Heh, in HS I convinced the Drafting Department (1988) that if we were ever going to draw anything in the "real world" (I was in 8th grade, but took HS level drafting) that we would only ever do it on a computer.

I pitched the school board and we were funded to set up a CAD dept - which of course I needed a server to share cad files etc...

I setup the system, and then my buddy and I setup a BBS on the server and were running a warez site frm the HS CAD Lab.

I'm interested what numbers you're pulling that tell the story of the US doing more harm (define harm?) to innocent civilians versus, just the first example that comes to mind, the uyghur genocide.
I'm in the same boat - there's no way I would have worked at Twitter a year ago; but now I would consider it. Elon's acquisition has made me much more optimistic about the outlook of the company. If Twitter has a mass exodus after the acquisition, I'm sure there's a wave of open-minded engineers ready to take their place.
Also, the stated purpose was to subvert the democratic process and install their figurehead as leader. I don't know that I'd call it an attempted coup, either, because that gives them too much credit. They weren't particularly well organized, and didn't seem to know what to do once they breached the capitol building.

That said, it doesn't really matter that the gilets jaunes were protesting for longer and in larger numbers; directly comparing them is a category error. The gilet jaunes were operating within the norms of how French civil society currently operates. The Capitol protesters/insurgents/whatever were expressly trying to overturn them. Maybe not a coup, maybe not treason, but sedition at the very least.
As an electronics teacher, I don't think it is specifically that learning from books is difficult but that it is hard to strike the balance between theory and practice, the high level and the low level.

As a hobby electronics enthusiast who has been dabbling with this stuff basically my whole life, and is currently lodged firmly somewhere in the gap between "total n00b" and "advanced beginner", I would absolutely agree. The gap between practice and theory in this field is so large, and so many books are all the way at one end of the spectrum or the other, that it's very hard (in my experience) to find material in the "sweet spot" between theory and practice.

The reality is, you can learn a lot, and do a lot, with a moderately superficial knowledge of the underlying theory. But at the same time, there's a lot you can't do, or a lot of mistakes you can make unknowingly, without knowing the theory. Learning it incrementally, piece-meal as needed, is somewhat doable, but it's a slog. I wish I had a good answer for people who want to "do some electronics" but don't want to go get an E.E. degree.
Sure 300K TC seems impressive relative to the Barista you buy your Latte from but it pales in comparison to the amount that people like Zuckerburg, Musk, Bezos, etc have increased their wealth in the past 2 years for example, which is on the order of 10s of Billions. You are far closer to the homeless you guy step over on the way to Twitter HQ than to Jack Dorsey and sure if you deliver a great result this quarter maybe you'll make 400k next year but it's all relative.
Genuine Q: Is that their purpose as opposed to returning profits to shareholders ?
Also in the analytics space but not related to IoT apps, curious do you do use batch or stream processing or combination of both in lambda architecture?

Just on a high level what components are you using behind the scenes? I ask because I love this work!
Thank you all. Caddy is an absolute blessing!
>Does asking for a match imply that you are threatening to leave, though?

It absolutely means you're leaving

If they match today, you've already telegraphed to them that you're not happy, and will leave as soon as you can

You're going to be first on the chopping block for layoffs, last in line for promotional consideration, etc

You're basically telling your employer "pay me more even though I'm not doing anything else for you"
Is the curriculum being watered down? My reading on this the last time it came up on HN is that the sequencing of math topics is being changed, which results in classes not having the familiar names like Algebra 2, Geometry, AB Calculus, etc. That doesn’t mean the concepts will not be covered by the end.

I remember the huge blowups over “Common Core” years ago, which included new ways of teaching math concepts. I got to see some of it in action during COVID as I sat in on elementary Zoom school with my kid. I have to say I was impressed; they used techniques I did not recognize, but they seemed to work well.
I strongly disagree with you. He qualified "about the real world." Yes, there are other types of knowledge, even something like math might be an example, but certainly cultural, fictions, and so on. That's not what he's talking about though, nor is he saying that in the absence of empirical knowledge you shouldn't use other less rigorous information to make decisions.

Also, in your example about human rights, this to me is a choice we make. It's not any sort of physical law of the universe, and as such science doesn't say anything about it.
Their stock will continue to exist, just not traded publicly.

Other clauses can force the buyer to acquire your stocks, like a tag along clause.
Rant: Sooner or later some person will use all the data to something no good. I predicted some 8 years ago that criminals would start using encryption in the same way military does. It scared me. Encro happened; Criminal networks using encryption to plan murder, smuggle drugs, human trafficking etc. Data has been called the new oil, businesses are more and more finding ways to refine it. Will it be for their good? Yes. Will it be for your good? Just as long as it does not conflict with their good? By the businesses giving away features ("the first one free"); look at the ever better search results or all the long lost friends in social media; you are lured into giving away your data because it helps you. The problem is that our machines and even business models have become so complicated that it is hard for people to know all the logic and data flows. Can anyone without a comp sci University degree discuss strengths and weaknesses in various encryption methods? Journlists, politicians, public opinion? As engineers, programmers, mathematicians, nerds etc we don't see the problem because a) this stuff is paying our bills b) it's just so much fun to use your intellect to conceive new things no one thought about. All the code I've written has been mathematically proven? (Well...)
Of course, I have waited for some 20 years for techageddon and it hasn't happend (that I know of?). Can we learn from history? What about mr Murphy, the guy with the law? Why is the debate so just...nowhere?

Well, never mind, back to sleep then, take the pills, leave the kids at school, wait for the paycheck, make another payment on the mortgage. By the way, the kids love the phones, filters are so much fun, facial recognition is soo practical. Why would anyone be intrested in my emails, phonecalls, age, preferred gender, facial patterns, voice patterns, habits, bad habits; I'm no politician or famous person. I bet their phones and mine are protected by some...kind agency. Social media is way better than school. If everyone can find you in your underwear in social media, you are so much not just a weirdo, just like everyone else. Gig economy is freedom. What was the name of that new Russian "rocket" - САТАН, what does that even mean? Why can't they just use 7-bit ASCII? Elon's got it all figured out for us. People usually don't take opportunities to make dishonest money. Don't worry, icy chills may be trained to be ignored. The dating app will help you conceive children of the appropriate IQ. Those paranoid brain cells are just wasting your energy. Life will be so much freer without. We'll blame big pharma later and then some network / streaming service may use it for entertainment.

TLDR: Of course you already know that the spelling of powerful in Swedish is kraftfull. Kraftful is so much more fun. It translates into power ugly
ppl complain about twitter being bad..4chan is just way more moderation, awful captcha system, new posts always being hidden at the bottom, etc.
> It seemed like you were incorrectly understanding what the other person was attempting to say,

I wasn't, as I clearly laid out in my last reply.

> and being pretty opinionated about it, for not much reason.

An interesting reply from someone who is making no substantive arguments at all.

> The point of all of this, is that you don't have to mis-interpret someone else's statements in order to disagree with them.

Agreed. Good thing I didn't.

> You can simply agree with the clarification that someone later gave, agree that this is what they said, and then state you thoughts on that clarification.

They gave no clarification. If you actually look at the thread, someone else jumped in to try and claim the parent wrote something they didn't. The parent has not been part of this at all. Now you've jumped in to make your own little interpretation of someone else's interpretation of someone else's comment. Just think about that for a second.

So again, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
Based upon the number of developers who want to build something new and actively avoid long term maintenance positions that doesn't seem right.
The relevant quantity in ultra high energy cosmic rays (like OMG!) is the GZK limit (initials of a paper's authors), which is an upper limit on the energy-momentum of an intergalactic proton, set by interactions with charged matter and cosmic microwaves along the way, which transfer an UHEC proton's momentum to particles resulting from the interactions. OMG! is one of several curious possible violations of the GZK speed limit. (GZK does not deal with re-acceleration close to our galaxy via coupling to magnetic fields for instance, nor says anything about a galactic origin for something with cosmic-ray energies; it's all about how very fast protons can be slowed down over cosmological distances).

The highest energies of UHEC protons are probably not caused by "instant" accelerations as in a supernova (which certainly produces high energy protons that fly across the cosmos). Instead, they're more likely drawn up magnetically around the supermassive black holes powering active galactic nuclei (quasars, blazars and so on) and into jets, where they spend possibly weeks or accelerating through a natural counterpart to a particle accelerator which benefits from things like inverse Compton scattering (a hard X-ray from the black hole hits our proton boosting the proton's momentum and lengthening the X-ray's wavelength (i.e., reducing its momentum)).

But because we don't know OMG!'s origin, we can't say if OMG! tests any acceleration limit originating in uncertainty relations. Also, the Caianiello limit is unhealthy for protons (which OMG! likely was) staying protons: that they are composite structures makes them liable to be blown apart by extreme acceleration. Assuming it's a proton and had a blazar origin, OMG! is (really rough back-of-envelope work) likely to have fallen between 7 and 40 orders of magnitude short of the maximum (proper) acceleration. The intuition here is that OMG! is well short of Planck energy (by some 7 orders of magnitude) and super-high acceleration should take a proton from thermal energies to Planck energies. Of course a proton much closer to Planck energy could lose proportionally more along the way than a less-energetic proton, so who knows? There could be a doctoral dissertation waiting to be written on this!

Also, sorta disappointingly, OMG! could have had an electric charge greater than +1 (i.e., some ion with more than one proton) and in that case could have originated as close as our own sun <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energetic_particles> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HZE_ions>.
Sharing with wind is trivial, and already common.

Renewables are still very far from built out, so not seeing something done in your vicinity tells you very little about its practicality.

A pretty good rundown on shared use for solar PV and vegetable crops is at
https://greencoast.org/agrivoltaics/
with reports of better yields, up to 3x in certain crops, from reduced heat stress and water loss, and also higher efficiency in the panels from cooler operation.

There are many different configurations being experimented with. Just elevating and spacing out the panels in otherwise conventional installations is common. But some are putting in exactly-vertical, double-sided panels, starting near ground level, that they drive tractors between. Panels have been used on the roofs of greenhouses for a long time. Using the framework supporting panels for other apparatus, such as irrigation piping, is common. In some fields, panels are placed directly above plants to protect them against harsh weather.

There are experiments with partially transparent panels, that harvest the green light plants don't use, and pass the rest through.

An example of people in UK complaining (at length) about solar PV displacing agriculture is at:

> HomeBrew for Mac or Linux

Please do not recommend HomeBrew for Linux. A binary download is safer compared to how HomeBrew clobbers a Linux machine. If you do not wish to use a Linux package manager, simply point at the binary download. It is much safer and less intrusive.
Inversely, why not? Why aim for a large user base? That doesn't sound aligned with the ideology behind this language

Keeping the scope niche/small seems like a feature to me, not a bug. Let non-FOSS OS users find something else (?)

I am personally no FOSS zealot but I can respect a project that has a firm idea of its scope and targeted user base and wishes to stay limited to that

Not everything needs to be huge or growth hacked to death
I think America is going to have to take a hard look at its math education if it’s serious about re-industrializing. Where are all the extra engineers going to come from?

I think you are touching on theory I have that Americans are becoming increasingly resentful that technical skills are becoming more necessary for middle class living. This is a huge driver of the pervading sense of precariousness. For some reason there’s a huge math phobia in this country
Sounds like people at twitter are in CYA mode?
> That is solely and utterly because of Tesla. The reason for the demand was to build electric cars which Tesla and only Tesla, building butt load of BEVs required. Everybody else before Tesla showed up was either making hybrids with minuscule capacity requirement or low range BEVs in low volumes.

And so did Tesla with it's roadster. The model S was/is also a lower-volume, high price luxury car; it's only the model 3 that really changed this. Also, the increased demand was relating to BEVs; some of which is surely due to Teslas offering, but a lot definitely came from recent trends against ICE cars and increasing prices.

> Again, all because or Tesla. They are all riding on Tesla’s success.

Hard disagree. The Nissan Leaf has been around since 2010, and so have manufacturers like BYD. Just take a look at the list of production BEVs [0] (the smaller manufacturers are actually missing from there, since they're not production vehicles). Tesla wasn't the first to market and didn't create it on its own. I'm not disagreeing that they pushed the field or that they generated a lot of hype, but the market would exist with or without Tesla.

Also, sidenote:

> Why do you think Rivian IPO was greater than century old car makers marker cap making multi million number of vehicles a year where Rivian made none?!! Tesla.

Hype and market insanity, really.

> That is a pointless statement you can say about anyone at any time in history which is to say nothing. You can’t go back in time and let this play out by someone else. Elon is the one who did all this and we’re stuck with this history.

Which is completely fine. Having Elon is surely a net positive. But attributing all progress in the BEV space and space sector just to him is simply wrong.

Ubuntu’s customizability (valued by the article’s author) is Linux offering a billion jars of jam.
The astronomical parts of that, yes. Say some historical scholar plotted the movements of the planets and concluded that people born under a certain constellation share a characteristic because of a supernatural aspect of the planet. The former - the tracking of celestial objects - is science, the latter part rooted in superstition is not.
I’ve seen a few tirades on HN along the lines “the kids are going into FAANG and useless startups instead of working on DARPA projects”.

99% of the time when I try to learn about some program or opportunity with the federal government I get met with most most hostile website on earth which seems to be intent on not giving me any useful information.
I think you proved it's great to write your own encryption because your will learn a ton of new stuff ;)

But yes, don't use it in production before the LockPickingLawyer took a look at it.
It's pretty poor to regress on the vast majority of currently available displays just because there are a handful of multi-thousand-dollar monitors available. Apple can't even sell a 27" monitor for less than $1500 because the experience wouldn't be on-brand. If you look at the big-ticket items that Apple sells, they have cheaper versions of everything except displays. They only put their brand on the most expensive displays because they know what their software looks like on anything less.
Private investment by national companies is very different to private investment by foreign hostile companies.

A Chinese company (and by default, Chinese gov) controlling the majority of Mexico's Lithium deposits is insane, no matter how people try to spin that, as populist or anti-capitalist.

A country has the right to control the resources in its territories.
I agree but I would still like a screen with the ability to connect to the obd2 information.
To be fair Chrome is also far ahead of Firefox when it comes to performance and security (not to be confused with privacy).

Safari is fast but compatibility is lacking, not just compared to Chrome.
Anyone remember any names of DAWs back then? - I had it on my Mac Classic round about 92-95. I thought it was called EasyStudio but man, apparently it was a while ago and I seem to be getting forgetful...
Sounds like a good first step. Especially if his plan is to run Twitter in a more hands off way. Instead of 7,500 employees, they can probably do the job with 700 people that are specially picked, and make the company much more efficient.

Reddit apparently has 700 employees today, and they haven't done anything significant since they had far fewer employees. Scaling these services just isn't nearly as hard as it used to be, especially given how many more experienced engineers and good technologies exist today.

Twitter should re-build the product to be almost purely software driven, with as little employee intervention as possible. Give users the tools to self-moderate content however they want. For the good of their users and long-term success, they'd be wise to make self-moderation easier to do in a "healthy" way even if it's worse for short-term engagement and revenue. Again, Reddit did this fairly well for years without a huge team.

What Twitter lacks most of all is someone with the guts to risk breaking the product in order to fix the product. The team at Twitter has been visibly afraid to make significant changes, which has left the product weak by modern standards. It's a lot like Apple was before Jobs came back.
Well you're forced to sell for a profit, Elon is buying for a loss.
how often are you peeing on walls on why?
Ever since my team started using Splunk (circa 2012), we claimed for a more open version we could tinker with and not cost an arm and a leg to ingest multiple terabytes of daily data.

Positioning as an opensource Splunk would be an interesting play.
Going through your docs the union() function looks like it returns a set, akin to splunk values(), is there the equivalent to list()?

Elastic is great in its lane, but it requires more resources and has a monolith weight, that has left a sour taste from our internal testing. Doing a minimal ElasticSearch compatible API would open up your target audience, are there any plans to do you it in a short term horizon (< 1 year)?
I'm not sure it's merely that. Most vocational track high schools types (except the hotel / restaurant ones that are well designed) here in Italy are honestly bad, not really helping students reach their full potential, but the content of the courses isn't on-its-face farcical like that "data science" course.

There are clearly decision makers detached from reality involved here.
There is a funny video -

8 current Photoshop experts using Photoshop 1.0 and recording their reactions.

The funniest I think is when they all find out they only have 1 undo.
Who left Friendfeed? I don't remember people leaving it. I remember people not joining it (after its glory days) and then Facebook closing it. Idem for Orkut (mostly only popular in Brazil IIRC).

If you thought of an exodus after investors meddled in, mentioning Digg v4 (to Reddit) would have been à propos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg#Digg_v4
One in four women suffer pain severe enough to result in absenteeism from regular activities.

> Menstrual pain is a very common problem, but the need for medication and the inability to function normally occurs less frequently. Nevertheless, at least one in four women experiences distressing menstrual pain characterized by a need for medication and absenteeism from study or social activities

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3392715/

A common tongue-in-cheek joke among some women I know is that if men suffered from intense monthly pain this probably would have been cured 50 years ago. I suspect most men still minimize how debilitating mensuration is for many women.
Pretty similar with Clojure, though because it's not the default mode of operation, more stuff will break. Still, we do this all the time and it's mostly fine.

That said, seems like you should be able to do something pretty similar fairly easily with jars and the JVM (you may not want to run lots of JVMs in the method you're describing, since if you're calling these processes in a one-shot, CGI-style fashion, the JVMs startup time and memory requirements is going to be annoying.)

GP also linked babashka which may be closer to your interests, as its an interpreter for small scripts like these, but also comes with a mechanism (pods) for loading dependencies (like SQLite).
