Yes, plastic that contains food needs to be washed before recycling. I wash our yogurt containers, and the plastic fruit cups from my kid, and a dozen other things.

The real tragedy in my mind is that cleaned plastics might not make a difference anyway - because it turns out plastic isn’t very recyclable to begin with and it doesn’t recycle well anyway.

It is possible to avoid a lot of plastics, but it often means changing one’s lifestyle. There are a few places you can take your own containers and fill up from bulk bins. Whole Foods, for instance, sell some items in glass rather than plastic.

I've not seen this debate contextualized that way. Is it predominately ivy league grads calling to have their debt canceled? If so, I think that really ought to be highlighted.
recycling economics is largely a product of material value, homogeneity, and technical feasibility. Look at some classic examples:

Steel: high value, reasonably homogeneous, easier than raw ore --> almost all get recycled.

Paper: low value, moderately homogenous (different fibre lengths can't easily be separated), quite feasible but results in lower quality of material than inputs.

Plastic: low value, very heterogenous, complex organic chemistry means significant manual segregating of inputs is needed making financials not work.

Lithium: Very high value, reasonably homogeneous, technical details not fully worked out but I expect low difficulty - no complex long chain organic compounds to worry about maintaining.
I find this "whole generation of people who were encouraged into predatory tuition & loan combos" thing to be incredibly unconvincing. College tuition rates started skyrocketing largely AFTER Google became a thing. There's no excuse for refusing to put in the research into wages and how long it would take to pay off these loans.

There were decades of people before internet searches were available who decided to prioritize a lack of debt over going to the absolute best school they could. The most expensive school any of my classmates went to was Tulane, and the kids who went there almost all went on GI bills. Now, across the river, where the people were more affluent... those folks definitely spent more money on their college educations. Can't say I've seen their investments reflected on their Linkedin profiles, though.

I assume you are making a fine distinction between straight handing down user identifying private information, and providing special access to targeted users that will only hit the advertiser in full as they hit the ad.

Technically and legally both are different, but I still see both as funnelling data to advertisers.
I'm a prof, and I would take a pay cut to work at a such a place. The waste at my institution is sickening.
Which just supports the point that the stereotype doesn't hold up, and only serves to discourage and exclude capable people who may already have impostor-syndrome.

Often an intuition as to whether a particular comment is a paid shill is inaccurate, but one cannot deny that there are clear trends that indicate that paid shilling is occurring in general for a particular topic or organization. There are swarms of posts and comments with the same talking points that you find on the company's website, small subreddits in support of them that have no real reason to exist other than as aggregators of talking points, and an exaggerated responses to seemingly non-controversial statements that go against the company.

It's not some lizard man conspiracy that bot nets and sock puppet accounts exist. In fact they are a pretty standard MO on the internet.
They’re about as far from being Stepwise as possible :(
Pretty well, I'd assume. Antivax sentiments have never been as widespread and mainstream than they are right now.
We will go back to cheap college when that is what students and their families choose cheap schools over expensive ones. Hint: They don’t. They won’t.

Community colleges have seen the largest enrollment drops, followed by public 4 year. Private colleges that lower their tuition, counterintuitively, almost always see a drop in applicants the following year.
Expect them to increase more if the government tries to waive off student loans. The universities have no incentive to reduce tuition if they know that the taxpayer will pick up the tab in a few years once the student is unable to pay back his loans.
For as long as it takes them to pay their debt? What part of the "you can't discharge this via bankruptcy, and you're actually going to be an ENGLISH major" do you think tripped them up?
Maybe say so plainly rather than faking at playing dumb?

What you're assuming was meant wasn't actually said either. Make your case. Make well. Make it clearly and forcefully but please don't go in for those kind of hollywood-drama-style courtroom argument tricks, it's not helpful to any given discussion.

Where have you been? Lithium ion battery capacities have steadily increased every year over the last decade. And NiMH cells have really gotten really good, especially the ones coming out of FDK Corporation in Japan. Batteries are definitely evolving. But focus has been on 18650 cells, Tesla pushed capacities forward and has since adopted a new format, 4680 or 46800, so now expect capacity advances for those sized cells.

Excuse me, but one of those things is actually providing data to advertisers, and one of them clearly, legally, and functionally is _not._ You don’t get your own set of facts just because you irrationally hate Google.
I'd like to see a $30 pen tablet, similar to the Boogie board but better designed and with the ability to export documents. Then I could put one every place I have scraps of paper for notes or notebooks and be able to collect everything I write into a digital form (ideally automatically and wirelessly). A $500 pen tablet just does not work for this, it would cost too much to have 10 tablets around the house. Basically a Boogie board plus an ESP32 and a little storage with some well written software. Even $50 would be acceptable, $100 might be too much.
Students aren't going to BU for the professors and the administration knows that. Most are just their to get the piece of paper from a prestigious institution.

This sort of behaviour is why “money lenders” became a pejorative term.
The real evil is always in not asking and not thinking about the meaning of the work.

If you work at a company because it has a great engineering culture, but the work it happens to make it super efficient to turn babies into cowfeed, you’re still evil…for not thinking about the meaning of what you do.

If you work at a company because it has an awesome engineering culture, and the work is to make it really easy and efficient for other companies to do whatever they do, how do you assess (and take responsibility) for your work? Can you? If you can’t, what are you doing?

If you work in the cloud, this is you.
>This is almost the opposite of Christianity,

I'm fine with the federal government servicing 100% of student debt and for that debt to be completely interest free.

But that's as far as I'm willing to go on the issue. If it were up to me, I'd have the feds regulate university expenditures the same way that they regulate insurance companies. You get X% of tuition and fees to go towards construction, overhead, and administration. Everything else is for educator salaries.
The most likely reason that these tuition costs go so high is because the government is basically willing to give as much money as is needed to get them there. Over the past 50 years, for every dollar given by the government in funding average tuition increased next year by $0.60 [1].

The trouble is, if you take away the student loans the cost of tuition will drop but a lot fewer people will be able to go.

I'm googling around as well, and they seem to be an umbrella for a large number of publications. I just can't believe that every iota of information under their purview is of perfect veracity, regardless of their level of rigor and process. No entity is that perfect.
I still don't quite understand the value of tmux, at least on a modern machine. If I need another terminal, I just pop open another terminal window and tile or tab it. If I want to keep a set of terminals organized, I use workspaces (at the OS level).

I can obviously see its value if there is no window manager or desktop environment on the system I'm using, but that's rare these days–if I'm working on a system with neither of these it's always over ssh. With a WM or DE it seems like tmux just adds a redundant layer of organization. What am I missing?
I'm surprised. This is a cool truck. Trucks hardly get any mention in safety discussions but seeing the visibility differences here its quite astounding how much they were able to improve it.

I wonder if it would make sense to mandate new ICE trucks to have the engine positioned behind the cab rather than under it to get these same improvements on non electric trucks.
One of the other responses mentioned Nushell, which is a direct substitute for PowerShell in a meaningful sense: an interactive shell, structured pipelines, formatting as the final step of a pipeline, etc...

Anything else tends to be either a random bag of unrelated tools sticky-taped together, OR a heavyweight programming language.

The equivalent of JavaScript or Python is C#, CS-Script, or F# Interactive. Those are also full-featured programming languages.

I can process files in just a couple of lines of C#, but I still reach for PowerShell when doing this kind of thing unless I really need higher throughputs or complex processing.
a sibling comment suggests a reason:

> the local tmux then remembers history and allows looking up commands on the remote shell, that would be huge.
Hah, everything is the government and government is bad when people want it to be. The government is the thing that makes bankruptcy possible in the first place, and if it didn't exist you'd just have someone hunt you down for repayment and torture you until you comply.

Cancelling student debt would only be rewarding irresponsible behavior of the US government by relieving the pressure to change how loans are issued in the first place. The news/ press would mostly stop reporting about it once the initial loans are forgiven since there'd be no pressure anymore to fix the root of the problem which is issuing non-dischargeable unsecured loans in the 10s of to 100s of thousands of dollars. The US allowed those non-dischargeable loans to be issued in the first place with little to no way of knowing if the value provided by the student's desired educational program justified the price it was billing. Students may bare some responsibility here but expecting all 18 year olds who have gone through the traditional US education system to have any resemblance of financial literacy is asking a lot given there seems to be no focus on requiring income management, retirement savings, and debt awareness classes in any US High School tract.

What I'm trying to say ultimately is in my opinion most High School graduates are to naive to actually realize how bad of deal they may be getting themselves into and the US government is actively encouraging that reckless behavior by allowing these federal loans to be issued.
I won’t share my class year, but the tuition definitely spiked towards the end.
I can't comment on what's "typical", but I have known people who went to a Christian college while being atheist themselves, purely on the basis of it having a good program for the degree they wanted.
This is strange and funny to read; the only two DBAs I’ve worked with matched this description perfectly.

The first guy was so irate and literally yelling about his entitlement to punish us for making bad architectural decisions that I thought he was joking. I just laughed, but he got angrier. Then it clicked after maybe five or ten seconds – he was in the process of verbally punishing us for querying the database too much.

The second guy was similar, but didn’t yell. Still super protective of his domain, almost antagonistic about us integrating with the database at all.

Both brilliant, taught me more than I can recount here, hilarious and interesting… But total jerks too, and both let go more or less for that reason.

One they had a great system in place and the product felt mature, the companies axed them.
Do you want to expound on this? "squeaky clean" is a subjective value judgement of little value, and I can list dozens of heavily corrupt individuals from "prestigious institutions".
Your last paragraph is why I got rid of Spotify. I like music to move me. It was amazing how I could start a run of upbeat, pumping, specifically chosen songs and then have the recommendation engine suggest 30 minutes of cruisy blandness..

I simply gave up on it. Why have access to everything when I only got the crap. Going back to my personal collection increased my good/bad song ratio considerably.

Maybe after a certain time period but what’s to stop people from declaring bankruptcy immediately after finishing a degree and before working. It’s hard to have a loan backed by no asset that’s dischargeable in bankruptcy and given to people with more debts than assets.
That hasn't changed, but what perhaps has is that 1) social media and fast fashion have created even more demand for the latest clothes, and 2) every clothing retailer prominently displays "buy now pay later" options, something that only existed through credit cards when I was a kid.

Seems off. I used a higher income with sibling and it estimated $13k family contribution via IM formula. That was close to BU’s own calculator, which suggested a $17k combination of loans and family contributions, forgiving roughly $60k via needs.

FM estimated twice IM which I take to mean BU uses IM.
I've worked with many bootcampers and all but one have been fantastic. And the one wasn't bad because of arrogance or deception; they were a super nice person with plenty of integrity. They were bad at their job because they simply had no feel for programming, and would have been just as bad if they'd had a CS degree.

Bootcamps are like anything: you get out what you put in. They are a(n often effective!) way of learning a skill. If there's a problem, it's with tech hiring and its ability to accurately evaluate candidates. But that's an intrinsically hard task, and I don't know if there's a real solution (and the inaccuracy cuts both ways, and affects everyone, regardless of where they learned to code).

Stop inflating your own narrow experience and projecting it onto a huge swath of people. Pushing stereotypes is harmful.
Your kid is perfectly capable of taking out their own loans. One of the big problems with US schooling is that schools just expect parents to pay for their kids' schooling. They're adults. They can fund their own educations.

What happened in Sri Lanka was that the government ran out of foreign exchange and was desperate for something to cut.

So they basically pissed in the air and told everyone it was raining ("great news: you're all organic farmers now"). It was a desperate move, backed by magical thinking - a failed attempt at reality distortion.

This is not really the way any sane government would organise a transition to organic farming practices. You'd do studies, start small, give people time to adapt. Not announce out of the blue that you've banned all chemical fertiliser and pesticide imports.

Seem to be a lot of pundits out there trying to make what happened in Sri Lanka a story about organic farming - eh maybe, maybe not. It seems more like a story about poor governance and predatory international lending.
When I was young I didn't realize what I'm working is bullshit. I thought it's the coolest shit in the world. I used to be excited about new technologies. Now when I hear about "new technology" I just roll my eyes, because in %99.99 of the cases, this "new technology" is anything but. It's just a permutation of an existing tech with trivial differences that I'm interested in learning.
State school was a great decision. Still working for top tech now. Pretty much everyone I know who went to a state school is doing fine
Mindfulness is something that emerges as a side-effect from meditation. Not something that you actively aim for. I'm going to have a lot of trouble putting it into words, since this is something I got from culture, and not from specific words. Bear with me.

Here is how it feels: the brain experiences stuff "objectively".

For example: if something happens and you get angry, instead of fully being angry, you get to see that you are angry. And now you get the choice to be angry or not. Or sometimes you don't get a choice, but can clearly see it and realize that it's something you have to go through. There emerges a clear separation between your brain, your emotions and the core you.

It's not something you do consciously, it's something that your brain does by itself all the time. Like fish noticing water. Things don't really change, but you get a perception to notice and see things.

An analogy I like to use is: You are playing a 2d game. Your character exists in a 2d world. But your perspective is 3d and can clearly see what's happening.

--------

P.S.

Since you seem to be curious, keep in mind that meditation is serious stuff and needs to be given respect. Using meditation for just feeling good is like using a gun to dig a hole. Can you do it? yeah. But without gun discipline, you may end up shooting yourself in the foot.

Meditation is a tool. It exists safely only within a larger ecosystem of other things. Prescribing meditation openly without the ecosystem is dangerous.

Once mindfulness comes, the problems get more and more subtle.
