What are you using instead of plastic jewel cases? I just really can't see any alternative that's as safe, reliable, and easy to replace.
It’s nice as a tourist.

Is education likely to help or are people just making bad choices because in the short term it is desirable?

I make bad choices sometimes, it’s not because I don’t know better…
It's basically a throwback to the era of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI keeping files on everyone of interest, although now it's being done hand in hand with the NSA's mass collection system. Which is still splitting all fiber optic traffic at the major domestic nodes and piping it off for collection, isn't it? As revealed well before Snowden actually:

The question more people should be asking: How can this kind of vacuum-style, society wide surveillance exist alongside promises of democratic governance, and parallel to constitutional guarantees that the government will stay out of our business unless we are suspected to have committed a crime?

Every time I look at this stuff, I can't help thinking that our political leaders in Congress and the bureaucrats at the FBI must be really envious of the kind of power states like Saudi Arabia and China have over their domestic populations, and would create such a system here if they could.
Leigh Rothschild, the troll in chief : https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigh-rothschild-bab450b/

Every once in a wile I get baffled by how american justice system is broken, lacks common sense and cannot be reformed. Aren't the judge able to spot such abusive and predatory patent trolls that attacks only small and weak companies that have no means to defend themselves?
Here where I live each time I discuss US justice system I get reminded of this probably false story of the woman that sued and won against a microwave company because they didn't state in the manual that you cant dry your pet in the microwave, and killed her dog or whatever.
Such inhuman system rewards just stupidity and greed.
Most journalists have the same path. Rich parents that can afford good schools and more importantly, internships unpaid in cities like new york.

So all your news is filtered mostly by the rich, hence the success of union busting in the minds of most Americans.
Yep I agree. However there seems to be more self-proclaimed “Ninja” programmers in the Ruby community than in others. Just my impression of course.
Part of why it is so common in English is not due to Jews, but rather the enduring influence of Christianity. The Jew vs Gentile distinction is historically important in Christianity, and plays a significant (albeit variable) role in many Christian theologies
It used to be excruciatingly hard. Now I just have a few themes I dip into and take a variation of.
Always the same arguments are used to justify invasion of privacy by governments: terrorism, pedo-pornography, human trafficking for sex (especially children).

Which are solid arguments but of course those laws are in 95% of the cases used for everything but the 3 reasonable causes mentioned.

Moreover, most of the time, the law grants access to police without decision by a judge, in the name of efficiency. In France, the proposal to trace what information is accessed by each policewoman or policeman has been rejected. So the misuses of the police databases are daily occurrences with total immunity.

Who knows what are the misuses of NSA databases in the US. I don't know at least but I don't think the Americans' privacy is an issue among NSA staff, nor for Congress. I may be totally wrong and would be happy to be enlightened on the matter.
Sorry it didn’t work as planned. Thank you for taking these steps, and for dealing with a difficult situation so gracefully.

I have Fastmail and Google email addresses which have been active for over ten years each. The Google account sees several emails bypassing the spam filter every day and, worse, several ham mail being flagged as spam each month. Fastmail, despite that address being more exposed (it's my own domain name which I have used for over twenty years) and having higher overall traffic, sees maybe one or two spam a day hitting my mailbox and only one or maybe two ham to spam a month. I don't get where Google reputation for good spam filtering comes from. It's barely passable when it comes to detecting spam AND ham mail.
Sorry, it's been 14 years.

Yep those are good examples of how not to do it. Games typically instead link in Lua or Python and get on with it. That’s a much better approach. Another good example is the Unity game engine, using C# as the scripting language and then compiling it to C++ for high performance. That works really well.
Following your links, I'm seeing topics like
"differentiate between needs and wants" and "what are taxes for."
Perhaps these classes are helpful to those
with a room-temperature IQ,
but I think that for college-bound students,
they're a waste of time.

My High School took the approach
of automatically signing everyone up for a personal finance class,
but letting anyone take something else if they talked to their counselor.
That way students who cared about learning actual academic subjects could do so,
but those who were most likely to need a class in personal finance
were still sorted into it by default.
That’s the problem: when people read it literally. Your comment is a perfect example of why the ancestor commenter tenses up.
A friend of mine is a young high-school history teacher who has lamented having to teach this class. Not because he feels it lacks value, but because he has little-to-no personal experience with some of the concepts he's teaching:

- broad investment options (stocks, bonds, indexes, etc)

- real estate

- managing risk / diversification

In this post tutorial, I will show you how you can build 5 Web Apps in 10 Hours. All of the web apps are part of the Frontend Mentor challenge projects and our goal is to make it look like the design given by the Frontend Mentor.
The color "keyboard" is way too esoteric for this to make any intuitive sense.

In Wordle one uses the alphabet as an input (things we know) to make up words as an output (things we also know). Here one is using colors we don't intuitively know to make up equally unexpected color answers which are waaaay too specific to be fun. 99.7% correct, JFC are you kidding me?

To solve the issue with the input, one could use primary, secondary and maybe tertiary colors + black / white / and no more than 2-3 shades of gray to come up with colors.

And the issue with outputs would also benefit from a reduced solution space. Wordle has 5-letter words instead of 20-letter words for a reason.

The concept is OK, but the execution left a bit to be desired.
How did you switch? I'd be interested in trying this on Ubuntu.
I'd be happy to debate science and religion, but I already did recently, and it would be off topic here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30826921

I suppose pro- or anti-religion isn't completely orthogonal to left vs right politics. Support for a dominant religion is more likely to be found on the right, as a means of social control.

A forum could be seen as left-leaning simply by having a policy that all contributors are equal and should be treated with respect. Desire for equality (of wealth and power) is pretty much the defining left-wing characteristic.
The two main problems with that are 1) caused by tipping in the US being awful and 2) it being patronizing.

We should fix tipping, and it's not inherently a problem to be patronizing to children.
"Gentile" derives from Latin gentilis, which itself derives from the Latin gens, meaning clan or tribe. [0]

I don't think you are in a position to get offended on this one. Doesn't seem to even be a Hebrew word.

A guess. I would guess chances are that someone with a philosophy degree has more options to begin with, and would more likely go lateral into some white collar office job than become destitute.

So, I'm not going to argue against more practical education in schools. But I think whenever personal finance education is brought up, the following needs to be understood:

You can't budget your way out of poverty if you have poverty wages.
I shared a password with my parents at the time. My wife and I stopped using Netflix entirely because of Cuties, and I think my parents also canceled.

This is quite interesting, at $work we use kafka and postgresql / other transactional databases. And we are probably over a man-millennia of work invested in making data consistent between the two. Given a lot of that is based on mindless "REST over Kafka"
Many years ago had a civics teacher who got a free instructional package from the IRS on how to fill out taxes. It was one of the most useful things we were taught that year. Also reminds me of practical skills I learned in a shop class. Basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, welding, power tool use, and small engine repair. All things that helped me live independently as an adult.
Cars are pretty different from how they were just twenty years ago. Different propulsion, different fuel, totally new driver assistance features and tons more software. That probably leads to the need for different talent.
Not to redirect the conversation too far, but this throws the religious dichotomy in which I was raised into sharp relief.

Specifically, I was raised Eastern Orthodox, and we hung out with SSPX (Traditional, Latin Mass, etc) Catholics. To an outsider, these may seem similar enough, but the debates we homeschooled kids got into were quite amazing.

The churches originally split due to an intentional mistranslation of the Nicene Creed, designating the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son, instead of from the Father alone, thus throwing off the balance of the Trinity.

Somehow, this led to us debating complex liturgical topics, which was driven by Catholics having a small-t talmudic system of canon law, which requires legal scholars to properly interpret, while the Orthodox, although having Canon Law to a lesser extent, mostly rely on "Economia", which roughly translates to "Stop thinking about stupid questions and pray more".

I specifically recall a debate over the proper method of Communion in which one of the Catholic kids asked "But what if there was no wine left in the world, what then?".

The answer actually did exist in Catholic Canon Law somewhere, but I can't remember it, and the Orthodox answer was "Make some".

Just an anecdote that some may find familiar if you like the OP.
I learned about Ponzi schemes in US government in middle school in VA in about 2000.
It doesn't overlap 100%, but I'd strongly recommend you first find out if Vector (https://vector.dev/) fits your needs. Unlike beats, it supports 45 different "sinks" (destinations) and the documentation is something to aspire to.

Vector is focused on input -> transform -> output, so to get the Beats experience, you need to supplement it with things like Prometheus Node Exporter and such.

I was initially pretty unhappy about their introduction of a new DSL (named Vector Remap Language) which replaced their LUA transformer - because who needs to learn another DSL? But it's straightforward and has simplified a lot of our ingestion pipeline.

On one hand, I'm in favor of this. On the other, I suspect it'll be as effective as civics and government classes.
The picture I saw I assumed it was two ramp escalators and one stair stepped escalator.
Nobody is being "politically excluded", they just don't want to live in SF or NYC.
I think Fedora is way underrated. They let Gnome do it’s thing in terms of the look and feel, and focus on bringing other tech into the desktop fold. They did this with Wayland, Flatpak and Pipewire, bringing them into a major stable distribution before any other equivalent distro did.

And personally, I think Gnome is absolutely awesome. If Desktop Linux has any hope of succeeding, it needs exactly what Gnome is doing. A stable UI API that developers can develop apps towards.

Gnome devs got so much flak for getting rid of theming/customization (they haven’t gotten rid of it, but they’ve made it much harder by default), but the reality is that it’s what’s made it possible for Gnome to implement real Dark mode so effectively.

I just updated my Ubuntu to 22.04 and absolutely love all that Gnome has brought to the table (sure Ubuntu added accent colors, but Gnome will likely get that within months).

I think the Fedora + Gnome combo is just brilliant and will potentially make the year of Linux on the Desktop actually achievable.
You might be interested to learn about the MMTk [1, 2] project which aspires to be a language agnostic library for garbage collection. It was used by the LXR authors [3] to develop a GC that beat production OpenJDK 11 collectors in throughput and latency. I believe they have work on a bunch of bindings to other VMs underway as well such as V8 (JavaScript), MRI (Ruby), Julia, GHC (Haskell), and PyPy (Python)!

I appreciate the reminder -thanks!
Apparently HN readers are unaware that personal finance courses like this are useless. There has been decades of research showing unequivocally that they don't work.

Virtually no current financial education researcher thinks they accomplish anything.

The problem is they, like all education, doesn't stick unless it is immediately and repeatedly put into practice. High schoolers are simply the wrong audience for this.

This is a feel good measure, nothing more.

Current state of the art favors just in time education on specific topics as they arise.
Indoctrination from birth is a powerful thing. Couple that with isolation from softcore cultism and it's not trivial to break out of. Thankfully public schools with a lot of patient teachers, curiosity, and some luck broke the cycle.
Who specifically are the “right people” in your scenario? VCs or decision makers at some business?
But if that's the problem, then that insight doesn't do anything to keep them from overeating candy, it just assigns blame. And it doesn't really work as advice to new parents except to say "be more perfect!"
It really feels hopeless right now trying to get a 4GB model. It actually came back in stock for me at adafruit and I even had one in my cart! But alas they required me to enable 2-factor which holds back tear required me to log out and log back in and it was gone.

I notice even old models are hard to get, like the zero W.
Roblox. Everything is free including a nice visual IDE. There's lots of documentation and lots of 3rd party education. It's LUA. Best of all, unlike all the other alternatives, there's no configuration or setup beyond installing Roblox and Roblox Studio, the IDE. There's also a chance to make money on the Roblox platform.

A unit explaining some common financial scams, and how to recognize and avoid them, would be excellent to include.

For example: Check cashing scams are extremely common, and can be financially ruinous. Many of these scams could be avoided if students knew that checks take time to clear, and were warned to be extremely suspicious of requests to spend or give away money from a check that might not have cleared.

This is a pretty standard film criticism- you can't make a movie about something bad without glorifying it. Scorcese comes in for that a lot, Fight Club, people reading or watching Liar's Poker and feeling inspired, the list goes on.
Wow, that sounds really exciting. How would this work for something like a service that runs for a long time, and periodically needs to make a web request (and therefore periodically opens a TCP socket)?

Are you counting the ability itself to open sockets as a "file descriptor"? Is it straightforward to implement a "namespace" (not sure if I'm using that correctly) that limits network access to certain IP addresses? Certain domains?
The feature is more commonly abused (on reddit) as an aggressive tactic by abusers. The person being "blocked" tends to be the target of abuse. This is because of some really bizarre oversights in how the feature was implemented:

Once you have been blocked, you cannot block back (because reddit no longer shows the user who blocked you as existing, while you're logged in). So if you want to harass someone, the best thing to do is to create an account and block them immediately.

Not only can a blocked person not respond to a blocker's comment or post, but they also cannot respond to any descendent of said post. Thus, on a small subreddit, or on popular posts in a large one, it's possible for a blocking peer to essentially "ban" you from the conversation at large.

By repeating this technique in the same subreddit, it's possible to gradually manufacture false consensus by preemptively silencing folks who would disagree with you. This user did an excellent study/proof when the new feature was launched:

>> - Forbids strong encryption at rest. Failing to cooperate in decryption can also yield imprisonment.

> What the fuck?

I mean, Britain already has the second part, and in France failing to cooperate in decryption of your own stuff is an aggravating circumstance (but at least not a separate offense if you otherwise haven’t or can’t be proven to have done anything wrong).

(It’s still extremely short-sighted, just pointing out where the Overton window is at.)
you've now moved the goalpost quite far from where we started

I don't follow. You weren't familiar with the rules of HN dupery and I've tried to explain them. That's not moving the goalposts. Followups are almost always dupes. Metaish follow-ups the very next day dupely so.
Whenever one finds an absurd "rule", there is, generally, a reason. You don't put up a sign that says "Don't stick utensils in electrical sockets" until someone's done it or thought about it.

And if the rule is "don't juggle forks while riding a unicycle around electrical outlets", it's usually because someone lied about what happened.

> Rabba said: One who fell from a roof and was inserted into a woman due to the force of his fall is liable to pay four of the five types of indemnity that must be paid by one who damaged another, and if she is his yevama he has not acquired her in this manner. He is liable to pay for injury, pain, loss of livelihood, and medical costs. However, he is not liable to pay for the shame he caused her, as the Master said: One is not liable to pay for shame unless he intends to humiliate his victim…

This is a description of a rape, and the person who committed it came up with a story to explain it away, and the Talmud has codified this excuse as justifying a modest penalty, and it's recorded in such a way that others may use it. "Ah, sorry [your honor or equivalent], I fell off a roof, you see, and ...". Awful.

The only thing one should learn from this is that the Talmud can be wrong, that sometimes, people lie and cover up their crimes, and that whoever recorded this case abetted the criminal. That's wrong and we should do better.
Halfway through the post I concluded what you did at the end.

I'm not sure if it's feasible given your current situation, but moving to another team will probably make you feel more engaged/fulfilled at work. You sound proactive and you care about doing a good job, a team where you're the only one with that attitude is only going to bring you down.

You could switch teams or just go to another company.

Honestly this is the bank's fault. The bank should not give money for the check unless everything is alright. Or if it gives money, it should also give a warning or something. You can't expect customers to know all the quirks.
