They are.
But outside some specific ones, a (good) univeristy education is still better.

Judging from the comment further down, I also assume that they are talking more about social class of students reflecting in the student bodies.

Which I can't confirm. I studied at a University that's by all measures one of the best in Germany and we had people from all social levels.
Having no tuition at all, makes this easy.
And from what I hear from Americans is very true for the US.

I agree with the clarification in the other comment, that we split/filter education significantly too early in young lifes. And while there are various way for "a second approach to education" there's way less help for older people than during youth/direct/first education paths.

It's the opposite for me, the keybindings are the best feature IMO. It's like all the niggling little things that didn't make sense back when learning the Vim keybindings, have all been removed and replaced with things that make more of a coherent whole.

I can't use it yet because of the lack of addons/an ecosystem, but I hope to one day either move to helix or bring as much of this sensible keybindings system over to neovim as possible.

I just don't buy this happening for software engineers. I feel AI will always need human supervision with a human guiding the AI who lacks the wider context that a human can gather. I have really enjoyed doing some coding recently with GPT on some front end stuff, which is where I suck (I am a backend / systems engineer). GPT taught me a lot, but it soon got itself in a lot of trouble and had I not intervened a bug ridden project would have been made. I realise the tech will improve, but I just can't see it faring well on its own without a human holding its hand and feeding it with the context that a machine cannot determine on its own. You can see this through where it is strong, writing unit tests - testing is a perfect fit, it can read the various types , functions and methods and determine what the outcome should be, and then write a test to check those outcomes are realised.

Rather than replacing software engineers, I see it being more of an enhancer.

Many engineers will be able to upgrade their productivity and find a lot of use from being able to bounce back and forth with GPT. This was my experience this week, I worked 'with the AI' and every time I got something working it felt like a shared high five moment.

Us being out of work? Nah, this sounds like the same sentiment before that calculators and then computers were going to make accounting a job of the past.

> almost every time ChatGPT falsely asserts it "cannot" do something or simply lies (1).

Fun story: ChatGPT, if directly faced with empirical evidence that it can do something that OpenAI made it say it can’t do, (for example, by causing the model to lie about itself by poisoning the input corpus with falsehoods about ChatGPT’s own capabilities), it cannot grasp that there’s a paradox.

Good job, OpenAI.

Source? I’m not aware wages on average increased during the pandemic.

I have the same thing. And it is happening today. It is tough.

Currency stability is a relative and psychological issue; for someone in Russia, people holding USD are crazy adventurers, as value of US dollar fluctuated from 120 rubles to 50 and now back to 76, all within a year. For a Bitcoiner, a USD hodler irresponsibly lost 99% of his savings within a few years.
I just spent 20 minutes flying to various airports I've been to in person. Curious to see space/gate/terminal efficiency and closeness from one central point at eg DUS and FRA with the evolution that is LHR.

LUX and LCY are also interesting: comparable max passenger numbers of 4M-5M, LUX has 2x> as many weekend slots as LCY, presumably similar clientel (though LUX does more hub flights I reckon), and very different space and layout constraints.
Then why fear from authorities/state?
It seems like the basis for your comment is weird stack tribalism that you’ve very evidently bought into, rather than anything actually…worth discussing.

It then comes as no surprise that throughout your entire comment you didn’t seem willing you yield any ground to Python or Django at all.

It then comes as no surprise that your assertions about Django are counter to my experience, as someone that by the sound of things has worked with Django a lot more than you have.

I have only worked on one production Django project that *didn’t^ use Django’s auth system. And the fact that you call Django’s generic class-based views “scaffolding” - a term that I seldom hear in Django spaces but hear all the time in Rails spaces - further speaks to your lack of familiarly. Most production Django projects I’ve worked on have made extensive use of either these generic class-based views or the Django REST Framework analogues, which - whilst not part of core Django - still speak to the usefulness of the pattern.

It honestly sounds like your experience with Django - if any - has been treating it like Rails. Which - honestly - is mostly fine. In my eyes, the frameworks are comparable in…most ways. But your assertion that these batteries are thrown away in production contexts is just wrong. Unless you want to tell me that I’ve spent ~a decade earning a living working with Django and somehow not managed to do any “real” work, perhaps consider the global applicability of your personal experience.

It’s really disappointing to see the re-uprising of Ruby (and Elixir) developers positioning themselves as the enlightened elite against the hoards of plebeian Python developers. I without a doubt include your comment in this critique. I understand that given Elixir’s increased FP focus that the community can’t avoid FP elitism. Doing it for Ruby though? It’s just cringey. I’ve got no beef with Ruby, Rails, or the development communities of either, except for the fact that people are feeling the need to pick up this ridiculous turf war.

Given that Python is my daily driver, Python spaces are where I’m usually active in. Ruby is seldom mentioned. Whenever I go to a Python-related HN thread, I don’t have to scroll far to see some Ruby developer making some thinly veiled assertions that Python developers are un enlightened idiots. If I look at a Ruby thread, there’s always someone salty about not being able to get the Python drones on their team to use the One True Language. It feels like I’ve gone back in time 15 years.

Yes, prices can rise broadly due to oil prices rising, but they come back down when oil prices drop.

And the price rise isn't because the currency is less valuable, so its not the type of inflation that concerns economists - the kind that drives consumers to spend rather than save or invest.

Just like the converse - if energy costs dropped due some new technology, it’s not deflationary (each dollar is worth more than before).
Real estate is the only asset that is absolutely limited in quantity. With all other businesses you can compete if you are smart and resourceful, with real estate you have to first pay those who are sitting on the land. And they all demand a payout like winning the lottery to let go.

In other businesses you have the very common occurrence that an old small/medium size business owner wants to sell his business and retire, but he's stuck because the actual value of his company is close to 0, and any new person is at best interested in the real estate or parts of the inventory. So the old person doesn't sell and the business continues to deteriorate until nothing is left. With real estate it is different, because there's always some old person sitting on it. You can't create it from nothing like you can any other asset.

I'd say that's a feature, and sadly declining. Though I do agree that the early split is questionable at best.

The enormous inflation in degree requirements just makes things harder on everyone.
Most jobs don't require college education in reality.
And there's some benefit in specializing into more practical or more theoretical aspects during secondary ed.

Providing different usable levels and styles of education to everyone is better than trying to get everyone into one shoe. Especially if there's people on the top of that education system benefiting directly from the system because they run an investment fund with an attached education institution.
If an employer requires device registration (MDM etc), they should provide the hardware.

If you can't bypass the Win11 online account requirement by being offline during install, then try this:

In the "Let's connect you to a network" page, use these steps:

* Use the Shift + F10 keyboard shortcut to open Command Prompt.

* Type the following command to release the current network configuration and press Enter: oobe\bypassnro

Note: The command is a single phrase without spaces.

Note2: This will reboot the machine and restart the installer again (why?? because fu for not wanting a MS account that's why)

That could have sooo many reasons. "Berlin Municipal Airport" does come before "Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg" in the alphabet.

But.. looking for "London", 2 of the first 3 airports are in North America and arguably a lot of people would not count any of the first 5 (Lydd, Oxford & Southend) as London. Heathrow doesn't show up at all without specifying further.

Not surprising, I worked on a DOR film and everybody was terrified of him, he's just a psycho. He'd waste so much money, and then got the producers whose job was to reign him in fired. In all likelyhood the financier for Nailed was trying to reign him in too.

He'd reserve the only bathroom in the building only for him, and one time fired the Catering crew over the wrong silverware.
At my current employer there were two or three interviews of 1 hour each and no code test. It felt like a breeze like anybody off the street could get this job with excellent incentive pay. It turns out they are highly selective and interview frequently selecting almost nobody. The most important quality is personality, things like honesty and humility.

I have been writing software for over 20 years and probably interviewed at two dozen places before moving in with the current employer. Here is what I have learned:

* Don’t be awesome. Employment normalizes to a bell curve. Awesome is a less compatible outlier. If you want to be awesome write software outside of work as a hobby and write about the things you learned.

* Be selective. If you are confident in your skills and experience (realistically, not a Dunning-Kruger fantasy) you can afford to be less desperate about who you will work for. High pay is great but maximize for emotional fulfillment.

* Vanity is for the fashion industry. Software is about automation. Many developers never see the distinction. They try to make things into something they aren’t and are miserable and low performing as a result. Conscientiousness is negatively correlated with intelligence so smart people frequently fail hard at this and cannot see it.

* The qualities that are most well rewarded in employee assessments are helpfulness, honesty, and writing. These take time and deliberate action. It also means maximizing mutual respect but simultaneously don’t shy away from hard truths or disagreements.

I'm curious what mitigations against this people would suggest.

- Using a very long passcode? (Harder to shoulder surf)

- Using a third-party password manager instead of keychain (something with its own master password independent of Apple ID); in fact you could store intentionally wrong passwords in keychain as a decoy, heh.

- Configure financial apps to disable passcode authentication, requiring their own password/2FA on every login (this becomes inconvenient though... wonder if they can be configured for FaceID only without passcode auth)

- Some process (doesn't have to run on the phone) for rsyncing iCloud content to another service or NAS.
From their perspective:

Worker cost 50 money. How company get 50 money? Worker not work so much, maybe? How to quantify? What if spy? Company tell IT monkey to give developer monkey spy. Our computer, company can do a little spy. Company catch smoke break. Company catch walk break. Company give worker "performance improvement plan." Company fire worker. Company now have 100 money. Company smart. Company efficient. Company legally protected from retaliation. Company give executive monkey 30 money as reward for small overhead. Company offer manager monkey 7 money. Company offer IT monkey 3 money. Company brag about in annual report.
If AI makes engineers more productive, then it follows that companies will hire fewer engineers for the same work. So AI is making some engineers obsolete.

Technical Advisory – Azure B2C – Crypto Misuse and Account Compromise
I hardly think it's pedantry to point out that if you think higher pressure = better, pressing "gently" is an odd choice.

A full grown adult standing with their full weight on their Aeropress can achieve about 4 bar of pressure; standing at the counter, pressing with one arm as hard as I can, I'm unlikely to achieve more than 1 bar. For context, an espresso traditionally requires 9 bar to properly extract. It's doubtful that that even 1 bar of pressure makes any difference to extraction at all.

But assuming that it does, and you think that pressure is a good thing - why on Earth would you instruct people to press "gently"? Now you're looking at more like 0.1 bar of pressure. That's definitely negligible, certainly not "high pressure" or even "relatively high".

I think it's going to be worse. Boomers think their house is worth million dollars today, but in 5-10 years when more of them start to retire, they will find out that a) millenials and younger can't afford their inflated prices and b) there are no other boomers to trade houses with. So if they rely on their house to be a retirement fund....that might not exist when they actually retire.

Intel MBPs are notorious for this longstanding issue. You can get multiple hardware swaps from Apple and will probably find no improvement.

My layman understanding is that it stems from an issue in voltage management, both on the power rail itself and on the software side.

Certain types of CPU load trigger heavy crackling and popping in the speakers. Having the iOS simulator open makes it particularly egregious in my case.

Add to this that the two prong power bricks mean the chassis grounds through your hands in (worse in low humidity), and in the right building it's a lot of worrying symptoms all at once.

I would find such principled approach to be unproductive. The same could be said about Python, the `.` is equally syntax sugar for passing the object as first argument. So if we take this Pandas code:

df.sort_values('dep_date')
.groupby('name')['duration']
.transform('cumsum')

If we were to pass df as first argument in nested calls, I would find it less readable. But I would also find using variables in this case to be more noise than helpful:

sorted_df = df.sort_values('dep_date')
grouped_duration_df = sorted_df.groupby('name')['duration']
grouped_duration_df.transform('cumsum')

The variables are just repeating some of the information found on the right side and IMO they end up getting in the way of understanding the whole pipeline.

This can be fixed by giving them a headset.

Yes. I don't want to live in a world where my kid sends someone a picture of immigrants on a boat and gets a criminal record. It's just a step between abolishing encryption and this.

Steiner tends to go over my head too! In this case though, I find he does a good interpretation of Eckhart, e.g., this ringed true:

> It can be said that the enlightened human being is the entity that determines good and evil from within. Such individuals cannot do otherwise than accomplish the good. They do not serve the good, instead the good lives within them. "The righteous serve [no one] because they are free. And the closer they are to righteousness, the more they are freedom itself."
I had the same thing happen to me, just because I was added to the parent mailing list for my kids’ school. I wanted to try an Azure service (Codespaces), but was denied.

It took a lot of back and forth with the schools admin to figure out what happened. I was able to get my account released, but I wasn’t brave enough to try what Jeff did.

Like Jeff, this did not leave me impressed with MS Azure at all. How could joining (or being added) to a mailing list imply you are now part of an organization? How does one go from LDAP to that hosted AD mess?
It's not merely about who owns the device though. It is also about the environment a person has to work in and that, I would say, is more relevant here. Do I want to be spied upon while working? No. Do I want to feel like in a surveillance state for 8h of my day? Do I need this feeling in my life? No and no.

> Are universities also failing their students by not offering/requiring a touch-typing class?

Universities make assumptions based on the larger student body as to what requirements are needed for admission. Generally, we assume students can read and write and have general computer literacy, but actually the last assumption is starting to fray a bit; more and more, students are coming into school without basic computer desktop literacy. This hasn't been a problem for decades, as students tended just to pick up skills like touch typing. But today, some students are hard pressed to to save a file to the desktop.

I could see universities might actually have to start adding computer literacy as an entrance requirement, the same way we require basic reading and writing and English speaking, so we don't have to teach those things.
