I'm losing the thread of this conversation. The original poster said that OSU costs around $30K per year, with $15K for tuition and school fees and $15K for living expenses. The person who replied said their wife only paid about $15K per year for online courses, which is in line with the above mentioned costs.
Eliot himself explains in no uncertain terms in his seminal essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent" that what he intended to accomplish, and views as essential to the poetic form, resides in the referential nature of poetry to the past or "tradition", and the poet is a mere conduit or at best a curator of material that already exist. Although it's arguable that even he himself did not follow this dogmatic way of constructing poetry, his thesis effectively defined modernist literary criticism for decades. In that vein, it's not unreasonable, but also not top-of-mind, to connect his works and purported ethos to crosswords, as crosswords are necessarily referential but it had the flaw that it was not necessarily consisted of expressions of emotion and art via channeling tradition in a newly curated manner but rather, the expression of another, more "pop" form of culture that existed at the time. The connection between him and crosswords may very well be a product of the immense popularity of the crossword during his early adulthood when it was viewed as an almost transgressive element in society that, among other things, served as the convenient conduit du jour for mixed-gender interaction in social settings set up by clubs dedicated to these puzzles.

But I really consider Eliot the first poet who openly advocated for what we'd consider "sampling" or "mashups". Although actual tech that could be used to sample music wouldn't exist until 30 years after Eliot first expressed his sentiments, and musical quotation certainly have existed before that, musical quotations are seldom directly acknowledged and never formed as the basis of a work in its entirety. Eliot did not necessarily quote verbatim every reference he made, but he made extensive footnotes directing to the source in many cases and in other cases used references to works popular enough that notation would not be needed. I very much think that what was being expressed by his works, starting with Prufrock but really peaking before the Four Quartets, is an attempt at legitimizing a way of creating art that served as a precursor for hip-hop and electronic music today.

Solving the Christmas Puzzle
Hey all, Chris from Upways here. Wanted to share a little bit about the story behind this and why I think its useful. Apologies in advance, this is a long one.

During the pandemic I suffered from some serious burnout from a programming career that took a major toll on my mental health. Being a few years into a new SWE role, going to the office was a great change of scenery and gave my days a pretty good lift and progression that I found I really missed when remote work became the norm. My employer had outstanding resources for support and my managers all were incredible at looking after my needs, but even with all of that I felt that my personal life story apart from my job was fading away. WFH became work in this room, sleep in that one, eat in that one, etc and my headspace was so consistently occupied with details around the products we were building that I had lost track of the big picture in my life, where I’m going, and what I value and aspire to do as an individual and not as an employee in a large organization.

I really needed someone to follow up and check-in on me for my goals in the music industry, and overall just stay on top of the things that had nothing to do with my career, so I started a service called Upways. Upways is essentially a team of accountability partners who provide recurring, structured 15-minute check-in calls (1 to n times a week) to make sure you are staying on top of your personal goals, tasks, and productivity outside of work. We do this by calling you at set times each week and asking a few simple questions about your stated goals: 1) What did you complete? 2) What prevented you from not completing something? 3) What are you going to do doing next? - all tracked by a shared google doc.

I originally started doing the calls myself since I was so familiar with the check-in format from my day job, and I really just wanted to see if I could earn some money by talking on the phone with other people and providing value instead of programming all day. In time I built out a team of socially-skilled professionals who range from social workers to accountability/relationship coaches with the key hiring criteria being dependability and hands-on experience with structuring and supporting concrete life goals. I’m proud to say that as of today, we’ve helped people stay on task to successfully build careers in painting and music production, repair damaged relationships, prepare for exams, launch podcasts, lose 60+ lbs of excess weight, prepare for interviews, get job offers, write novels, start/expand internet and in-person businesses, and perhaps most relevant of all - write cool software that matters to them.

It’s been an incredible experience doing all of this in just less than a year since starting out, and my aim is to share this service with the highly talented, creative and motivated people on HN who could use another person in their corner when they’re pushing forward on goals that seem to only matter to them. If this sounds useful to you, I encourage you to check us out or ask any questions. Happy to answer any on here on HN or chris@upways.co. Thanks!
Can testify it does a number on male development too
No, that’s not a fair AKA at all. I’ve seen multiple million dollar projects get built from the ground up, and they all required large amounts of synchronous communication to get started that wouldn’t have been feasible in an all-remote world. I want to emphasize that I’m not saying this out of any personal attachment - I absolutely prefer to work remotely and I hope that going into the office 5 days every week stays obsolete. But companies (and employees) that go all-remote are going to face a real price in innovativeness for doing so.

Review: Julia Galef's the Scout Mindset
It generated 'quest' from "What is your" and the latter half of the moon and meaning of life questions. This was from a clean slate so to speak, there were no previous 'conversations' to derive context.
My ideal college would be 2 years of straight up technical computer science/math, followed by straight going into the industry. If you want to learn theory in depth, that is what grad school should be for.
It’s easy to say that the crippling cost of higher education is behind this drop. And while college admins are slowly turning the screw on American students, this is more of a gradual process. The immediate drop here is from foreign students deciding to stay closer to home as a result of the pandemic, visa restrictions and a drop in value of actually getting to experience the culture:

I am more surprised that there are no hundreds of clones around, it is so easy to do. Original is fully client-run, it is even has a dictionary unencrypted inside bundled js-file.
Nice! My grandma enjoys mobile games but is, uh, let's say she's not a pro just yet. This is something she can do! Let's see if she'll enjoy it :)
I love when a project transitions from clean to shitty code (which eventually happens as quick fixes and shortcuts pile up). At that point I can start iterating much faster since I no longer care about making everything as clean and smart as possible. The battle is already lost so I can just embrace it.
In the field of active climate engineering one can try dispersing aluminum [0] or/and (synthetic) diamond micro-particles [1] in the stratosphere to reflect some of the Sun's light back into space. Especially useful because the effect is temporary and self-healing. An accidental "ice age" will resolve on its own in few months after one stops replenishing the stratosphere with the particles.

For some perspective, in Germany we've seen rising number of university students since 2007: 1.94M students in 2007, 2.94M in 2020. From 2020 to 2021, numbers have stagnated (+0.1%).

There's few private colleges (mostly international business schools I guess?), a large majority of students goes to the public universities. The eduction is free, but you pay a few hundred Euros per semester in administrative charges, which usually includes a ticket for city or state public transport.

You can get a loan from the state (BAföG) to cover living expenses, which you will pay back after finishing, when you have a job (well of course things are more complicated, but that's the gist). The maximum amount you have to pay back is 10.000 Euros, even if the size of the loan was larger.
The Theranos Fraud, Discussion
As long as you're willing to walk if this fails. Also, be aware that your card will be marked and considered somebody who will try this again in the future. I'd expect most companies would reduce the risk of such by making sure what you do has overlap with others. Come the time I expect you'll be managed or re-org'd out the door.
Bitcoin/crypto as you say are not illegal drugs. There's no inherent moral outrage like there would be for murder/rape/theft/selling crack to an addict slowly poisoning himself and visibly robbing his neighbors. Convincing the populace to wage the kind of war-on-drugs style attack that would be necessary to snuff it out will be even more difficult to sell to populace than it was to sell the need to imprison drug dealers.

All I can say about stopping crypto-currency, is good luck. The Crypto Stasi or whatever oppressive mechanism that would be needed to actually snuff it out will have to shoot me in the head to make me stop. I'd happily keep trading and mining crypto from cellphone smuggled up someone's ass into the prison or whatever else is needed to keep the system going.
I've learned to embrace the jank. Architecture matters, but implementation rarely does. You can sit around all day dreaming up a perfect parsing library with full test coverage and a pure functional API to do some string manipulation, or you can smash out a 20 line function that works for your case and move on with your life to things that matter.
On the other hand, I think it was common in a lot of places for a long time for families/clans to settle disputes internally - if someone was killed and everyone agreed it was justice, then it wouldn't end up reported/remarkable. This is probably the category that most intrafamily disputes would fall into.
Despite an online education, the student must still remain living somewhere. $1200/month seems a reasonable estimate for a college life.
Could be, but YouTube does, not for all, but for many, know if the video is a music or not.
It's a simple economic argument. If students care only about quality, Universities will only care about it also. And improving quality leads to higher price.
I'm a straight white cis male well into adulthood and somehow I've never been "forced" into this diversity training you're concerned about. I've never seen it happen. I don't know a single coworker who has had it happen to them. I don't know a single friend who has.

If you've been "forced" into diversity training, especially if it's happened to you more than once and doubly so if it hasn't happened to others on your teams - you might want to engage in a bit of self-introspection.

Your comment really feels like the kind of comment I would expect from someone who does in fact need 'diversity training'.
>The predatory part is the pushing kids who don't understand finances into taking massive loans with high interest rates.

There's literally lectures and a quiz you have to pass before you can take the loans that explains how repayment and interest rates work.

For public loans the actual amount doesn't really matter because payment is income based. And the cap on lending is around $60k for 4 years, so I'd hardly use the word massive.

>"why don't you go to uni?"'

Of course all this only applies assuming you're American, which I'd guess your not since your friends call it uni.
Thank you! I never tire of learning how people learn.
They're calling the SQL query "output" (from the app to the DB server). The point is that the "bad characters" depend on the context, so it's the step where you combine trusted and untrusted data that you need to think about escaping or validating.
I had a similar experience. Much better teaching at the two-year school than at the four-year. One of my upper-level professors didn't even teach at all; he just threw us a book, said "read this," and then we didn't hear from him again until the end of the semester.
> a highly concentrated city as well, that few other places can rival

If you mean population density, New York isn't even particularly competitive once you get out of the USA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_cities_by_popula...

I lived for 8 years in SF without once driving a car, so I'm not sure what the "car town" thing means in this case.

And yes NYC is a global city but not more than LA is. Per the NYT, LA had 277 deaths per 100K and NYC had 435. Not sure what the argument is here.
I want to change the size of the letter grid... Maybe to 10x10?

Also, I want to change the aspect ratio of the grid. :D

So, a 10x10 letter grid with a 4x3 aspect ratio.

Edit: the example is the letter Q, and somehow it has sub-grid lines. If you take a look at the top two corners, you'll see the line's points are between grid-points. Is there a way to turn off snapping?
Yes, we shouldn’t penalize people for getting an education and becoming better citizens. Many are drowning in the non-absolvable debt for student loans. And the entry level out of med school is a residency making a third of that number.
YouTube is no longer a video hosting platform built on the best tech. They're a video discovery platform built on network effects. And any startup or open source project that wants a piece of this pie is going to have to win on that front.
Yeah, it's a different contract for film crews. I worked in DTLA for a few years and when you go to a lot or building that has been rented, there is always a bill posted on all entrances letting you know you may be filmed. I believe it's a permit given by the city.

You can't just start filming or setting up without going through the proper channels.
Not if you profit from war.
this is awesome. It reminds me of early youtube when you could go to the new tab and watch videos from randoms pouring in. The glory days before youtube face. I hope they add some more features, like navigation and control, and maybe choose a country or continent. And make the UI more obvious, it took me a minute to realise I could stay on a video by tapping the circle.
Sometimes. I've also seen companies that have the ads up continually because it shows investors they are a growing company - they are not actually hiring, they just keep running ads to look like it.
>Part of the reason modern lots are so big and why parking covers so much area is simply because cars are too big! There is zero reason a person needs to own a 7 seat SUV to transport 3 people or five 2x4s twice a year. The proliferation of oversized vehicles continues to exacerbate a significant number of local and global issues and I'm of the belief that we need strong regulation to limit the size of vehicles.

I'll ignore for a second that I completely disagree the size of cars are the issue with parking lots. As someone who has a large truck, the spots are not designed for it, they're designed for a mid-size sedan. So, you aren't shrinking parking spots unless you're planning on massively increasing insurance costs due to all the door dings and bumper scrapes that will follow by making parking spaces smaller.

Who decides what is "large enough"? The family with 3 or 4 kids who has to take them to sporting events on the weekend like football or hockey and ALL of the requisite gear just have to take multiple cars now to fit everything? And that's going to be better for the environment or society? What about a weekend trip to the cabin, they need to buy and store a trailer now to have enough room for their stuff? Because unless you've got a solution to those among dozens of other issues, no legislator in their right mind is going to back significantly decreasing the size of cars. If you want to find an issue opposed from both sides of the aisle, try telling people they are going to have to start towing a trailer everywhere to get their kids to sports on the weekend.
non profit institutions are bound by the same constraints

sustainable ones do not move all of it to expenses or purpose

the answer of why is that the buffer allows them to continue existing. if there is any disruption in money coming in, then they cease to exist.

I understand you are wanting a different discussion that I didn't offer, based on wanting a reason that has nothing to do with moral legal or societal. There are more for profit organizations because it is easier to set one up, it is "permissionless" whereas a non-profit requires approval.

for profit and non profit are bound to the same fundamental constraints and I think that is misunderstood by many. both types of organizations have the capability of having none left over. both types of organizations have the risk of having a disruption in their ability to exist. both types can keep more for themselves. this is not a moral issue.
This “synagogue” is not what it seems to be
It being trained on eliza transcripts also perhaps explains why it's so "good" at having a conversation... sounding much like eliza.

It's actually pretty amazing how "good" eliza was at having conversations, not using anything like contemporary machine learning technology at all. That first conversation snippet in OP that OP says is "kind of scary" is totally one Eliza (or similar chatbots) could have. Weird to remember that some of what we're impressed by is actually old tech -- or how easy it is to impress us with simulated conversation that's really pretty simple? (Circa 1992 I had an hour-long conversation with a chatbot on dialup BBS thinking it was the human sysop who was maybe high and playing with words)

But I doubt you could have used eliza technology to do code completion like copilot... probably?

If they have to make it undischargable in bankruptcy, that is a pretty big clue that the loan is usurious, IMHO.
Don’t bother reading this one. This person starts by saying they have lost their mind and they have. I’ve seen more coherent tantrums by 2 year olds, except 2 year olds would not swear this much. I could not even count the number of completely false assumptions made in this article.
It's obvious to me and I imagine most programmers, too.

However, as a data engineer I've been at some companies that treat SQL differently and seen bad practices that I believe the article is addressing, like putting SQL statements as stored procedures or materialized views instead of in git.
This sounds like dishwashers complaining about paper plates not surviving enough rinses in the sink. Of course someone whose living depends on adjusting, overhauling and replacing parts on bikes is going to claim that the central principles of what makes bikes great is their ability to be adjusted, overhauled, and have parts replaced, and of course they are going to push for all bikes to be required to be repairable. It's also worth noting that no one walks into a bike repair shop to show off the bike they purchased at walmart which doesn't need any repairs; mechanics are predisposed towards seeing the worst cases. I'm sure the mechaincs feel bikes should be made to a higher standard, but is this actually what's best for consumers?

If someone is going to be biking a lot, it makes sense to invest in a quality bike which will stand up to extensive usage and be easily repaired when something inevitably does fail. But lots of people bike only occasionally, and would rather not bike at all than pay for much more bike than they need. For these people a budget bike could be a great compromise. Paying a lower price for an inferior quality product is not some alien concept confusing the unwashed masses, it's standard practice that everyone expects. People can take their time deciding on a bicycle to purchase, and can completely walk away if they're not satisfied with any options; consumers worried about a bad deal can easily go online and look at reviews and recommendations for bikes.

While there may be some merit to requiring budget bike makers or sellers to perhaps label their products to indicate their expected lifespan and thus make it easier for consumers to make informed decisions, people should have the option to go to a convenient location and quickly buy a cheap bike if that's what they want. While I'm sure its proponents mean well, the proposed "minimum durability standard" would make cycling more inaccessible and restrict legitimate design choices.
I wish this article also covered how google manages sql like code. In my projects I have sometimes struggled with keeping my table definitions, constraints, functions, etc in sync with the SQL in my git repo
I doubt the stagnation is the fault of poor hiring practices.

More likely has to do with monopolization and business models that favor advertising over users.
Former Uber Chief Security Officer to Face Wire Fraud Charges
1. Don't let the customer decide the deadline.
2. Don't accept to work for a fixed fee on code you don't own. It's per day or per week... and no promise.
3. Don't answer the customer outside your open office hour. Put some strict limits about your availability.
4. Rise your fee. As others already wrote here, the smaller the customer, the higher they will feel entitled about your work.
5. Have a written contract. Don't accept close you don't like because "we never use them".
6. Be annoying about the description of the job, and the definition of done.
