Except that the cost of going to school is expensive. Even if schools are free for you, it is paid by tax money. We should always aspire to teach useful subjects with decent ROIS in schools.
Thanks for the tip. I should read the spec again so I don't miss these.
It's a nice tool (reptyr), but not particularly convenient to use, requiring several steps to move the process to the background and remembering the PID etc. I do wish this was a more streamlined, standard feature of Unix/Linux shells. Something like a simple integrated "pushproc"/"popproc" command.
Sure, but that is not a stable solution. Defection is rewarded.
So, assuming Musk's funding comes through and the court agrees, we'll end up pretty much where we started.
I have a learning disability related to some incredibly common cognitive issues that impact symbol recognition. I can abstractly reason about the concepts vastly more easily than most and can do fairly complex problems in my head quite easily– speaking to a math PhD candidate a year or two ago, he said "you know, you think about math exactly like a mathmetician does. I can't believe you're not interested in pursuing math in school." My cognitive profile, however, makes doing calculations on paper painstakingly difficult– high school geometry (passed in summer school with a D) was about my limit before failure was guaranteed.

This shut the door to every college opportunity I was aware of. I ended up graduating in a night school program while working full time. Only after two decades when SATs and high school grades were no longer relevant did I start a BFA program, and soon after I realized how abjectly the system had failed me. I always assumed I was a fuckup with no discipline (which is what I was told) and played the part accordingly. Cognitively, I tore my program to shreds. A solid 4.0 GPA while having the time of my life takes more than the responsibility gained during adulthood. I could have easily competed in a serious ivy league degree program given the opportunity.

Sure, learning traditional math calculation can benefit many people– but not everybody is cut out for it, and that's fine. Student should certainly be encouraged to pursue it, but using it or any other individual skill as gatekeepers for an enormous number of educational paths that may perfectly suit slightly different cognitive profiles is fucking stupid.
I'm genuinely interested in what people would think if the EU mandated that all new code must be written in a particular programming language.
> Will vehicles equipped with ultrasonic sensors have their functionality removed?
> At this time, we do not plan to remove the functionality of ultrasonic sensors in our existing fleet.

I really really do not like the use of the phrase "our existing fleet" here. It heavily implies that Tesla has some level of ownership over the vehicles they sell post-purchase.
There have been a few flying VTOL prototype designs with more than two turbine engines. The extra engines were used for powered lift during takeoff and landing. But that approach turned out to be impractical due to safety, cost, and weight.

https://vtol.org/vstol/wheel.htm
AFAIU from reading about the Plano Real and some other cases, the extra dollars come from the central bank being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they don't print the extra money, then inflation accelerates--a scarcer dollar increases in real value, but non-intuitively this doesn't produce deflation unless you're prepared to hold your ground while the economy and society incinerates in the chaos.

EDIT: I think this is one of the primary phenomenons creating the dilemma for the central bank and government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_inflation But IIRC from the Brazil case, informal expectations and pricing strategies in the supply chain (from factory to corner store) were at least as important as contracts.
That's kind of the point of the article: it's all capitalism. (Despite the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, it's run under "capitalism with Chinese characteristics".)

Capitalism is the reason we have climate change: the environment is an externality that isn't priced in, and so it's treated as zero cost. Anybody who tries to incorporate that cost single-handledly will be at an economic disadvantage to somebody who doesn't, and capitalism will destroy the former and reward the latter.

That doesn't prescribe the solution, which is going to be a complex balance of millions of factors (both current and historical). Large, poor countries will have to play their parts, too.

But the lesson here is to identify what got us into this situation so that we can hope to find a way out. The free market caused it, and maybe it can be part of the solution -- but not unless there is also a non-free-market portion in which we all agree to stop treating the atmosphere as an infinite carbon sink.

It's only at that point that the real search for solutions can begin. But it's never going to happen while one country -- one of the largest carbon emitters both per-capita and collectively -- is unable to act because of enormous political influence from people who insist that it's a hoax.
It's nothing, it's a Pr text.
Yeah you pointed out something special here. It’s like those unsung Russian sub captains who didn’t start the nuclear apocalypse because they had an intuitive understanding between faulty and genuine threats. You can’t explain why you know something you just know it.

Besides, Magnus genuinely has never seemed like the guy to get petty and up and throw a fit, he’s lost plenty of times without doing such.
Lots of people can get passionate about working for a free speech platform, I know I would. However, it's another question if Elon will deliver on that promise.
But again, you've picked a single wonderful scientist as if that proves all great thinkers followed his path. Does Einstein not having a formal education somehow mean that all great thinkers just have had the same life path as him? It's just nonsensical, sorry.

Marie Curie was a student at the University of Paris. Isaac Newton at Cambridge University. Charles Darwin studied at the University of Edinburgh. Nikola Tesla couldn't go to university but he completed 4 years of high school in 3 years and "later wrote that he became interested in demonstrations of electricity by his physics professor". Galileo Galilei studied at the University of Pisa.

Or stepping back away from science again, David Bowie. From Wikipedia again to save writing: "Bowie studied art, music, and design, including layout and typesetting. After Burns introduced him to modern jazz, his enthusiasm for players like Charles Mingus and John Coltrane led his mother to give him a Grafton saxophone in 1961. He was soon receiving lessons from baritone saxophonist Ronnie Ross."

Again, since you seem to miss my points in my last comment: I'm not saying education is required for greatness, nor better for all people (Einstein certainly tried formal education and hated it). But to say it prevents creativity is just wrong, except for bad education.

Maybe you're basing things on your experience of school / child education which wasn't good enough for you?
I feel like you’re weaselling out of your earlier statement a bit. In your top comment you talk about it being hard to look up symbols. I point out that you need to look up symbols for circuit diagrams and you say that actually one doesn’t need to look them up because they are actually intuitive and you invent a new criterion for diagrams to fail so that circuit diagrams can pass through but UML cannot.

I claim that circuit diagram symbols aren’t particularly intuitive (e.g. the symbol for a resistor is just a longer wire? The symbol for a transistor is very non-obvious, I think. The symbol for a potentiometer is pretty difficult even if you know how one works.)

And another example of a visual representation that works well even though it is for something intangible is the kind of grammar diagram you can see in the SQLite documentation where terminal symbols are in rounded rectangles, non-terminal symbols in regular rectangles, and arrows indicate concatenation (I.e. production rules).

To be clear, I don’t want to disagree with your overall opinion that UML is bad or that the symbols are intuitive, and perhaps that is the reason that UML failed, but I think the reasoning about visual notations and the reasons they fail in general is faulty and I don’t think the answer is to find ever narrower definitions of the cases where visual notation systems don’t work.
This is why I constantly cheated in school. I got caught once and the penalty was a 0 on the test and a talking to. And only because I was a cheating noob.

The benefits were in the thousands and thousands of scholarship dollars.

I cheat now in my employment. I work three full time jobs remotely and do the bare minimum in each. The risk is getting fired (and if I only get fired from two of the jobs, I am still ahead of honest work). The payoff is decades taken off my working life.
That is a fair take, and now I agree. I suspect that u/glommer et. al. hadn't understood the importance of that test suite, else they would have mentioned it. To me libSQL seems like pie in the sky. They're making demands and threatening a fork, but w/o any evidence of sufficient resources the threats are empty and the demands will go unmet.
I've seen webrings brought up repeatedly here on HN. Did those ever work well? I always saw them as one of the ever-increasing number of grifts mentioned in the article. It seemed like when you joined one, it didn't really help traffic to your site, but did help redirect the traffic you already had coming to your page to other sites in the ring. I tried it once and found it didn't increase traffic at all, but that's just one data point, so maybe there were some that worked as intended?

How to best deal with bias against experienced engineers looking for work?
How do I best deal with the bias that seems to exist in tech against experienced engineers looking for work in tech due to c19?

This bias seems to exist in two basic ways in my experience based on the questions I have been able to get answered via online threads asking about this:

- They think you're just going to leave for another company that pays better once you can find something better, and they don't believe in their company or its vision enough to consider themselves good enough to stay at, so they don't want to hire you because they consider it impossible that you will stay. They cant possibly believe that somebody wants to join them and work with them.

- They're worried you're going take somebody's job if they hire you, so they don't want to hire you. They assume you are too good to not end up being the boss, and they wont hire you because trey want to protect their own jobs.

So what's left if your not interested in starting your own company or getting our of tech?

What do you do when you legitimately just want to join a good team and build cool stuff fir the long term?

In short, what do developers over 40 do to stay in tech? Because I know too many who hit that over the pandemic and its like they are being removed from tech or something, and I really want to be able to help them.
No idea why you decided to lump Java together with these abonimations.

Java by itself is an extremely simple language.

"Basic math and physics education helps build intuition for it, but without people are really bad."

Erm, in some abstract ways yes - but actually people are very good at extrapolating current physical events. "It is getting hot fast? Oh not, it might even get hotter, lets look for shade."

Or throwing a ball. You would need calculus to correctly calculate the flight path of the ball, yet we can do so, without and very fast.

Where our intuition fails often, is understanding the reason why things happen. For this physics and math should be taught from very early on.
Why would someone buy this? Honest question, not asking it to make a point or be snarky.
Thank you, for putting it more eloquently than me. I was completely baffled by that reply.
“ Capitalism just values what people value. ”

Capitalism values what capitalists value.
I think it begs the question, but is Calculus the best and only way to exercise your brain?

What if you did programming instead? Or learned anything else? More practical math maybe even like Linear Algebra?

It reminds me of how my teachers justified why we were learning Latin, it'll make you better at languages, it'll be easier for you to learn other languages after... But all this is true if you learn Spanish instead, and you also happen to have learned a practical skill while you're at it!
Worse still, Haymarket square and Fulton market, only ten years ago a bustling testament to the working man with stevedores chaotically driving pallets around and across the brick-paved street, bike messengers whizzing around the forklifts. Now it's a bunch of helvetica-menu restaurants and FAANG offices, basically our SoMa.
Living in Mexico City around a lot of construction, I've had my heart (and kit) broken by dirty, inconstant power. For small things like a Wifi repeater a 10Ah battery inline works ok. But for anything beefier or without its own internal battery, eg a NAS / printer / modem, you still need a proper UPS.

The end result is we have a 750-100VA box under every desk and one in the comms closet. Unsurprisingly even small office supply stores around here have a wide selection of UPS and power kit.
Well if you hunted in the King’s forest, they chopped your head off. That’s a clear consequence of consumption.
I think Twitter Inc agrees with you, as they've made no request for damages.

Shareholder lawsuits are weird; maybe someone who owns Twitter Inc stock could claim Musk's actions caused them to sell early, or otherwise suffer losses (margin calls?) due to his actions temporarily pushing the stock value below the deal price, even if the deal concludes. But I've not seen hints of any such stretches.
Freezes are never absolute or company wide. It just means that it will be harder to get headcount. The recruiters keep filling the funnel at a lower pace.

> Is every form of industrialization, from the USSR to the UK to the US to China, capitalist?

Can't say if every form of industrialization is capitalist, but the USSR and Communist China were/are state capitalist.
There’s no denying that capitalism is “grow or die”, but so is socialism. Like capitalism, socialism needs working adults to outnumber both retired seniors and non working age children. The only way socialism can avoid the constant growth requirement is if they have a “you only eat if you work” rule. Historically, socialism’s rate of pollution is on par with capitalism
I agree, the crime does not fit the punishment. But if your a kid then you cant legally accept the terms of use, ether.
> And the joy of working with an esoteric language is that it attracts esoteric developers, who often get frustrated by the requirements of being a software engineer in a large company (i.e. everything that's not writing code), which leads to the aforementioned 100% dev churn (after a lot of shouting).

Wow. Pretty insightful :)

From TFA Postgres was an established tool in their org they already had expertise with. The author argues that adopting a new tool would have been risky and costly.
> Though on the positive side, I think I'll personally find a debate about free speech

Twitter will be forced to prioritize short-term profit to recoup Musk's losses and rage-porn style engagement content will be the easiest (and likely only) way they can do it.
Can you explain? As I understand it, in both cases, a photon comes in, gets absorbed by the material, and then gets re emitted.
I have a question for someone with your expertise.
Why not use the CLOCK-Pro cache eviction algorithm in a system like this?
Aha so we’re talking about a Tesla design spec constraint not some fundamental safety thing or computational limit or some other physical barrier or whatever. Interesting.
> Where do you think all the products manufactured in China are going?

China consumes most of what they are making today. What do you think is happening? China is very different today than 20 years ago.

What wireless protocol has the range to cover an entire house or lot? Bluetooth is sketchy beyond the same room, and I don't want to deploy a dozen hubs just to cover all my stuff...
Yet I can cite hundreds of cases of cheating in all the major sports in which, yes, there was a suspension or other penalty, but the players or people involved were then allowed to participate again. The examples you cited are very extreme, but even in these cases, they don't support your argument. None of those players were removed from the game during their playing careers and barred. And again, those are just the most extreme cases. There are many, many less severe cases, all of which support my argument and not yours.

You might want to remove Schilling from your list, btw. He hasn't been accused of any cheating; instead, he did other embarrassing things.
> I don't think it was inspired by that particular euphemism for Satan.

Agreed, just as the usage referring to denial of the 2020 US presidential election was not inspired by its usage by the Nazis.

My point is only that "Big Lie/Liar" or some variant thereof has been a phrase used rhetorically for millennia.
Shameless plug: This is what I’m building Socket.dev to solve.

Socket watches for changes to “package manifest” files such as package.json, package-lock.json, and yarn.lock. Whenever a new dependency is added in a pull request, Socket analyzes the package's behavior and leaves a comment if it is a security risk.

No. You're an insider when you have material knowledge and a duty to the shareholders, implied or otherwise, not to abuse it.
Axios 1.0.0
Hard to believe that people still see this as a smart move. Musk has been acting really erratically the last couple of years and was due to fall flat on his face. He's now done that in possibly the worst way. I'm really not sure what happened to the guy, if you read any of the material that was published in the course of the lawsuit, he just seems to act totally unprofessional. I find it really hard to understand how someone like that has achieved what he has. His decision making just seems impulsive most of the time.
The problem with this way is that calculus is needed to get through, like, a basic engineering degree, I assume economics if you are doing it with any rigor. I suspect these aren't like careers for the top 1% braniac kids, they are normal B+ student fields (I mean I know everyone gets straight A's in highschool now, but you know what I mean).
Quotation marks arguably depend on the country more than on the language, so Switzerland quotes like «this» in French, German and Italian, while the Germans, at least, don't quote like that.

It seems that Sweden and Finland use the same character for opening and closing quotes, like ”this”, which is similar to using straight quotes.

At this point, there's been

- Inadvertent climate modification*

- Global Warming

- Anthropogenic Global Warming

- Global Heating

- Climate Change

- Climate Crisis

- Climate Emergency

I don't disagree with the thrust of your point, but the same argument you make against 'climate change' could also be made against 'climate destabilizaiton', since destabilization can have human and non-human causes (for example, the rise of plant life, asteroids, or the periodic advancement and retreat of the glaciers)..

The first term in the list above seems to capture the point a bit better, since 'inadvertent' strongly implies human agency is involved.

In practice, 'human caused' is implied in the terms 'global warming' and 'climate change'. For my money it's better to stick with those terms, and add 'anthropogenic' if there is potential for confusion.

I used C++ full-time for more than a decade before finally abandoning it in disgust.

Now I use Go for most purposes, and C or CUDA when appropriate.

Good riddance.
Why? There's so many resources now. I actually tried to relearn calculus recently. I ran into the same problem I had the first time in college, it felt like learning for learning sake and didn't have a strong enough motivation for it
D. Richard Hipp handled the situation pretty well in that he got what he wanted and the consortium members didn't get what they wanted.
Yep. Even just linear algebra. I’m trying to get into graphics programming and it’s very difficult without a solid understanding of that stuff.
Most people can’t do more than the simplest derivations in their head, the symbols are just a notational placeholder, and also used to communicate with others.

The abstraction is the what you have to have a knack for, not the symbols themselves.
Netlink Added to FreeBSD – Unmodified Linux IP(8) Correctly Works
In this we can agree. I consider what I was talking about to be more like supporting individual humans in their quest to make something beautiful, or to make something useful, without having to have a corporate structure around it. I believe in purchasing goods which I can use or art that I can appreciate, personally, and also support individuals and small business.

The true waste from consumerism isn't just from the individuals who live in that world, but from the corporate and social behemoths that push the rampant consumption of goods that aren't made by individuals with care, but by machines who have been programmed to do so, whether electromechanical (robots) or biological (factory workers). We should all strive to support individuals and small businesses over corpos.
No idea what you're talking about. I've worked with devs in their 40s and 50s. Looking at an ex-coworker in their 40s now who just got a senior position at paramount.
"Not helping"... who or what?

Musk is now offering to execute the signed deal – which is the only thing Twitter asked to court to enforce. So it's absolutely helping resolve the dispute faster, without further legal costs or burdens on the court – and probably with the same end state as was most-likely earlier. And perhaps by signaling a specific clear future, damage to Twitter's position from the uncertainty & acrimony will halt & start to heal... benefiting its future owner, Musk.
This has to be a troll post.
Battery weight depends on capacity, not rated life. Kind of nitpicky, but this really depends on how the power management works on this platform. It could just be really inefficient right now. (especially since we don't have systems really optimised for it yet)
