If you're suggesting that the University of Bologna was secular (not religious) in the 11th century, then that is misleading.

> then hired scholars from the city's pre-existing lay and ecclesiastical schools to teach them subjects such as liberal arts, notarial law, theology, and ars dictaminis (scrivenery)

> The university is historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law

Please note the phrases .. ecclesiastical schools .. & .. teaching of canon ..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bologna

It seems reasonable religion (as we define it today) & culture were intertwined to a far greater degree in 10th-15th century Europe in ways similar to Nalanda & Al-Qarawiyin in their times.

It does not seem simple to define exactly when all these institutions passed that rubicon that separates "religious schools" from what the word "university" means.

This is good news! If a food is low in macronutrients like protein, fats, and carbohydrates, then it's low in calories by definition. Score!

Dude comes out as a bit alarmist but not enough for it to get flagged

In France issues of race have direct outcomes on healthcare, for example there is a very difficult line when recommending medical care based on racial predisposition to medical disorders. For example, communicating that there are elevated rates of sickle cell anemia in blacks, leaves medical professionals struggling for words at the detriment of those groups that would benefit from treatment.
They make them not price competitive. Which is a classic thing that regulation does. Less regulation here would have been better.
Where are all these "0–1 Years Experience" salary averaging at $145k/year? Is this really an average? (see page 29)
Dirty secret: many people get help from their parents to get over the hump of the initial down payment.

IMO, that is the best use of an inheritance: helping kids secure assets earlier rather than later, which sets up the rest of their life.
ah yes. fortunately early starts are being debated as being a really bad idea, so that will hopefully go away for most students in the future. and i really like the "boring meeting" analogy. that makes so much sense. i didn't experience it like that, but i can totally see that happening, same with crazy homework which is really ridiculous. good point there. there is no homework at work. i found that aspect really liberating. except for deadlines. (but those make a cool wooshing sound when they pass by)
This is the sentiment that caused Sid Meyer to create Civilization.

Before Covid, there's sections of my city where you could either A) put 500K down + have 1M in outstanding mortgage (whatever that payment was) + 1600/month taxes + 1600/month condo fees or B) Rent a place in the same building for $4K/Month for similar sized apartment

The upper levels of government can and should correct the failures of the lower levels which are captive to local homeowner interests.

The ideea that you can eject the state from regulating the use of a resource with so many externalities is a pipe dream, you either get some sort of favela or the residents re-invent a much more exclusionary and bigoted version of the state, for example the HOA.
FY = fiscal year

accruals: Larger companies especially do accounting on an accrual basis. So what most matters is when the service was delivered or the product sold--not when the cash was received. (Large companies care about cash flow too but cash is king at small companies.)

Basically what's being asked is "In what ways does our cash balance not reflect our income and expenses?" Perhaps more common would be ask about bookings but accruals is broader.
Saying that proper university did not exist before 11th century is disingenuous at its best and propaganda at its worst.

It's like saying there is no proper engineering existed before civil engineering (civilian engineering) while military engineering has existed since time immomerial.

There were numerous institutions of higher learning or universities in Muslim Spain, Middle East and Italian Sicily that the latter was at the time under Muslim rule before Norman's conquest. The latter universities in Sicily then spilled over to the rest of Italy as many degree granting medical schools and other schools were established including the infamous Schola Medica Salernitana [1]. The irony is that in the English Wikipedia entry mentioned it as the first of its kind even though it's probably another copycat as it's jointly founded by the Christian, Jews and Muslim scholars at the time.

Ever wondered why all degrees granting universities using Arabic styled robe during graduation?

English and France are even more honest by using the word Bachelor and Baccalauréat, respectively as their degree names with both of the words literally mean degree granting in Arabic.

SC4 doesn't simulate residents at all, merely statistics. Even a single SC4 map is as large as one in CS, regions can be much, much bigger.
> Bologna .... It invented the term "University" (from universitas magistrorum et scholarium).

So, if something meets the requirements before a word was coined to describe a set of those requirements cannot be retroactively called that?

So, for example Mathematics before the word Mathematics was coined is just mumbo jumbo. Got it!

The post I was replying to made zero comments on the accessibility and simply offered that there was "no reason to do this" and a waste of company resources

I was replying to the fact there obviously are reasons to do this. Whether or not they did it well is another matter and I don't use Wise so I have nothing to add to that. I generally agree that modern web technologies are in an increasingly sorry state, but once again this has nothing to do with the design itself (the subject of the article and the subject being criticized) but rather the tech stack/implementation

You can take a look at www.qovery.com
It provides an Heroku like experience but runs on your cloud account (aws, scaleway or digital ocean).

They build on existing tech that is already working, so it is more stable.
I think this whole category is interesting, from the next-gen PaaS to the cloud-native ecosystem. Totally empathize with how hard what fly is doing in terms of scale and reliability is.

At Coherence (withcoherence.com) we're focused on a developer experience layer on top of AWS/GCP. You might describe it as flyctl for AWS.

Where does the misalignment between what the customer thinks they want, and what they actually want fit in to your philosophy? Google Spanner is a great example of this because who doesn't want instantaneous global writes? It's just that, y'know, there's a ton of businesses, especially smaller ones, that don't actually need that. The smarter customers realize this themselves, and can judge the premium they'd pay for Spanner over something far less complex. What I'm getting to is that sales is a critical company function to bridge the gap between what customers want, and what customers actually need, and for you to make money.

The first releases of EBS weren't very good and took a while to get to where we are. Some places still avoid using EBS due to bad experience back in 2011 when it was first released.

> 30 year fixed rate mortgage at 7%

Q1: Why would one use that rate to compare?

and

Q2: Who here has ever paid that high a rate on their mortgage? We sure haven't! Signed our current floating rate 25 year mortgage back in 2008, so far the only great financial decision we've made.

My feeling is that cheap money has seeded a bunch of problems all over society, not just in the housing markets.
"Those who don't know what to say quote adages" is a common saying.
Very thorough rollout. Thanks!
So variable, not fixed. Fixed means fixed over the term of the loan. As soon as you recalculate interest rates, it is not longer fixed by any definition.

Nothing wrong with variable rates in certain circumstances but you can't call a 5/5 ARM fixed.

> I really just want nice pre-built components to use.

> Every single new framework has so many edge cases that just wear you down. Styled Components and Emotion seemed so great, but just so many freaking edge cases, and perf issues.

It seems like you're talking about two different things, you say you want pre-built components but then you say you're using Tailwind, Styled Components and Emotion which are simply ways of writing CSS differently, not based on pre-built components.

Personally I like using Vanilla Extract which uses TypeScript instead of Sass and then compiles down to CSS so no runtime cost like Styled Components and Emotion.

I use it with Radix UI which has headless components I can then style pretty easily.

If you want purely pre-built components, you could try something like Tamagui which apparently is quite fast too.

On site daycare would be revolutionary.

My wife used to work at a company who offered it and there was a lottery to get into the daycare because it was so popular. The company ran it at a slight profit so there was no cost involved to the company. People arrived on time since they didn't need to make a side trip to a third location, and could visit their kid at lunch or if they were sick or whatever. Huge, huge bonus as a parent.
But why does everything cost twice as much as somewhere else? Perhaps living there itself is the wealth. Access to high paying jobs, rubbing shoulders with other high achievers, the weather, the beach, the mountains, year round fruits and vegetables, better labor laws etc.

As the saying goes “I would rather be dead in <X> than live in <Y>”.
One could argue that if e.g. FTP is not working behind the NAT then the NAT is misconfigured. NAT needs to aware of certain protocols so that it can modify the application layer data.

Of course, if the protocol added workaround for NAT and NAT is modifying that application layer data then it can cause another set of issues.

It's not about ‶controlling the machines″, it's about running `nix-shell -p our-project` and having the same setup on my OpenSuse than Jack on his Arch, Herman on his mac, Johann on her Debian, and our prod environment on RHEL.

That's a force multiplier in dev & prod, not a hindrance.
Sure, and I didn't claim that Czechia is the same as US in this regard. I'm merely pointing out that you can have a country with a gun culture that, among other things, enables personal self-defense without all the associated problems that US has which people often assume are intrinsic to gun ownership and defensive use.

I disagree that the situation in US has nothing to do with healthcare and social safety net, though. For example, suicides constitute most gun deaths in general, but this is worse in US because of its generally poor situation with preventative health care, especially mental health care. Similarly, poor social safety net means a lot more people ending up in poverty, which drives up crime including violent gang clashes that cause the majority of gun-related deaths in US. This isn't to say that the prevailing attitudes among American gun owners do not contribute to the problem, either - but I'm sure that, if US would catch up with e.g. Canada when it comes to taking care of its own population, the numbers would strongly reflect that.

And yes, it is ironic and sad that support for RKBA is strongest on the right, which is also the cause for all this. It's not exclusively them, though. The running joke on the subject in many hard left spaces is that "if you go far enough left, you get your gun rights back".
Efficient by what metric? Calories? Weight? Profitability?

The problem is that due to the system of water rights and allocations, California is effectively subsidizing Saudi Arabia by selling water to local farmers at below market rates. Thus we have a water shortage which impacts everyone while benefiting only a tiny number of farmers.

Glad you liked the analogy! Yes, keeping this in mind is useful for developers, not just product people. It's tempting to fix or automate things that don't need it. I think there is a meme that goes "I could have done this in 2 minutes, but I chose to spend 2 days automating it instead." Sums it all up :-)
This is the best app I've see. Are there any better alternatives to it?
I have the feeling that I'm missing something here. Reading the headline, I expected a real, genuine and directly applicable advantage for a software engineer. But I couldn't find it.

While it leads to an interesting life for sure, I don't see how the writer's suggestions (or your suggestions) make for an unfair advantage for any particular role in tech.

Your examples also don't map to a direct advantage in a tech career. If you'd say that it helps indirectly and in intangible ways, then perhaps, yes. But in interviews I did, the lessons from your examples would not have helped. (I'm an iOS software engineer, by the way).

I go one further - the IoT VLAN (Sonos, Philips Hue, wifi controlled light strips, TV's) is hard segmented from my "trusted" VLAN (except for some specific holes punched so things like SSDP and streaming from a media server work).
I think there are many RoR projects that continue to run, so probably demand still there - we've been maintaining several RoR projects for 7+ years. Recently we've stepped into several JS projects that have 2-3 competing JS frameworks in the same project. Any project becomes difficult to maintain over time without a continuous and thoughtful investment of time, but at least Rails doesn't have that particular problem of framework churn (even if parts of it may change as a whole it has an upgrade path that is well trodden). We do a lot of React/Next.js etc. work, but for the most part Rails is what we reach for (maybe with a sprinkling of React) when we have a standard web project, ie. most of them.

Capital comes in many form, and money is just one. Probably most problematic in times of strife.

Assets, in particular high value, portable or hard to destroy ones, that are easy to defend, or skills that are very hard to replace without destroying you or their value.

Military is strong mostly due to the assets it has - obedient manpower and destructive hardware.
The problem is, however, that using these assets destroys value in the medium term, not creates.

A factory making guns is worth much more than guns themselves. People who know how to operate it, as well.
A working mine is worth more than a mountain.

Every conqueror wants submission and instead reaps destruction.
I'm thinking about improving model response quality.

Training of preexisting LLM models that I'm familiar with consists of two aspects/sides/options: fine-tuning the model with additional, domain specific data (like internal company documentation) and RLHF (like comparing model responses to customer service actual responses) to further improve how well it's using that and original resources it has access to. That's how https://github.com/CarperAI sets up the process, for example.

What you're describing seems closer to the latter, but I'm not entirely sure if you're following the same structure at all.
If I worked on this, I would quietly build in the safeguards, and when the bot inevitably goes full Nazi a few days after the release and after Elon freaks out, I would claim that it will take about 10 days to fix, kick back, and then turn it on.

Interesting issues. Nothing surprising for anyone who’s run a global SaaS before, especially if growth has been incredibly fast. I find the gripes about Consul, Nomad, and Vault interesting since it sounds like the problems are mainly due to poor architectural decisions. Fly is rewriting those tools rather than invest in deploying them properly and in the process are running into new issues that those tools have already solved, which doesn’t give me confidence that the path forward will be any less bumpy.
