I've been wanting to make a datalog tagging system for a few things for a while now but don't have the energy to actually do it. Essentially the idea is to encode relationships allowing for very specific queries like: "show me pictures of a person wearing a green hat looking at another person" which is not something most tagging systems could reasonably do.

Breaking that down, that'd be something like:

wearing(person1, hat), is_hat(hat), is_green(hat), is_person(person1), is_person(person2), looking_at(person1, person2).

I wanted to apply this to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu videos to be able to find very specific queries like, "matches where player 1 gets a takedown, gets swept by player 2, and player 2 wins by submission". A sufficiently well tagged data set would let you find specific stories and sequences of events in a way that I don't think a non-computational query system could do.

Most of the effort and value around a system like this would be building a community of people to tag the data and tools to make that tagging easy... and perhaps a more user friendly query UI.
Doing it economically is still incredibly challenging, and there's a reason why they're so far ahead of everybody else.

Teaching qualifications were BS to begin with. For most subjects, having a degree in a subject actually correlates terribly with someone's ability to teach it. These restrictions had more to do with liability and protecting jobs than anything else.

You're comparing the rental occupancy rate for the entire country to a specific market? That doesn't make any sense. SF (and another of other cities) is in a housing market crisis, whereas detroit (and another of other cities) has extremely high amounts of vacancy. Obviously you have to consider this market by market.

This product is being used to maximize revenue in specific markets, by telling landlords to hold apartments vacant by listing them at higher than market prices. By doing that across the market, they artificially increase scarcity, which forces people to rent those apartments at inflated prices. That's collusion by proxy, because you have a single actor that's coordinating actions.

It's collusion because all of these companies are sharing their private pricing data with a central entity, who's using that private data to provide coordinated actions.

From your link, it looks like they have a criterion requiring that the vet has about half a bachelor degree already (60 credits), so it makes sense as a fast pass for college students or an incentive for a near grad dropout to go back and finish.
I wish there was an autocorrect for obvious errors, not changing context of a word like hell -> he'll, well -> we'll, nickel -> Nicole (this is a weird one), and many more. Better yet, it should just underline the word and let me manually correct it like software used to before everyone tried to do ai nonsense. Apparently that red underline is part of the OS but I don't recall actually seeing it.
The Chinese navy can't blockade an air force, and we would sell Taiwan an air force.

Analytics systems that ask for informed user consent before transmitting are fine.

There is no semantic difference whatsoever between silent analytics that assume consent (i.e. "opt out") and spyware. Both invisibly transmit user data off the system without the consent (and usually without the knowledge) of the user, exfiltrating stolen information.

Tellingly, the variable used for configuring this in Mattermost calls it "diagnostics", further obscuring its functionality.

If privacy is a human right, then this software by default violates the human rights of its users.

If there is data that should never be pushed to origin, then it is a highly desirable feature that the server block pushes that include that private data.

The page you linked explains the rationale:

> Veterans who successfully obtain their 5-year temporary teaching certificate will be assigned a mentor teacher for a minimum of two years to support their classroom teaching endeavors. They must also earn their bachelor’s degree during the 5-year period to be eligible for a full professional certificate; the temporary certificate cannot be renewed once it expires.

It’s a temporary pathway for veterans to work as teachers while finishing a bachelor’s degree. (This has been widely misreported in the media.)
I love to code, but pretty much only when i am unemployed. There is just only so much coding i can do in a day before becoming a crazy person.

If it helps, i dont think my love of coding has really helped me at work. It just makes work seem more boring compared to the coding i would actually like to do, and makes work/life balance more challenging. :)
Oh man, I actually prefer the Linux version to the Windows one. The interface is a bit more usable, in that all the controls are grouped in the same place. On Windows, the bar is split along the top and right sides of the screen, and you can't set the incoming video to take the whole screen. Even "focus on content" still leaves a bunch of stuff hanging around.

The only thing I prefer on Windows is that it uses native notifications. Other than that, it's the same laggy, broken piece of crap on all platforms.

When I was still using a Mac, teams there seemed similar to Linux.
Let's hope the pilots aren't bringing these on the planes with them and installing the hardware during the flight.
I hope the US is ready to go with orbital kinetic energy weapons. Ten thousand or so projectiles, each made of 50 kilograms of tungsten, raining down at multiple kilometers per second, would likely...suppress...any attempted blockade.

> There is not a single app that makes full use of the increased CPU power of these new iPads.

Nomad Sculpt. There is no such thing as increased CPU power, often you're dealing with multiple millions of polygons. There is even limitation in the app saying "don't go over X number of polygons" because of CPU limitations. And it's the reason why I'm buying new iPad Pro - to be able to work with more polygons faster.
I think it’s well documented how annoying hearing just one side of a conversation is.

Beyond this, yes it’s rude to talk at length on a plane to other people on a long haul flight, for example. I mean I get it but flying is by default a stressful experience as is.
That assumes there is no use for the "overproduced" parts.

"The sort of people who were making worthless comments because they were confronted with a webpage formatted in an unfamiliar way won't suddenly start making insightful comments because there's a video link; they won't make any comments at all."

I think "not making a comment if they don't have anything to say about the content" was the goal of the change. Reduces the noise on the page (I seldom go to page 2) and probably also the moderation burden.

That sounds like “fortunately” not “unfortunately.” For everyone involved, including the teacher.
Typically proxy servers don’t have access to the contents within an ssl session unless they are MITM the whole transaction. And at that point they could just MITM passwords and everything else sent through the session.

They are worse than ssh keys but I think are still acceptable as I don’t use any proxies that MITM my ssl sessions and I’d be able to detect if someone tried (assuming the root CA don’t go crazy and start allowing it).

Fantastic. Is there a breakdown on storage used by year? A long time ago, I was going through the 5.25 & 3/4 floppy collection of someone who use to run a computer shop and kept a copy of everything, and was amused at the idea they could all fit on a few DVDs.

> For Dallas schools, “it’s about the passion, not about the paper,” said Robert Abel, the district’s human capital management chief.

It's also about the paper (the Benjamins).

During Covid, I know and heard of teachers who decided they just weren't getting paid enough for the conditions.

Already underpaid, they were then told to do additional things, including teach before a class of germ-factory children without being allowed to wear a mask when mask advisories were otherwise in effect. Or to take additional workload to teach both in-person and remote. Or, in the case of college lecturers and professors, to record video lectures that the school could reuse without them (video streaming is even cheaper than an adjunct).

It'd make sense to pay and treat teachers like the enormously important educators and nurturers of children that they are.

You can still get passion, but people saying someone else should do work out of passion... always sound like they're exploiting.
Been a while since I've used Android, and it's no longer available (you'll have to find an old .apk, maybe it would still work), but Swype was hands-down the best phone keyboard I've ever used. It had an editing keyboard layout that allowed single-character movement of the cursor, easily selected by Swyping from the Swype key to something else (space bar, maybe?). Swype-X, Swype-C, Swype-V for cut, copy, and paste, and they actually worked well.

Apple's knockoff is nowhere near as good, and routinely "forgets" custom words including curses. My text language is often not PG-rated, let alone G-rated.

Life is a series of choices, and it's impossible to explore every path you could take.

> But I do feel like you don't get a chance to understand what being a parent is all about.

That's 100% accurate.

There's a pretty much infinite number of possible life experiences I'm not going to get to experience personally and will not have the time/money/ability to fit into my lifespan. The wishlist of things I'd love to do or experience someday continually grows longer - no matter how much I try to fit more of them into my life.

Taking on what amounts to a lifetime commitment and a massive investment of time and money for an experience that I have zero interest in and think I would actively dislike, seems like a terrible use of my finite resources.

> It forces you to change, maintain a good relationship w/ your partner, be a good role model, etc.

Perhaps it inspired you to do that. But the divorce rate and number of parents out there are terrible role models, suggest that it's not exactly the case for everyone.

I'll also suggest that people who don't have much interest in becoming parents are probably a whole lot more likely to wind up on the negative side of those possibilities should they wind up having children anyway.
It stands to reason: sex + gambling.

With inflation being what it is, civil service workers (including teachers) are going to be feeling a bit of a squeeze. We are already seeing it with bus drivers and teacher aides - there is no way for the public sector to keep up with private sector wages during high inflation (the tax levy can't grow fast enough).

What will be interesting is if having non-certified teachers doesn't impact education outcomes, which for K-5 gen ed classes seems at least a possibility. Then the core argument for teacher pay (that they have masters degrees) will go out the window.

I expanded my thoughts into a short post, if you care to read it: https://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/machine-talk

Spelling and grammar checkers are amazing. It becomes a problem when we outsource expressing ourselves to a machine. If kind, thoughtful words come from an artificial brain, expressing sympathies just becomes a box-ticking exercise.

We mocked "press F to pay respects", but we've already built it in real life. "Congratulate John about his new job" (LinkedIn), "Wish Jane a happy birthday" (Facebook). Having the machine write the message for us is the next step, and I find it terrifying. What value is there to a gesture if it asks nothing of us? No thoughtfulness, hell, no thought.

At this point, you might as well go all-in. Attach a pen to a CNC, connect AI to it, and offer heartfelt handwritten notes as a service. Offer to connect it to social media and auto-detect heartfelt handwritten letter opportunities. Have that letter in the mail while the corpse is still warm.

By using source code and version control. It's not magic, check out Pharo + Iceberg (their integration with git). You still end up with a live environment for much of your work, but in a way that still works well for collaboration. Just don't be foolish and think, "Oh, I can redefine this live and never commit it anywhere and that'll be fine." That's not very smart, and you don't want people to think you're an idiot, so don't do it.

I think we're well past the point of debating whether WiFi on planes is useful for people. Just because some folks don't feel like they have room to use a laptop hardly means the airline industry doesn't pull millions in revenue selling abysmal connections for $15-20 a pop. Some of us just want to watch YouTube on our phones or scroll Instagram or message friends on Telegram. If this is a competitive price for airlines and the service is good, you can bet it will sell.
I feel like something changed with autocorrect and the default correction is often wrong. And then sometimes I see myself getting a word auto corrected 3 times before I type it in a way that’s corrected properly, or I need to select the right suggestion manually. It feels like autocorrect stopped looking at the whole sentence for context and often just corrects to something that doesn’t make any sense. It didn’t use to be like that I think, but it’s all subjective feelings.

Fulcro (a library for Clojure/ClojureScript web applications ) has a way of doing this, and I'm sure it's not unique in this aspect: I just don't do enough work in this space to be familiar with the other offerings. This type of feature is valued in the Clojure community, so I wouldn't be surprised if reagent has something like this as well. And this type of thing isn't unique to Clojure, either.

Florida only requires substitute teachers have a high school diploma and be trained in the school district’s school safety policies and procedures, ethics, professional responsibilities and liability laws.

I strongly suspect the issue in states claiming a shortage of teachers is due to low salaries. Rather than raise salaries to attract talent, they're lowering hiring standards.
I mean no amount of qualifications can prepare you for that kind of environment if the student to teacher ratio Id too high

This sounds a lot like Android, so welcome to the party.

On the other hand, swipe typing has been the bomb for over a decade. Since it's now available on iOS, give it a chance. Maybe you'll find it makes up for the iPhone's recent declines.

I'm always surprised at the pushback from people when the topic of touchscreen laptops comes up. I love mine, even if I don't use it a ton. It's a collection of delightful little things: a modal dialog box that I just reach up and tap Okay. Resting four fingers on the back of the display and using a thumb to scroll a web page. Any situation (like on an airplane) where space is limited, reaching for the screen can be better than using a touchpad. I don't use it instead of mouse/touchpad, but I use it as an additional input, and again, it's delightful.

Apple could let customers launch iPad apps on their Macs and use a touchscreen. But they don't, because they'd rather sell you two devices. It's silly, artificial market segmentation.
