Read Early Life (the author of TFA): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Finnegan

In fairness, of all the long-winded, self-important, over-socialized drivel that New Yorker puts out, this is atleast somewhat focused on the “real world” (and not the latest hot topic for over-educated yuppies to have neurotic fits about).

People who have never worked hard labor/trades/“back-breaking work” have zero insight into what goes on in the jobs being discussed, aside from some misplaced abstract notion of “I spent my youth being educated in a school — so that is what’s good and right; and all children should have that life.”

I grew up in a blue collar, rural part of the country. Education sucked — it was a waste of time that wouldn’t help you much at all in life. You will sit in a classroom for hours every single day, and for what? So you can go to college? You’re a lower class white kid from bumfuck America, no way you’re getting in; and no way you’re not paying for it yourself if you do.

If you’re lucky, there’s a church around that has families that own construction companies attending. They’ll set you up with some work, take decent care of you, and now you’re part of a community.

Hell, maybe your family or friends own a trades biz, and will take you on as an apprentice.

If not, then you take up the shitwork (landscaping, concrete, roofing), start building your skillset, and start learning and earning. Once you have a little bit saved up and can prove you’re not a drugged up criminal, you might start shooting for better work. You’re 20 now, you’re still young, you have no debt, a little bit of cash, and you have some hard skills, the world is your oyster.

Instead of being 22-24 graduating into a tech recession, with zero real skills, a bunch of debt, and little hope of landing your first job unless you schmooze or play dirty.
We'd just buy one copy and everyone would get a photocopy or (later, when tech was better) scan.
FWIW, I don't think they work well.
These expensive books are usually for mandatory, introductory classes. I don't know if the students have that much choice here.
Will Python remain number 1?
If a "given capacity" is the ability to read books and answer questions about the content, then LLMs are more power efficient (4kW for 20 seconds beats 20W for 3 hours). That's on standard power hungry GPUs (8xA100 server consumes about 4kW). If we switch to analog deep learning accelerators, we gain even better power efficiency. There's simply no chance for brains to compete with electronic devices - as long as we match brain's "capacity".
In Sweden, if you invest in / trade stocks and choose an “ISK” type of account, you pay almost zero tax on your gains (you pay a very low flat tax on the total value of your stocks, and this is quite unsubstantial for most average people who invest/trade)

At least compared to most other European countries, where every profit from stocks is heavily taxed, this is quite wild.

The downside of this ofc is that losses aren’t tax deductible either, and that you still pay the tax even if your stocks lost in value during the year. But still: Your capital gains earned through this scheme are close to be tax-free. If you bought a lot of Nvidia in January and sold it now, you could even withdraw the profit to buy a house or a car - and thereby avoid most of the tax that would come as a consequence of a bigger value of your stock holdings.

Just writing this to point out that there’s more nuance to this “taxes are high in the Nordics” narrative.
People putting their entire home directory in a repo, on somebody else's shared computer and network, is going to end in a disaster scenario. This sounds like a bad idea.
These kinds of boards always require proprietary connectors directly to a supporting motherboard and the image shows some extra pins next the power connector. So I suspect this card isn't any different
It depends on the severity of the problem. The track may satisfactorily straighten itself out as it cools. It might mostly straighten itself out, but there could be lasting geometry problems from it settling differently than it was before. This will need to be corrected by a tamper, which basically vibrates the ballast under the tracks so it "flows" as the track is pulled into the correct position. In especially severe cases, the track may need to be inspected and have some hardware replaced---things like joint bars and track fasteners.

Tampers have a reference system based on axles far apart whose relative positions are measured by a simple optical setup. So especially with modern computer controls, the operator can program the correct track profile into the tamper and then it slowly advances along the track pulling it back into position. Since tampers are slow and there are only so many around, a lot of railroads have work trains or even hirail trucks with optical equipment to measure the track geometry so that they can inspect for tolerances more frequently. The exact tolerances depend mostly on running speed... a train moving very slowly can often handle even badly out-of-alignment track as long as it is well attached to the ties (so the distance between the rails stays correct). So you will often see industrial sidings in really bad shape since they're only used occasionally at 15mph. But once trains get up to 50mph and faster they become a lot more sensitive to the geometry and you start worrying about damage and derailments if things are out of whack. So the mainline track gets inspected a lot more frequently, often a simple visual inspection by MOW workers in a hirail is done daily besides of course train crews reporting areas with a rough ride.
There is a local theme park nearby where they have 13 and 14-year olds working. To guide people, help them out, check for belts, opening gates and such. Minimum wage starts at 15 years old so the owner doesn't need to pay them much.

At 13 years old you can't work at a factory but you can stock shelfs or pick fruit. No more than 7 hours a day and no more than 35 hours a week. No Sundays.

I am doing the same with SQL Server. The messages table is more of a bus than a queue in our case (columns like ReplyToId, etc). Using it for RPC communication between cloud bits. Much cheaper than Azure Service Bus and friends.
Water leak or flooding. Many electrical wires run at or below ground level where rainwater can reach even w/o visible above-ground flooding. Electrical appliances or tools and/or their AC plugs may be in low areas and present a hazard. Many large appliances (stoves, refrigerators) are 240 volt.

Risk increases in areas and times prone to overflowing rainwater or outright flooding, e.g., during hurricanes.

Walking in floodwaters is dangerous b/c of risk of electrocution and also b/c you can't see where you're stepping. Then wearing shoes becomes even more important for a different reason. But one of the first things we learn is, when flooding occurs, turn off electrical power at the main switch.
And you know, even if it didn't. they would say it did.

The library, potentially. The other option that I've seen is that the professor buys one copy of the books and then copies the parts they want so they can distribute to the students.
Well, it’s not just an aside. It takes all the wind out of your sails. What’s interesting here is the end result, not pointing out the basic elements the same reason reducing love or consciousness to chemical reactions doesn’t take away the mystique and wonder of those things. “Heh sorry to ruin it for you all :b but it’s all just chemical reactions” just isn’t as interesting as you might have been thinking when writing that comment.

That’s an interesting point you made.

If in the US we tie flexibility of labor laws to nationalizing healthcare, can we actually get some real traction on the latter while giving an actual safety net yo the former?
Well that’s the funny thing. What defines a child laborer? Most people know that there’s a difference between a 16 year old working the odd summer job and a Victorian 9 year old chimney sweep. But the historical memory of the chimney sweep is deservedly strong. It reminds us that for most of the history of capitalism, when guardrails don’t exist, children get exploited. Firms will act according to incentives and will push children, lacking experience and a voice, to do backbreaking and dangerous work. They’ll do it aided by rhetoric like yours, brushing aside the erasure of the robust edifice of labor laws that protected our young people in the name of “character building.”
I really want a successor to the Hear One buds. I was going to wait for v2 to dive in the ecosystem. I'm surprised the company folded.

> I nominate the wonderful Here One smart earbuds from Doppler Labs. They had assorted tricks, but one was an absolute life-changer for me, for the year or so it lasted. In a crowded restaurant or bar, with lots of other people talking at once, it let you “focus” your hearing, via a little pointer in the app, so you could hear only the person or small group you wanted to hear. The rest was muffled out. It was like having a directional mic you could point at the people you wanted to hear. It was smart enough to know (mostly) which voices to focus on and which to muffle.
Yes; throwing the decompression routine and/or its variables into screen RAM also has the bonus of making it obvious to the user that something is happening without spending any time implementing a progress bar. Sometimes there's text like "Decrunching..." or "SuperPacker2.4 by c00lDude/TLA".
Can you elaborate a bit on the cost? Why is it expensive? Will it still be expensive after the patents/marketing-exclusivity expires?
It seems to me that if satellite bandwidth is the dominant cost, and a customer requires 10x more bandwidth, then you should charge 10x more.

You should do that even if you haven’t launched any other satellites, because serving that customer means you can’t serve 10 others.
You need governance of the client choosing a specific version of the service too.

Or, in other words, you can't have teams cooperating without governance.

The photos of this card show a header JU4_1 which has a different pinout than all MSI motherboards' Thunderbolt headers I know so far, so I think it won't even work in current MSI motherboards, just future ones.
I think that while the approach is good, there was a better option (IMHO). Specifically, I would:

1. Create protobuffers (or similar) messages that wrap the requests and responses. E.g. CheckSubscriptionPaidRequest and CheckSubscriptionPaidResponse.

2. Refactor your code so that the fields in the messages defined in #1 are your only mean to pass/retrieve information.

3. If need be, expose the service through GRPC or similar.

4. Repeat for each service/endpoint.

This way, you don't incur in any overhead apart from the negligible creation of the protobuffer messages instances.
The bundle would be too hard to pull off IMO. How is my 100k of debt going to cover all these administrative employees, the new climbing wall AND some books?
Which isn’t a dumb argument at all. It’s what got us flying in the first place, thanks to a brave Geman engineer called Lilienthal.
My only point is, if your boss asks you to train someone, offshore, to do your job, you can slow that roll by making the offshore savings non-existent. It is a historical fact that economic borders and immigration are used to control the labor market. Offshoring labor is the modern practice and the effect is the same.

In the spirit of conversation, i would ask you to consider Bob and Alice, two allegorical characters living on different sides of the same town, doing the same job. Bob has a $1M mortgage in an affluent suburb, and Alice has a more modest domicile in a "working class" part of town. Shall we pay Bob more because his cost of living is higher? Redrawing the boundaries from city to state to country doesn't change the crux of the argument.
There seems to be a generational divide on this topic. A lot of younger people seem to be fine with restrictions on free speech, often under the guise of various progressive causes
My state is trying to pull this shit too and it's maddening. A bunch of businesses owners got together and whined about an "worker shortage" (ie nobody wants to work a dead end job for shit pay, shit hours, and shit managers) and so our brilliant legislature said, "I know just the kind of people who will work those jobs -- teenagers that are desperate enough for cash that they'll work into the night on school nights."

They can already work weekends, summers, and holidays by the way, the only time they can't is mon-thurs because of that compulsory education thing.

The sad part is that it's not even about there being a void to fill, their competitors
who are offering $17.50/hr are rolling in applicants, it's pure greed using the legislature and teenage labor to drive down wages for everyone under the guise of "well it's fine because it's just spending money" (and labor exploitation).
Not circular at all. Cost of living varies per location based on a wide variety of factors. Where's the circle?

A Kenyan in Mountain View would be paid the same as an American in Mountain View, much like an American in Kenya is paid the same as a Kenyan in Kenya. Similarly, an American in Mountain View makes more than American in Alabama. If they didn't, then the market isn't pricing in cost of living which would be a complete failure of market dynamics. People demand a certain wage because of the price of food, housing, etc, and that cost of living is so universal for a geography that all prospective employees will need the same minimums which drives the price of labor. When you don't have the same basic needs across a population, then those who are willing to work for less will get the position at a lower pay.

If all of Kenyan Google employees emigrated to the US, I'd expect their pay to go up.

Your notion of exploitation strikes me as unaware of world wide standards, and is actively counter-productive. If I'm in Indonesia I can find great fried chicken for $1-3 in a 'luxury' mall. I cannot do that in SF. If American companies pay locals abroad 10x the average pay, you end up causing bubbles that drive up the prices for everyone because some people are now able to move markets. This is why housing is so expensive in SF - there's enough wealth that the market can just keep upping its price and the demand will bear it.

The entire idea of 'fair' compensation is relative and not universal. The world itself isn't uniform, there is no single currency (which is a good thing), and projecting a uniformity on it suggests a dominant mindset. Who get to set the 'fair' prices? If Huawei pays their employees in China half or less of Google employees in Mountain View, does that mean Huawei should also pay the same Chinese wages to those they employ in Mountain View? Is that 'fair'?
> Compare for example with Pokemon Go, I find it infinitely more rewarding to "hunt" something real.

Ha, that’s exactly how I describe mushrooming. You might find it similarly satisfying, though if you plan on foraging for food I recommend taking a course on identification (most communities have a mycology club) and sticking to the basics.
Exactly, lets take it a step further and forbid selling (teaching) things you don't own.

If I desire to charge people to teach them what an array is I must provide the explanation of the array myself.

If the book is really to good to skip a teaching license must be acquired that names the specific chapters and their purpose. The rights holder doesn't have to sell by chapter but if anyone wants to make a more specific version at a better price they can.

Ideally work towards a single book for each year with a wiki for educators to debate changes and updates.
There is no point in fighting procrastination before you find good answer - why do you really need to be productive.

If the answer doesn’t help, it is shitty answer, look for better one.

Or admit that you are really productive enough already for your goals and values.

Ive been a victim of this productivity scam myself for some time.

But the search must be in domain of meaning and values (or maybe psychotherapy if your builtin values mechanisms were broken).

Not in the domain of proper technique or fancy time management methodology. It’s all a snake oil.

That’s it.

And nobody will tell you this truth, because once you realize there’re nothing to buy, they can’t make money on you
For those that love the pi and electronics I’d suggest checking out the raspberry pi pico which is not a full os but a microcontroller with tons of features including WiFi that runs Python or c scripts. Replaced the pi for me in the projects I was working on, especially paired with a nice LED matrix display. My favorite combo at the moment is this led matrix with presoldered pico w: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/cosmic-unicorn
This surge is being propelled by an unhappy confluence of employers desperate to fill jobs, including dangerous jobs, at the lowest possible cost; a vast wave of “unaccompanied minors” entering the country; more than a little human trafficking;

This is such a strange thing for legislatures to prioritize weakening child labor laws and not generally care about how these minors got here. It just shows that special interests drive the legislative process.
Rasing wages might add pennies to your food bill, honestly do you know how much food a worker can pick in an hour let alone a day? A lot aren't even paid by the hour they are paid by the ton/bushel. Labor is cheap that's why they still use people and haven't replaced them with machines.
I was a slightly above average student, but I was constantly told I was not living up to my full potential. This meant that despite me leaving sixth form with grades of which none were less than a B, I felt like a failure.

I dislike making excuses, but my time in the education system felt more akin to being pushed through a meat grinder. I remember one of the only times I went out of my way to actually attempt to do well in a class was when I was graciously told "I would amount to nothing" by a teacher, and used the rage incurred from that statement to to score in 99% percentile in all of he's exams following.

The reality of the situation for most of my time I was a socially inept barely functioning alcoholic. The people I surrounded myself with were all losers who didn't do much else other than smoke weed and fornicate with each other. I think I probably could of done better, but even so I still found myself in a carrer I genuinley find interesting with good prospects for growth. I don't credit the education to that at all.

To be brutally honest... all the education system really did was hold me back

> - people saying that there are "more performant" devices. Sure, there are. How do they perform in terms of kernel support and documentation?

And Pi isn't even supported fully in upstream kernel! And it's so much worse in competitors...

> The truth is that the Raspberry Pi SBCs are unique because they are the product of their funding model. If you want "more performant" devices that are as good, you might need to front up the cash.

Not really. The key point why people want it is that they are by far most seamless product out of the competition (sans maybe some x86 ones I guess). 3rd-party patched kernel is always PITA especially over long lifetime but rPi got theirs in "near vanilla" debian-derivative so there is very little friction. And on top of that of course ecosystem that grew around it.

*if* there was competitor that have similar featureset yet work at 100% vanilla kernel there would be a chance but there is always some problem to deal with.
Adding to this, Sweden has no property tax or inheritance tax, unlike the US.
This isn't theoretical; many companies do PostgreSQL async 1:N physical replication, by using e.g. https://pgbackrest.org/ to have the primary push WAL segment files (a.k.a. "the last n milliseconds of packets" in the write-ahead log) as objects to S3. All the read-replicas then independently discover the new objects in S3 as they become available; fetch them; and replay them.

> You could do even better if you out-of-band signal the readiness so you do not need to poll while idle.

S3 and its clones have "object lifecycle notifications", where you can be informed by a push-based mechanism whenever a new object is put into the bucket.

But — what do you have to do, to get these notifications?

Subscribe to a real message queue, that S3 puts these notifications into.

So using it here would be somewhat cheating ;)

The number is around 32 for boomers, and 34 for millennials.

The age range is very specific, say 95th percentile onwards, else you can just say 18 - 39, but you would find that even more unreasonable, despite it including roughly the same population.

It's not wide. Mortgage payoff is not tracked as much as anyone would like.

> A modest increase in income or net worth is meaningless if housing has skyrocketed in comparison.

If the housing prices are temporarily inflated or stagnate for a few years, then it truly does not matter as much as you would like it to be. No generation is immune to market conditions, nor should be.
If all you can provide are ad hominems and have no actual facts to present your arguments on...
