I guess the question is what do you consider a long time?

RedHat usually break setups every 3-4 years which I personally consider way to frequent.

If I configure a server with automatic updates then I would like it to run with very little maintenance for at least a decade and a long time would be two plus decades.
I think it would be interesting to compare with Europe. It seems that iPhone is unashamedly dominant in US and Japan mostly. In Europe, android is very popular and I see a lot of kids using Huawei or Samsung.
I was going to say that I have not compiled a driver in years but I remember that I did compile a driver in 2020. It was to add support for a Xbox controller so that I could use it to play Steam games on my laptop. It was pretty straight-forward but I did have to run a compiler ( maybe via a script - I cannot remember ). I am not sure how easy it is to use an Xbox controller with Mac or Windows.

I am not a big gamer on any platform. In fact, I was using my son’s Steam account. He uses Windows himself but I was running it on Linux. I only played a few titles but they all played pretty well given that it was on an older laptop. Steam itself installed from the standard Manjaro repository but I did have to compile a driver for the controller.
My dissertation utilizes something known as the ICAP Framework developed by Mickie Chi. In essence, Chi breaks down learning activities by their levels of engagement, or Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive. For example, watching a recorded lecture without any other activities would be Passive. Higher modalities of engagement will provide higher learning gains, or I > C > A > P.

To that end, Passive activities are simply not enough; they provide some learning gains, but as we're seeing, you need something more. However, some students are not ready for Interactive exercises. For my dissertation, I liken this to the common approach in Intro CS courses where the instructor introduces a new topic, like loops, then expects students to immediately be able to implement it. My philosophy is that we need those Active and Constructive exercises, things like repeating steps (or drilling) which is done in other technical skills; however, when we branch into higher cognitive areas, they're immediately shut down as "not good enough".

I argue instead that we operate within templates, or we behave like we've trained, something stemming my my martial arts background. Right now I think 'virtual learning' has an issue where they're not willing to make this slight upgrade in engagement, for whatever reasons, because its not the magic silver bullet to fix all problems. Rather, in order to improve it, virtual learning needs to add those additional lower level practices into their instruction, otherwise we'll continue this vicious cycle.
The way I understood it, only the correct IP address would even be connected to anything, the rest would just fail. You probably could do something like that, yeah.
Where is this advanced Python echo chamber?

I’m a pretty good Python dev, but I feel in order to advance my skills I need to get into extensions … which I don’t have the time for.

Any suggestions on advanced Python resources?

I have both the Twsbi ECO M and ECO F, and the sweet spot is the ECO F. You just have to gently press the nib on a piece of paper a few times (deforming it ever so slightly to slightly separate out the tines), and the flow will be between the M and F.
I have yet to find anything anywhere near as good as the unified messaging interface on the Z10 and Z30. Absolutely everything was in a single inbox. I had one though most of my university years. Eventually had to give it up as apps like Uber surged in importance.

Now I spend far more time hopping around apps on my iPhone.
It's highly dependent on the country. Scandinavia is mostly iPhone, whereas Spain is a healthy mix.

If you're using wireguard don't you already have a secured connection and don't even need any of this?
> Maybe not, but is the target audience that shills out $20/month really the type of people who have optimized their site to such an extent that shaving 50ms off the request latency by having your edge cache geolocated is really the type of thing that makes the difference?

The common mistake is to pick a server geographically close to yourself, only access it from low-latency connections, and then assume that everyone in the world is seeing the same thing.

Or to only visit your own site with everything already in the browser cache. If you're not seeing cold start loads, you're not seeing what every new visitor to your website is seeing.

Consider the Photopea.com website. The author explained in a comment below that he spends $60/month to host the site without a CDN. Several of us loaded the site and it took 2.5 - 5.0 seconds to load. He could sign up for a cheap Cloudflare account, reduce the size of his server (due to caching), and the load times for everyone would drop by a significant amount.

If you're hosting simple, static content like a blog for an audience that doesn't care about load times, then of course nothing matters. But for modern, content-rich websites (photos especially) it can actually be a substantial improvement to add a CDN even if you have a single fast server. You may not see it, but visitors from distant locations definitely will see a difference.
And the US was already having issues in terms of STEM competitiveness...

I believe the term is "decline" or "decadence"...

I do not approve of publicly funding parochial religious schools, for example. This is a bad road to take.
The would-be-theocrats don't even comprehend the damage their wish's fulfillment would bring.

I had the misfortune of attending such a "school" once and found it full of fake curriculi and it set me back a year at a crucial time.
It was a total joke. I attended approximately 8 different public schools prior to that and after that, including some rather lousy ones, and all were superior to these weirdo cult luckily didn't have to spend much time in.

Public funding? public standards.
"weaponize laughter" is a clever sounding spin on what was said... however... a weapon is something designed to inflict damage. The comment above is about keeping people out who will inflict damage to an organization. Maybe you could call it.. using laughter as a shield
That's not how quote marks work.
Is it possible to live on English?
Schools are still bothered about attendance because that's what all the laws require. They get funding each year based on the number of kids who showed up almost every day the year before. State laws define the number of days and hours each year that schools must be instructing students. Here's the definition for WA:
""Instructional hours" means those hours students are provided the opportunity to engage in educational activity planned by and under the direction of school district staff,"
https://www.sbe.wa.gov/faqs/instructional_hours

And here are the required numbers in other states
https://nces.ed.gov/programs/statereform/tab1_1-2020.asp

So yes, the way they are running is stupid. But you have to convince a lot of people before they can run it differently, and none of them are down near the level of school districts.
> What room do you use in the house?

I have a storage room in my basement that I have my home office, music studio, and home gym in. No carpet, just a rug under my desk/chair.

Yes, see above.

> Do you move around the house?

When I'm not working on something warranting multiple screens (e.g. sitting on a conference call), I'll set up at the coffee table in my living room or in the kitchen.

> What other equipment? Microphone? Webcam?

- Blue Yeti microphone for when I need peak voice quality (giving training sessions, recording screencasts, etc).

- I use the webcam built in to the MacBook.

- USB-C docking station with power-passthrough.

- Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface into a pair of M-Audio studio monitors for when I need to get loud.

- Multiple mobile device stands.

- Coffee mug warmer
I reside in the US (not California), but I used to reside in the EU and California.

Can I make requests for data generated during my time in the EU/California?
Totally with you. I have 3 kids, they love being online and they love going to school. Online has distinct advantage that they are instantly home and get to eat home food etc. Like the author, we are flexible and home. I can't say everything was perfect.

My main goal is for none of us to get Covid, if we endured this much, I really don't need it now. There is 5 of us, if anyone gets it, everybody will get it, vaccines as you know, will not help you except keep you from dying.

I think this is huge opportunity, largely wasted, to actually figure out a good way to learn online.

Also, I think that most of those who complain and are working from home, they simply don't want their kids home.
> To not put the flight in schedule in first place when they know it has been empty multiple times.

That is a good solution.

That depends, I would argue that changing flight schedules is not just a slight inconvenience, its more than that.

Are airlines even a big source of co2 emission when you compare it with other sources, we should be tackling the biggest emission sources not the small ones.

I would feel much more comfortable with that bed concept if the outer edge had steel cables on a winch mechanism, or posts with hidden ball screws.

As it stands, their design would require some serious reinforcement of the walls and ceiling in the space the bed occupies for most buildings I've encountered.

What if the upstairs neighbor floods and the mattress becomes saturated with water? Will it come tumbling down, ripping out the wall and crushing anything underneath? Buying a bed suddenly becomes an exercise in actuarial science.
Oh man, Bullshido! That was a classic 00s message board. Thanks for the throwback.
Blame it on Jack Welch[1]. I can't think of a more toxic system. It has become pervasive and people bring it up as if it's some received wisdom from Gods or like some fundamental physics law. That you can rank humans on some imaginary "performance" parameter is just, let's say, inhuman.

I get that some are more impactful than others. But that's just a matter of so many parameters. IME someone producing less output has always been due to some shitty process/documentation/systems. I'd rather fix the underlying problem. But no, like some law set in stone, they have to be ranked and the bottom 10% must be yanked.

Well that was...some words.
What’s the alternative in your hypothetical? If it’s “never socialize normally again”, then hell yes I’ll fade the mostly prop guns. Even if the alternative is two years of these measures, I think the .99 nearly no-op and .999 survival is way preferable.

This will be endemic, just like the 1968 flu is. The sooner we can get to that point, the better.
It was 2019, so things may have changed but I doubt it. Maybe I was lucky? Or maybe you were unlucky. I also applied as a Senior SWE (mobile) if that makes any difference.

Out of the 12 companies I applied for I was given 2 hards (both were private startups), the rest were all mediums.

>nearly 100 lines of code involving multiple steps

I was never given anything even close to involving a 100 line solution. Are you sure this was even the correct/optimal solution? Either that or you're very unlucky. Which companies were asking such questions?

>50 medium problems could span all of the possible topics.

I was given problems that I hadn't encountered before, but I was able to solve them by deduction/critical thinking and applying the appropriate algorithms/patterns. Often the easy solution and the optimal solution weren't even that different, and just involved using a hashtable.

Grinding through hundreds of LC to try and memorize/familiarize yourself with the solutions really isn't the right method. Have you read Cracking the Coding Interview? Gayle McDowell has some videos on youtube in which she explains her process.

You keep moving the goalposts of your argument.

Allegedly misogynistic != actually misogynistic, and I’d personally not want Microsoft to be the arbiter of truth.

Also, it’s just wrong and immoral. If the allegations are true, him losing his job is to small of a punishment; if they’re false, it’s too big of a punishment.
In my humble opinion, the thread title should be renamed to include a short description of what Youki is. I think more readers on Hacker News will click to learn more about your project, which looks fascinating btw.
The contrast on that image is really low, so it’s hard to read.
I am the girl who filed the report. this is MY story. [name redacted] did not strangle me. We had a lovers’ quarrel. No one got injured. The police grossly exaggerated the story, and have since revised my account after I called them out on it. I have been working with the prosecutor’s office to get the charges dropped. Please respect our privacy.

Please do not spur on rumors and conspiracy theories, and use my case as your own vendetta, [name redacted]. You have defamed [name redacted] all over the internet, posting every 15 minutes, contacting his employer, coworkers, family, and friends. This is not sane. [name redacted] has a big heart, is so incredibly caring, fun, open-minded, and has invented numerous revolutionary programs to change the world and help others, which I imagine are reasons why [name redacted], you loved him, too.

I saw your messages begging [name redacted] to come back to you and that you loved him… Please, for your own sake, see a counselor and learn to move on, heal, and find someone who loves you the way you deserve and want to be loved.
Millions of people are being placebo'd by literally nothing except water. Homeopathic remedies are water, nothing more. Supporters claim there is some kind of special "structure" that water remembers. A phenomenon with no plausible basis whatsoever. A phenomenon which cannot be studied, observed, or falsified, yet one which can coincidentally be controlled to perfection by companies who make lots of money on their special bottled water.

Homeopathy is exactly equivalent to magic, which also works on millions of people! Tarot cards, psychic readings, crystal energy, aura repair, etc. All of these things are very successful in making millions of people FEEL better every year. The placebo effect is legitimate and powerful.
Not to mention that PrEP is not made to be injected, blood clots and other issues can appear. These natural medicine people are dangerous.
Would like to add that I do like the V UI.

We are talking about a cross platform UI with no dependencies, that was made to integrate from its early stages. This is partly why V is distinguishing itself from the pack.
> Vaccines are widely available for children and adults.

This is true for children ages 5 and above. From that perspective school closures now offer less benefit than school closures in 2020.

Children under the age of 5 still have to manage without vaccine.

If you can ace a 1 hour coding interview without any preparation then more power to you! But many of us have to spend months doing practice problems to perform well in that 1 hour interview. I’ve heard many stories of people doing hundreds of practice problems to pass these kinds of interviews.

I’d much rather dedicate a weekend to solve a take home challenge using technologies I already know than dedicate many months to learn a set of algorithms I would rarely use.
I'm switching to iPhone mainly for the higher quality of apps on iOS. For whatever reason, the same app is often of lower quality on Android than on iOS. Instagram and Facebook messenger are good examples of this.

$20 a month for a Static site? that feels like a first world problem. I feel like everything is over engineered, unless you need subsecond delivery of your assets which are very huge, cdn doesn’t even makes sense. For a blog whats the point, your site is not going to receive heavy traffic every hour from global locations everyday. If you are concerned about returning users cache your assets on their machine. If your site is video heavy I can understand. I run a Django site for a zoo on a $10 instance, I have 2 others running on same instance. Never had issue with page speed even on 2G or under load my instance didn’t suffer. My storage on s3 is proxied via Nginx and cached on user device and in Nginx, I never even had a downtime due to traffic. I use fail2ban for basic protection. If it comes to DDOS im behind cloudflare free tier. $20 per month for a blog? Lol.
Reach out on Keybase if you can. I'd like to know more.
Yes but a 2x price increase? It seems that Putin has actually triggered this by using Russia's energy resources as tools for foreign policy and worsened the energy crisis. Russia controls most of the gas pipelines to Europe except maybe for the SCP/TANAP/TAP and the ones from Northern Europe.
It used to be better on Android, but with Android 12, selecting text is even worse than iOS.
> Is it charitable to funnel your donor money to CF? I'm sure CF is grateful for the donation..

Is the job getting done for the donors? I bet they don’t care about $300 if it means the website is highly available and the maintainer isn’t burned out from giving away $200/hr of opportunity cost all the time.

> Fact: Things break most often because of humans doing things - changes, like deployments and config modifications.

Totally agree, and sometimes success in your project forces your hand as you are pressed to add functionality or need to scale. If you can guarantee that you’re doing this work once, ignoring hardware failure or scaling, the scales may very well tip toward self-managed.

For a vast majority of projects, I think it just plainly makes sense to go this route, hence the success of these centralized hosts. It is the pragmatic option.

PS. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry you’re being downvoted simply for having an viewpoint that others disagree with.
This does not work in practice because the majority of students will postpone watching all recordings until the last possible moment and then be overwhelmed with too much work at once. With physical or virtual attendance, the students are forced to schedule their time properly, although it is less convenient for the small minority of students who have the discipline to make their own schedule.

Digital workflows take time to setup. The most naive implementations are to use computers as fancy Xerox machines by printing, editing on paper, and scanning in. The next step is to stop printing and keep it on the screens. Like how paperless bills are the exact same documents but they get to save paper, postage, and mailroom staff costs. They have still constrained themselves to the features of paper. Page dimensions, each copy can only be worked on by one person at a time and the resulting version conflicts, and manual review. Finally there’s terminals that make no pretensions as to ever exporting natively to print and can exploit automated processing and data transfer APIs.
That's a technique for avoiding criminals outside the reach of US law...
Khan Academy already does this. They have high quality content on a lot of subjects for K-12 and some for college level students as well. And yet, the adoption of Khan Academy is very limited.

So based on that (albeit with a sample size of only 1), it's unlikely that any [inter]national effort will make any difference.

Plus, people getting recorded videos for learning will feel cheated because they could have just got this for free online. What's the point of paying for education? Very few people actually have/ask doubts in class. Source: am a student.
Sure, whole countries would be in chaos... but only for a few days, I think. FB isn't doing anything original anymore. There's tons of clones and some are markedly better.

Yea, maybe a few businesses would fail, maybe some people would lose contact with old friends. But if fb is the only way you keep in contact with someone, do you really care about them?

Cost benefit analysis is easy to do, actually pulling the trigger is hard.

I'm a fan of Julia and have used it and will continue to use it for a lot of my daily work which involves running numeric simulations, but I agree with your critique.

I feel like the ideal language would combine the strengths of Rust (static type checking, great LSP, better threading, better package manager, easy compilation without a large runtime, etc.) with the focus on the scientific computing domain and all the associated trade-offs that Julia has. Maybe it's not possible to have the best of both worlds, but it sure would be nice.
