point on twitter to be writing a novel under a pen name. Wonder if that's true and if it'll ever be outed, if so.

The problem may be middle-men and not private vs public.
There’s an excellent book I read almost 20 years ago that covers things like eating raw beef cubes with cold butter. It opened my eyes to a lot of things that weren’t mainstream yet. I actually remember learning about how raw milk is healthier for you than pasteurized and safer (for older humans).

Here’s the book if anyone is interested https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Will-Not-Microwaved-Underg...
I think teachers are being paid inline with their worth to society, neither overpaid nor underpaid on the whole. I am sure there are individual cases, or even regions where teachers are underpaid, or even overpaid. However on average I do not believe it is dire as the Teachers Unions would like to public to believe.
The dinner menu. Much more complicated to keep a hundred people happy under their sea for 3 month with no access to fresh food, than keeping a nuclear reactor running.
