> The second [teacher / student relationships] is at times encouraged by popular culture when the genders are reversed (female teacher / male student)

Do you have any evidence of this? I have never ever heard anyone seriously encouraging relationships between adults and minors, or between someone in a position of authority with someone they have authority over.

But then I only started school in the 1970s, so perhaps these things were acceptable in an earlier era or in a country that I’m unfamiliar with. Regardless, today such things are absolutely unacceptable, and as someone who currently works in high school sports I can state from first hand experience just how seriously such matters are taken.

> Your feelings about the church overshadows reality be reenforces how much of a taboo a priest having any form of sexual pleasure is.

I have no “feelings” about the Catholic Church, beyond what the evidence has shown them to be. And their systematic child abuse, in many countries and for many MANY years, is a matter of public record.

You can always get a lugged custom steel frame, especially in the US. It isn't going to be a bargain, but it will be specially taylored for your body. Otherwise there's Crust, All-City, Rivendell or other quality brands. Or Surly if you want the cheaper overbuilt stuff. See the links below for inspiration.

He said that it was, for example, “daunting [for] even a fair-minded person with the world’s best technology and infinite staffing budget” to distinguish between appropriately sceptical vaccine research and conspiracy theories that charge “the people who make these vaccines are just trying to get rich, even [if] they cause net negative health effects”.

Not having exception is not having incorrect code i.e. code that does not throw. This is very hard to do in languages that naturally throws exception like Java or C/C++. If you have errors as part of the contract however...now you can be sure (or surer) that the function you are calling does not fail.
The original LLV was designed as a custom body atop the Chevrolet S-10, including using the original drivetrain. Everything aside from the body comes from the S-10, hence why they were able to keep them on the road for so long.

Even as simple as it was, the LLV was a major departure from the Jeep DJ-S, which was just a modified right hand drive Jeep CJ-5 with a sliding side door. In both cases the off the shelf parts available directly from the manufacturers extended the service of first two official USPS mail trucks well beyond their intended lives. Something which is unlikely with Oshkosh given the heavily custom nature of it. Refits to the LLV have included buying drop-in replacement LED headlights to replace the original square sealed beams since the form factor is a standardized part shared across the entire automotive industry from the 1970s onwards. Meanwhile the headlight assemblies for the NGDV are custom made, from the shrouds to the LED driver boards (an expensive problem shared with most headlights these days). We may have a similar problem to the Cadillac XLR's taillights where the driver boards make it infeasible to replace them.

A Cross Check with a flat or alt bar and 30 mm of spacers underneath? That or the Soma Doublecross without all the spacers. The main triangle and the fork are build from heat treated Tange Prestige tubes like some of the ATB frames of the '80s and '90s, unlike the Surlys which are built from utilitarian 4130 chromoly. Or the new Disc Trucker with extended head tube and the new Truck Stop riser drop bars. They shortened the chainstays and it no longer rides like barge unloaded, like the previous model.

The four colour theorem does generalize to infinite planar graphs, in the sense that if an infinite graph can be embedded in the plane without overlaps, then a four-colouring is possible. It's a straightforward consequence of the compactness theorem for propositional logic, which I set as an exercise for my students when I teach the topic.
I really like this model of human behavior and I subscribe to it myself. It's how I explain why some people become pathological liars - because it worked well in the past.
I did not think that the point of the article is to complain about award withholding from Asian students.. although the attribution of race seems misplaced.

I thought the point was about the loss of meritocracy and the redefinition of what it means to fail. And grading work on a 50-100 scale.. you really don't think that's weird?

I think what you’re missing in a lot of these comments is that AI doesn’t need to operate at the peak of human intelligence like Ramanujan in order to absolutely gut a lot of job markets.

Like, most developers aren’t writing proofs that a series converges to pi or building Apollo modules where everything has to work perfectly. I’m not gonna act like what we do is easy, because it’s not. However I’ll never forget the day I wrote a WebGL shader in GLSL with Copilot’s help, and then clicked over from a GLSL file to a JS file and Copilot immediately wrote the code to create a THREE.ShaderMaterial, import my shader (with the right file path) and filled out the uniform names and types perfectly on the first try. It took under 2 seconds, and at the datacenter maybe a fistful a watts, and it left me fucking speechless.

I’ll admit it’s pretty weird that these models can write working code in a multi-language codebase but can’t add two four digit numbers. They’re almost savant-like the way they fail at basic tasks while excelling at more complex ones. But given that they are in fact excelling at complex tasks, I’m worried about what could happen if, say, every enterprise dev shop laid off 60% of their headcount and kept the remaining 40% just to do code review. That would be very bad for everyone in the industry.
You are in an interesting position. It is very likely that you will quit any job you get as soon as you encounter difficulties due to your financial safety net. All jobs have difficult times, so you cannot avoid it. I have seen this happen a number of times. A woman I knew would get a job only to quit when she encountered a problem because she could rely on her parents to financially support her if she needed money.

I suggest you find a job in an area of interest and set some long-term goals beforehand for when you will quit if things do not go your way. Make sure you do not get caught in a cycle of getting a job and quitting.The advantage you have is that you do not need to

When exceptions are used for actual exceptional cases, that is both slower in the happy path (as you are having to add a ton of comparisons for the error case, vs. zero-cost exceptions as are now commonly deployed) and more verbose (though Rust has been working to mitigate this over the years, they still failed to realize the people who made the kind of error object popular also designed an abstraction for monads and a syntax sugar that made using the result/either object "look like" exceptions) than exceptions.
The solution to this in Canada seems to be to allow a lot of immigrants from poorer countries, willing to live two to a bedroom. Fast food places, Walmart, and other places are now fully staffed thanks to that policy. I know for a fact that it's the case, because in my town it's a very large demographic change from recognizable ethnicity where 5 years ago there was almost none. Unfortunately Canada is a a very expensive place to live, and living 2 to a bedroom is how they can make the pay work.

The problem is exceptions have entirely opaque flow control. They're the opposite of a goto statement: a comes-from statement if you will. Flow control could originate literally anywhere down the stack and that makes reasoning about what's happening very difficult. Depending on the language it can also have a super broad and ever-changing surface area.
Not sure I'd agree. In my limited experience its a hassle with tons of different error types that need converting. You end up converting LibAError to LibBError, etc. Thats tedious so many people use `thiserror` or `anyhow`, where `anyhow` just hides the error types behind a `&dyn Anyhow::error` or whatnot. Since stable Rust lacks compile time or runtime introspection its difficult to figure out whats wrapped up in the dyn Trait without knowing ahead of time.

Inside a single library its not too bad. You get probably an enum type with some errors. But adding stacktraves or anything is a pain if possible at all.

Netflix (and most of the other streaming services) are dying because they no longer focus on customer experience, but on management goals.

The other big piece - especially to the hospitality puzzle - is that immigration was substantially reduced. First politically and then due to Covid. If you look at the number of work visas issued by year, we’re short literally millions of immigrants that would be doing much of the grunt work in restaurants and hotels.
Completely agree with this. Most recently I had this feeling with Unity; I deeply tried to learn and understand it for a few months, only to be stymied at every time by obvious, critical bugs that it didn't seem like anyone else was even encountering.

My suspicion is that most people who engage with Unity are amateur engineers. Nothing wrong with that, of course.
I mentioned Livejournal, Wordpress, and Dreamwidth. Yes, it was possible to get banned from these large hosts. But that was an extreme action, and the people with the power to do that were seen as quite distinct from the much smaller communities on the platform.

No-one at the particular social rank of a Mastodon server admin existed in that world - an elevated position that has powers that regular users don't, but nevertheless interacts directly with the user community. And that really does change the social dynamics a lot. (Some other platforms did have comparable roles - BBS operators, forum mods - and I don't think it's coincidence that they tended to have more drama)

That’s what is a massive issue I see in the EU even if it’s underreported; too many people I know cannot work because of long covid. Some tried anyway and burnt out because of trying too hard; now they have 2 problems. Luckily most of them are in NL where you won’t end up in a tent under a bridge, but I think long covid is taken way too light (at least over here).

Tangent: U.FL connectors. Gawd, they suck. I was pleasantly surprised to see U.FL removal tool in the write up. The female connectors have at best 10 mating cycles in my experience. By using the such removal tool you may get dunno 20 if you are super careful. I killed GSM and GPS antennas with single or second try detaching.

From wikipedia article of Hirose U.FL:

Female U.FL connectors are not designed with reconnection in mind, and they are only rated for a few reconnects (approximately 30 mating cycles[5]) before replacement is needed.
They still do this. It sucks.

Yes.

I’m not a film producer, so I’m not in a position to insist on that sort of thing.
I too have suffered through the conflict between emotions 1 and 2.

My resolution is to treat charitable / volunteer work as being my pay-it-forwards contribution to society.

Then I consider commercially viability of any project as the measure of the value it produces and delivers. I simply see money as an exchange for value delivered. The greater the value, the greater the revenue.

I have undertaken many hobby projects. For these, there is zero expectation of making money. The reward is in the experience / learning. When the pleasure ceases I drop them. There is no sense of obligation to continue because it always was meant to be for personal satisfaction.
I think it has more to do with the artificial boost in resolution not matching the “native” resolution of what the film grain would be in actual film.

Lots of stuff looks wrong with higher resolution and framerate, it’s not the thing (like grain) is inherently wrong, it’s just being done poorly.

> Many IRC networks evolved to have some form of identity verification through nickserv

Some IRC networks do, but it's always an ad-hoc extension. IRC qua IRC doesn't.

> there were many umbrella servers that would be used for various communities to call home in a proto-Discord world.

Did those have channels that passed blacklists around and would ban you on other channels' say-so, or because you were in channels they didn't like? I'm sure there were some channels that did, but it certainly wasn't seen as a positive.

> They maintained a blacklist of hosts that were compromised in case of spyware, or if users were particularly prolific and abusive across networks.

That's not the same thing at all. I'm talking about getting banned on one server just because you joined another server.

I frequently create a new account so that I can post freely. I always try to post substantively, though of course a reader may disagree with this self-assessment. Were new accounts required to wait if either:

1. Create a new account every so often, so that in the event that I see a topic I’d like to comment on, I’m not precluded.

2. Just not post.

Were 2 to apply to a great many people I fear HN would be worse off. And anyway committed assholes would just take door number 1.

OK, you made me look at that channel again. I thought WKRP was on at 5:30 (remember the days when you could only watch a show when it was "on"?) but it turns out it was 9:30 today.

The closing music was custom, I think. So maybe they are just using the non-problematic episodes.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding Mastodon servers where the admins go on stupid power-trips. But there's nothing in the whole system working against you just standing your own instance up, or, for that matter, running 10 concurrent accounts different servers, like RSS feeds in Google Reader. It just doesn't seem like a real issue, unlike on Twitter, where it is quite obviously a clear and present issue,.

I’m not a fan of Tesla’s self driving claims either (I specifically avoided a Tesla completely when buying this year) but total deaths seems like the least relevant piece of information that could be used here. It needs some sort of adjustment like at least deaths/mile or similar before throwing up comparisons. As is one can’t tell if this is just like saying cities are ridiculously unsafe because most people die in them vs the rest of the entire world combined or if it’s actually how much worse it is.

> It's about results arriving late and then filtering through what is pretty much a universal hand to hand to students that all school suffer through.

TJ isn’t some neighborhood high school. It sends dozens of kids into Ivy League schools and Cal Tech/MIT every year. The administration is like a well oiled machine in making that happen. In fact, taking the National Merit Scholarship test is completely optional, but TJ makes it mandatory for its students. That’s because the school was very proud of the fact that the Washington Post would publish the list, and local schools would have a few each and TJ would have 150+: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/2002/11/14/stud....

The National Merit Scholarship results have been distributed to schools the same way for decades. TJ always publicized the results to students promptly (and not by sending an email to some account nobody ever checks). I remember when the results came out my year, it was announced publicly and everyone went to check the list. The fact that TJ downplayed it the last couple of years reflects an ideological change, not some administrative mixup.

> Do you not read your own countries media? Have you not seen the baseless hysteria over trans people, "woke history", etc?

We’re talking about education. Simple question: In your country, do you have people trying to get rid of standardized testing on the theory that it’s “racist?”
Yup, there's no dilemma among the potential prisoners here -- the best policy is to "do the rat thing".
