Stop holding 95% of students hostage to a tiny minority. They deserve better education. They deserve their teachers' focus instead of them having to devote inordinate amount of time to the mainstreamed special needs students.
Glad I found your comment. I was going to say Atlas Shrugged as well because I stopped reading it half-way through when I finally realized that the author was full of shit.

It's a great realization for a young person to have, that something can be published and also be total garbage and a complete waste of time.

This is great, I have been learning "bird" and finding information on the web about using bird is very challenging since adding bird to any search doesn't necessary make the results better.

I think there is are different kinds of stability.

The problem in America is the rat race never ends and that it is FAR TOO EASY to lose your hard earned wealth. Lawsuits, divorce, healthcare costs, daycare, tutoring all suck money away very quickly.

Furthermore, laws are set up in a way that can take away your earning potential. A small criminal records from 20 years ago can affect your career at a private business. A loss of drivers license will impede you from getting to work. A health issue will get you disability and FMLA but set you behind in the corporate rat race so fast that you will regret it.

In America, the fall is precipitous. You could have been a model citizen for 40 years of your life. But only one slip up (say a critical health diagnosis) and you are on the slippery slope down.

This, as opposed to Asian countries which have a free market and yet, the fall is not precipitous. In most other countries, if you have been a model citizen for 40 years, it's very hard for your life to fall apart.
I'm not a buddhist so in no position to refute but there is a temple near me that I have been to several times for non-religious reasons. There is a water basin by the entrance that people use to wash their hands and faces as they enter.

I understand theologically this must not be a "ritual purification" but as an outsider I definitely can't tell the difference.
I'm from a family that has been in real estate since the 80s. Lead remediation was a mandatory requirement in the late 70s. There is almost no lead anywhere in the country except for cities where there were old industrial manufacturing plants or places where there was illegal dumping of materials.

You literally can't sell a home or purchase a home with lead issues because no one will purchase the property. There are exceptions where people are gaming the system by controlling the property and town inspection departments but largely lead paint poisoning is an old problem that was solved a long time ago.

The only reason children would have a drastic decreae in IQ is going to be a combination of Television and internet usage at extremely young ages which has deleterious affects on will-power, attentional focus, judgement, memory and visuo-spatial analysis. The lead argument really needs to go away it keeps popping up
and it is literally impossible in most of the country.
You are high on twitter propaganda. Loses are meaningless to Putin as long as objectives are completed. Mariupol is done, surrounded and in ruins. Messages showed up suggesting Russians started sending people to gulags/concentration camps https://twitter.com/timesobs1/status/1505258913398235145

My country is next on the list together with other Baltic nations. This current inaction is identical to start of WW2 with everyone paranoid about their own nose and "unnecessary escalation". We have maybe 2-3 weeks to sent troops into UKR before its too late. If we dont help Ukraine its a sign NATO wont intervene beyond sending arms and "stay strong" prayers when our time comes. Another Yalta is on the table, after all why should we risk Nuclear war if Putin gives us a word he will stop at German border, right? :(
Also really, just look up strategies. In all of these games nearly every boss can be cheesed in some way. Really, there's no shame in looking it up.
This is most likely for someone at UCLA on sabbatical to have an affiliation. Some evidence it might be someone fleeing Ukraine and is being externally funded by a foundation directly as a fellowship. UC policy requires even direct onboarding like this to be posted as a 'job'. Bureaucracy..

~30 year bash/sh user here (glossing over the regrettable, mercifully brief dalliances with csh and ksh). I can’t claim to be long suffering, because I (still) enjoy using bash.

In December just gone I gave up on macOS after 17 years and switched to Linux. Thought I’d take the opportunity to try a new shell and went for fish (though I still use bash on certain remote hosts for a variety of reasons).

autocomplete and colours/highlighting are more than enough to keep me using it. I really enjoy them. But…

I don’t yet love how history works. Four months in, I still can’t get used to not having ctrl-r.

I miss the symmetry of `do … done` in loop syntax, finding `for … end` jarring.

The lack of !! really grates sometimes. I was going to say I miss `^x^y` last command modification, but actually I can’t recall trying it since switching.

`VAR=x cmd …` doesn’t seem to work quite how I expect. I have an alias/function to perform SSO login to AWS, which expands to `BROWSER=otherfunc aws sso login` - otherfunc itself expanding to `firefox -P workprofile`. This stubbornly opens a Firefox tab in some random window, regardless of profile - despite otherfunc on its own always working. I did not, IIRC, have this trouble with bash.

I'm working full-time as a sysadmin on a first-gen Ergodox. It's nice; I can put writing implements between the keyboard halves. Or food. :)

Apart from that, it's just… different. I'm still using normal keyboards on trips to the data center or when doing customer support, but the general day-to-day is done on the Ergodox. When I use normal keyboards/layouts, I have to look at the keys to type, but then I'm almost as fast as on the Ergodox. (Not that I was that fast to begin with, maybe 50–60wpm?)

I'm also using a Majestouch Minila Air at home, which is a regular (i.e. non-split) 65% BT keyboard with Cherry Browns. It also uses the same 'base layout' as the Ergodox (NEO2), but the modifiers are in different positions. From time to time, I also use a laptop keyboard (Thinkpad X1 Carbon), which is close enough to the Minila that it hardly matters.

You get used to it after a while. For what it's worth, I'm 37.
OK I'm done with fighting fires for now and can answer that last question. Cloudflare offer "functions" and "workers", they're like functions that run on the edge CDN nodes.

These functions receive geolocation information via a function argument. So I've a function that intercepts requests to the app, grabs the geolocation information, and rewrites the URL (inserting the coordinates e.g. /lat,lng).

I go into more detail about this in the blog post but originally it just opened in Cork for everyone. I disliked the idea of having an annoying browser prompt for location permissions. I made it for my dad so having no geolocation was fine to begin with and I eventually added the geolocation I described above. Less friction, no extra client-side requests.

the thing is, making backups on a blog is actually non-trivial.

if i host my own then it's easy to just have an automated backup of the database or the static files. but on any online tool it depends on the APIs that are available. if there is RSS i could find an RSS download tool, but if not then it would most likely have to be manual copy-paste which you have to remember to do and is quite inconvenient if you are on the road.
> A country is more than an economic zone.

This would probably come as a surprise to the likes of Mitt Romney and Donald Trump (different though they may be, there's a reason they share a political party). I've often heard the slogan, "run the government like a business" which should tell you something. And though Trump may use nativist rhetoric he never had any qualms about hiring guest workers for his own businesses.

All that is to say, while there is a constituency for such feelings, there are no real representatives for it in government.
Negative externalities between neighbors is a thing. See noise pollution.
There is certainly a point past which the Earth cannot support the same order of magnitude of humans, at similar technology levels.

It's hard to argue that there are no bad feedback loops once temperature gets higher. We know of several huge methane stores that are temperature dependent, we know how ice and clouds work as temperature rises, etc. We're gambling 90-100% of humanity on the critical points not being reachable.

I don’t buy your good intentions. Have a lovely day!
Thanks! Yes! We realized that early teams don't even have a data stack — they just rely on dashboards built into the tools they already use. The problem is, there's a dashboard on every tool, which means these teams have to hop between multiple tabs/dashboards to get a complete picture. We've built a way to view these metrics in a single place.

Segment doesn't have a built in visualizing layer, and relies on destinations to handle that (like Mixpanel, etc)— but even there, non-technical operators are lost because they have no mental model of how to transform a stream of events into something like, say, "Activation rate" or "Retention curve". We connect to Segment and have pre-written the SQL required to generate these commonly used metrics.
I'd be interested in hearing if you have more info on this.
There is another point by people like me - I really would love to experience this game, but I don't have life to waste in yet another largely meaningless grinding. I have 2 kids to raise, wife to attend, work to work, real hobbies like sports to do. I've definitely grown out of putting insane hours of my life into gaming, and not going back, ever.

This one-fits-all-or-goodbye approach means I'll miss this game, forever. And just as you say - only damage/defense stats would need to be tuned a bit and I could approach it. Why would that hurt anybody wanting to play it on harder level is beyond me...
Windows was not one of the first operating systems, nor Android for mobile OS. Doesn't seem like great comparisons to make to be honest.

The first operating system for real work is arguably in 1956 [1]. 13 years later we still didn't have the personal computer.

The internet was born in 1983. 13 years later it was around 36M users (1% global population) [2]

With "general purpose" crypto/decentralized apps really only getting going in 2015 w/ ethereum, it does seem like early days. The UX and infrastructure/tooling are still a ways away from being consumer ready.

In my case, my always-on workstation is a windows machine, and I also need a 3-button mouse for a decent CAD experience. So, I just give up on gestures and multitouch anyway (I prefer this consistency over having slightly different behavior across machines). Probably for similar reasons, it would be difficult to make barrier work as we wished on MacOS and still be multi-platform.
My Dad was born in 1934 and growing up he had toy kits that consisted of lead, a smelter and casts of the toys/figures.

I can find these kinds of kits online from the 60’s but they all claim to be lead free. I wish I could find one of the original kits he had growing up.
I believe most of the diffraction is due to the edges of the hexagonal mirrors, not the spider holding the mirror. The lens flare though I think is due to the spider.
I don't really get why you are making a distinction between internet scale companies and working for another research lab. There are people in the ACM who work for Oracle Labs, IBM Research, etc, but 2 of 3 of these issues would also be solved by any new employer.

Certainly there is a risk in a new lab that your projects go nowhere, but you can research their success before joining one and choose one that is better connected to production you consider successful at using it's in house innovation if that is what you want to prioratize.
Mostly correct, but many republican counties are far more reasonable.

Meanwhile, in the bay area a building permit is required to replace a water heater, toilet, or dishwasher.

moreover, When you do a renovation yourself, the fees are based on the typical cost materials and labor, even if you do the work yourself.
I certainly wasn't intending to bully anyone, yeah. I understand why they're doing it that way, it's just unexpected.
I guess it depends how you define resources.

The severe droughts in that area mean limited water and grassland for grazing.

I can’t see any major development beyond what’s there already with limited water.

Whether it's increased crime or lowered IQ, lead is likely not as potent as the media hype would suggest.

According to a meta study of lead vs. crime the results are inconclusive. Very high exposure to lead my cause a couple point reduction of childhood IQ, which may be temporary and not everyone exposed to lead has a reduced IQ.

Regarding lead & IQ and lead & crime ,some links to studies (and the meta study):

https://greyenlightenment.com/2021/08/02/the-effects-of-lead...

Also, the median childhood exposure to lead in the US for far back as the 1970s was around 15 ug/dl, which was the peak, which may have only conferred .5-2 pt decline in IQ

https://ourworldindata.org/exports/lead-blood-usa-children_v...

Also, this contradicted by Flynn effect, which shows IQs to be rising.
This looks awesome, but not packaged yet?

For a decade or two I waited for a good CUA editor on Unix. One that took advantage of 1990s PC hardware. Like DOS Edit, but better. Built my own striped-down SET/RHIDE editor in the early 2000s, then hobbled along with "ne" from ~2010, but that niche was fully taken by micro a few years ago. Would love a friendly tvision-like competitor with real menus and dialogs.

But what about the color palette? I see one screenshot with an extended palette, but the main shots that are using the original eight-color palette. Maybe nostalgia shots, ok. Was acceptable to have saturated dark blue and dark green backgrounds in ~1990 I suppose, that's all there was. But no longer. A micro/sublime-like dark grey color theme of at least 256 colors would attract new folks more effectively. Backgrounds should have a low-saturation imho.
Most of these that I've come across are fairly intuitive. For example stone enemies being resistant to slashing damage, or dark ghosts being weak to holy damage. There's also typically a workaround, for example a jumping attack with a small slashing weapon does more physical damage.

Just keep both network interfaces fired up, and sort them by priority in Network preferences panel (I assume ethernet, then wifi for you use case). Then you can forget about everything and do work, tethered or not.

Turn the bluetooth on as well while you're at it.

This is the way.
It was a bicycle, not a motorbike.

The reason for the accident was it was a European spec bike so the brake levers were reversed. It was new and I just hadn't internalised that switch by the time of the accident. If I had hit the back brake I would have been fine.
Acknowledgment Should Be Made
Hi HN! I have questions about university academic conduct polices in general, with specifics relating to the Universities of Wisconsin (UW) and Iowa (UI). The policies at UW and UI are just incidental examples here -- this is a broad question that is based upon these examples.

The UI policy [1] on faculty conduct has surprisingly weak language on an issue that I believed to be sacred in academia: credit. It states, "The faculty member must avoid exploitation of students for personal advantage. For example, in writings and oral presentations, due acknowledgment of their contributions to the work should be made." The problem with the first sentence is that the word "avoid" does not imply a prohibition -- it leaves open occasional instances of exploitation (consider: "avoid consuming sugar" versus "shall not consume sugar"). In the second sentence, the phrase, "acknowledgement...should be made" provides faculty the clear option of not sharing credit (consider: "I should exercise" versus "I shall exercise"). I expected a stronger statement: "The faculty member shall not exploit students for personal advantage. For example, in writings and oral presentations, due acknowledgment of their contributions to the work shall be made."

I don't mean to unfairly pick on UI: I was unable to find a similar kind of directive that applied to the UW system (see [2], [3]), and would welcome a link to a similar policy that applies to UW faculty.

My questions: Is there an obvious problem with the stronger language in the UI policy? Do any academic institutions have well-crafted policies on this? Is some level of student exploitation (i.e., unfair demands for personal gain), especially in research domains, unavoidable?

Meta: UW is my alma mater, I have no current affiliation (or gripes) with UW, UI or any other university. I do have friends and colleagues who work in academia, so this is a throwaway account. The catalyst for this question is the article in [4], which discusses recent problems at UW, and also links to [1], which is how I started down this rabbit hole.

I'm glad that there's a tool to automatically do this. When I was in university, this was something that was on tests/assignments.
I'm not smart enough to be able to parse what's exactly being said in that thread.

But -- I make a point of only turning on my GPS when I'm actually lost and being lost is actually a problem. Sometimes this tries the wife's patience, but I like finding my way around new places. More importantly, I like knowing that if GPS gets scrambled that we'll be just fine.

Ukraine: How crowdsourcing is rescuing people from the war zone
>flicking rapidly between virtual desktops

Honestly, that's a terrible workflow for me. Due to the nature of my work, many times I need to tile 2, 3 or 4 windows on the same screen so I can view them all at once. Flicking quickly between them instead of having them all static in front of me is a UX nightmare that gives me eye strain just thinking about it.

I have no idea how people mange to multi task efficiently by flicking and not get headaches, or on desktop with a mouse and keyboard, but maybe Apple thinks most of its customers are content creators who should just be focusing on one app at a time and never need to tile several. I guess I just wasn't meant to be an Apple customer.

For my type of work, I much prefer the Windows/Linux way of having the flicking option for laptops but also great out of the box tiling built in.
The fumes from non-leaded solder are worse for you (make sure to have good ventilation). The lead doesn’t go into the air; the fumes are from flux. As long as you don’t eat the solder, and wash your hands after soldering, there’s no problem with hobby soldering using lead solder.

The reason to prefer lead-free solder is primarily because at industrial scale with tons of trashed electronics the lead becomes an environmental pollutant. For hobbyists, lead solder is easier to work with, and not a serious risk.

maybe too many prompts, but yes, what happens during a first interview is generally these sorts of discussions followed by the interviewer jotting down notes.

asking candidates to submit short essays where they can choose what to highlight and how seems like a fine idea.

just needs a "pick a few from each category" and "400-600 words please" designation.

probably also more suitable for people who work in product design / management or data science / business analyst / staff swe hybrid roles (roles where defining the work is part of the work) than people who are looking to complete predefined task assignments or solve issues with high velocity.
