This is a very unfair and unfounded criticism of the Go maintainers.
I honestly don't think it's always laziness. I liked learning growing up. But the constant pressure and dealing with terrible and awkward social interactions with a peer group that's ravenous to jump on any perceptible slip-up at a time when you're still trying to figure yourself out spoiled it for me. We want to avoid situations that are uncomfortable.

I really think we have different ideas of school based upon our own experiences in it.
The IRS will be incentivized to collect as many tax dollars as possible. That could inform decisions that would end up making it harder for taxpayers to save money. The US does transfer payments via the tax code so doing your taxes is in many ways similar to applying for benefits in other countries.

But that's fine. That would mean that TurboTax would have to provide value by way of minimizing what you owe to the IRS instead of being the easiest way to navigate a complicated process with legal consequences if you make a mistake.
Show HN: Predicting Stock Moves from Keywords in SEC Filings
Pretty sure the generic answer is "unschooling + free range parenting" which already exists.

To be more specific... read books. Get a job (maybe a standard job if 16, maybe mowing lawns if 13, whatever). Spend a day at the local museum. Hang out with your friends at the park fighting each other with sticks. Write a story. Build a table. Voluntarily take classes in things that are actually interesting and useful, and instead of caring about grades see if you can apply/expand on the knowledge. Build a fort in the woods. Learn to sew. I could go on, but I feel like you get the point.

Early education is basically day care so I can see it making sense for kids that need supervision and don't have basic skills yet (literacy, skepticism). But a well-adjusted ~13 year old should have stuff to do that's way more important than school.

"Falling behind on the education system" is a product of the current system, not an end in itself. I don't want to make adults that know how to sit still and tolerate the system, I want to live with people who are actively engaged with the world.

A reasonable criticism of this is that very disruptive or malicious kids might get away with more BS. The school system as it currently is doesn't prevent bullying, but some of the current "enforcement power" would definitely have to deal with kids that abuse it.
Hey HN,

This is a side project I've been working on for a few months as a way to learn Python. I'll call this the MVP stage, so please let me know what you think.
US needs an open software and open hardware mandate.
We did loose money, but not because we made a business mistake but because our business parter (the tenant) screwed us.

Protecting against such events in the future would mean extra expenses passed on to the other tenants. There is no free lunch here. If the tenants are causing extra damage, then it will cost them more in the end, pushing the market prices up.
> Nigeria possesses the largest population of out-of-school learning youths in the world.

I didn't mean to say people don't skip school here, I meant they don't skip because of anxiety...It's usually poverty-related issues or the parents just not caring because they aren't formally educated. For instance, I personally know a couple whose kids don't attend school despite being registered, and they don't care, but there's nothing I can do about it.
If you're near Asheville, Atlanta has an annual, weekend-long pinball convention called Southern Fried Game Expo. Highly recommended.

These are some of the things I wish were taught in school (maybe grad school, maybe in software engg disciplines). Including things like "how to write a great design doc", etc.
I’m not sure it’s quite that simple.

I got a mortgage at 3% some years ago for an apartment. Since then we’ve had two kids and paid off a chunk of the mortgage with our monthly payments. At this stage in my life I’d absolutely be looking to convert that into buying a larger home and would be happy to pay a higher rate for it to happen. But not literally double, which is where rates are today.
1. Media narratives and sites like reddit -> focusing on the extremes is robbing people of the qualities of the life around them.
2. Keeping up with the Jones per se in the world of social media really knocks people down.
when you go to grad school, you've elected to move yourself to a new place and surround yourself with a social circle defined by your shared research interests. everything in your life will somehow connect back to work, so doing work (or thinking about work) will easily become all consuming. Disconnecting will be hard because you have to decide how to fill that non-work/research vaccuum and will often default to just doing more work because it's familiar.

So, for me, disconnecting didn't work when it was seen as "pushing away work" to do something else -- it had to be that my focus was "pulled into something non-work". The hard part is finding a non-work thing that naturally pulls your focus away from work (especially on a grad-student budget).
I know in Vietnam, they kind of do this too. Employers pay employee tax directly from the paychecks and it is based on salary. So a lot of the companies report that their employees make less, or they pay the employee part of their salary in cash (if it a cash business).

I'm curious how you know they aren't cheating you somehow? Also, how could their numbers be off (high/low)? In the US, there are all sorts of 'deductions' you can take and potential areas where you may owe more, which is why you can't just rely on the IRS to do it for you... they wouldn't know the data.

> But there are downsides too, we also have free healthcare and the last school shooting was more than 80 years ago.

sigh...
I've felt the urge to make it for a long time, but there are other things I was more passionate about. I did actually start looking into it this past tax cycle mostly out of anger/spite at Intuit, but I'm glad the govt is doing something now. I think it should be open source.
I'm kind of curious as to why Actor's Equity decided that this was in their wheelhouse. (I'm not an Equity actor, but a lot of my friends are, and I've had to study the Equity rules for when I work with Equity actors.)

Obviously, strippers are performers. And in addition to the usual concerns about pay and working conditions, strippers are subject to sexual harassment and abuse -- something that affects actors as well.

But there are also a lot of differences. Part of the job of Equity is to separate full-time professional actors for whom it is their livelihood, from novices who would work for less pay. I don't really know anything about stripping, but I had always thought of it more like a gig economy.

Equity has experience in protecting performers. The list of Equity rules reads like a litany of abuses that they've had to fend off. But would the strippers and actors go on strike with each other? Is it even part of the arrangement?
Curious your thoughts on who a Staff should report to. I've been at a handful of places where there were Staff Engineers (some of them even deserved it!) and it always seemed like the promotion from Senior to Staff came with a change in reporting structure, where now instead of reporting to a Manager you're reporting to a Director or a VP, even the CTO in smaller orgs.

I think this is a good indication of increased authority/responsibility, but also an easy way to shirk management responsibilities as you said. How much 1:1 management is a VP or CTO going to be doing with a Staff Engineer? Do you really want a VP with all the political nonsense that comes with that type of position to have their own pet engineer they can bother about things?
If the phone isn’t too big, and Google added the relevant capabilities, maybe exception 11(A) could work.
I tried Paypal last year and for some reason it stopped taking payments half way through the registration period. They had me work with a team of engineers and it turns out it was some gnarly bug on their end, so I spent like 30 hours debugging their bug for them. I can't go back to that.

We'll process something like < $30k so there aren't really many options for that. Invoices are too annoying to deal with for a few hundred participants.
I'm not saying it's easy or that everyone is capable. Only that it CAN be changed, but the conversations around OSS often don't reflect that reality. (We've all seen Github issues being abused as a support channel, often with a strong odor of entitlement)
I don't disagree, but I think you are largely conflating the right to speak complaints with the right to be an entitled jerk.

Few creators will object to criticism that shows an understanding of the work/product. Most will object to personal abuse empty of any actual criticism.

Understanding the context of a product makes for better complaints. Just venting is not helpful and often abusive.
I’ve seen the opposite problem far more often. Less experienced managers who are perfectly fine at managing junior engineers attempting to manage senior engineers in the same way.

It’s refreshing when a company realizes that staff engineers with 15+ years of experience don’t need daily management.
I can't find the NYT article, in the US it seems like LA, SF and NYC specifically are shrinking a bit, while other metropoles are still growing. In Europe this doesn't seem to hold true at all, with London, Paris, Berlin and Madrid all growing quickly.

As you correctly point out, there's an equilibrium between cost of living and the advantages large cities are offering. Here in Berlin we are starting to feel the pressure hard, but it is still much cheaper than the other big European cities, and thus growing by 200k a year.
Not even $20M a year? You could just work for one year and be set for life basically anywhere you want to live.
It's true that these don't come with a keyboard shortcut, but you can add your own!

Open System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and then add a new shortcut to All Applications, with the menu title being "Move Window to (Left|Right) Side of Screen". After doing this, in any app that's left the system-standard Window menu in tact (in my experience, the vast majority), your specified key shortcuts will split the frontmost window left or right.

Though you are correct, any sufficiently "different" type of corporation, I would argue is no longer a corporation in the sense we are referring to now.

I'm not OP, but it's quite obvious where the issues are. Overturning Citizens United is probably the first port of call.
Did you skip the word "recursive"?

When you look up example.com, you'll directly ask the .com servers. There won't be any middleman who can give you a fake result.

Let them die more easily. They are immortal after all, there should be a lower threshold for letting them die if they do something wrong.
A single data point from my perspective - live in a “city”, sure things gotten rougher since the pandemic, but it’s all alive. My direct family lives in bigger cities (New York, Toronto), and even though things are not the best, people are having fun, enjoying their lives. Some things are getting better, other stuff not so much.

Won’t really entertain your views on weed, since that’s just practically doesn’t pan out. We’ve had it federally legal here for years now, society hasn’t changed at all because of it.
The only model necessary is that of the writing. So if the writing so far is "He went to the bar", the LLM can know just from the language model that a reasonable next fragment could be "...to have a drink".

That doesn't require or imply that the concept of "bar", "drink", or even "He" or the concept of motion has been modelled. The model is of the patterns of tokens (words/characters/whatever).
Work was a dream, when i entered the job world. I couldn't believe how much easier life was, when you are out of work, you had no expectations, You didn't have to be standing on the bus stop at 5:45 am in the dark, the work was simpler and easier to do, It felt like you were actually doing something useful, people were more 'grown up' and interacted better, and WOW -- you got paid!! of course 30 years later i'm quite jaded, but i certainly remember those early experiences.
they point to the pandemic as the source of the issue but rates have been rising significantly since 2011...
This is what I have been thinking recently. In my recent interactions with the IRS site I was impressed. In particular was the weird photo-identity app that I had to use to generate a PIN.
Pianos
they know for probably 75% of the country, imo what should happen:

they send a bill of the expected amount, and you do your taxes on your end (if you so choose) to make sure its correct. If wrong, you submit your taxes, and move on with life.

for the vast majority of people, you have a w2 or some other accounts that submit stuff to the IRS, and these same people mostly take standard deductions, its a simple computation.

The US likely wont do this, because they potentially miss out on income that honest peopel will report, when it hasn't been reported to them (for example cash tips / gambling winnings under W2G and things like that.
Alphonso is one of the least flavorful varieties on mango.

The fame comes from the fact that it is one of the few which can stay edible for more than a few days of storage and transport, making it the only variety ever exported at scale.

Some better ones are Himsagar, Langra, Sindhri, Dasheri. Try to find these when you are traveling in India (and neighbors).
Hey Jan, I work at Stripe—sorry for the hassle. I can see our support team has already gotten your message.

I'll make sure we get this sorted out quickly.
"Mom I'm not feeling well, can I stay home today?

Has probably been uttered by majority of school age kid once in their life.

It's not something new.

Kids are kids, they play by testing limits. How high they can jump, how fast they can run, how much lie they can get away with.
I find it hard to detach from work and focus on my well-being. Work from home was convenient and necessary to a certain extent but I miss being able to get off the clock as soon as I left company doors at the end of the day.

> If you only write comments about intention, your code seems self descriptive, doesn't it?

And who mentioned writing comments only about intention?

> Why don't you write comments describing what the code does?

Yes, why don't we?

> Well, read the code

Because code is never long and vague, and human language can never sum up complex ideas or code?
One area to find great engineers (and interesting jobs) is at database, infrastructure and devtools companies. Places like Cockroach, PlanetScale, Docker, JetBrains, CodeWeavers, Fastly, etc. And the databases, infrastructure or tooling teams within Meta, Microsoft, etc.
The real problem is that Congress is bought and paid for by the tax return industry so that they can create an ever more complicated tax system that forces people to use the tax return industry
It sounds to me like you if you place it on the dashboard where it's not in the line of sight between the driver and the windshield it wouldn't be something that "obstructs or reduces the driver’s clear view" and so wouldn't be covered?
The proprietary eGPU enclosure is a very big downside in my point of view - granted, AMD has bad support for thunderbolt, but it instead makes the gpd win choice of industry standard OCuLink port look like an awesome idea.
A huge percent of filers have one or two W2s and no house, and that statement is true for them.

The select button is small and hard to reach from left analog, so I plan to remap Dmc V taunt to L4 or 5. Haven't tried it though.

If the upcoming AC6 isn't being restricted with console joysticks, I guess the back buttons can be used as more inputs for weapons or extensions.
>It’s a shame because it appears atleast the Ryzen CPU listed by framework claims to have almost caught up with the base M2.

It really hasn't. Check idle watts, package watts under load, performance when unplugged, battery life, laptop chassis temperature. AMD's solutions do not come close.
I've started using plain vanilla groff (eg., no mom or other macro packages) for formatting text files. Just run: groff -Tascii example.groff

I've found it be perfect for my purposes. LaTeX felt like too much overhead for generating a few nice-looking README files and blog posts. I also have a soft spot for older UNIX / GNU tools.

The best sources of documentation (which did take some time to track down) are:

- gtroff reference: https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff.html#gtroff-...

- man 7 groff: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/groff.7.html

I keep a small, annotated .groff file in a gist. It serves as a reference for the formatting functions I use most frequently: https://gist.github.com/benjamindblock/0926f7346b79b93e739ab...
I was one of the more vocal opponents of opt-in telemetry in the original discussion. One thing that seems clear to me coming out of that exchange is that the Go devs are quite anxious to get good-quality data, and are concerned that not enough people will opt in.

I for one plan to enable it, and I hope others will do the same.
Children have lots of agency to make choices in the school system. They are constantly given the choice to do their work and listen to their teachers, or to be someone who is lazy and doesn't learn anything at all. We have completely destroyed the punishment for being lazy and uninterested, so naturally children will take the path of least resistance.

I have ADHD. It makes me so unbelievably upset when people use the fact that ADHD can bring academic problems as a get out of jail card when they have academic problems stemming from their own laziness. It makes it so much worse for people who actually have ADHD too, because they get lumped in with the group of children who don't want to do their work. That's what I mean about self-victimization - by proclaiming yourself as a victim of your circumstances, you are absolved of responsibility and consequences for your actions. Not that schools nowadays even have much of that - kids now get so much leniency with ideas like "50 is a minimum grade" that you can just move from grade to grade not having learned anything.

How do you instill a love of learning when your competition is social media and smartphones that are designed by the smartest people in the world to be appealing? You can only make so much of learning fun. At some point, you have to buckle down and actually learn the stuff. You can't always make learning something that you love and want to do. Sometimes you just gotta know how to do algebra, and schools can't make algebra preferable to TikTok in a classroom. It's just not possible. And maybe children need to learn they can't always do what appeals to them in the immediate.

You also have to explain:

- your concerns about the current status quo,

- how these are causing the current status quo and

- explain what you believe are the expected effects.

It's an internet comment, not an academic essay, so you can just refer to things -- but you're in a diverse forum where most people aren't going to instantly recall the established zeitgeist you're trying to evoke. Many of us aren't familiar with your zeitgeist, so sparse references to it mean nothing to us.

I have no idea what you mean by "citizenship". I don't know what problems this is causing, what the change would look like, and why that would be expected to improve the problem.

Criticism from a professor is useful for passing, and some things are simply errors in technique.

But from students the content of their critique may be important than what it implies. ie: Did they fail to notice some specific detail intended to be obvious. So, it’s definitely a useful practice, but not necessary useful as criticism.
Uh, millenials are turning 40. People certainly won't be flagging your comment because of the truth content.
Corporations lobby/bribe politicians to implement laws and polities that negatively impact their constituents. The rest of the world has a single-payer healthcare system that is cheaper and better than what we have. Why? Because the healthcare industry has advertized and lobby'd for it to remain as it is.

Most corporations provide "decent jobs" to a limited subset of people. The vast majority of people are not making 100k/year.
> We also had massive inflation in the 1970s, combined with economic stagnation. We had inflation at 14% in 1970 (IIRC). We had the hollowing-out of American manufacturing - it started back then. We had a wave of Islamic terrorism, we had oil crises. We had conditions that were, maybe not worse, but didn't appear all that much better.

And yet, despite all of that, a blue collar wage was enough to own a home, a car for the breadwinner, a second car for the stay-at-home wife, healthcare, two children and their education. The economic base indicators were just way better than they are for my generation.

Also, politicians actually did something about all the crises you mentioned. The threat of nuclear war and other weapons of mass destructions got tackled by non-proliferation programs or outright bans (on chemical and biological weapons). Threats to the environment such as lead, acid rain or the ozone hole got combatted by banning lead and sulphur in fuels and CFC gases as refrigerants. The islamist terror threat got combatted by carpet-bombing Afghanistan, Iraq and a number of other hellholes, as well as upgrading airports and planes. The oil crisis got under control by introducing consumption limits and an expansion of domestic production to a point the US is a net exporter of oil.

In contrast, none of the modern polycrises got tackled. The financial world has deregulated to the point that we have yet another impending collapse, with actual giant banks like Credit Suisse going down. Migration and its causes aren't addressed, instead we build borders and threaten people with deathly conditions on their travel. Pandemic prevention has gone down the drain so hard that wearing masks and getting vaccines got politicized. Climate change is outright denied. If you don't get top degrees you have virtually no chance at getting a halfway decent paying job. Would-be parents, even young children can see all of that deliberate inaction.

> and we probably need to do something about mental health (which may involve doing something about addiction to social media)

Social media is an useful scapegoat - the mental health crisis (and I'd say also the drug abuse epidemic) is a direct result of our hyper-competitive, individualist everyone-for-themselves environment and the above-mentioned inaction of leadership to crises.
