Yeah, there's a limited window over which antibody testing is useful. I hadn't heard that it was only a few months, but that wouldn't be shocking, especially if you want a low rate of false negatives. Hopefully someone reading this knows more than me about approaches to testing that might work over longer time scales and not be confused by vaccination.
You say that but having worked on a DSL for a while, you end up sprinkling this code all over the place and things which might be simple loops, or string.splits, etc become much more gnarly.
> I think 2 years of schooling and 2 years of working an becoming financially self-sufficient would better prepare people for adulthood than 4 years of schooling. Software development, electrical engineering, and plenty of other tech jobs could be taught in 2 years.

Engineering programs are widely considered to be difficult to complete in 4 years. Where do you get 2 years?

Also, after my sophomore year in college, I was not nearly well-educated enough (whatever 'enough' means); I would wildly approximate that I learned 70% in the last two years. Much of freshman year was just adjusting to college, learning how to write at a college level, etc.

But most importantly, you are still focusing on college as job training, and as I imply in the GGP, specific skill training is just a side benefit. If corporations want job training, they can provide and pay for it themselves. College for the student, not the corporation.
800 points on one section will get you into MIT, as that's a perfect score. 1000 on combined seems very unlikely to get you into SAT; the 25th percentile is 1500.

I think it's more that you just simply can get away with it: Artsy-fartsy types that care more about design care less about function and quality, so don't question and check them enough for manufacturers to have to keep high standards in those areas.

Why CVS receipts are so long – Marketing Strategies
That doesn't make any sense. Because RISC-V has kept instructions to such a bare minimum, there will be very little you will be dependent on and which new designs have to take into account. What you describe is a problem for x86 and ARM not for RISC-V. You got it all in reverse.

General-purpose CPUs for desktop computers and such will not be willy nilly adding extensions. They will standardize on something like RV64GC. However for specialized hardware which you only ever deal with through drivers, nobody will care whether extensions come and go. Are you worried that the processor in your keyboard or mouse isn't backwards compatible with the processor you used in your previous mouse or keyboard?

Anyway code today can already check what extensions you have and generate different code paths. You can ship operating systems which have fallback code for most extensions so they can be be removed in the future. You also got traps so RISC-V can jump to a software implementation of unsupported instructions.
People living paycheck-to-paycheck get larger paychecks out of an actual wage-price spiral so they're ultimately no worse off or better off. It is almost right there in the name.

What doesn't work for them is when there's massive asset bubbles like we've had for 30 years, but their wages are held flat.

This is exactly right. Here in Australia, the borders have been closed for two years, and surprise surprise, we now have some of the lowest unemployment figures in the country's history. And for the first time in a generation, wages are starting to increase.

For knowledge workers who want to work from home, the end result will be competing on a global market against workers from developing countries who can afford to do the same work for less. We already see this on various freelancing platforms where it's only a viable side gig for those in places with a low cost of living.

At the end of the day, workers need some kind of protection against these movements, by putting local workers first and managing immigration to protect the middle and working classes. The problem is that we have a political class who have gotten rich on the back of removing such protections, because they're also business owners and property investors.
All Friedman did was give Pinochet some advice on how to improve the Chilean economy, as you can see in the only evidence you've provided - the letter to Pinochet. The rest of those inferences are unfounded.
I checked your math. You're paying $5.80 per therm, so anything with a coefficient of performance over 3.65 will be chapter than natural gas.

Here are lab test results for some of the most efficient heat pumps on the market:
https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy11osti/52175.pdf

Below 25F the heat pump is more expensive. At 35F it is cheaper. (Page 10)

Natural gas would be about 2/3 cheaper at 5F.

There are "hybrid heat pumps" that might make more sense in your climate. They use resistive or natural gas below a certain temperature. I'm not sure which "side" of the compressor they heat.

Windows 11 looks great in screenshots, but when I actually try to use it, it was terrible.

I tried to move a file in Explorer using the context menu and I couldn't confidently tell Cut/Copy/Rename icons apart because they are just abstract lines that represents the file operation.

I started looking at ways to get the original Context Menu back, and then I just decided to rollback to Windows 10.
> in this case it is better to use GTK as backend instead of targeting X11 directly that may even be replaced with Wayland on major Linux distribtions;

X11 can work on Windows (many Xservers available, since forever), MacOS (used to ship with one, but now you've got to install one), and you can run an Xwayland in Wayland. So it's as cross platform as you can get. Might not look great, but then cross platform doesn't usually look great anyway.

If you're going to do X, avoid Xlib, it adds restrictive abstractions on top of X protocol and really confuses things. XCB is much closer to just reasonable interfaces to the protocol. Ultimately, X11 is a distributed systems communication protocol which happens to have graphical output as a side effect; understanding the communications part first lets you get the most out of it.

For me it has 3 advantages:

* Excellent outliner features, similar to those from OmniOutliner for example

* Great support for tables (including mini spreadsheets), links, footnotes / citations, tags / keywords and timestamps

* The ability to build interpreters that create views of one or several documents

The last feature looks weird and exotic, but it is super useful. For example a kanban is just a view that displays e.g. ongoing tasks and forthcoming deadlines harvested from your org files. Actually, Emacs already has this feature implemented as the function org-agenda. But you can build other equivalent views.
> There are loads of maintainers out there feeling burnt out, but they can't abandon their project since people are depending on the project to be maintained.

I think we need to change the expectation here. If the maintainer is doing so with their free time and is not being compensated, it's perfectly fine for them to take a break, reduce support, or stop altogether. I hope maintainers know that.

I think the piece that you are missing is automation. A large portion of non-STEM jobs (including most farm jobs) can be automated and likely will be automated in the coming decades. If you are college age, you should be planning for a more automated future.
I paid for my entire education myself by working nights and weekends and taking side gigs in combination with loans and scholarships. It took me 6 years to complete a 4 year degree because of sheer exhaustion and I did NOT choose the best university I could have attended (that would have been an Ivy) because I didn't have the money to do so and I didn't feel comfortable saddling myself with giant loan debt.

Two questions:

1. What do you think my opportunity cost was, and
2. How much do you think I lost by not pursuing an education at a university worthy of my accomplishments to that point?

You have a very entitled point of view from where I sit.

What is wrong with Linux nowadays? I've used it as my main driver for long enough that I can't see the big problems that are preventing everyone from switching. Like, it seems easier than even WSL to me. Beginner friendly distos seem to have solved the package management problem, and there are adequate desktop environments, office suites, browsers, gaming, and everything else. If a person has good hardware compatibility, in the face of the bloated pushyess of Windows 11, why not use Linux? What am I missing?
What Apple wants and what I want seems to intersect about 95% of the time, at least in terms of phones and laptops.

Mainly what I want is to not think about my tools at all, and just pick them up or put them down whenever the need arises, without worrying about whether I'm making a secret catastrophic error or that my tools are pretending to be my tools, while actually their master is somebody else.

I gladly sacrifice control to Apple the same way I sacrifice control to my doctor or to my sanitation engineer, or, if I had a car, to my car manufacturer.

There is toxicity around literally every topic on every corner of the internet. Why does it bother you only specifically with FromSoft games.

Because you disagree. Which is fine I respect your opinion. However, I would argue "community toxicity" is a bad cloud to yell at and can be used to justify any statement.
It appears we have a demographic crisis in the making. We desperately need to automate as many jobs as we can, get people to take the jobs we can't, and pay UBI to folks without the skills to find a job.
> People repeat that but what is it based on? Most of the population, including most people who have economic stability and freedom, have not had STEM jobs and very likely will not have STEM jobs.

What generation? In my parents' generation, a secretary could get good health insurance for their family and retire with a pension. Today, someone new hired into that role would struggle to afford rent or health insurance for just themselves, and retirement is out of the question.

I think there is a relative amount of middle class wealth left that hides the fact that many modern jobs do not pay middle class compensation anymore. There are a lot of house poor people that might have the trappings of middle class life, but they're on life support.

In many places, to live a middle class lifestyle from 40 years ago would require young workers without assets to earn six figure incomes. Even in "affordable" places, incomes required for a middle class lifestyle are approaching six figures, as well. I'm certainly not one of those people who think STEM is the be-all and end-all solution to anything, but STEM jobs often put workers in the six figure income range.

Same here. I'm a programmer, and my goal is to delay phones for my kids until the last possible hour.

My kids spend time drawing, doing sports, reading books, swimming, playing with friends and animals.

Phones and devices are like digital crack for kids, and they prefer to keep hitting that lever over any of these other activities when the option is there.
Plenty of opportunity in all kinds of software. Ad supported webapps get the headlines because they (or at least the ones you're thinking about) aggregate really well, but there's a lot of work out there.

Academic physics research is not very useful economically, since we've figured out most of the stuff that will ever contribute to engineering needs -- building stuff that real people benefit from -- in our lifetimes. Not all! But most.

Mechanical/structural/chemical/etc. engineering on the other hand (a.k.a. physics and chemistry applied to real world problems) are very well-compensated skill-sets.

Thank you for taking the time to go more in-depth! That was much more insightful.

And I agree, no introduction week is going to give you the institutional knowledge that you need to be effective in your team. But, circling back to the article, having your colleagues tell you how to work with the phone book and org chart or guiding you through SSO is certainly not a productive use of their time and much better done centrally.

I'm sorry that you had such a negative and unproductive experience, and avoiding this kind of situation is part of the reason why I still provide one-on-one training to new hires, even though it takes a lot of time. But I am grateful for the stuff that is covered in a central training which I won't have to waste my time on.

So yeah, everything in moderation.

We can't do better? Functioning is our only standard? We could go back to the Middle Ages, or be hunter-gatherers, where for 95% of homo sapien history probably most adults were 'functioning'.

You can get GPU accelerated YouTube videos in OpenBSD, provided you have a supported GPU in the first place.

Pure anecdote in our household. High school aged daughter who was not eligible for 3rd dose of vaccine got covid twice in 6 weeks, unknown variant, mild symptoms.

The rest of us in the household had the 3rd dose. None of us got covid despite not really following the guidelines for isolation.

Seems like the 3rd dose vaccine was pretty effective for us.

i have google. it shows how much iPhones cost.
There was a paper posted on HN ages ago now, studying the mechanism by which masks were effective against covid... they argued it was essentially due to maintaining a higher temperature and humidity in the nose and throat. It's well known that rhinovirus for instance, reproduces more efficiently in cooler environments, so this seems plausible.

It's also possible there is more than one mechanism, and that an n95 or equivalent mask with fine enough particulate filter can additionally reduce exposure significantly (initial exposure level also being accepted as having some effect for viruses in general).

So you can look down on people with those fabric masks, but possibly not be completely correct. Honestly though... the whole mask wearing thing is more about trends of what is "socially acceptable" than science. I'm not saying there is no value, but that the forces dictating when most people do or do not wear a mask have very little to do with how well informed they are or on the current accepted understanding having changed, and far more to do with what is considered socially acceptable at the present time... so it's hardly surprising no one particularly cares about the type of mask.

I learned so much, I cannot imagine having only the knowledge and intellectual skills that I had from high school.
On my experience these "optimists" you describe are often raging pessimists when it comes to progressive human endeavors. And as a nihilist myself, I retreat into a study of institutions, trying to discover ways to alleviate human suffering. I do look down in disgust on these "optimists" but for very different reasons. They are the enablers of continued human suffering.
> ...which is very strange that MS seems to be continuing to rewrite stuff in it

From what I understand, the thinking is something like:

- There currently aren't any great alternatives for an attractive, touch-friendly, modern-looking UI framework. UWP applications generally feel pretty good to use despite UWP's problems.

- MS already has to support UWP apps forever (once something ships with Windows it's immortal), so they might as well take advantage of that support guarantee.

The Windows team is currently investing heavily in Chromium/Edge/WebView2, but it's still fairly early days. I'd bet good money that within the next 5 years, web UI in some form will fully replace UWP for new first-party development.

>the only way I can think to do that is through rent control and special housing programs.

This is a part of the problem. Rent control is such a half assed solution that makes everything illiquid and worse for anyone not already locked into a good deal. It's similar to the deal that incumbents have in ownership. Look at SF. Rent control or not, you will have to pay 3k+ for a 1 BR in a 100 year old building with no appliances, poor heat, and no parking. Only people who have been living in rent controlled apartments for their whole lives have a good deal. It doesn't facilitate liquidity at all.

> That is not at all what I am saying. I'm saying that the $/month "bandwidth" charge cloud entities charges is $0, which is true, they don't pay per volume, they pay for other things in their agreements for peering and so on.

I used the colloquial phrase "bandwidth and server costs" to describe all of the things that go into delivering packets, without needing to discuss individual expenses, because those weren't relevant and don't mean anything to anyone not in a tech role. You decided to redefine that to mean "exclusively per-TB transfer charges" -- you even nitpicked the word "bandwidth" and ignored the word "server" because you needed to change the truth to fit your narrative.

"I know it's a lie when I hear that the Russian army is bombing civilians in Ukraine: because it's just impossible" said a nice old Russian lady when interviewed. :-(

I'm both French and American, and majored in History. Nothing to be proud of, if you subtract all the massacres, imperial wars, torture, colonization, slavery, etc from the achievements.

Humans Rights are under duress in both countries (Guantanamo, police violence) ; the democracy is under attack in both - even if their respective political situations are totally different.

This bridge symbolizes in my opinion the great achievements made possible when humans choose to cooperate rather than compete in the zero-sum game of national prides.

So, a great bridge, the longest of its kind! Well done, everybody, impressive!
