Contrarian opinion: the class system in Britain is the legacy of an ethnic hierarchy which has (1) matured and become a little fuzzy over the course of a thousand years, and (2) is obscured by the fact all ethnic groups are white. Normans at the top of the hierarchy (Queenie is a descendant of William the Bastard), Angles, Saxons, Vikings in the middle, Celts at the bottom. This ethnic difference contributes to quite different class cultures.

I read this is relevant to the US, as Celts by and large settled the Appalachian uplands where soils were poor, and the population of the mountains has maintained a distinct Celtic culture and position in the US class hierarchy.

Additional aside, UK weird hostility to red heads (often remarked upon by visitors) is in fact legacy hostility to Celts.
>In practice I don't think it makes much difference if a system is accidentally having a particular effect or having the same effect with some particular group of people's intent.

Of course intent matters which is why we make distinctions between things like Manslaughter and Murder, and OP was explicitly stating that this system was very much intentionally built to have the outcomes they described.

Wait, what?! The Czech Republic is at war with Russia?

Productized consulting works when you can turn your offering into something that is standardized and hence repeatable. This works for some consulting markets, but not all. If you're going to make websites for restaurants, you can do this. If you're going to make high performance back ends, probably not.
That’s a good point.

It seems awful transparent, when they do this “false flag” stuff, but I think they are playing to a domestic audience.

Good luck getting paid. The banks are pretty much all under sanctions. There's no SWIFT transfers, so no deposits from abroad.
> I have a 2018 long-range. It got a total of 307 miles new, now that it's 3 years old it's total range is ~280.

I feel like the range estimate is as much about individual driving habits as it is battery condition. I noticed the max range was reporting in the low 280s up until December when I had to make eight ~100 mile trips on the highway and suddenly my range is reporting in the high 290s.

Mine was built in fall of 2018 and at delivery it got around 300+ miles, a year or so later Tesla released an OTA update that boosted range to 315+. We only charge to 80% and the reported range at that charge as slid from 275 down to 235 miles over time. Today it reports a max charge of 294 miles.

I drive on the less efficient side. Our driving habits since the pandemic have been almost exclusively short 10 mile trips under 50mph on very hilly terrain. We charge about once or twice a week up to 80%, usually only putting 50-100 miles back on with each charge.

I've noticed the same thing with our Nissan Leaf. When it was my 50+ miles a day commuter it reported 80-100 miles range but now it's only driven short trips a couple times a month it reports 75 miles range. That being said, the reported range on that car fluctuates with your farts so idk...

I realize that. My financial livelihood is not dependent on my current job. It’s dependent on my ability to get another job.

It is purely about you taking control of your own career and not wait for the union or government to protect you.

The demand for software developers is not new. It’s been there since I started working in 1996.
Thanks - I'd be interested in your alternative explanations if you're willing to comment here? I know it's never simple, and often even just timing is a factor in markets. Sounds like you've given it a lot of thought though.

There will never be fewer electric cars either. I think this is a significant concern as whether demand will outstrip suply.

Hopefully charging stations will be lucrative enough, or hopefully good supply/demand competition kicks in -- few charging stations and high demand --> high prices to recharge --> more charging stations.
SO much of it is luck.

I'm from a complicated class background myself, but my dad's family were tinkerers. My grandfather was a factory worker who was obsessed with televisions, so when my dad got into microcomputers, the tools were around for him to start cheaply because he could use/repair broken ones. And then when I was born, my father's experience meant he could help me with coding. (Because in his generation, you had to learn BASIC etc. to do anything).

I'm not any better than say, the kids of my dad's classmates. We were just the family who did the grunt work in an area that really took off. Their grandfathers might have liked sports instead of tearing open tvs.
Sounds like Apple too. Steve Jobs was a master at copying technologies but evolving them into arguably better mousetraps. Electric cars have been around for over 100 years But Elon musk evolved them and brought them to the masses. These examples abound.
Agencies (even of one) also get economies of scale that gyms don't. You have templates, pre-built components, domain specific knowledge of how to handle common problems, etc.
"The execution of a program contains a data race if it contains two conflicting actions in different threads, at least one of which is not atomic, and neither happens before the other. Any such data

That's a good point. I personally like having one horizontal and one vertical setup.
Definitely an easily condemnable criminal act - but I completely see where they're coming from.

That said, given they have all the code themselves, they can just release everything and we'll remove LHR by ourselves and finally build OSS drivers.
But if your license is stupid, then other programmers can not use it. Congratulations.

There is really no excuse for not at some point in your entire programming life, taking the time to go over these things, figure out what they end up meaning in real life, and thereafter knowing which ones actually do represent your wishes and intents. Picking one whos only property is it's so short it doesn't actually do anything hardly counts.

It doesn't really matter how big and complicated a license is any more than how big and complicated a compiled executable is or all the parts in a car. What matters is does it do the job that needs doing. All else being equal, smaller and more elegant is better as a direction or principle of course, but the reason we even have writing is to assemble work into a reusable package, so that time-consuming work like writing a book only has to be done once, and then everyone else gets to use the big complicated work many times over without having to re-create it each time.

It's an efficiency and a power amplifier to be able to pack up a bunch of complicated things into a writing and then treat the writing as a single simple thing.

You happly use gcc (or your car, or whatever) many times every day. You did the work one time to figure out that the tool you need is gcc, and after that, all you mentally think about is just "gcc" not the thousands of lines of code or the millions of machine instructions that make it up every time you use it. If I write a new "The Un-cc" that only has about 8 lines of code and is oh so refreshingly simple to understand, one would hope that you would not use it.

The point of the established and thorough licenses is exactly to do a whole lot of hard work once and let everyone else reuse it countless times.

The point of a stupid new license that pointedly and intentionally does not do any of that hard work is there is no point at all to it. It's just a stupid idea, and as such, it's probably no great loss that other people can not use code from an author who chose such a stupid license.
That is not actually the case, a great many languages define the order of operations in a deterministic manner.

There is no intrinsic reason why a[i] = i++ has to result in undefined behavior.
>Crypto is fairly easy to avoid as an individual

It's probably contributing more to inflation than people believe. Both in the demand for resources and in terms of redistribution of wealth. Although probably not as much as the new work-from-home paradigm.
> Literally no one is doing this, unless you have a diesel engine, you're parked outside, the temperatures are exceptionally cold (<= -10F?), and you weren't planning on driving for more than a day. It's something you'd see on, like, farms or semi truck lots; not houses.

Living in a cold-weather climate, it is the local norm to plug a car (gas or diesel) during winter even if you're only parked for a couple hours. Most cars purchased locally come with engine block heaters installed and most private parking spaces (houses, apartments, office buildings, surface lots, parking garages, etc.) provide an outlet.
CVE-2021-4128: PfSense 2.5.2 Shell Upload
I used to live in Kaneohe, Hawaii.

What you're describing matches my experience watching C-5M for the first time, heading in to land at what was Marine Corps Base Hawaii. I was out walking and watched one flying around the bay, turning in to land. Thought it was low and slow. I remember quite a feeling of cognitive dissonance, as subconscious parts of my brain were refusing to accept what my senses were really saying. Then this slowly dawning realisation no, it's bloody huge! I stopped in my tracks with my jaw dropping.

To some degree I still didn't believe it, until it had actually touched down at the strip in the distance, and I could see how it was in scale next to other planes and buildings.

I haven't seen the AN-225, guess I never will. Comparing specs I'm staggered.. I can't fathom what it would be like to see that one. C5 on left, AN-225 right:

when the teacher says 6 pages double spaced
Yeah, exactly, that’s what I’m curious about - if the browser’s renderer is adding significant amounts of delay due to additional synchronization, or if the problem with canvas.getImageData() is the same problem we’ve always had and if the delays are similar. This does make it seem like a callback to receive last frame’s image could be much faster than a synchronous read call, and I’d certainly use that if it existed…
I hear this a lot, but what jurisdictions and why? On the face of it, it seems batshit insane to me that there would be a place where I can’t waive my property rights on something.
> I also just don’t like micromanaging my window arrangement or having the WM try to do it automatically (and usually get it wrong).

How is that solved by adding a monitor? If I used two (I don't any more) I would still use a (better than macOS default) window manager.
now that is seriously amazing gameplay mechanics
>Thinking back, I'm also a little disappointed that after the death of Flash, it felt like Canvas never really took its place. The playful web that came before it in some ways simply closed up.

I've been wondering if this is cultural or technical. The things that are easy to do get done more, and thus the tech (and how well it's designed) shapes mass behavior and culture. On the other hand, where there's a will to do something, a way will be found, or created...

A great example is sending Flash holiday greeting cards in the email. Watching them with my mom is one of my favorite computer-related childhood memories. Yet they seemed to go out of style long before Flash did.
What ? This is not a web page, this is a text editor with no page layout. It has nothing to do with a webpage. You have the implication backward (all web documents are pageless but not all pageless documents are web pages..)

Edit: I also thought your comment was sarcastic, my bad
I agree of course that its kid dependent.

I did not have this experience; a commenter upthread did. I was very lucky and had the opportunity to go to a good middle school and highly accelerated high school (Thomas Jefferson HSST in Virginia). But, knowing what I know about normal middle/high schools and MIT dorms, I would have rather gone to the latter than the former if those were my options.
Yeah - I agree. Large centralized institutions do tend to work this way, but it's not a requirement, although it's always a struggle to keep the administration from pushing this route because it's easier even though it gives poorer outcomes.
Because you can easily lie about your class background, especially to yourself.

How are they going to “negotiate”? If they say “no” what are the union members going to do strike? The company is trying to get rid of them anyway.

Gandi is my registrar! Yes, I'm a fan. I may be mistaken, but something I worry about after trying Gandi's API for Let's Encrypt is the API keys provide permission for everything. I would love it if the permissions could be narrowed down to specific domains, records, and operations on them... AWS Route53 comes to mind, but my router (OPNsense) didn't have it available as an option. :(
OP Should have said "most don't need to do it." I live in Minnesota and its rare to see people use block heaters now days, folks that do are most likely doing it because their parents did. I know from first hand experience that modern ICE cars with proper maintenance will perform just fine in the extremest of Minnesotan winters.
$1230 for an RTX 3060 is absolutely insane, and is in no way a fair or reasonable price for that graphics card. The 3060 is supposedly a lower-mid range card, which have traditionally sold for closer to $300-400 (which is what the MSRP of that card is supposed to be).

By comparison, $1230 is over twice the MSRP of 2016's GTX 1080, which was a high end card at the time (and is roughly comparable spec-wise). It used to be that paying over $1000 for a graphics card got you the highest of the high end cards, not mid range stuff.

Obviously it's not just crypto miners raising this price. The chip shortage is real, there's been quite a bit of inflation since 2016, and PC gaming is more popular as it's ever been. But crypto miners are absolutely having an effect, and there's no real way to frame it as benefiting the average graphics card consumer.
That was the first Mac I really, really wanted. Beefy (for the era) processor, still the great form factor.

Sadly, I didn't actually get a Mac for another 10 years, but the SE/30 lives on in my head. Had I extravagant amounts of free space in my office, I'd track one down to run as a hobby.

You seem to be suggesting that instead of elections, people can decide who their leader is by having a civil war instead.

I don't think it is chauvinism to prefer a system where fewer people have to die to effect political change over one where inevitably many more people die.
that's a good argument. part of the fun is learning the AI behaviors. and in modern games it honestly would take a while for that to get boring, the AIs certainly are getting more complex
When I was seven I went to a public school (which in the UK is sort of like a posh private school, from a US perspective). To get in, at seven, we had to take an entrance exam on maths, science, and English. So to pass this I went to a feeder school from literally the age of two and a half to prepare for the exam. My entire class came from others who went to feeder schools. This in turn prepped us for the public school exam to get into senior school (which had a 100% success rate). And that in turn prepped a lot of people for the Oxbridge exams and so on.

So yes, money is the trick, but it’s not worth it. I burned out at school hard because I’d been going at it for so long.
What’s “reasonable” is the same as the market demands for their skillset. If the companies could pick up and move to another state or a cheaper country, what does that tell you?

Being willing to take advantage of the luck by working hard, taking risks, having a vision as to how to succeed and be useful. It is very much about empowering both yourself and others. The luck part is there to help prevent the "I did this, why didn't you?" crappy privileged perspective, but it needs to be balanced with the drive.

As an example, over a decade ago, I quit a job with no plans of getting another one. Someone I knew told me about an opportunity (luck / connections), and I pursued it. It was hard at first, but now it is almost a turn-key operation. Still requires work, but far less than it did at the beginning. It has netted me a good tidy sum which has been crucial for living the life I want.

Was it luck? Absolutely. Was it my own ability, hard work, and willingness to take that step? Yes. What would have happened had I said no? No idea, but probably less of a good outcome.

Ideally, one tries to frame one's life to be empowering but not arrogant, not trivializing the difficulty of other's paths. Luck is not empowering. Belief that hard work alone can get you to the height is not empowering. Some mixture of these things, that can be empowering. Understanding that the goal is to be useful to others as well as yourself, that's really empowering.
I'm from a working class family but have done okay for myself, my salary, house, and lifestyle would be considered by most people to be middle-class now, but I still consider myself working class because I don't feel you can change classes. However, if I were to have children now, they would grow up in a middle-class household and would be middle-class forever, but I am and will always still be working class.

I wish that article had been able to change my mind.

I am a big supporter of trans rights. Trans women are women. Gender is between the ears, not between the legs.

Women's athletics is about both sex and gender. It recognizes that women play sports in a somewhat different way from men. Partly because the bodies of cis women are different from those of men, and partly because of the culture that arises around that. Sometimes the whole sport is different because of it -- women's gymnastics is radically different from men's, and figure skating only a bit less so. Women's basketball and soccer are noticeably different, and interesting to watch because of the differences that go beyond strength and speed.

Defining "women" in that athletic context has thus always been tricky. We've always had intersex athletes, and outliers whose bodies were recognizably female. But they were rare enough that it didn't force itself to the front of our minds.

Trans people are more numerous, and will become even more so. I don't think anybody would consider it a good thing if all of the women's records were dominated by athletes assigned male at birth. That is not yet the situation, but it's not hard to imagine that it could be.

I wish the article had been able to make a better case that it wouldn't be a problem. I absolutely support the fact that Lia is a woman. She should be able to participate in women's sports as a woman -- because women play sports differently. It is great that she gets to be on the podium with other women.

I don't, however, know how best to handle that. A separate set of cis-women's events or cis-women's records is crude and awkward. Leaving cis women out of the record books will make nobody happy.

I also don't like borrowing this trouble. Focus on this is, I fear, more about finding ways to marginalize trans people than real concern for women. So I really wish the article had left me with a knock-down way to agree with Lia.
The Shape of Things to Come (1933)
Classism is definitely more pervasive in the UK than the US. This is one part of the story about the dominance of US in tech... during WWII, seems people in the UK were too busy waging war to bother as much with classism. War ends, and people with the "right breeding" come in and take over some of the tech projects, rather than the people with the right skills. Paradoxically, working in tech is seen as somewhat low-class.

Keep in mind that this is a simplification, it's only part of the story, and it's a story about a particular time in UK history, and I'm not trying to draw larger conclusions about meritocracy in the US and UK. (Should go without saying.)

Also note that the narrative of British technological "decline", often cited as lasting from 1870-1970, is usually quite exaggerated and distorted. Entire books have been written on the subject. Classism is a piece of the puzzle but history defies simple explanations.
who would fab their chips though? i can only imagine tsmc getting an obvious nvidia knock off and refusing to fab it for them for fear nvidia would take their cards somewhere else to fab.

Then I would not be able to use your code no matter my intentions no matter how well meaning you are.

In my country you cannot dedicate something to the public domain (it happens automatically 70 years after your death).

The Unlicense would most likely allow you or your heirs to come after me and sue me for copyright infringement for many decades.

If you (pretty much) only want US citizens (or naive people) to use your code that's fine. However given that you choose this license it seems like this wasn't your intention..
Better Dairy slices into new funding for animal-free cheeses
Discussing this is a mess for a bunch of reasons, including that no-one bothers to agree on a framework before starting to argue over it, and that there's overlapping terminology, and there are major differences between countries. So you've got "lower/middle/upper-middle/upper" (or more nuanced versions like Fussell's that add a few more), you've got "working/professional/upper", et c, and terms get recycled such that some will say "lower" in the first is the same as "working" (and distinct from "middle") and so on. Then, on top of that, it's all different in Britain.

Plus there's the distinction between income and socialized class, which are tied up together, but which aren't identical, and lots of discussions take place without anyone bothering to specify which they're talking about.

[EDIT] Oh and then of course there's Marxist analysis. Folks should lead with explaining their angle and definitions, otherwise discussion about class tends to be a bunch of people talking past one another.
