Oh ya, drones, awacs, satellites. Every step by every russian solider is recorded.

Whereas Russia has to track literally everyone? General mobilization means everyone is your enemy.

Then you have the simple reality that there is no doubt a very significant proxy war going on. Russia can't even admit to this or tell the troops because it would destroy their morale. Behind every bush is a navy seal... id shit my pants as well.

The latest figure reported by Ukraine was they have killed 3500 Russians already.

My understanding was that this number was their claim for total casualties (meaning mostly WIA). And that this got lazily cut-and-pasted all over the place to mean KIA.
Yep so it’s not really a choice, is it?

People shouldn’t have to choose between “good schools” and “bad schools.” The idea of trying to find a home “with good schools” should be a thing of the past. All schools should good schools. I think that is the goal to work towards, not having parents fight for the too few remaining life-rafts.

Not sure what in GP you think is negative towards teachers. Sounds like you probably don’t have kids of your own.

As a parent and tax payer I’d like to have my child taught in a school by competent people. Not via Zoom by someone who can’t understand that the risks are unbelievably low and kids are being damaged by missing out on school.

> More than 270,000 public school teachers are projected to leave the profession from 2016 to 2026, according to government data, and recent polling by a prominent national teachers union showed that nearly 1 in 3 teachers said Covid-19 had made them more likely to resign or retire early

Distance is quite hard to judge but then your audience is people whose job/life generally depends on quantities. Technicians, Engineers and scientists are your general target and these are people who are more in tune with quantities than the general population as a whole. That said, there are three popular classes of units in use just in the "west": Metric, Imperial/American and rule of thumb. Then there are the other ones and the really odd other ones. For example a German pfund is not the same as a pound (lb) and looks plain weird in grammes. It is however, a small cauliflower with the stalk cut off (rule of thumb). A cm is roughly 2.54 times too small for normal use and a metre is too big to fit in your tool box. I'm a Brit BTW so I actually love metric unless I'm drinking, in which case I'll have a pint unless its wine (125 or 250ml).

I seem to recall that Henry VIII (the one with six wives) ordered a standard King's English to be developed which is why we have the word church and not kirk or kerke or whatever etc. That was in C16th.

So, your job has a long and illustrious history. It also has the same challenges. I can imagine that it would be tempting to try and end up with something like an Anglicised Esperanto but I think you should accept that your goal will never be perfect, nor ever finally achieved. It will save lives though and you must concentrate on that and not perfection.

Good luck!
Linux will not agree on anything.

Steam (or whoever at this point) could bring together the efforts put in static linking of Linux apps and combine it with some sort of app isolation (freebsd like "jailing"... maybe doable with lxc?) so that a game binary once linked doesn't need anything other than the kernel and the isolation keeps it from affecting other apps in case it is exploited because of vulnerabilities in statically linked parts of the binary.

This way, we could have forever running apps if that is what we want.

They are following advice from another company (ISS). I would assume that ISS on the other hand have some policies on how to evaluate these things and what to recommend (random results from Google [1]). While this does not make difference in case of Mr Cook, it might be relevant for less wealthy managers and they likely want to apply similar policies for everybody.

Teachers have been given the choice if they want to work for their paychecks, or not work and still get the paychecks.

Like anyone else, they've mostly chosen the latter.

The point is that teacher unions have too much power, not that teachers are worse or better than other groups - they're not.
And people might see that as that you are working from home, but not willing or able to allocate a dedicated space for it so you can actually be as effective as possible. Nor are you willing to purchase or make a simple backdrop.

Which seems to be accurate, and in my opinion rightfully creates a negative impression in their minds.
[edit: I was incorrect on the fee matters, so have removed that]

Charter schools are absolutely for-profit businesses, they scam it by having the "non-profit" running the charter school employ a management company that obviously is a for-profit entity. See https://networkforpubliceducation.org/wp-content/uploads/202...

All the evidence also shows that charter schools do not produce better outcomes than regular public schools.

The real reason certain groups want charter schools (aside from grift) is a desire to indoctrinate and teach nonsense as fact.
Independent countries joining defensive pacts is their internal business. Putin wants what he thinks is Russia's god ordained sphere of influence(imperialism), and what's more considers Ukraine as Russia's to rule(imperialism). Everything that was said, and different things were said to different audiences, were just distractions/post-decision excuses. It has nothing to do with defense, and everything to do with imperialism, and generations of indoctrination in it. Baltic states(already in NATO) are as close to Moscow as Harkiv. And defense wise Russia will be much weaker in the decades to come with an isolated economy. Putin wants a poor desperate and isolated North Korea like country, he doesn't want a prosperous Russia -- prosperity is not too compatible with authoritarianism.

GP is a fairly standard anti union stance against teachers.

And, honestly, your post seems further in that direction. That is, you are furthering the narrative that many teachers are not competent, since they "can't understand the risks.". If they are that incompetent, why are they still teaching?

MIT Terminates Russian Skoltech Program
Any ideas why the strengths of erlang and elixir haven’t made their way into the mainstream?
I've noticed something similar the past few years. For context, through highschool I interned as a software developer and was hired full-time during my gap year. Now, I'm studying a bachelor's in Computer Science in a foreign country and my visa only allows part-time work. I've been offered full-time positions and I have to decline because I don't feel like getting deported. I hardly see part-time positions. I constantly apply to new positions, mention my work limits, and contact recruiters but no luck yet.

It's disheartening to work retail when I could be working in software development improving my skills and with less financial stress.
> But people from those places still perform really poorly in interviews at about the same rate as everyone else

This doesn’t match my experience at all at least wrt to coding sessions. I don’t think I ever had someone from goog/fb bomb a coding part but I regularly had tenured engs from other well known shops not being able to code 2 nested for-loops // I did 200+ of interviews not counting when I worked for goog myself
> I think it's impossible to nail these interviews without minimal prep. It's very specific, and every candidates are well-prepared, many of them have done 500+ leetcode questions before interviewing.

It’s definitely possible. Mostly you’d want to learn your algorithms well in college and continue to exercise them in your work. The rest of the interview is a lot about how you present yourself, which is mostly along the lines of “work out the problems out loud and ask questions”.

Also, FWIW, I’ve had a decent amount of opportunities for creativity on Leetcode-style questions. When permitted I often pick the language that I feel would make the solution simpler or easier to understand. When doing things like linked list or graph traversal you’re often asked to define the datastructure you’ll be using, which is a good chance to use different types of polymorphism or algebraic datatypes that can make your task easier. Even if you’re just churning out for loops, a lot of them can be replaced with functional methods or selective application of interesting utilities such as array rotation.
This isn't about working or not working; it's about remote vs in-person.

No, it's not Eastern European == evil. The most common connotation is creepy and socially awkward. Evil comes up too, but it's a runner-up. It's never /normal/, though. When was the last time you saw a normal person on TV, who just happened to be Eastern European?

The SNL episode this weekend, talking about Ukraine, went with the Eastern European prostitute stereotype.

It's worth thinking about what Yakov Smirnoff was loved for. The black actors in minstrel show were often beloved too. So was Aunt Jemima.

CBS just called us "relatively civilized" and "relatively European." Everyone picked up on the anti-Muslim racism, but few noticed that Eastern Europeans took a middle rung. More human than the Middle East, but less human than Europe.

Personally, I would take that part time job at 80/90K a year, simply because that's all I need and I value my free time for other projects, cycling, whatever.

However, I'm not "there" yet as a developer. Maybe in a few years after I've proven myself.
I think the idea is that you replace a team of 7 full-time engineers with 7 half-time engineers, and get 80% of the benefits at 50% of the cost.
Organic electrochemical neurons and synapses with ion mediated spiking
Future brain-machine interfaces, prosthetics, and intelligent soft robotics will require integrating artificial neuromorphic devices with biological systems. Due to their poor biocompatibility, circuit complexity, low energy efficiency, and operating principles fundamentally different from the ion signal modulation of biology, traditional Silicon-based neuromorphic implementations have limited bio-integration potential. Here, we report the first organic electrochemical neurons (OECNs) with ion-modulated spiking, based on all-printed complementary organic electrochemical transistors. We demonstrate facile bio-integration of OECNs with Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) to induce lobe closure upon input stimuli. The OECNs can also be integrated with all-printed organic electrochemical synapses (OECSs), exhibiting short-term plasticity with paired-pulse facilitation and long-term plasticity with retention >1000 s, facilitating Hebbian learning. These soft and flexible OECNs operate below 0.6 V and respond to multiple stimuli, defining a new vista for localized artificial neuronal systems possible to integrate with bio-signaling systems of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates.
It's not ironic at all to realize that remote learning is worsening racial and economic disparities in education.

> Walk in with a set budget you are happy to lose

I prefer to think of it as a budget I am happy to spend. That way I can place it in the same mental bucket as going out to a gig, or a nice restaurant, or some other form of entertainment. I find I'm also less tempted by the notion to "win it back" if I don't consider it as a loss to begin with. I spent my money, I got my entertainment, it's a fair trade. And if I don't spend all of it (or somehow spend a negative amount) - bonus!
> But then what often happens with part time devs like this is their one foot out the door, so they will probably leave in a few months anyway.

This sentiment is what GP points out is cultural, not practical or factual. If you compensate them well for the hours they work, many part time devs will have superior per-hour output to FTEs and also be grateful for the added flexibility you afford them.

We hired a stellar part time dev recently (contract hire to start, we just increased his rate and verbally stated we are interested in continuing the relationship long-term if he is, and offered written agreement if he is interested), and he has been working out great. The option is open to him to work full-time whenever if/when he wants by planning it ahead of time with us, but our default expectation will remain being part-time so he can pursue his game development on the side.

Finding a great part-time team member is no different than a great FTE, once you and the employee are both free of the cultural negative baggage associated wtih part-timing.
We've arrived in a weird situation where we pay so little to teachers and yet require a high level of education, that we aren't attracting our best & brightest to the profession. I've still met some great teachers, but I've met a lot of glorified babysitters. It's infuriating.

> Every “charter” school that actually makes a profit is simply passing on the subsidies to their owners: they get to charge both the government and parents to provide the same service.

No, they don't. Charter schools operate as non-default schools within the public school system, they don't get to charge parents at all.

> Here’s an idea: let charter schools make a profit by “being efficient”: they get exactly the same amount of money as a public school

That would be an increase, charter schools typically only get a reduced amount of the per-pupil funding that the default public school would get, with the remainder retained by the host district even though the charter school itself provides for itself the services the district would provide for public schools.
