> Let's say you take your kid out of school because you don't like what he's being taught in history class or whatever. Okay, well do you have what it takes to teach your kid music, art, geometry, calc, English, physics, biology, chemistry, etc. Most people I would say don't have that kind of broad capacity.

Anyone who was able to graduate high school back when that meant something can teach all of those subjects to the end of primary school if they’re willing to read and put in some work, by any reasonable standard.

Trying to use Python on the web or mobile is a lost cause. Use JS/TS or wasm generated from rust, that’s what is was built for. I regret spending time writing backend web frameworks in Python too. Most backends you’d hack together with Python can be built with TS and save you the headache of using PyPI along with npm, as well as rewriting your types, logic, and algorithms in multiple languages.

Plus there are actual companies putting continued investment into V8 and react native, since their revenue depends on it. Python is a liability when it’s used in anything other than developer tooling.

Everything in Python feels like it was made by some passionate oss devevelopers. Cool stuff, but not sustainable or ergonomic. The type system is kludgier than typescript’s and not as strong as rust’s. Python’s async APIs are embarrassing compared to JavaScript’s.

Sadly this feels like one of those projects that should have been abandoned or pivoted before sinking so much energy into it.

I love Python and still use it all the time. But for anything UI related I stay away.

Not exactly the same issue, but this general category of silliness is why I use Zsh for most of my scripts, instead of Bash or "Posix" Sh, whenever I can get away with it. The programmer experience in Zsh is much better than Bash around anything related to parameter expansion, quoting, and arrays, while still more or less using the same idioms and syntax.

In addition, the Zsh equivalent of the Bash "strict mode" is a bit stricter. Here's mine:

I've yet to meet a manager whose only job isn't a futile attempt to make themselves relevant to the process.

Only useful managers are those who are actually performing a dual-role as some sort of social lubricant for the team. You could just replace that manager role with a social engineer whose responsibility is to further psychological safety for everyone, and drop the pretense that they know anything about technology or manage what everyone should do.
The fact that crisis-driven projects are successful points to the problem: delays.

In any sufficiently big project, I'm coming around to the opinion that there's some amount of timeline that results in an effective "never".

I think it's just that at some point, people stop caring? Or at least feeling like they have any motivation to hustle?

And once that happens, the end result in lethargy and a grinding halt to actual progress. Even if checklist items seem to be getting ticked off.
I didn't say these people don't have trucks or employment driving trucks. Clearly they do. But that the misrepresentation that they represent truckers, instead of just being some small subsection that have trucks, is misleading.

Again, all logistics are happening like normal through this whole event. Cross border traffic (despite vaccine mandates on both sides) at normal levels. National traffic at normal levels.

You can take virtually any field and find some subsection with these sorts of "beliefs". Coders against mandates. If someone smeared all coders because some subsection of HN stood honking horns at parliament, wouldn't that embarrass you?

I was in a similar spot when i was in your age, 6 years ago. Had a well-payed job an all, but felt like life was escaping away from me. Like the feeling of is this it? I was close to buy an apartment and settle down for good. But something inside me was nagging at me that this was not the right move.

So, a week later I told my boss i would be leaving for 7 months and that i would not take no for an answer. I took all that money, and spent it in a backpacking-trip in latin-america by my self. At 35 years of age. Totally out of my comfort zone.

- It was one of the best decisions of my life.

I made so many new friends around the world, tasted food that I didn't know exists, climbed mountains, dived with hammer sharks in Galapagos. Hiked in landscapes of indescribable beauty. Had a joint under an amazing sky of stars in atacama.. Met beautiful women of totally different cultures. And finally met the girl of my life.

To say the least, it changed my life. I am a much more open-minded person. I look forward to go to places I haven't been in and interact with nature in a much deeper level. I appreciate the differences in all of us much more now than before.
The world is a beautiful place, and you should experience it to the fullest.

I submitted this because I found it to be an interesting first-hand account by someone living directly next to the Ottawa trucker protest.

There's something I remember being told (or maybe read about too) related to the gift culture of extreme poverty as an adaptive behavior for survival, but that paradoxically keeps people in poverty poor.

The basic idea is that you and all your friends are poor and someone comes into some amount of money, all of that money is pretty much immediately spent on helping friends or just material purchases rather than saving or planning. Partly this is because there's some feedback loop to expecting money not to last long, but also because then everyone in the community is spending money on everyone else. When you need to rely on the help of friends to survive at that level, being generous when you come into money makes it more likely your friends will help you in the same way.

This gets taken to an extreme where there's pressure to not save. If you're found out to have money and have not immediately spent it you'll get shamed by your peers for being greedy or for acting better than them. Then if you end up needing financial help later maybe they won't want to help you (which at poverty level could be existential).

These kind of social local maxima are really hard to break out of.

> What is commoditized is the engine side of a diesel locomotive, that's your run-of-the-mill CAT, MTU or whatever industrial diesel engine. As long as it fits into the locomotive body and accepts a hydraulic or electric generator at the output, it can be used. IIRC there even were some experiments with gas turbines on French high-speed locomotives, but these had atrocious fuel economy.

The diesel prime mover is usually an EMD or Wabtec/GE engine in the US - very few mainline locomotives use anything else. They are medium-speed engines and two-stroke (EMD) or four stroke (Wabtec/GE with some EMD Tier-4), built to be reliable, cheap and nearly indestructible. You can swap other engine makes in, but usually with worse reliability and performance.

Outside the US other engine makers are more prevalent, but interestingly US engine designs are the most numerous (except in former Soviet states and China). In the US, newer non-road engines may use Tier-4 MTU or CAT engines for eco friendly power, but they're still the exception and not the rule.
I recommend you check out the app from Monash [1]. It’s a paid app but really worth it and its been incredibly helpful for me (I say this as a user, not affiliated with them). AFAIK it contains the largest number of tested foods and they keep adding new foods and retesting and updating older food quantities and list out the specific fodmap associated with each food.
From what I have found online, every other source is either outdated or mostly copies the data from here.

ICYDK (From the studies I have read online) Researchers from Monash were the first ones to identify low fodmaps and they continually release research studies in this area.

To answer your question about chickpeas - right now I see 2 different tested versions in the app - one is Canned chickpeas - this says quarter cup (42g) should mostly be fine but half cup (84g) contains moderate amounts of Oligos-GOS (one of the fodmpas).

Green bell peppers - 52g should be ok but 75 to 80g contains high amount of sorbitol.

The app uses a traffic system (red, blue, green lights) to indicate the quantities

For the languages it boils down to availability of relevant ecosystem and developers in my experience.

Why react-native, well, because it means you have access to one of the largest ecosystems and an awesome tooling catalogue. The same applies for JS as the language of choice for App (UIs). Kotlin was also a great candidate since it could leverage the already mature Java ecosystem for android.

Flutters success is an outlier here that I would guess is due to Google backing. The resources and docs are good and you could rely on financial and developer backing. The decision to go with Dart was most likely to make themselves not dependent on another party for a core utility and to have a steering position on the overall projects course.

If, for example, Microsoft would back a good C# cross-platform framework I would bet on it at least seeing moderate adoption.

Edit: As another commenter pointed out, GO has a cross-platform GUI Framework option - Fyne [https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne]

The craziest part is that most teachers are doubled as law enforcement.

I have several teachers in my family and have been teaching for 11 years. In my life I have met at most four people for whom teaching is a calling. Teaching is a job, not a priesthood.

I get where you are coming from with the satanic panic. I do think that some of the "excitement" around the topic is over the top. But even without it, I think there a some fundamental considerations and choices for people to make about how their kids are educated.

You response beggs a really interesting question: where do new ideas come from and how do they spread in society. It is clear that there are generational difference in opinion that change over time, so kids get new ideas somewhere. Clearly their friends and the media are a big part of it too, but where do those opinions come from?

I think education is a big part of this, even if it isn't always overt (sometimes it is). If most of your teachers buy into a specific ideology, that certainly colors what they teach. If you are teaching soft subjects like literature, history, ect, there is a lot of subjectivity in how to interpret things and frame them.

For the overt stuff, my friends 2nd grader recently became obsessed with climate change. Their teacher had them making protest signs and marching around the elementary school, and now they ridicule gifts that aren't eco friendly and think the world is doomed. While I believe in climate change, I think it is a complex topic that most adults fail to comprehend, let alone a 2nd grader.
A locomotive can still output a transformable voltage if you disconnect the traction motors and instead hook them up to something else. A Diesel-Electric engine really is just a generator riding on top of an electric locomotive.

In this case they took MLW M420W locomotives and just straight hooked them right up to the local grid.

The Peter Thiel Paradox
The debian build system already runs `make -j$(nproc)` whenever the package supports it. So in principle sometimes I'm running 1024 (32*32) concurrent compilations, but it's rare for that many to actually be active at once (most builds have large portions that can't be parallelized, like running ./configure or tarring up the build artifacts at the end) – right now I have 280 processes running in 32 containers.

Not using ccache/distcc since I'm just running this on my own workstation. I'm not sure ccache would help here because each build runs in an isolated container environment, to prevent cross-contamination with other builds. I'm also instrumenting each build using bear to generate a compilation database, and I think distcc would mess with that? (I can't imagine distcc knows how to transfer over the bear wrapper binaries / shared libs?)

But yeah, Mathematica is terrible for numerical work, and doesn't play well with other external libraries or tools.

Yeah barbed wire is tricky. I grew up on a farm and built a lot of barbed-wire fence. With the right PPE (mostly boots and good gloves) and tools (fence pliers [0], comealongs [1], etc.) it gets easier. Plus when you're building fence the wire comes on a roll which is much easier to manage than random barbed wire lying on the ground in a pile.

If you EVER feel that you aren't able to put your best foot forward in an interview, just STOP, politely tell the interviewers what's going on, and inform the interviewers that you're going to stop then interview, and will reschedule at another time. Apologize for starting any inconvenience this causes them. The interviewers will be thrown off by this, because likely nobody has done this to them before, so you may have to overcome their objections, but stick to your plan.

Then re-evaluate the interview. What made you nervous? Were you just having a bad day? Not enough sleep? Low blood sugar? Dehydrated? Did something about the interviewer(s) put you on the defensive? Try to come up with a plan to avoid this situation in the future. Reschedule the interview if you feel like it.
