The main point is that farm labor lacks the wage protections of almost any other business (except tip-driven ones).
Yeah, this is largely true. Teaching-focused career paths in California Higher-Ed would be at Cal State or the Community Colleges. UC is about research, and expects all faculty to focus on research, although there are some continuing lecturer positions here and there.
Suggestions:

1. Make colleges fund student loans instead of government. That gives them the incentive to make sure students graduate with credentials that allow them to get a job and pay back the loan.

2. If students didn't graduate, or graduated with a degree they can't use, let them go back to the school they already paid tuition to at no cost to get a different degree. And no, the government doesn't pay the school for this - they were already paid once. If schools say they'd go bankrupt, fine - let them. They can either trim the fat off their administrative staff or close. If a school closes, make it like an FDIC bank where the student gets to go to some other school to finish their degree.

Just wiping out student debt is probably the worst possible solution.
High schools in general do an extremely poor job at teaching financial literacy. The only education I had on the cost of debt and the time value of money were incidental story problems in math classes. The strangely named "home economics" classes were all about cooking and nutrition and sewing, not about buying vs. renting a house or buying a new vs. used car vs. leasing, or saving for retirement or emergencies.

It's no wonder many young people have no idea what a burden debt can be.

I don't agree at all. Perhaps you might need to spend less time reading news and social media? The real people in my real life all get along, even the MAGA and socialist people.

Anyway, I'm here because this is the closest thing to "You are the average of your closest five [highly-technical] friends." I don't really know a lot of high-tier, highly-technical people in meatspace.

The existing "as" would have worked instead of walrus. I've never seen anyone use the additional flexibility that walrus affords because the code becomes too complicated and better at that point to just use two lines.
Rainwater isn't the only form of water, farmers in Iowa pump groundwater too, and those aquifers are becoming seriously depleted in a lot of the plains states. This is causing pretty serious drops in groundwater levels in a lot of areas and won't be sustainable indefinitely.

The spending all the money you have so that you don't lose it is a problem actually created by anti-corruption bureaucracy, and is very common in government funded areas.

The problem is that in an effort to avoid being wasteful, the bureaucracy aggressively tracks money spent, and forces a return of unused funds. This in turn disincentivizes saving because there is literally no benefit to spending efficiently or saving money for rough times, because those short term savings are immediately vacuumed back up by the higher level bureacracy.

Blaming student services departments for overspending is missing the root of the problem. I've seen the exact same issues in STEM research institutions.
> There's already half a dozen Rivian R1Ts, despite the local 3-ton weight limits.

> 14.56.070 A. It is unlawful for any person to operate any commercial vehicle exceeding three tons gross vehicle weight on the following portions of streets, hereafter referred to as "restricted streets"

I think you probably meant 14.56.050, which restricts vehicles over 5 tons from traveling on 5 streets. The law you cited is for commercial vehicles only and has a litany of exceptions but would permit the Rivian for personal use.
It's not all doomsday prepper marketing. Adding Vehicle to Load (V2L) or Vehicle to Grid (V2G) is not a huge increase in BoM.

The F-150 already has multiple AC outlets in it, in a pinch you could just carry your fridge next to it and plug it in :)

This is just Ford doing a proprietary charger that can automate switching from grid to V2G mode if the grid goes down.
The Monty Hall problem has a simple resolution. At the beginning you had a 1/3 chance of picking the good door, and 2/3 chance of picking a bad door, meaning you probably picked a bad door at the start, so you should switch.
I think it's fair that people value different things. BUT my point is that we shouldn't assume everyone needs to live in the same location to obtain their wants.

> An amenity I need that I definitely would not be able to get in a small town would be access to a Chinese grocer. As someone who is ethnic Chinese, I have recipes that need ingredients that either aren't normally found in regular US markets or are available in poor quality and at higher prices. Delivery of niche goods is astronomically expensive. That limits me to a few major cities.

I live near a town of 15,000 people, they have a Chinese grocer, multiple Mexican grocers, an African grocer and several home style greek restaurants, thai restaurants, some great sushi, etc.

The U.S. is very diverse and there are different people everywhere. Like I said, I can drive 40 min and be in a multi-million person city while still living out in the country. When I lived in SF it would still take me 30-60 min to get to many places via public transit.

I guess if you really need "high quality" niche goods, sure... But I've never had an issue lol
Some people have far more than $100k in debt, so the tradeoff might be far more attractive.

If you're finishing undergrad at 22, your bankruptcy won't harm you for buying a house at 29-30 which is kind of when you want to buy a house anyways since saving up 25% takes a good amount of time. It seems like a very worthwhile trade to declare bankruptcy.

As for being allowed to declare, the time to do it is before you have a job. At this point you have debt higher than assets and no income so the case for bankruptcy is extremely clear.

It's a personal preference.

When I'm onboarding on a huge code base, someone from the frontend reports a bug, I'm like "ok so where does this URL go?", I open the urls.py (which can be split with include), and from there I navigate to the relevant piece of code quite easily.

But with routes as decorators, you need to know the structure of the code beforehand. Which can take some time if you're onboarding a new project.

IMHO, having the route next to the code managing the request does not add useful information to the code being modified.

Also, thanks to django-flags (a feature flag django extension), I can easily enable/disable routes with feature flags in the urls.py without overwhelming the "request handler" with irrelevant information.

But that's only a personal preference.
Carlin tips, part 2: Challenge everything. Reinvent yourself. Look closely at language. Pay attention to rhythm. Embrace aging. And lots more.
Which languages are you familiar with? I can potentially give examples in those.
Any system, however complex, can be designed as a bunch of "I/O devices" with abstraction layers. The trick is to keep each abstraction layer simple enough so that you can hold it in your mind (or fit a piece of paper). With this approach any kind of visualisations tool would work just fine - from a piece of paper to tools like Ilograph. I personally prefer excalidraw.

Sure, and so are houses with white picket fences and town houses. What's your point?

You can't really find any examples measured in a vacuum. But I guess you've already made up your mind anyway.
> So, is it a good idea to try documenting the code design through some sort of visualization?

Yes, if it helps you understand how it works and how the pieces fit together.

No, if the previous is not all that useful for you (different types of learners), or you need to spend significant amounts of time doing it manually, especially given that code could change.

If you can, look into any tool that might allow you to get visualizations in an automated manner.

For example, JetBrains IDEs have a few different graph visualizations for dependencies and inheritance etc.: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2022.1/tests-in-ide.html...

There also used to be SourceTrail, though sadly the project is now retired: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

For databases, you can also use external tools like DbVis: https://www.dbvis.com/features/

There are also a few tools here and there for visualizing networks or how container deployments look, but those are pretty situational/specific for each platform/setup.
This is a weird take. There are so many things behind the scenes to say anything conclusively. Different compute loads, different problem domains, different accuracy and predictability requirements, etc.

Cynicism is unwarranted, but it fits the current zeitgeist, biases and feels good.

Your general question is fair, but your math is wrong which exaggerates the difference.

10 Powerwalls: 140 kWh / $110k = 1.27 Wh/$ 1

40k truck: 98 kWh / $40k = 2.45 Wh/$

72.5k truck: 131 kWh / $72.5k = 1.81 Wh/$

That said, I would speculate the that base model is effectively being subsidized by the marketing team. Saying it "starts at under $40k" sounds a lot better than "starts at under $73k". Ford simply won't produce that model in high quantities and they also know people generally won't be buying the base model anyway.

Yes, I am not sure why someone would roll their own protocol when ZMODEM was available and solved most of XMODEM's problems. I was forced to use XMODEM back in the day (because ZMODEM did not exist yet), but as soon as the ZMODEM spec was published in 1988, everyone moved to it and XMODEM became obsolete almost instantly.
yeah pretty much. programmable digital is already niche and it's made of the same types of components repeated: NAND gates.... or similar combined into cells... analog circuits generally have much higher diversity of components.... caps, resistors, and inductors can easily vary 1e3 to 1e6 times in size. component interconnects are more more diverse... e.g. where digital is usually a flow of data from on port to another, analog has many more feedback points.

Another issue is that analog is typically used in media where they can interfere with other systems if misconfigured. e.g. radio systems or other networks. whereas digital can more or less apply to system like math or seraching or database, where errors won't throw everyon eelse of the network.

These aren't unsolvable problems, but they probably mean poor utilization of space on a die. and since like I said, programmmable digital is inefficient enough, analog will be less so. :(

That being said, there are some possibly applications where I'd like to see analog such as motor controllers and SEPIC regulators. Advantages here would be less RF, less CPU power, and less time programming precise timing.

Kids These Days have no idea how important this was. Loading a 100kB JPEG over a 14.4K dial-up connection took about a minute.

As the image crawled into view, you’d hope the top slice of the image would reveal whether it’s worth waiting for or if you should move on. Progressive JPEG was invented to solve this frustration, but it wasn’t always a great improvement when you were staring at a blobby first-pass rendering of the image trying to guess what it might be.

I don't understand why series hybrids didn't catch on. They were a complete no-brainer to me (not a car engineer though).

With a regular hybrid you need to have complex clutch arrangements to transfer power from two engines to the wheels simultaneously.

In a series hybrid you'd have a fully electric drivetrain and a fuel powered generator, that could always run at optimal efficiency.
>Hydroponics are limited to low-calorie foods such as lettuce, herbs, spinach etc due to constraints in the method itself.

Why do you say that? Hydroponic setups often produce tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, strawberries, etc are all quite popular.

https://www.biotecharticles.com/Agriculture-Article/Hydropon...

>High calorie and/or high fiber foods require complex rhizospheres which is currently only found in healthy soil.

Mainly root veggies or large things that are unruly like a watermelon. More of a practicality problem. I have been eyeing that root veg drip hydroponic system. You can absolutely grow all the foods hydroponically. Not sure about those rhizospheres.

>To add injury, the substrate used to provide nutrients to hydroponic plants either require petrochemicals or other plant material (compost, husks, seeds...) to mimic a complete nutrient profile.

This hasn't been true for decades. I think you touched on the real big problem "petrochemicals". Oh ya we just found the problem.

I have a degree in cultural anthropology and graduated in the mid-aughts. I remember several conversations about working at a university with my advisor. He basically told me not to, or do so very sparingly in order to have some income when you run into lean times with your research money.

Said he tries to keep people from getting pulled into the academia meat grinder. The politics, the intense competition for research grants, constantly fighting for tenure, the lack of support in their research - he didn't see it as a worthwhile pursuit compared to going after outside, private research money or working instead in the corporate world.

I could tell he was pretty jaded, but out of the five professors in the department, only one encouraged me to stay at the university and pursue a career in academia. Considering where academia has gone since then, I'm pretty happy I took their advice.

> Serious question, why?

You're not very serious if you don't realize that this is an extraordinarily privileged position based on your position in the socioeconomic ladder.

> I'm currently living a fair distance from any major city and can still get literally anything I can imagine delivered. It's cheaper, taxes are cheaper, food is cheaper, fuel is cheaper,

It's cheaper FOR YOU based on your job that you can do remotely, and comparing to the lifestyle you maintained in San Francisco.

Do you seriously believe that every janitor, parking lot attendant, nurse, and waiter, could move to the small town you are discussing and commute in for work? Here's a headline for you: "A 2:15 Alarm, 2 Trains and a Bus Get Her to Work by 7 A.M.

> San Francisco is fairly dystopian. I used to live there, walking over human waste, people getting head in the street. Naked women rolling around after a bender, a persons leg rotting off. This was my daily walk through SF to work. Now, I see cows, sit in the grass and still make more money and am away from the tragedy.

You're so close

> taxes are cheaper

But so far.

The reason why your new area doesn't have any people with drug, mental health and poverty issue is because you don't pay enough taxes for the social programs that allow these people to survive in San Francisco. Which, like Seattle, Vancouver, and LA tend to concentrate human misery in North American not because they attract misery but because they're the only places on the continent where these human beings can SURVIVE. Homeless people struggle to not die in the winter in most of the East. The Deep south has no social programs or jobs. Once you get to the SouthWest, the local policies is just to put homeless people on the bus to California.

Which is where everyone - from homeless to billionaire - has the best outcomes for health and life expectancy.

Yes, one way of dealing with human misery, is to be able to afford to put it out of your sight and out of mind, and not deal with the structural issues that create them. It's great that you get to ignore them to live your best life.

But don't think that a society can be created where those things don't exist, just by moving to a more pastoral/agrarian lifestyle. What you describe is not scalable to the rest of society without massive social programs the kind that don't exist across America (and likely never will)

There was a point as a teenager where getting hardware flow control working on my modem ranked among my achievements in life (high cost, high reward).

When I found out the Arduino had no wires for FC, I practically had a histamine reaction. That killed the Arduino for me, which was too bad because I had ideas about creating something information radiators for developers and ended up with a box of parts I never touched again. And Raspberry Pi had the same issue, and although having Ethernet made that less of a problem, it didn't fix the problem I was trying to solve (how do I run a device in an organization that doesn't allow BYOD on their networks?)

If you measure the capital returns of housing as buying a property and letting it sit empty it doesn't beat the market. But renting a property returns roughly 6% of capital in most markets, and Canada-wide housing prices have gone up 7.5% a year over the last 20 years. Even if it costs you 2.5% of the home price to rent the property (this is a high estimate) that suggests making 11%/year over the last 20 years. If you go back longer, the capital curve for housing gets slightly lower and you might eventually get only 9% returns counting capital income and rental income. But markets still haven't returned 9%/year.

I appreciate this article bacause this is an important distinction to make. In fact, it is so important that I am willing to rewrite code in order to know the names and contact information of all of the people that my dependencies depend on, as well as having some sort of professional relationship with them.

For example, in a project I am working on, I need a database, a way to talk over the Internet, and cryptography. Obviously, I know what database to use: SQLite (D. Richard Hipp). Obviously, I know what dependency to use for talking over the Internet: curl (Daniel Stenberg).

Cryptography is harder, but I finally settled on BearSSL (Thomas Pornin). BearSSL does not give me everything I want, however; since I want OPAQUE (a way for clients to not give their password to a potentially malicious server), I need that. BearSSL also does not give me a "KSF," or key-stretching function, which OPAQUE requires, though I can use Argon2i for that.

The reference implementation for Argon2i unfortunately seems dead, even though I know the names of the people who made it. I don't know if they will respond if I contact them, while I do know that D. Richard Hipp, Daniel Stenberg, and Thomas Pornin will respond. So in order to make sure I always have a point of contact with all of my dependencies, I am going to write Argon2i, BLAKE2b (needed by Argon2i), and OPAQUE myself.

Bad idea? Yeah, don't roll your own crypto. But I am studying hard, and I intend to get my crypto audited before publishing.

The end result, however, is very worth it: my dependencies will be well-known, and I know each of the authors personally, albeit through email.

And down the road, if I manage to make some money, I can kick some of it back to them in exchange for their previous help. In turn, they'll be happy to continue the relationship.

That's how Open Source works at its best: it depends on relationships, and on giving back to those relationships. I think that that is what this article is trying to say, and I whole-heartedly agree.
I think the metaphor works in a sense.

The issue with your landing page is that it comes off as “designery” while at the same time not showing the polish that an actual designer would produce.
