I meant: you'd need quite a bit of scaffolding to imitate django's way of importing urls. If you're happy writing them as function calls, and/or manually importing them, it can be quite straight-forward.

But Go doesn't have one framework that pretends to do it all. And IMO, django just pretends. Want to turn your GET/POST-based views into JSON/REST-like endpoints? Add a library, and two extra modules per data type. Want to do something slightly more complicated with the database? Be prepared to write a bunch of code, or look for a library that understands tree/graph-structures. Want to integrate Angular or React? Add another library or two. File conversion? Charting? Monitoring? Repeated tasks? Packing static files? Moving images into the right place for deployment? You get the picture.

You may have to good reasons to pick django for your team, but it sounds a bit like you're outsourcing the architecture, hoping that django suffices and the community can support you. But if you understand the needs of your (web) service, flask or basic 'requests' or fastapi are not such bad starts. Once you're at that point, Go's web frameworks can look quite similar, so I'd recommend that if you ever take that step.
Published some books, none of them had blurry covers.
Would you consider the product you provide a BIM product?

I think what is fascinating about this space is that the tech is there for full 3d models, machine control, and BIM smart design.

It's all just so expensive, only the huge companies get deep into all of it. As a PLS, we've been delivering site topos for decades with full 3d surfaces, only to deliver those to the engineers and after design they print out a plan set.
It would be interesting to submit petty theft to a similar cultural analysis that this article uses. Neither NYC nor the aforementioned European cities are ethnically/culturally homogeneous. A study like this could either corroborate the findings of this article, or introduce an interesting dimension to the analysis, something non-trivial.
> The default model of civilization is that children are absent from life.

There's nothing "default" about Civilization, which entailed intentional centralization and creation of bureaucracy.

We don't live in a society where 80% of people farm shitty land to survive, and no one of sound mind wants to turn back that dial. We're not bringing our kids to roam sheepishly around oil rigs, mines, labs, sales floors, whatever.

I think everyone has an opinion on how education could improve, but there's no superior (or viable) substitute for it at scale.

Notwithstanding, this isn't zero sum in the first place: parents can teach their kid at leisure, and they do. They expose them to their interests and their work, to some extent.

And lastly, there's no such thing as "absent from life". Even if this is only meant to convey the idea that schooling shelters kids away from any and all interesting things in society, this is untrue (and by extension, it would suggest that you're "absent from life" if your shit job doesn't meet some arbitrary criteria, or otherwise that your shit job is "full of life" but school isn't).
Indeed. In California a plumber might not touch any wire for liability reasons, but home owners are legally allowed to do everything.
Ask HN: Do you provide your drivers license to agencies?
I have gotten calls from IT agencies who want, and sometimes near-insist, that you hand over a copy of your drivers license or similar in order to prove that you are not fake - so that you can be submitted for a job.

I prob have done it before, but also not done it mostly.

Is there some middle ground?

I'm convinced they would not be asking for it if they did not need it or _something_ to prove that you are you, but that's pretty hardcore sensitive information, imo.

Is there a middle ground?
Part of the problem for people here is, dashed lines on maps do mean something. They're very common, and their meaning in the US is widely understood. Especially when maps are used in movies, it's long since been a cliché (and leads to one of the best jokes in "The Emperor's New Groove").
> for people whos jobs are being displaced faster than they can retrain

Where is this mass displacement of which you speak?

Which companies are firing en masse and replacing with AI?
Not exactly, no.
Russia and Romania, as compared to the US, are known for dishonesty in some other areas: corruption and bribery in the government, cheating in schools and universities, counterfeit goods, financial fraud, tax evasion, etc. So it might be surprising to see honesty when it comes to returning a lost wallet.

(I think the important difference might be "being dishonest to the system" vs. "being dishonest to a concrete individual in your community".)
This study is cleverly designed and found non-intuitive results (as measured by the study itself). Penultimate paragraph:

> We conducted field experiments in 40 countries to examine whether people act more dishonestly when they have a greater economic incentive to do so, and we found the opposite to be true. Citizens were more likely to return wallets that contained relatively larger amounts of money. This finding is robust across countries and institutions and holds even when economic incentives for dishonesty are substantial. Our results are consistent with theoretical models that incorporate altruism and self-image concerns, but they also suggest modification in that nonpecuniary motivations directly interact with the material benefits gained from dishonest behavior. When people stand to heavily profit from engaging in dishonest behavior, the desire to cheat increases but so do the psychological costs of viewing oneself as a thief—and sometimes the latter will dominate the former.
They're the same components but not. If you would frame a building and then build the wall assemblies traditionally your ability to integrate parts of the structure and seal it is different than when you put together assemblies and try to seal the thick boundaries between them. You also don't have any quality control - whatever shows up on site is installed.
There's a hack that solves "the problem" in general: "non-judgment".

We get so inculcated with comparing, contrasting, thinking about "better", "not as good as", "worse" ... it's THE recipe for all manner of negative psychological states, emotions, etc. There are basic biological drives, of course, but both implicitly and explicitly we are taught minute-by-minute, starting from not long after birth, to JUDGE EVERYTHING. Parents - "good/bad boy / girl", school - grades / social status / toys, work - "star employee / slacker" ... It's a set up for every imaginary "treadmill" that exists - consumer, achievement, etc.

All illusory.

It takes some conscious work / effort, to undo. But, I found, ultimately, that I was able to undo a hell of a lot of that crap in a shorter time than I expected. Several weeks worth of work with Jon Kabat-Zinn's 7 pillars of mindfulness, etc... can make a big difference, in my experience.

Getting out of the habit of having to have "an opinion" / "judgment" about every single F'ing thing that IS ... That just IS, until we have to categorize, compare, pick apart, judge, ... let the moronic inner critic - amalgamated, in part, through years of inculcation via others, intentional and not - dissect every molecule of existence until the minutest shred of simple BEING, JOY, etc. in any MOMENT is reduced to ash ... getting out of that habit is the greatest gift I've ever been given.

I still judge, I still fall into traps / stupidity ... I'm still human - hell, this comment has enough judging in it itself, even more simply implied / denotational ... but, I'm so much further out of the mire of crap our heads tend to get filled up with than so many people. It's both tremendously more comfortable, and yet also saddening to see so many still so trapped - by the same kinds of shitty thinking I was trapped by for years.
IIRC bullying is much worse in East Asia (Korea/Japan/China)
It's metaphorical. You don't literally expel the parents. Provide more and more diverse extracurricular activities. Even when schools aren't providing those activities they can make students and parents aware of them. Perhaps school boards could be convinced some kids need compulsory activities. If they can have the power to expel, they can have the power to do mitigation.
> It is a demonstrably better product through telemetry.

Demonstrable, perhaps; but to actually demonstrate it, they'd have to share their telemetry results.

Also, demonstrably better than what? Demonstrably better than a Google-free kernel with no telemetry? How can you demonstrate that?
> I think the actual reason is something like a vast western empire promoting diversity as a good thing for your country.

The diversity train is a relatively new phenomenon.

EU expansion to the East had many factors. One of them being to have less barriers to get a cheap seasonal workforce pick vegetables in western EU countries [1].

Go back a few more decades: Germany in particular asked hundreds of thousands of people from Turkey to immigrate into Germany to help rebuild it after WW2. It's now the biggest foreign-origin population in Germany.

Not sure about France though.

They hate having to rely on other people, or the exploitation part? Because if your thesis is the latter, go explain union busting, benefits stripping, or pretty much the entire state of the social system in the US.
Workers don't want open-office plans either but they keep building them.

And there's a vocal minority that want to be able to buy a smaller truck in the United States, but they keep on building monstrosities with beds too short for a sheet of plywood.

> If France did not want to be full of Algerians it should not have tried to make Algeria French, at the cost of a huge number of lives, but there is no time machine for that.

Are you suggesting mass algerian immigration is some sort of retribution for colonisation? I am not even sure I see the link. Germany has mass turkish immigration, I can't remember Turkey being a german colony.

And if you want to talk about past misdeeds, we can also discuss the barbary slave trade and piracy (which by the way was the original reason for the French colonisation).

thank you for sharing this. one of my hesitations around Arch was the effort to set it up -- I'm too old and too busy to deal with doing it all by hand.

I ran Gentoo back in college, did LFS once -- all good learning experiences -- but Fedora or Ubuntu can get me a usable system in 20 minutes and I don't have to think too hard about anything except basic partitioning and a password.

This looks like it'll get me something working, but not commit me to a full-on Manjaro install.
So I work in customer service for tech company, I see the tickets and about 60% of them can be solved with a chatbot. Most of the time the instructions were already written on the customers screen and they just didn't bother to read them.

I agree, calling up and getting a bot is irritating, but personally fielding every call without screening out the silly PEBCAC tickets gets expensive quick and hold-times pay the price.
Thankfully I think we did a fairly good job succinctly taking the sabotures to task this time around on these climate issues. The fine technicalities any contrarianism rested on looked ridiculous.

On so many topics all it takes is two or three seeds of chaos & the core points are all missed, amid endless debate on absurd distantly related topics. Injecting false debates can quite effectively smokescreen the topic at hand.

Online especially there's also a lot of people with agendas, either hidden or proudly worn. Give how transactional exchanges are, how little reputation really follow one around, the ability for either crazy or just-incredibly-slanted-agenda-keeping to inject itself in & distort the conversation is very high.

There's also the silent majority factor online. Most people don't comment in to say, "that was great, thanks, seemed spot on". The people most likely to comment are squeaky wheels, are people who make noise & they are more likely to have Very Serious Opinions.

Trying to just show up and spread some positivity &highlight good points is enormously appreciated. But alas also makes you a target for those whose behavior pattern is reflexive contrarianism. What a term!

As far as I am concerned, classical music in conservatoire includes music theory and instrument trainings. To play in an orchestra, especially semi famous one, most likely you would need to follow an university/similar degree.

Any exam is done without a music sheet, music theory always include composition.
Chord progressions comes surely later in music theory but harmony is key from classic repertoire,and counterpoint from baroque era repertoire.
Canonical pulls its LXD 'containervisor' back in-house
No surprise that video games in which the player is a rebel or revolutionary against a dysfunctional or oppressive system are so popular. These games pander to and soothe people's discontent. For a while, when playing the game, the player feels as though they are accomplishing something productive to improve their life and environment.

My fellow human, I was a trans kid in 2008.
If that were the case, then why is it that the most of the propaganda against him or individuals of similar background involves the notion of "he wasn't a 'real' french person" and demonizing everything about them that can be remotely interpreted as "not french"?
Another way to think about this and the parent comment is that karma is instant.
Scrolling – How GameBoy Graphics Work Part 3 [video]
I did something similar when I bought my place. Negotiated the 2.5% buyers fee to go towards closing cost. Paid for all the closing costs and my mortgage guy baked in like 4 months worth of property taxes into it to soak it all up.
What the GP is saying is if the PS2, with its weird architecture, was Sony's first console it may not have been successful. By the release of the PS2 the PS1 had a number of successful second and third party franchises. Third party devs were willing to invest in making PS2 games because they had five years of profits on the PS1 and a good relationship with Sony.

It took several years for third party devs to get maximum performance out of the PS2. Not that early PS2 games were bad but there's a marked difference between the early games and ones made after devs figured out how to better use the PS2's SIMD units and take better advantage of the GPU.

If Sony didn't have six years of history with the PS1 I don't think they could have gotten the level of third party support the PS2 actually had. Devs would have looked at the PS2 and had no confidence Sony would execute on dev support.

This is why I'm fascinated with different translations and take the time to read my favorite passages in every translation I come across. The new meaning revealed is awesome.

One of my favorite editions is "The Word: The Bible from 26 Translations", which has different translations of each verse printed together. It's a huge book, and I can only imagine how much work went into it. The credits are two pages long.

Puberty blockers have been administered as a valid treatment for precocious puberty for many decades. All of the bans on them specifically still allow them to be used for this purpose, because they are indeed safe enough. It's just that people don't like the idea of children being transgender, probably because it reminds them that they could potentially have a gay or transgender child.

The Alan Turing lie is laughable, Lupron wasn't even invented until 20+ years after Alan Turing was given hormone injections. The falsehoods you're spouting have the hallmarks of coming from Twitter infographics meant to enrage you. Trans care has been made into a wedge issue by US politicians as a way of taking advantage of people's ignorance about the topic, and their knee-jerk dislike of gender non-conformity. An incredible amount of non-sense is being spread, the same as it was about gay people in the 70's and 80's.

> In fact, "trans kids" has never been a thing until about two or three years ago.

Another blatant lie, but it's a fun opportunity to talk about the first trans kid in the US, Agnes Torres. She started taking hormone therapy as a child in 1950. Nearly 80 years ago.

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

Doctors declared her intersex and she was given a fast track to having her documents changed. She went on to marry and have a nice normal life, because people left her alone. Trans people today could have the same if not for the vicious ignorance propagated by political parties looking for fresh meat.

This study is useless, the experiment design is so fundamentally flawed that it provides virtually no real information.

As others have pointed out, mturk always had workers using automation, and the researchers set up a task that is an obvious application for LLM's, who's output makes it difficult to different humans generated output, and isn't even a good use case for mturk (since the output is free form text that would have to be validated by humans rather than an automated quorum check).

This is simply an insult to science
That's definitely a legitimate fear, as seen with the AOL controversy [1], but if they're just collecting aggregate statistics it's much less of a risk. I.e.

User ANON-123 with default font x and locale y and screen resolution z installed package x1

Is clearly a big hazard, but statistics on what fonts, locales, and resolutions have is not really. Even combinations to answer questions like "what screen resolutions and fonts are most used in $locale?" should be safe as long as the entropy is kept low. It is less useful, since you have to decide on your queries a priori rather than being able to do arbitrary queries on historical data, but ethics and safety > convenience

Reminds me of the game Cyberpunk 2077. There's a part in the main story where you infiltrate a brothel, Clouds, where their s*x workers are remotely controlled by an AI and your fantasies/preferences are the "prompt." There is also an optional side quest where you can initiate a s*x worker uprising to wrestle control of the establishment from the gang who operates it. A curious and overlooked detail is the emancipated workers are content to continue being controlled by the AI.

From the article: "Unfortunately, however, these people have enough money to do serious damage."

Having money does not make anyone fit to change anything outside their business. Maybe there need to be limits set on what can be done with money, government approval of business plans for example, or limits on how much cash can be spent in some area the wealthy person has no understanding of. If someone makes a fortune selling cat food they should not be able to use that money to lobby for rule changes in medicine or to buy their way into running hospitals. Even the business experience side of things is NOT generalizable. There needs to be a requirement of knowledge and experience as a barrier to entry to spending huge amounts of money. Otherwise wealthy people will just fuck things up because then can. An airplane pilot needs training to fly a plane, training for the wealthy should be required to alter an economy.

Agreed, but teachers can't be expected to be the only ones providing this help.

Other public institutions outside the school system need to be in place to support the parents who are stressed and overworked and barely have time to parent.

And their right to be helped stops at the line where they're causing harm to the learning of others.

Discipline in schools isn't and cannot be about holistically reforming the problem kids, it's about making sure those who want to learn can.

You can't dump the entirety of systemic poverty, racism, mental health, etc. on the education system and expect it to work well.
