If my wife's experience in healthcare is representative of a larger phenomenon, then expect a massive shortage of health care workers just as boomers need them most.

People are getting sick of shitty jobs, regardless of pay, and I think it's going to force us to redefine some roles. Unless the economy absolutely crashes and makes people desperate enough to take these jobs, I think the trajectory is clear.

We might be able to import enough workers to fill the gap, but with the attitudes towards immigrants changing in the US, I'm not so sure.
We have htmx & hyperscript running in production powering a fintech saas.
It is fantastic in the way that all really good technology is: it just does what it's supposed to do so simply and efficiently that you kinda forget it's there, so you end up spending time where it counts (UX and business logic), instead of fighting finicky frameworks.
No-one in the real world cares about the supposedly great framework powering a web app - they just care that the app is fast, easy to use and saves them time and money.
My wife is teacher in the elementary school, and we have the same issues. Now with covid restrictions, changing all the time, is really hard to be sure that you are not braking any rule. One consideration however regarding your comment:

" parents view public schools as glorified daycare system"

We shouldn't forget that it is not just for the teachers that the world is getting complicated. Almost everyone is lost with family, job, personal happiness and etc.

I never took history of science, but read and enjoyed many many essays about the simple description of scientific discoveries, notably by Asimov F&SF essays and Stephen Jay Gould on deep time and geology and so on.

They're not reading every constituent message, many reps get thousands of messages a day. But they're seeing aggregated reports.

If a rep suddenly starts getting a thousand messages a day all supporting/opposing issue X, that's going to get noticed.

Generally a handful of messages is fruitless, but a persistent big batch can change policies, especially if it's between multiple alternatives the member is already OK with.

If 0.001% of legitimate mail has to go undelivered in order to prevent overwhelming amounts of spam/attacks from an irresponsible network that's an acceptable loss to most people in our civilized culture.

1. It's way more than 0.001%. Like, several orders of magnitude more.

2. What overwhelming amounts of spam/attacks? Those of us using traditional mail systems with traditional spam filtering seem to be doing OK not getting overwhelmed by incoming spam without the kind of "help" you advocate.

3. You don't get to decide what's acceptable to everyone else. Except that apparently you've decided you do, which is why regulation is needed to remove that ability from service providers who can't do their jobs properly and hurt others as a result.

If you want reliable service, choose a responsible ISP.

This is a poor argument. Any ISP that accepts significant numbers of customers will occasionally have a customer who is either malicious or operating with imperfect security allowing someone else who is malicious to exploit them. The decent ones will identify the problem and block it reasonably quickly, but there is plenty of evidence that they can still be blacklisted and it can still be difficult or impossible to get removed from those blacklists again after the problem is fixed.

The kind of policy you advocate punishes small ISPs just for being ISPs. I invite you to apply the same policy fairly and neutrally to larger organisations such as the major mail forwarding services and cloud hosts as well and see how long you survive in this industry.

Or maybe the rest of us should apply the same policy to organisations that do what you advocate. If they won't deliver mail reliably, we won't forward any mail to them at all, so their mail service becomes useless. Except of course it's some of the biggest mail services that do this, so just like no-one's going to block incoming mail from AWS or MailChimp, no-one's going to block outgoing mail to Google or Microsoft.

If you have a better solution for spam, the whole world would love to hear it.

Block actual spam sources and provide a reasonable method for removing blocks that are no longer necessary. Don't carpet bomb whole chunks of the Internet just because there are a few bad actors around. Don't fire and forget. It's really not difficult and plenty of small organisations operate just fine on this basis every day.

It is unfortunate that “for some folks any form of a test/quiz can be triggering” as quoted in the tweet.
And I’m not advocating for archaic coding interviews or on-the-spot exercises.

But our lives don’t always follow a project plan, work isn’t always planned well in advance, and our careers and experiences will always have a degree of randomness/variance.

Have we considered that Shopify wants to filter out people who can’t handle this type of experience? At some point “I have anxiety about X” is something this person may need to deal with if working at Shopify.

My point is Shopify can adjust work and policies all we want around peoples mental health but the company may not be able to guarantee that this person never encounters a triggering moment, and therefore they may have decided that is may be in their interest to “not be inclusive” of this type of personality.

This work is interesting, but it doesn't seem to acknowledge a lot of the state-of-the-art work in this area. Possibly that's because much of it is done in Programming Languages venues, as opposed to Machine Learning venues. It can also be hard to compare works because there are several proof languages that folks use (the big ones are Coq, Isabelle/HOL, and Lean), with mutually exclusive benchmark sets. However, the paper here cites CoqGym and Gamepad, ML-based proof synthesis works that work in the Coq language, but doesn't reference TacTok (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3428299) or Proverbot9001 (http://proverbot9001.ucsd.edu/), both of which are later works which significantly improve accuracy and performance on the same language (and for CoqGym, the same benchmarks). Disclaimer: I'm the author of Proverbot9001.
Who cares if they're correct? If they fail a test, you can fix them. If they turn out to be wrong in production you can isolate the example and add it as a test. Producing regexes that pass all current tests but contain a subtle bug satisfy 100% of what programmers are incentivized to do. Producing them very quickly will get you promoted.
not many come forward for helping. Thanks and appreciate your post.
This is a beautiful answer, thank you. It puts into words so much of what I’ve had at the back of my mind for awhile now.
What about that Federal government lifts all COVID restrictions, mask and vaccine mandates? England, Sweden, and Denmark already did that.

That will kneecap this convoy before they can even start.

Again, this is all about politics. Some people are sick of these restrictions and they want to vent their frustration. Facebook is making mistake of not allowing pages like this. I do not think these people are nuts or QAnon. They are just frustrated.

This metaphor doesn't do justice to parrots or language models. Parrots only speak a phrase or two. LMs can write full essays.

On the other hand parrots can act in the environment, LMs are isolated from the world and society. So a parrot has a chance to test its ideas out, but LMs don't.

Then you find a new manager, in a different team maybe, who aligns with your values and respect your strengths. There are many different types of people in any company. It takes 2 to tango, and I'm sure one of these managers will be delighted to find someone just like them!

As for punctuality, there are many people who are punctual but couldn't code their way out of paperback, let alone fight they way out of a soaking wet one :)

Guess who'll be brought in to the rescue when they predictibly fail?

Your perspective matters a lot. It will color your actions. Punctuality or even code reliability ultimately doesn't matter. What matters is if you can bring more money to the company, one way or another. If you are doing sales meetings, it may be punctuality. If you are doing tech work on the core infrastructure, it may be code reliability. Find your own niche, surrounded by people who like you and need the unique strengths you bring to the table.

The key difference is that it's a conscious choice on the part of the parents to invest in the child's education. But there are other factors. For example, most private education at the gradeschool level requires heavy parent involvement and even volunteerism. Private schools are generally much smaller. The school also has the ability to kick out troublemakers or those who obviously don't want to be there. Not to say there aren't problems in the private schools - there are. But you don't have to deal with people who are just there because the state law says they must attend school.
As a father, and as a pathologist who has seen talc in ovarian cancers (under the microscope it is visible with polarizers), talc should be taken off the shelves. It's used on babies but also young women use it trying to cope with their fears of odor and moisture (whether or not there is an odor or moisture, let alone the conversation of whether those concerns themselves were manufactured).

I was stand-offish at work for a few years, until I got layed off and realized "being a stand up guy and getting along with your co-workers" is a hidden requirement on every job description. For people like OP, it may seem like helping others "isn't like them." Well, sitting in a cubicle for 1/3 of my life isn't my raisin d'etre either. That's what the money is for!

My school had metal detectors. Wasn't a big deal. They were only for when you enter in the morning though. If you wanted to bring something in you could do it at any other time and leave it in your locker.
I read somewhere (that I can't find now) that the quality of teachers has gone down as the workforce has opened up opportunities for women. Jobs like teaching and nursing used to be some of the only socially acceptable professions for women, so overall the quality of teachers (and nurses) was higher. And since it was traditionally "women's work", with an expectation that a man would be providing a larger income to support the family, they were underpaid. (Fields like healthcare and teaching still are.)
The essential property of seals is that they are fragile and offer tamper evidence. Removing a seal or opening a sealed document is supposed to be destructive to the seal, the document, or both. Seals are still used for this purpose.

I know someone who would love to use this for a game that doesn't run on their own devices, but it's US$ 40.60/month in the UK ("starting at £29.99"). That's too much just to play one game a few hours a week. (A $2000 GPU is also too much).

Looks like a great service, and if you use it every day professionally it seems justifiable. But for gaming from time to time, with the machine shut down the rest of the time, that's a high price even by cloud GPU server standards.

If it were hourly pro rata, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure they'd subscribe today.

I was a bad kid growing up. I ended up at a pilot program consisting of about 14 kids, mostly more screwed up than me, and about 3 psychiatrists and 5 support counselors. It did basically nothing for the kids. The thing that helped me the most was my parents moving away and putting me in normal school in a different state and peer pressure helping me be normal.

That’s not really true. They get amazing benefits, pensions with retirement in their mid-50’s, and lots of time off throughout the year.

Additionally in most cases their unions negotiate their compensation. Clearly they wouldn’t work if their unions didn’t believe they were being compensated fairly.

You are repeating state department propaganda about Uighur camps. Most of the information about Xinjiang has been coming from CIA contractors and vague satellite photos. They were claiming that 2 million (out of 10 million) people were in camps until it became untenable to maintain this lie. There's no doubt that China is an authoritarian state with major human rights issues there, but it's not at the scale being claimed, and it isn't some unique or new situation as it is being presented, and they aren't any worse than the human rights abuses the US commits. For instance, the US has the world's largest prison population, which jails millions, disproportionately minority. This is just as egregious as anything China is doing in Xinjiang. And you've got the US killing millions in the middle east over the last few decades. Guantanamo bay is still open.

But yeah, China is the one who needs to be pointed out. How is it not obvious that this is an intentional campaign by the US government to attack China's image? They said nothing about Saudi Arabia or Israel when they marched out during the opening ceremony. And Israel is a rogue nuclear nation and apartheid state with millions in lockdown, which is not even hidden, and finally acknowledged by Amnesty International in the last few days. NBC's comments were to fawn over the first orthodox jewish woman in the Olympics. What's next? To fawn over the first evangelical christian doing whatever? The hypocrisy is frustrating in the extreme.
Around here (NL), notorious shoplifters are banned from certain shopping centres. The shopkeepers keep a list with photo's and share it among them. This is established practice (though I'm not sure how widespread) and isn't even considered a GDPR violation as long as the list isn't made public, since protecting yourself from fraud is a legitimate business interest.

Yes, in an ideal world this wouldn't be needed because you could trust the police to handle such cases adequately, but they don't. Hence, where justice fails, you see alternative systems prop up (also see #metoo, cancel culture).
... and you are correct! Edited my comment above to reflect that.

> The dev is just another hustler.

But this was really uncalled for even if this does look kinda deceiving and dark-pattern-ish.
That article is kinda garbage. I'm no fan of China but this seems like an obvious hit-piece on China. e.g.:

> One of those performing the symbolic act was the Chinese cross-country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang, who is of Uyghur heritage... That, to put it mildly, was a highly provocative act.

China gave an Uyghur person this high honor. It seems like a positive gesture. How is it provocative? Black people face systemic abuse in the US, are routinely shot by the police and form a persistent underclass but the US had Muhammad Ali light the flame in the '96 Atlanta Games. Was that a provocative act?

> For no amount of odes to peaceful coexistence can hide the fact that these Games will be the most controversial and difficult since Moscow in 1980. Perhaps even Berlin 1936.

More controversial than the Berlin games!? The author doesn't back up this well at all. The author also makes regular Olympics things seem sinister. e.g.

> When Xi was introduced to the crowd of around 25,000 bussed-in spectators before the ceremony began, TV cameras captured him waving and accepting applause for longer than usual, as if he was accepting several encores before the Games had even started.

This happens everywhere but he makes it sound negative.

> The fact that the US, Britain, Canada and others are staging a diplomatic boycott in protest at China’s human rights record is obviously a major factor.

US, Britain and Canada have beef with China and are using the Games politically. Nothing wrong with that but it doesn't make the Games and more or less controversial. US, UK and Can have previously not boycotted Olympics and other sporting events in other authoritarian regimes.

> But the severe Covid restrictions, athletes in quarantine, the lack of real snow, and a shortage of spectators are significant too.

Tokyo also had COVID restrictions. Vancouver and other Winter Games have used snow machines in the past plenty as well. The author mentions later "Earlier, when crowds arrived at the Bird’s Nest stadium they were handed hats and blankets to protect them from the freezing conditions". It does snow in Beijing and it was cold – it is not their fault it didn't snow.

> Within the first 15 minutes, a Chinese flag was also passed through a crowd of people said to represent ethnic groups across the country, while soldiers carrying the flag were then seen marching across the stadium.

The author makes this sound negative and propoganda-y. But in the Vancouver Olympics, the Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper sat with various First Nation Chiefs, but they're otherwise treated poorly in Canada. US often has soldiers even in non-national sporting events.

All in all, this is appalling and not what I expected from The Guardian!

The idea that a part of the government could be unchangeable even if 100% of the people in the country oppose it, seems not just dystopian but philosophically absurd.

As a compromise, though, how about having some rules about which laws the government is allowed to make, and requiring something like a two-thirds majority to be able to change those rules.

Then you could have a rule saying that the government can't make any laws that cause the people to not be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Actually you're right, maybe that won't be sufficient.

It's one of those things that's kind of useless if you only do a small number of miles a year though - if you don't have the ability to make the entire journey electric, you have to involve two locomotives and the cost to switch them. That might be why Battery-Electric looks good, as you only need to electrify the two stations.
But the teacher-student violence only normalizes violence in the minds of the victims. Consider that as the practice receded in the US so did the violent crime. I claim it's no coincidence. Yeah, I know, leaded gasoline etc. Whatever. That's my story and I'm sticking to it - violence begets violence.
