> Ms Schaede suggests that quota men may simply have been better at the job than marginal women. Male and female teachers differ. Men were more likely to speak Finnish as their mother tongue and to have studied mathematics. Perhaps these or other characteristics helped their teaching.

> In other words, the selection criteria for teachers may have elevated candidates who were less suitable—exactly the outcome critics of quotas fear.

I don't understand this second paragraph. If men are better at the job and the quota elevated men, how can you conclude that "the selection criteria for teachers may have elevated candidates who were less suitable"?

> For smallish scripts, I really like Ruby's backticks for easily executing shell commands.

Executing external commands is pretty convenient in Python these days, now that we have subprocess.run [1], and passing the command as a list rather than through the shell seems a lot safer.

Doesn't backticks open up the classic command injection issues (i.e. the same kind problem as SQL injection with non-parameterized queries) unless you're extremely careful to manually apply proper quoting in every single case?

For many of you, some older and some those who did not get into street music, the cultural event that ended the concept of "selling out" was hip hop artists declaring "selling out" to be white establishment propaganda, and "getting paid" is all that matters anymore. The 90's street music was all about "getting paid" and quite elaborate examinations of how the negative attitude toward "selling out" was the establishment suppressing the voices of the street.
If the real estate market is near a local maximum, then rent is still a better deal, for now, with your numbers. Upkeep, hoa fees, insurance on an apartment very likely sum to more than €124/mo. That said, of course, if the real estate market is still going to grow by a significant percent, and you time selling correctly, then you could make money by owning.

The dub is horrible. Why dubbers use these inexpressive and "cartoonish" voices? And why the exaggerated accents?
Exactly, hence why Rust's killer use cases are scenarios where having a GC is a no go option.

Yeah, it totally did. Ever since the 90s. The majority of the mainstream youth don't even understand the concept.
I'm curious, which more compact format would you use? Because I have looked a bit and been unable to find one, both MessgePack and CBOR produce pretty large objects. CBOR with the string reference extension comes closer, but it's still bigger, and string references don't seem very well supported in the CBOR ecosystem.

Do you mean you'd use a format with a schema?
Is there a reliable source that tells what the current recommended way of doing this in Python is?

I’ve been using Anaconda and been finding that it install incompatible versions of jupyter and ipython dependencies and that a lot of tools I need only work from pip, so I’ve been wondering if maybe I should just switch to the “pythonic way of doing it” and have absolutely no idea what that is.

What does that even mean? "General Purpose" != Linux. All software needs to be developed to run on specific hardware. Even virtualised platforms or interpreted code still depend on software that's developed to run specifically on supported platforms.

As it happens, Apple has released development tools and documentation to write and load alternate operating systems on this hardware. The Asahi Linux team have even said Apple is providing even more support than is available in the x86 world nowadays, it's just that this is in many ways a very new architecture.

Could they do more? Sure. Are they obliged to? No. Ultimately it's a product advertised with certain capabilities, no compromises means it can do that as expected, otherwise the phrase is basically meaningless.
It's not about newness thing. It's about software bit rot.

Every piece of software lives in an ecosystem. Libraries even more so. Unless the ecosystem is dead, there are always small changes over time until the code is outdated and should be replaced or redone.

This has happened with lockfile. It has been superseded and shouldn't be used anymore.

You say if it ain't broken don't fix it. That's only reasonable if you can say with 100% certainty that it won't break ever in the future. Otherwise you're building software debt.

It was hip hop, declaring "selling out" (specifically) to be propaganda. An entire decade and genre of music focused on this idea and the negative impacts of not selling one's work. "Getting paid" became the repeated mantra of many an artists' music. And that changed our culture.
Isn't it done already? Kotlin plus a simpler OOP toolkit like javafx avoids all those problems. You have a GC to handle circular references, you have a decently strong type system, coroutines etc.
Bureaucracy is foremost a tool for control, and the cost is time, friction and/or autonomy.

Sometimes this control is great, as it can streamline processes, which can make employee training and automation cheaper.

The problem is that the extra work created by bureaucracy is rarely executed by those that demand it, and is often only desired due to a lack of trust in those working on the floor.

A good bureaucracy requires very little active work (by humans) and has tangible benefits. It has to be of greater measureable value than the loss of productivity it incurs on the employees tasked with running it.
Breathed was always hyper-conscious of selling out in the comics industry and elsewhere; his approach was just to create Bill the Cat as an anti-Garfield. It was only later that irony became the only thing that sells.
I think the Intel and AMD situation (and Cyrix and VIA in the past) is exactly opposite: open source was build on their public ISA. Qualcomm does not build SoCs for open source, they build SoCs and don't even want to open source the drivers for it, reverse engineering is too complicated or not worth (as SoC changes too often), so third parties cannot write open source drivers.
I should've phrased my comment better. I don't disagree with anything you mentioned. The post is correct. I just think they're overselling that aspect.
No mention of the value-for-money of the M2. In my opinion this should be a factor when you decide if this is the "best laptop" out there.

I've read elsewhere (can't find it now) that the M1 Pro is a better deal, in terms of value-for-money.

There _is_ catch: cost. It's pretty expensive if you want the 512GB/16GB version.

some people just care about their work more than money.

Now imagine that the whole star wars franchising made more money by selling merchandise than everything else combined.

That's why new movies and shows are being produced ever more often: to sell toys and merch.

And that's also why the quality and the creativity went down compared to the original movies.

There's a price to pay when you start thinking your business is not the art itself anymore, but selling or licensing it.
> It’s also quite expensive which can make sense because scarcity, but not make sense since the demand must be fairly low.

If demand is highly inelastic - as would be expected for something like culinary preferences - then price actually has to increase when demand is low: if you can sell to 3 people at 20$ or 5 people at 10$, you're losing money by decreasing your price.
> it's literally a cartoon

First, it's an anime, not a cartoon.
They are different things with a different history.

Second, cartoon or not that does not justify silly voices and poor acting. Just because something is not live action or CGI it does not mean it should be dubbed like the Smurfs.

Additionally, the original author decided the style of the voicing. Dubbing for other languages should respect the author intention and not butcher their work.
>I suspect the difference is that in the past the only way to go commercial was to work with a big corporation.

I'm not so sure. Even if you "hustled" with a small business, or sold stuff yourself for the money, you were considered a sell-out. Musicians weren't supposed to peddle t-shirts, for example.
If you are judging based on price and inflation continues to go up, the value will stabilize or improve.
Apple clearly stated at WWDC 2022, that the best days of Objective-C and AppKit/UIKit are behind them, they even had a slide for it in case there were any doubts.

> First, it's an anime, not a cartoon.

I don't see much of a difference between calling it a Japanese cartoon and an anime. In English they're called cartoons, so I think that's a non-issue

> Second, cartoon or not that does not justify silly voices and poor acting.

> Just because something is not live action or CGI it does not mean it should be dubbed like the Smurfs.

As I said to the other reply, I'm not saying cartoon = silly, I'm saying cartoon = not reality. Even if it were dubbed with serious Japanese voice acting, do you think normal Japanese people talk that way? No.

Cowboy Bebop has funny moments and it has serious moments, I think the funny moments come through better in the dub, and the serious moments are portrayed excellently too. I think the English dub is high quality and more entertaining, and I enjoy it more than the Japanese voices with subs.
> You can do that but you'll need a way to generate the checksum for the seed phrase. A 24 words BIP39 seed contains 264 bits (24 x 11 bits): 256 bits for the seed and 8 bits for the checksum.

In theory, you could pick 23 words at random with 11 * 23 coin flips, every 11 flips representing an index in the dictionary. Now to find which 24th word passes the checksum, you could guess it in at most 2048 attempts on your hardware wallet :)

More realistically, it might be possible to develop a Ledger app that, given 23 words, finds the "checksum-passing" 24th word for you.

I've been investigating several no-code tools because we need some internal tooling, where most of my team are not programmers, and I don't want to have a bus factor of 1 for this.

I've so far been most impressed with directus (https://github.com/directus/directus), which is open source, can be self-hosted, and can enforce ABAC which essentially allows you to do any permission scheme, albeit with complex queries if you have complex requirements.

It might be worth to give this a try.

Ask HN: Do emoji help you in written communication?
(Please answer if you are a neurodiverse person struggling to read other people's emotions in offline conversations: I'd love to hear your thoughts on this)

I often hear an opinion that there is no place for emoji in professional communication. Generally I avoid them myself, preferring other, lengthier means to express my feelings, but time to time I can use a smiley as an ice breaker. It is also pretty clear to me that whatever standard of professional communication developed many years ago, it is not set in stone: communications evolve together with our culture and we do not speak Shakespearean or the language of Victorian society anymore. Emoji are on track to become an universal and cross-cultural language that enriches our communication with empathy: why would we exclude such a powerful tool from our professional life? Do you use emoji at work? How do you feel when you see someone else using them? Is there any trend or a curious observation that you can share?
Because Unix's file metadata was traditionally very simplistic – and while many contemporary Unix-like systems do better–such as with extended attributes (xattrs)–that feature came historically late enough that it has never seen anywhere near as much use as it would have had it been implemented earlier.

I think the designers of Unix were (in part) reacting to some systems they'd experienced (such as IBM mainframes) which had very rich–yet complex, cumbersome and rigid–file metadata, and in reaction decided to make file metadata as simple as possible. The idea that you could support richness with simplicity (extended attributes as arbitrary name-value pairs, leaving the name and value format mostly up to applications) didn't seem to emerge until much later. I could be wrong about this, but I think contemporary Unix-like systems actually borrowed the idea from OS/2 (which in turn was possibly somewhat influenced by classic Mac OS resource forks)
>I don't know about that; the corporations certainly think they won, but I'm more inclined to believe they already killed the golden goose. There's no money in top-40 payola; the time to the grocery store soundtrack has never been shorter

They don't care. They do "hollistic deals", and sell Billie Eilish merchandize and Taylor Swift dog collars and barf bags. Music is just a byproduct of the whole thing...
Almost any software project from Google with some kind of user-facing API seems to fail, because Google somehow sucks at API design. Like how awful to use Tensorflow became, leading to it getting largely replaced by PyTorch. Or how complex and convoluted AngularJS was, compared to ReactJS which replaced it. Google's design philosophy seems to be the polar opposite of Linux's "Don't break userspace", so I can see why application developers wouldn't trust a kernel written by them.

Dart itself is another example: it started similar to Typescript, but Typescript quickly grew to surpass it in every way. Because Typescript eagerly learned from modern programming language theory, while Dart stuck to Google's "try to make everything like 1990s OO" approach.
It's actually quite a fast SSD. The screen brightness and resolution is better than most PC laptops. Being 16:10 is a really nice addition and the Mac OS scaling works really well.

My only criticism is it is expensive, and upgrading it is expensive too. Seems like a nice laptop.
Toxiproxy is fantastic. I wish they supported a full configuration file in JSON or TOML or something but other than that it has been a lifesaver testing websockets.
For what subset of notepad++'s features? I've known a few users, and their patterns range widely. Some hinge on one specific feature, others just want a basic syntax highlighting editor that doesn't fight the system (i.e. Electron, gtk, vim, emacs).

TextAdept worked for the lightweight side, as it also uses the same Scintilla editing core. But way less menu entries and customization features.

CotEditor and BBEdit's basic feature set (that replaces TextWrangler, although you can even still use the same icon) might be appropriate.

But yeah, if you're really into some aspects of notepad++ or depend on special features, it's hard.
Lightweight, IMHO, implies no syntax highlighting for a start. That is bloat to me: I edit text, not code.

By far the lightest macOS text editor I've found is TextEd by Jeena:
https://github.com/jeena/TextEd.app/releases

It starts virtually instantly, and all it does is plain text. No other formats, no highlighting, nothing. Which is all I need.

Less is more.
It may depend on the type of work but there is something to be said about the longevity of the art and legacy.

Calvin and Hobbes was a massive part of my youth. It fed that creative and mischievous part of me that "regular" life just wasn't satisfying. I was smitten and still am.

Fast forward to my daughter's birth... At around 4 years old, I bought her the giant anthology of strips which includes everything Calvin and Hobbes ever printed. Like me, it shaped her in undefinable ways. It drove her drawing and reading off the charts. She very much grew as a person because of Bill's work and my influence in reading to her often. She took over very quickly! She latched on and studied those books with a fervor that I've not seen repeated in her yet.

Do you think the result would have been the same if there were T-shirts, TV shows, video games, and the like plastered all over? You can only shield a child from the world so much. They absorb everything.

Anyway, I think Bill absolutely made a most excellent decision. Not only for himself, but for us.
I'm also kind of hoping someone comes along and says I'm wrong with a solution that doesn't suck tbh.

Hey HN, my co-founder and I have been doing interviews with dev tools companies about developer onboarding, experience, and their dev docs.

One thing we noticed is that dev tools companies don't have a good way of getting more insights on why developers visit their docs. Specifically, feedback related to the code snippets in their docs.

We hacked a quick MVP with yesterday that solves exactly this. Here's a demo - https://twitter.com/mlejva/status/1547931719226912771

It automatically adds feedback buttons to all of your code snippets in your Docusaurus docs and you can start collecting feedback.

What do you think about it? If you are working at a dev tool company, what's your experience? Do you collect feedback in your code snippets?

To me, visually, the slope of weight lost does not flatten out significantly either after 7 days or 10 lbs.
