I’ve worked in administration at multiple universities and have a masters degree in education so I am well aware of how these institutions function on the inside.

It is an indisputable fact that university administrations have become very bloated over time. This is just one example of one department that would not have existed 10-20 years ago, but it now commands a multi million dollar budget at just one campus of a large public university that has multiple campuses throughout the state.

You can describe the merits of a DEI office and we can debate whether universities were much worse off when they didn’t exist, but the fact is they add cost. Like all the other offices. Many of which are full of the university version of “resters and vesters” riding out their time to eventually collect their retirements.

I went into university administration inspired by the vision of the California master plan of higher education and the people like Clark Kerr who helped build that vision. But it quickly became clear that the culture within university administration today is sadly lacking any of that former vision and seems focused on growing department budgets while producing the most minimal amount of work.
IMHO, this isn’t about “Modern JavaScript” or “JavaScript Culture” at all. It’s just $CURRENT_THING and the Cargo Cult is happy to oblige.

Futhermore, dev shops (like my employer) profit from selling overcomplicated solutions.

So in the end it’s just group dynamics that drive the usual hype cycle. Remember MVVM?
I usually think of logics as search algorithms, since that's how the semantics for the meta-language describing them are defined.

I guess you could call a Turing Machine implementing the search algorithm for proofs implied by a logic an "observer", since it produces "reachability observations" i.e. proofs.
When I put my data in, the simulation didn’t update. It was still showing me $1m+ retirement predictions.

You should consider the opposite. Keeping interest rates artificially high by borrowing ever more money.

I don't know where people get this idea that reducing demand for borrowing and increasing savings is supposed to raise the interest rate. Borrowing more money increases the demand for capital and thereby the interest rate.

If the government didn't have to borrow a dollar for every dollar that was taken out of circulation the interest rate would be negative and people would be discouraged from saving more than others want to be in debt.
for what benefit?
why do you think after 36 years, its htmx that is changing things
Yes. Here in the UK there's a program called Grand Designs about people building beautiful or innovative bespoke homes. One such was an engineer building a home with insulated foundation walls as you describe, based on academic research done by his father in the 1970s & 80s.

IIRC it took c. 18 months for the floor to reach equilibrium, but once there, virtually no other heating was required, winter or summer (in the UK).
Again I ask, why do you want "booming" populations and not "work-ready, healthy" populations, aka 1sigma upwards?
> I think that we might still be looking for the algebraic notation or Leibniz notation for programming that will make everything completely obvious and will make future generations look back at our C, Python, Rust, et al and marvel that we were able to do anything.

I used to think this too, and spent years looking for that notation, but now I think I was wrong. I think any gains now from notational inventions will be dwarfed by further gains from scaling up neural nets. I think we've 'been living in Symbolia but now are in the age of Weightville.

Repentance was the last thing I expected to find in here, and it did go a long way towards lowering my blood pressure.

I hope other companies take note as well.
Oh, I had a cheap magnifying glass; And I had access to a "Community Science Center" where they would have let me use a high-school-class microscope if I begged enough* . The problem was it didn't even occur to me to take that tiny rubbery strip that seriously. True shame really - by that time I had taken apart enough LCD calculators for there to be nothing surprising in any of them. This was the first surprise, in a while. I really should have focused on figuring it out. Just never occurred to me that the 10mmx1mmx1mm thingy was such an awesome thing.

*for free too; It was my favorite Saturday hangout spot - watching lab demonstrations, animal dissections etc, playing with the ever-changing interactive science demos).
Luckily programming is not football and you can take all your time to write the code. I'm commenting this thinking about impaired people that either type with one finger or even by other means, not touching the keyboard.
I was able to put my data in. The simulation predictions still showed $1m+ retirement data.

CVE-2022-29153: To Consul or Not to Consul

It's a risk when building homes for the general public, things like ventilation need to be idiot-proof. Maybe a big red warning if the system isn't working properly? Mandatory inspections?
Don't do that. There's all sorts of very complex OS-level UX controls which hook into a text box. If you implement your own text box using canvas, all this stuff will be broken by default.

For example:

- Ctrl+Left / right for moving a word at a time. This is Alt+Left/right on a mac I think. There's another keyboard shortcut to go to the start / end of a line, or the start / end of the input element. These shortcuts are OS-specific and can be overridden in the user's OS level settings - which you don't have access to from javascript. There's a mountain of shortcuts - like Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X/C/V, etc. They all vary per OS. You have to implement them correctly on every operating system.

- International character input methods. Eg, how would you type Japanese / Korean / Chinese characters into your text element?

- Undo/redo support

- Text selection via the mouse, the keyboard and on mobile by touch-dragging to select.

- Accessibility - like voiceover and dictation.

No matter how dedicated you are, I guarantee your custom canvas element will never correctly re-implement all the features already available in a simple HTML text input element.
You act like this is easy. It still requires capital to get started, and, if it's a threat to the major players, they'll use their even greater capital to squash it. See all the times ISPs have sued small, locally focused ISPs into the ground for trying to offer service. Unless there's a significant amount of capital, frivolous lawsuits would quickly eat away any funds.
Within the same room at least, the big catch is that that’s with 16 spatial streams. A more likely 2 streams would top out at 5gbps link rate, and somewhere around 3gbps of real throughput.

Then the only real caveat is that you’re using 2/7 (or 2/3 in the EU) of the allocated 6ghz spectrum, but that’s workable given the range of 6ghz.
Inclusive language and sterilized business language are probably different beasts. You can also be courteous while using vulgar language in certain contexts. I guess Google employees won't have an option to not use the "inclusive" option. This is nothing else than corporate language policing.
You may not know this but you live in the richest, healthiest, freest period of human history. Economic growth is a moral imperative even so because there are still over a billion people living in desperate poverty. If we didn’t care about people outside the OECD, sure we could go to lotus eating but there’s still widespread malnutrition in much of South Asia and they’re doing better than large parts of Africa. Things have been getting better on every continent but Africa in terms of standard of living and health span since WW2 but things can still get better again. Even Africa is a success by any historic standards. There’s a lot less war and starvation than you’d expect from a continent with ~0 GDP per capita growth.

Growth is a moral imperative. Every human deserves a decent standard of living.

MS Word has had similar features for a few years now, so I think the world outside of HN already has some experience with it. In a professional setting, it's very useful. It's not just about ethnic slurs, which usually don't even find their way into my documents, but also about checking for clarity and conciseness. In the end, I've found that they usually improve my writing.

Of course, when writing text messages in WhatsApp or composing a novel, these suggestions are not necessary or even harmful. As long as these tools are optional, however, I don't see any harm there either.
Reusing existing infrastructure makes a lot of sense.

Some solar and wind and battery projects are sited to take advantage of disused or in some cases shared infrastructure (e.g. floating solar on hydro dams).

Data centers in old powerplants that use the infrastructure in reverse to buy electricity (and sometimes for cooling) are also a thing.

But anything that uses steam is probably not going to be competitive with renewables even with the savings this adds (particularly if you could have used the infrastructure for something else).
When words are just containers for adds the most important thing about them is their inoffensiveness.
On the other hand, accidently planting life there to make it inhabitable one day doesn't sound too bad either
I personally didn't find most of the list interesting, but this is nice:

> RISC-V: support for ratified 1.0 Vector extension, as well as Zve64f, Zve32f, Zfhmin, Zfh, zfinx, zdinx, and zhinx{min} extensions.

Always happy to see RISC-V getting fully formed:)
What changed my assessment was actually another commenter[0] highlighting that the cop may be personally liable. If that's the case, then it could be a good thing with regards to qualified immunity. Cops seeing that there may be severe negative consequences for their actions may make them decide to behave.

Yes, I remember when it was introduced in 2017 when precise (12.04) was going EOL.

However, the uptake was so good that it was soon bundled in the regular Ubuntu support contracts, and I see it's available for free for a limited number of machines today (3 iirc, like Ubuntu Livepatch).

Maybe it is the driver for enterprises to get Ubuntu paid support today, but doesn't seem like it feom the outside.

Of those jobs you named, aged/disability care is the only sector that is going to grow, because of the demographic development. Unless medicine makes great strides in treating aging, more nurses and caretakers will be needed.

Growth in security jobs is possible, though it spells a bad omen: if more security is needed per capita, there is something going wrong with law enforcement policies.

Human driving jobs will disappear one day, much like horse drivers did. Even though autonomous driving is proving to be a harder nut to crack than people expected, by 2050 it will be solved.

In the meantime, Africa will add about a billion people. They must be educated, there simply isn't enough muscle jobs for them in the developed world.

Could you, who is so clever compared to the stupid xenophobes, explain something to me? I am very curious about me how the crack dealing migrants from Mali and Niger that regularly vandalise my street will rejuvenate our economy?

Also it seems that in your indisputable intellectual superiority you seemed to forgot something rather… basic: that a country may not just be an economy?
You can write BBOM in any language/platform/technology.

It is always the programmers that is the limitation, not the chosen technology. Thus you should pick technology that makes sense for the majority of programmers. PHP fits that. Just follow a guide to avoid BBOM.
I know they're present, but they're "Unofficial ISOs", and most people don't get these (incl. me, when I need them).

The blog post is putting the idea of adding the firmware blobs into the official ISO files, and as a Debian user, I'm not comfortable with that.

So, I'm offering another trade-off: "Make inclusion of firmware blobs to installation media on the fly easier, keep firmware off the official ISOs". It's a bit of a DIY solution, but it doesn't need flexing policies, DFSG and the values Debian is standing for.

It's a thin but important line to cross for me.
Growth per capita is what matters for your point, not overall growth of an ever increasing number of people.

> how about paying employees adequately to a point where they don't have to work multiple full time jobs at a time

We aren't talking about people holding mulitple low-paying jobs to make ends meet. It's mostly people in well payed positions taking advantage of being remote.
Modern alternative would be for example AlpineJS+HTMX, or Turbo/Hotwire.
I wasn't referring to calling someone another gender. Doing so is just minimum courtesy. I do believe that courtesy cannot be mandated though and I would not want anyone having it mandated for my sake.

I meant words like mailman and such. Of course a mailman could also be a woman. I think calling someone a mailwoman is fine, but the word does not carry intrinsic offense.
That's how you do it!
Well, first you would have to explain what you mean by your statement.

That was my first thought, the americanisation of global culture (especially online) already causes so many annoying issues. My kids get confused on how to spell things because everything online and in TV/movies is different to what we tell them. They get auto-correct on their devices telling them they're making mistakes when they're not (such as Firefox in this very comment underlining "americanisation" and telling me it should use a Z, despite my language being set to EN-AU). We have people forgetting our own slang and historically-common phrases because they've been replaced in popular media with American equivalents.

Is Google going to detect the persons location and suggest things relevant to their local culture? Of course not, they're going to tell my kid to speak more american or punish them with red (or purple in this new case) underlines which makes them feel bad... despite them doing nothing wrong.
Explain how that changes anything. Does an employer somehow have the right to limit the income of employees because they are supposedly well-paid? If someone can get two jobs done successfully who exactly are they taking advantage of?
Then likely youre not talking about the same thing anymore. Usually we talk about 'men' and 'women', and assume it makes up >90% of the population. Anyone else can simply pick whichever they feel like, can't they? So if you're pre-hrt trans, what is stopping you from just calling yourself a woman? Isnt that the whole point?

This would be my default assumption to be honest. Any controversial discussion on Reddit tends to take over your mod queue with arguments and reports and then claims of mods overreaching, personal attacks etc etc.

Add to that the number of self important users who feel the need to make their own post rather then join a discussion and subs can be taken over by a topic super fast and become way more work then you signed up for.

People are way too quick to assume conspiracies when unpaid-mods-don't-want-to-deal-with-the-hassel-or-potential-real-life-consequences is a very likely much more obvious scenario.
I know big SV companies have money to burn, but surely there was some project management in place to quantify the cost of building such a complex, in-house solution?
> "Human right" by definition means that it applies to all humans

Correct

> ever automatically.

Eh, since human rights are a (very valuable) legal construct, this statement isn't really rigorous enough to parse. Do human rights as defined by 2022 EU law apply to ancient Egypt? What would it mean if they did, or did not? IMHO, not even a question worth attempting to define.

Human rights are great, but you won't find them in the laws of physics, only in the laws of people.
> Why? They're already wealthy. How about just stop allocating the vast majority of that wealth to a handful of people and then focus on total well-being metrics rather than "growth" for its own sake.

Because growth is what is required to make capitalism "sustainable". Without constant growth, capitalism eventually fails. Unless you're for abandoning capitalism, you can't abandon the focus on growth.

I am for abandoning the focus on growth, and therefore also abandoning capitalism, but there are lots of people who don't want to abandon capitalism, a lot of them the same people who hold a lot of power and connections already, so it's a uphill fight.

But capitalism is all about wealth concentration. Giving more to those who don't need it is the entire point because that excess capital can be used to run an economic siege. Just wait until your enemy runs out of capital.

Decentralizing wealth and giving employment opportunities to those who actually need them is more of a Rootbug/Freiwirtschaft thing.
Richest, yes.

Healthiest, it depends. Obesity and metabolic diseases are at their record highs. That's not health. You can medicate those patients to survive, but that's not health.

At least Goodle has not degraded to nothing and can search at all. Youtube search is working only if you have seen a video where some interesting X have been mentioned which leads a lot of people to search that X - you will find that X from entering 1-2 letters. Otherwise it just gives you random stuff even if you ask him "channelname avesome-video-I-know-precise-naming-of".
As a non-native speaker, I agree. Such tools are not new and extremely helpful when writing professional documents.

I also think that we are nowhere close to actually censoring words in editors like Google Docs, MS Word, ... even though it might seem like a small change from providing suggestions to enforcing them. But when you think about it, it's a huge change, both from a technical standpoint and even more so from an ethical one.

Providing writing suggestions is certainly far from the worst thing that tech monopolies have ever done.
