> Apple still makes great products. Nothing can beat a MacBook

I have quite a few computers on my desk these days.

* Late model Windows laptop

* M1 MAcOS laptop

* iPad

* Android phone

* Raspberry Pi

The point of telling this story is the computer with, by a long distance, best development environment/tools is the Raspberry Pi.

As for user experience, the Windows machine is not too bad, the iPad and Android phone are horrid limited little things. I prefer the Pi, but I can recognise the quality of the MacOS environment. My taste is with the Raspberry Pi. Especially because I can turn of the (fucking) GUI and use it in true text mode.

I learnt programming on the then magical Macintosh computers 1989-1992. They were really something technologically. So far ahead of anything else within ten times the cost.

Those days are gone for Apple. Thank you for the memories.
>News media shouldn’t have a “side.” The press has to be seen as separate from politics, not just because this is a crucial component of trustworthiness, but also because the media derives all its power from the perception of its independence. If a news organ is seen as too connected to one or another party, it loses its ability to serve as a check on power. How can you “hold Trump accountable” without credibility?

The Zeitgeist of yesterday that Taibbi is referring to has been put away in the drawer. The new Zeitgeist, embraced by the younger generation can be summarized thusly:

There is no objective truth, no escape from ideology, no escape (especially) from the perspective of personal identity and societal position, and as a result there's no such thing as an objective media organization.

If we say it doesn't exist and act like it cannot, then someone like Taibbi can simultaneously be pinned as an alt-right with a platform, and a confused liberal. It doesn't matter if he's written a book that denigrates Trump; if he criticizes an important mark against Trump, he's essentially 'enabling' him and thus complicit.

That's the mess we're in. Taibbi blames commercialization, but I've clearly observed this epistemology of radical subjectivism taking hold. I don't know how else to characterize it.
I liked it, but I ended up only reading the boldface text.

Very prescient in what we are seeing in the media today. The vile offspring eventually simulated every permutation that could be simulated.

Today we quickly see everything than can be claimed about an issue is claimed.

TL:DR; If lobsters ask for your help, do so.
I hire them and give them a task somewhere between support engineer that executes well documented code snippets in run books and junior engineer that does very basic CRUD web app development. Making internal dashboards for the customer success team, etc.

Give them about 32 hours of work a week and 8 hours of tutorials on other things. Build them up from there.

I still lose about 35% of them. A combo of firing for lack of ability and the devs getting upset and leaving when promotions and raises come slow. Because the ugly truth is a lot of the bootcampers hit a plateau. I have had a couple push through to my bar for senior, but most cap out in my mid range.

During the shortage the ability to hire and get solid mids out of 65% of them was a net positive. Right now though it is less important given the talent coming into the market.
To me the quote you posted doesn't suggest what you thought, but it's perfectly fair if you interpreted it differently. Cheers.

Another comment suggested an extra rinse cycle.
A small district is also going to be incentivized to spend those resources more wisely. And even large districts with the best intentions end up choked by bureaucracy. Better to have many small districts than a few big ones IMO.

EDIT: When I say "small" I mean relative to huge, metropolitan school districts with many thousand students per grade. I'm not advocating for all districts to be reduced to rural midwestern town sizes.

Kids require more investment today in the first world. 400 years ago you just kind of taught your child your craft, your religion, and your culture and that was their education. Extremely few people went to any sort of school. Raising a child was different. Now there's a level of sensitivity and attention that's necessary to ensure emotional and developmental stability that's much greater than in the past. Kids must be educated through to at least college, sometimes even beyond. There's a globalized economy which children will be competing in, and everything that gives them an advantage makes a difference
The difference with "primed" hot water is pretty crazy for something that seems trivial. I've also found opening the door and jiggling the racks during the drying cycle also makes a pretty big difference (assuming you catch it at the right time--and use heated dry)
> there were, numerically, basically no alt-right people 20 years ago.

Although it's never had a good one, for any reasonable definition of "alt-right people" this isn't true at all. It's the same racist far-right folk as always, just now online (like we all are).

> now regular assholes are being infected by this stuff

Not really. The idea of racist ideology as an infection is dangerous and simply wrong. You could spend all day every day listening to racist propaganda and hate speech and you'll never suddenly wake up thinking some people are better than others because of race. If everyone who listened to hate speech became mind-controlled into being "radicalized" researchers and anti-racist activists who do follow that stuff would have a massive problem, but it doesn't happen. There are people who are vulnerable to falling in with that sort of crowd, but even then it's not the message that hooks them.

> a huge percentage of the information storm coming at me every day is either angry, an outright lie, a reposting of something hateful or untrue and "sunlight" isnt helping anything.

the internet has enabled easy global communication and some of what we get is malicious and manufactured to deceive, but mostly it's a distorted reflection of what people are feeling in real life. Social media platforms encourage the worst in us, and reward exaggerated anger and extreme inflexible positions. That's largely to do with how social media platforms are designed and the algorithms that drive engagement. We don't need massive amounts of censorship to solve that problem.

Sunlight is helping!

I've seen people (even on this site) post information only to be corrected by others. I've even seen some of those people acknowledge that they were wrong and start to question their sources!

Having hate groups in massive online communities made it easier than ever to keep an eye on them. It's enabled us to see what lies were being spread and get fact checks published to increase exposure to the truth before many people were exposed to the lies (research has shown it's far more effective to inoculate people with education before exposure to misinformation than it is to get them to change their mind on something after they've been misled).

Because many of the traitors planning to attack the capitol on Jan 6th were on well known social media platforms like Facebook and Parler police and researchers were able to use those posts to identify and prosecute people they wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

It all comes down to this: You can't fight against something you aren't allowed to see. As long as people are able to communicate (online or offline) they're going to spread misinformation. We shouldn't just sweep it under the rug so that we can pretend the problem is solved. We have to confront it directly and openly even when it's uncomfortable.
Genuinely curious:

(a) Shouldn't the USD then be comparatively volatile relative to goods and services as well?

(b) With the USD (in this case) the de-facto currency for practically all end use cases compared to crypto (ppl need to cash out eventually for practically everything), doesn't this mean that for all practical purposes it's the crypto that's volatile, since it determines the eventual real-life value in USD?

Not aware of that but he always seemed like the kind of CEO who would benefit from a lot less time on social media trying to be a thought leader and a lot more time working on the company.
You maybe be able to reduce this by turning off “background app refresh”.
The WARN act requires 60 days of notification before a mass layoff. So the company can choose to either notify employees 60 days before layoff or pay 60 days of severance pay and layoff immediately.
What are the redistribution methods that should be put in place to avoid poorer districts to be at even a worse disadvantage than when they're mixed up with other level of income?
The latest November Samsung firmware for a phone in front of me has android.uid.system signed by the compromised certificate with SHA256 fingerprint 34df0e7a9f1cf1892e45c056b4973cd81ccf148a4050d11aea4ac5a65f900a42. This certificate is provided by com.samsung.android.svcagent version 6.0.01.6 which is also signed with the same compromised 34df0e7a9f1cf1892e45c056b4973cd81ccf148a4050d11aea4ac5a65f900a42 certificate. The latest version of com.samsung.android.svcagent I could find is 7.0.00.1[1] which has a creation date of 2 September 2022 and also provides the compromised 34df0e7a9f1cf1892e45c056b4973cd81ccf148a4050d11aea4ac5a65f900a42 certificate.

On top of that, at least for the S21 series Samsung phones in their Common Criteria evaluated mode seemingly use the compromised 34df0e7a9f1cf1892e45c056b4973cd81ccf148a4050d11aea4ac5a65f900a42 certificate provided by earlier version 5.0.00.11 of com.samsung.android.svcagent[2]. I couldn't find a published applications list for S22 series phones in Common Criteria mode but suspect com.samsung.android.svcagent 7.0.00.1 from 2 September 2022 would be more recent anyway.

Japanese companies to reduce reliance on China suppliers: Nikkei survey
I think a lot of people don't get past the "learn all the characters first" barrier.

What would really be useful to them (and me) is an app focused on how people really talk, that teaches actually commonly used phrases as well as grammar and vocabulary.

Apps focused on reading often produce people who can read but can't have a conversation. This is one of the main criticisms of the way English is taught in Japan by the way.
Thanks! It's opened up more recently and we're working on adding it. Today it's a special preview for HN readers.
Yup, part of it is definitely that millennials have had it bashed in to them that it's super easy to get pregnant so never have sex without precautions and only stay thinking about having kids when you're "ready".
Many millenials wait until they're thirty and probably think that they should be able to get pregnant in one or two months, when it can easily take half a year. At least that was my own personal experience trying to get pregnant. It became pretty stressful after trying a few cycles with no result.
That writing was hard to get through. Is Slate always written in this style? It reads like a teen magazine
Honestly, if it's true that the Android security model allows an OEM-signed app to escalate privileges, Google should always be monitoring OEM-signed apps on the Play store very carefully. There shouldn't be more than a few hundred of them. Can't be that hard.

And when installing a OEM-signed app, instead of the normal permissions dialogue, there should be a giant red warning that says the app can basically root your device. If the OEMs don't like it, they can set up a second key pair with no privilege escalation capability to sign updates for most of their apps (the ones that don't need elevated privileges).
I can’t read the article but it makes sense that the school districts are too big as they’re a function of county and city level bureaucracy, proportional to size.

One fact about schools is that special Ed kids require far more money per student than so called regular kids.

You combine this with the fact that those who have kids with needs will correctly advocate for their kids vocally and the issue is very salient, you get more politics around the issue resulting in more people and larger districts.

Your particular concern about this “issue” will likely align with whether or not you think cities should be large and have commensurately large governments.

I changed careers with a bootcamp. I’d say about 20% of the class was “hire-able”. But everyone “graduated”.

A number of us has made good careers of it, but yeah the largest % were not capable. It was so bad it made the camp pretty painful at times.

After graduating I was worried about walking into a skeptical audience after they encountered some of my classmates….
Everyone's got an opinion about education. Those are free. Evidence? We don't need no steenkin' evidence!

"A movement to standardize and professionalize K-12 education began in the Progressive Era. Consolidation may have accomplished some of its goals, but America’s largest districts today tend to be among the lowest-performing."

Especially never mind The Journal of Educational Research [https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/vjer20] The experts at the Wall Street Journal will be fair and balanced. This year, size is the problem.

"I been to school myself and I don't need them pointy-heads to tell me what's wrong."
Wow, I really like this app. The way you've done this, it's extremely visually appealing, it's well designed and from the start I felt productive in learning where I'm weakest with my Japanese writing.

I was judging the tx cost from this: https://ycharts.com/indicators/ethereum_average_transaction_...
A possible way this occurred was through a hacker compromising a bunch of OEMs like Samsung and LG.

If that's your threat model, "don't sideload" seems insufficient as a response. A hacker who's able to steal the private keys of Samsung and LG (the "crown jewels") may also be able to replace the official apps they upload to the Play store with apps that contain malware.

Plus if I understand other comments correctly, a stolen key allows the thief to privilege escalate from "ability to issue an update for a fart app on your phone" to "ability to root your device".

So if you're serious about security, I would uninstall apps very aggressively, especially apps from the affected OEMs. You can fool around with fart apps on a separate device if you want.
Sigh. More time has passed since the writing of that retro computing article and now, than between the launch of the computer and the article. Feeling old.

Apple also controls the web browser on iOS, and has specifically avoided implementing features that would allow making useful offline webapps. They also do not let other browser vendors (Chrome / Firefox / etc) publish full browser engines with any of those features on the app store.

You can't run any sort of background code (webworkers etc). You can't have a split-view for a progressive web-app on iPad. You can't have notifications.

The lack of notifications is a big one, and one of the things that makes such apps mostly non-starters.
I suspect being out of touch with everyday people has more to do with the kind of environment you’re living in than the size of the city.

For example, I suspect a high tech worker earning a high salary is far more likely to interact with average people living in an apartment building in NYC taking the subway (or even an Uber or yellow cab) to places, buying random stuff from the neighboring bodega and popping into the local dive under the building, then the same high tech worker living in the suburbs of a small town completely cut off from everybody except for the people they meet in the places they drive to, which will likely be a curated list of places where they’re more likely to come across like minded people.
You can do some basic analysis about your assumption: go pick out a bunch of the CVEs and look at the age and style of the source code.

Another approximation is to look at the Android source tree to see what proportion of it is as old as you assume in your argument. There are 431 results for a search `"Copyright 200" filepath:.\.cpp`. There are 7465 results for `"Copyright 201" filepath:.\.cpp`. 4152 results for `"Copyright 202" filepath:.\.cpp`. 220 for 2012, 354 for 2011. If you exclude tests the ratio is even less favorable for your theory.

In case you're wondering the project policy is to add a copyright header at the time the file is created, they do not update years in headers arbitrarily. As a spot check the first file matching "Copyright 200" that wasn't just essentially C code wrapped in extern "C" was: external/angle/src/libANGLE/Config.cpp. This file contains the use of std::make_pair.

You can perform these searches yourself here: https://cs.android.com/search?q=%22Copyright%20200%22%20file...

I was a bootcamp grad that was hired for a junior level role (5 years ago)

It was rough at first but I had a chip on my shoulder and voluntarily worked 10-11 hours a days for 2 years straight to make up the time difference and learn all the things I needed to learn

I was a good hire (and was also bored AF living in Ohio)
There’s no inherent problem. Usually opponents create hypothetical scenarios in which corrupt entities funnel money away from public schools, which is a valid concern, but isn’t an inherent property of school choice.

If you are lucky enough to have a local small bakery near you, then they might use paper bags (mine does), or you can take your own bag. If you only have supermarkets, you can buy things like baguettes, Italian loaves, and sourdough from the deli area inside many supermarkets, and those sometimes come in paper bags, but you have to check whether the paper bag is lined with plastic.
The BPPE was formed because California was the world capital of diploma-mills in the 80's. It falls under consumer protection, similar to how California has a special bureau that punishes scummy "extended warranty" companies.

The reason you register is so the state can periodically check your marketing material and field students complaints. For example, Lambda School lied about how many students get jobs, and it would have been real nice for the agency to have stepped in before the lawsuits, which are still in litigation.
At first I could not figure out from the article what's so inherently bad about large school districts. The author is pretty vague about it, concerned about "bureaucracy" and some nebulous feeling from parents: "parents and taxpayers feel they have no ability to influence them." But what exactly are these supposedly disenfranchised parents trying unsuccessfully to achieve? These voices that aren't being heard: what are they saying? The author doesn't even hint at it until deep within the text:

> Public schools are valuable not only because they teach young people reading or job skills but because they enable communities to pass their values on to the next generation.

Uh oh.. Here we go... I'm not going to put words in the author's mouth, and he deftly avoids actually talking in specifics about what these guys want, but we've all heard it before. All you have to do is go to Youtube and search "school board meeting argument" and you'll get to hear rant after rant from that side's best and brightest. This is a pretty sneaky submarine article for vouchers, pubic funding for religious schools, religious homeschooling, and the sugar-coated, more marketable "School Choice" label they're using these days. Large school districts are accountable to a broader, more diverse population, and subsequently aren't as vulnerable to being captured by a small local enclave of fundies.
Worth noting the author's warning on TMoPI: "This online novel contains strong language and extreme depictions of acts of sex and violence." This is very much not a routine notice, and it runs the gamut from elder abuse to self-mutilation to suicide to torture to necrophilia to drug abuse to underage sex. It is fascinating, but it is a story of deeply unhealthy people doing deeply unhealthy things.

I say this as someone who appreciated it enough to buy it hardcopy.
