ca. 2000, my elementary school put me and my class in front of some PCs running windows 98 (proprietary), and connected to the internet, made us open internet explorer (proprietary), made us type "google.com" (proprietary) and showed us how to find things on the internet.

This was actually extremely unique - in france at the time, finding schools teaching any sort of computer skills, especially to young children, let alone *online*, was basically impossible. But I remember it very vividly. I don't know if the skills "learned" at that time had any influence on me, or ended up being useful (I probably would have figured them out eventually), but… I can't be sure, and the point is, it was I think a great thing.

I am an open source activist whenever I can. But saying schools have "no place supporting or teaching proprietary software" is extremely off-base, simply because the world is made of proprietary software and schools should be able to teach the reality of the world to children, teenagers and young adults.
I can imagine there is a large market for advertising to people who did bad in math.
I feel like the world needs a more "serious" way to make music with code. Not just an experimental art project, but something that could replace Bitwig or other major DAWs.
Denmark has alternatives, thats why this is done rather easily. The biggest problem is a slew of chromebooks bought by schools that will now be scraped, but the schools hated them anyway because of poor performance. Source Danish Guy with a daugther in 5th grade in Denmark.

I had the same thought but at the same time, population density can be desirable in itself and not just out of necessity. I'd definitely rather live in a dense city rather than in the desert country side.

What about a researcher that measures the kinetics of AB-aggregation in vivo, performs X-Ray crystallography to determine the structure of this (or another amyloid), or performs simulations to determine free binding energies of various antibodies with the oligomer and cites this paper as the reason it has clinical relevance?

I know people in the field that do all this kind of research and do not know much about mice-experiments or even about the experimental techniques used to obtain these results. To me, they are victims of this fraud more than anything.
BMW is a fun one! It is definitely meant for Air Force cadets in the early 70s (and the introduction says as much) so it's pretty approachable with a college freshman physics and calc background. The final "homework problem" is to stitch together the radar ranging, orbit determination, Lambert problem solving, and rocket guidance assignments from the previous chapters into a complete ICBM defense system. Pretty wild. And I think most of the code examples are in assembly.

As the author mentions, you can pick up a copy for well under $20. I'd say it's worth it for the 1960s-style diagrams and figures alone!
Yes, but there are way too many gas stations in most places – many intersections in suburban cities will have two or more gas stations at the corners, or across the street from each other. That's not due to necessity, that's just due to profit motive.

Similar situation here. I built several very successful sites back around 2000/2001 and made money with affiliate marketing. Can’t seem to get traction on anything anymore. Although, the amount of money that makes it worthwhile for me has increased drastically.

In my experience, it’s the ecosystem far more than the language that matters.

How good is the documentation? How well designed are the standard libraries? How good is the tooling?

Are there any great community libraries? Are these well documented? Is there a good place to find people online that are willing to help you solve problems?

Learning a new syntax is trivial and takes a couple hours to a couple days. Learning the ecosystem of libraries and tools to know the best way to solve problems takes years.

In general, I’ve found the best way to get started is to scratch an itch building something you want or need. Learning by doing is best.
It’s like being blackballed. I often wonder if people knew they were blackballed in Hollywood during the red scare. They were Shadowband. A lot of people have been unfairly “shadow band” in real life. In my humble opinion it is most certainly unethical. If someone is to be ostracized, to be banned so to speak from whatever activity that is, they deserve to know why.

It’s better to correct one’s behavior if one knows what the hell they are correcting. Correction and rehabilitation can’t have progress if you just put them in their own echo chamber.
Blockchain is a technology. Crypto curriencies, I will consider them ponzi schemes as long as they are marketed as investments

If they are marketed as temporary, volatile, risky currencies, then sure, they are not a scam.

The whole crypto industry reeks of sensationalism and trapping gullible idiots who are fed dreams of "returns".
That's a fair assessment.

But software developers are really highly-paid, compared to a lot of vocations. I'm not sure how many of us truly appreciate that.

> No one is going to buy the OS that can't even run on their latest chip.

Unless that latest chip is vastly superior to what we have today, almost nobody is going to care. Most people couldn't tell you which chip is in their computer right now. They don't even care what a processor is. They just want to be able to click on the little picture that makes facebook happen and they don't want to have to learn anything new to make that happen.

If every chip manufacturer refused, you're right that we'd be pretty safe, but the moment they can get just one chip manufacturer on board every OEM will buy those chips or go out of business. Intel was "evil inside" decades ago for a reason, so we knew how this was going to play out.
Correction: all of those selling shovels, a few of those who found gold. It’s different distributions.
Most of those "weird" emojis were grandfathered in from the Japanese standard
Any advice I can offer are things that seemed to work for me. I got "lucky" and struck gold on my first idea/project (consistently making high six figures over seven years running). I have tried other projects but none were nearly as successful.

1) Find your competitive advantage. I happened to work in a niche industry and learned it inside and out. I became somewhat of a "domain expert". I used that to my advantage and built my product to serve that niche. What can you do better than most people? What do you know inside and out?

2) Serve businesses, not people. People will do anything to not pay. They tend to have more charge backs and most of the "system abuse" I deal with are small time freelancers trying to squeeze my product's free offering. Don't offer too much for free. Don't be a charity. Serve businesses, they pay money.

3) Don't be afraid of competitors. My largest customers are in fact competitors that leverage my service to better their own service.

4) Don't charge too little. When I first started, my offering was incredibly cheap ($9 per-month). It certainly helped bring attention to my offering and I got a lot of customers for it, but they were cheap customers (see point #2 above). Today my lowest offering is $39 per-month and I seem to have weeded out most of the bad apples (though some still get through).

5) Reach out to customers directly. Don't rely on ads, social media posts or other fluff. I haven't done a single ad or social media post (I don't even have social media profiles). What I did do was directly email/message potential customers.
Well, it's a prisoner's dilemma, innit? Shamelessness (cheating) is always the ideal immediate option, even though it would be better if everyone cooperated. And given the high-stakes, winner-takes-all elements of life under late capitalism, no one can afford to not take the immediate win, even though it will make things worse in the long run, even for them.
I won't lie, I've used the original expect just because I needed to force a program to run in a pty. It turns out that script(1) will also do this though.
Yeah I think the hard thing for me being in a headline is were they saying “Gmail and other gmail like email services”, or “gmail and other Google services”

I would sub “all Google cloud services” in for “Gmail and Co” if I were writing this headline (or just “Gmail” and mention the other stuff that was banned in the article.)
Hi HN!

Motor Admin gem has been developed to replace the outdated ActiveAdmin/RailsAdmin/Blazer gems in your existing or future Rails app.

Unlike other Rails admin gems, Motor Admin doesn't use DSL or any other type of customization/configuration Ruby APIs.

All adjustments in Motor Admin can be made directly in the UI via WYSIWYG interfaces.

This probably makes it the first no-code/low-code Rails open-source admin engine.

Would appreciate any feedback regarding the gem!

The CLOUD ACT was passed explicitly because Microsoft argued that data hosted on European servers was out of reach of the US government.

Trust me, it is far far more popular in German, and would never be written as "and Co" in English.

In English, "& co." is used pretty much exclusively about people, whereas in German it's used literally everywhere, basically meaning "a category of things of which [this] is a famous example."

When I left my last job the owner asked about a counter offer. My new wage was so much higher that I told him even if he offered me that much I would resent him for valuing me that highly and intentionally underpaying me.
I would suggest vacuum bagging. I've used it to fix soles to shoes and surfboard fins. You can buy the vacuum bag cheap on Amazon. I would first loosely fix the block of papers together. Add glue and tape to the binding edge then stick it in the bag, suck out the air and let atmospheric pressure fix it nicely.

Helium would be so cool if it wasn't crypto-based and used BT instead of LoRa, and was more focused on being local-first.

They're doing some pretty amazing stuff as is, but Sidewalk/Tile/AirTags/YoSmart are doing it without crypto, and with small enough bandwidth to work via mobile.

I'd much rather have a centralized but selfhostable system, where you choose what network(s) to be a part of, and payments or lack thereof is up to them. They'd have a real chance of building a very large network if they had hardware partners.

Ideally, this stuff should be "too cheap to meter" anyway, and could even be ad supported, at least for very low bandwidth best effort stuff.
How do banks make money these days? In theory a bank is supposed to make money by the difference they charge in loan interest and the interest they pay to customers, minus their overhead.

It just seems like if they’re charging 8%-12% on a 3-4 year auto loan, they’d be Paying more than .5% to customers.

What am I not understanding?
To not assume complete stupidity, I'd imagine the Saudi's are looking at Dubai's success in locking in foreign capital into real-estate speculation, and want to imitate that. I'm sure they're hoping to stir up interest and lock in as much speculative commitment before anything is done and are treating it like the world is their Softbank.

Doing this while being surrounded by yes-men and not being grounded in reality is a recipe for disaster, I just hope they don't burn some pension fund money along the way.

I for one don't wish to see Megacity Wahid built, but I hope they burn as much money as possible along the way.

> Should need to teach how to think.

Do you know if there is any sort of consensus on this topic on how to do it?

It looks like a very popular belief, but do anyone actually knows how to think, and even more, how to teach how to think without making it just a different kind of propaganda?
1. If basically all office jobs dealt with online marketing, then yes, we should teach facebook and TikTok in school. But almost no office jobs are related to marketing and so no we shouldn’t teach those tools. It’s an apples and oranges comparison.

2. Schools shouldn’t be trying to be in charge of shaping corporations. That isn’t and shouldn’t be a goal of teaching children.

3. That’s an arbitrary opinion you have. No text books either then? No published novels? No proprietary informational videos? Yes you COULD teach without these, but you would deliver a subpar experience. I’d again argue that schools shouldn’t be focusing on trying to push these moral ideals, they should be focusing on preparing our children for contributing to society in adulthood as much as possible.

Reading enterprise code is like reading a book where 99% of the pages don't contain any meaningful information.
I interviewed at Apple in 1987, and it was an all-day interview, but it wasn't much like the technical interviews I've done in more recent years--the ones characterized by brain teasers and whiteboard coding. There was none of that in my Apple interviews. They made me an offer and I worked there for ten years.

Now, we can't conclude from that whether Apple has adopted whiteboarding and brain teasers generally. In those days Apple did interviews the way they did everything else: each group at the company did things their own way. I don't know whether that's true anymore; I left Apple in 1998. All I know is that I interviewed with them again four or five years ago, and that was a lot of interviews over a couple of days, but still no whiteboarding or brain teasers.

The first time I encountered what is now referred to as the technical interview was at Microsoft in about 1990 or 1991. I bombed it. Turns out I'm worthless at whiteboarding and brain teasers. They gave me an offer, anyway. Two, in fact. I turned down both. Microsoft would have made me a lot of money, but I didn't want to work for those guys.

That pattern repeated several times over the years: bomb technical interview; get offer anyway. Finally I just stopped doing it. I don't like it and I don't think it measures anything relevant to my work. If it did, why would I get offers after bombing those parts of interviews? Why would most of my employers be people I've worked for before? Why would they ask me to work for them again?

So, generally speaking, I just don't do those kinds of interviews anymore. If you believe in them for hiring, knock yourself out. We're not a match.
This was so important for (american) vendors and the (more or less american) committee that they even retroactively changed the standard from "pistol" to "water pistol", in the light of (american) gun violence.
True but then it was somewhat a fashion of the time to add Open to things (marketing trying to capitalise upon the Opensource movement heh). For VMS the history is:

"In July 1992, DEC renamed VAX/VMS to OpenVMS as an indication for its support of open systems industry standards such as POSIX and Unix compatibility, and to drop the VAX connection since a migration to a different architecture was underway."
That's not a convincing argument. Jupiter is regularly hit by stuff that's been avoiding it for billions of years. (But "this trajectory doesn't ever cross Earth's orbit" is what we want here.)
The S&P 500 pays out over a trillion dollars each year in dividends and stock buybacks funded by the profits of their productive economic activity.

This is what you are investing in when you buy a stock. The numbers-go-up of the stock market is both directly (through stock buybacks) and indirectly (through expectations of future dividends) a consequence of this productive activity, not just greater fools.

If you do this, be prepared for the company to call your bluff.

Many places have a policy that invoking legal is a one way street, and once you’ve threatened to sue they will give you the contact details for legal and then refuse to speak to you through normal customer service channels for any reason.

You’re now stuck dealing with the people who’s job it is to mitigate risk, and not those who’s job it is to keep customers happy.
gotta say, while a decent instructable, the completely unnecessary use of the r word near the beginning really turned me off. Almost stopped right there.
I often listen to people older than me to learn of what they regret and what they do not. It's the closest thing to time-travel I have.
