Short of having a group of union members becoming your defacto supervisor and doing the guidance your supervisor should be doing, I don't see how they could help in this situation.
It’s hard to improve a product if you don’t know how it’s being used.
I think I agree, but the article is definitely making the push that Google is a competitor.
We do have a power crunch coming; take a look at the IESO annual planning outlook[1]. Page 78/79 of the 2022 APO show grid emissions dramatically increasing - due to the transition to gas generation. Also take a look at resource adequacy on page 42 - Ontario is coming into a deficit hence the recommendation to procure 4,000MW asap.

Emissions factor is on track to almost triple between now and 2040. Plus, emissions scope doesn't include out of jurisdiction - the planned Lake Erie connector will bring in electricity from Pennsylvania which is significantly higher emissions due to coal. The Ministry of Energy requested the IESO review emissions impacts of this project however results have not been made public (...because it's high emissions).

And you don't think they bothered to adjust for that even though they said they did?
What we can’t know is whether they would have been fast enough to tweak their product to their current market without using a scripting language. Companies who do that aren’t sacrificing performance for nothing, scripting languages make a lot of things simpler and closer to the business domain, which cannot be ignored (anybody who’s in a huge project that requires a 30 min. compilation often enough to kill productivity knows what I’m talking about).

Besides, you can even use optimized C and get none of the benefits (but still all the drawbacks) because of the algorithms you’re using or your database or something else entirely such as microsservices etc. making differences in language speed negligible.

I guess the point is the language speed on backends don’t matter as much as many other things (network, database, architecture setup etc.) and usually the gains you get with your language being faster aren’t high unless you’re in a tight loop or you’re like Amazon where even a few milliseconds gain is more money.
I have some of these hardcover pod books, authored by qntm [1] and their website points to Amazon as a supplier. So I assume its legitimate in that case.

I also have Andriy Burkov's Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book in pod paperback, and the author advises buying it from Amazon to avoid scammers profiting from repackaging the open source content. So again, apparently legit.

The books themselves seem of decent quality - not as good as a sewn hardback binding, but perfectly good. Interestingly they have a guid printed on the final page which I suspect is unique to the physical book.

The ones I have come from Poland. As I'm in the UK, the potential for reducing book-miles is maybe not being realised yet.

Perhaps there is so much regulation because builders built deadly shitboxes that killed their occupants at the first moments notice.

This said density regulations tend to be the problematic ones.
The one thing the government does usually enforce is construction laws, not always depending on the municipality but usually. You'll be shutdown by force within a day. It's why any business that renovates in NYC papers over their windows, because if an inspector is able to see anything wrong through the windows, you will be shut down even if you are a multi-billion dollar company.

So do you believe these schools are unbiased regarding admission to students that require such aid (nonprofitable) versus wealthy students that require no aid (profitable)? This article is pointing out that these (and likely lower ranked schools) are biased toward the profitable candidates. Given that is the case, it is a long-shot on top of a long-shot to be admitted to Ivy League without paying out of pocket.
And if it's opt-in it becomes essentially useless.
I recall this being due to issues with using a product name like Android as the first word in a product name.

I may be mistaken though.
It's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. If you have the requisite skill and persistence to be in the top 10 in the class, you probably don't need to be in the top 10. But if you have that skill and you don't use it to be in the top 10, what are you doing instead? It better be something good, because competing against other highly motivated and skilled peers for a top 10 spot builds a lot of character and fortitude. Top 10 in my class are the best of the best. No one is sneaking in there.
Eh. I'm not terribly interested in starting a flame war, so you do you.

No, it is more complicated. You don’t just need a consent form, you also need a later opt out form. You also need a mechanism for the person to request a copy of their data. Is the person in France or any one of the regions with enhanced GDPR legislation? If so, there are additional concerns. Is the person a child (note that the definition of child varies by region)? If so, there are additional concerns. Do you regularly analyze this data (for example, monitor your error logs)? If so, you need a DPO and all the complexity that comes with that.
Why Only 8% of Job Seekers Complete Their Applications and What to Do About It
Reading the front page now shows me how good that kind of interface is. I can scan with my eyes for what's interesting to me, and then I can immediately start reading. Something about the haphazard grid too makes the process of searching a lot easier and more satisfying.

When I compare it to their digital front page there's really no comparison.

For the scan, the size of each item on the grid naturally draws your eyes to what are the most important things of the day. The text preview of the articles are a lot bigger. Just in general the actual newspaper uses the available space a lot better. It's huge! With that space they can do so much more. I love how the "snippets" aren't blurbs, it's simply just the actual article, along with an index to keep reading. That lets me read a little bit of all the important stuff before theoretically continuing.

The digital front page has huge empty margins on my monitor. There's much less indication to what is important from an editorial standpoint, because everything is the same size. I guess stuff at the top is supposed to be the most important, but it really seems to be what is just happening "live", so most recent.

Seeing them side by side really makes me think that maybe the problem with news isn't that people don't want to pay for it, but that the product just isn't there yet. It's honestly garbage in comparison to the analog newspaper. I would love for something digital in the same format as their actual news paper if there were hyperlinks, and it was no more than $5/mo.
Is it a product?
Which is where the original proposal originated.

Really, given that "One of the main goals of metrics collection is to analyze whether Red Hat is achieving its goal to make Fedora Workstation the premier developer platform for cloud software development." is right there in the text it would seem pretty clear to me that the 'Fedora Community' (in sofar as one exists) is just Red Hat in disguise serving its own interests here, and at arms length to see what the response is. Think of it as a trial balloon which will certainly be followed by more clicks of the ratchet.
Even among private schools, pricing differentiation happens. My local catholic parish has many schools: Some are very affordable, but those are not the good ones. The ones that are competitive with the secular private schools charge just as much, and it's not due to facilities suddenly costing five times as much: It's that, for the most part, only the kids with rich parents will afford them, plus a few rare scholarship targets that happen to make the school look a little diverse. The high price is a feature.

So Vouchers do not have all choices available: Having a voucher doesn't guarantee acceptance to a school. And depending on your voucher legislation preference, you aren't going both force all schools to accept vouchers and make sure they don't raise prices. Ultimately, being selective is a feature, and therefore prices will go up, not unlike how easy student loans for colleges help raise prices. The top schools will eat the entire value of the voucher in cost increases, or just refuse the value of the voucher if they can't.

You are right in the fact that really, most people in America have to pay for the good school district, either straight up in cash, or in significant increases in home costs. I've seen 30% drops in home values as, within the same district, the line of who got to go into the 'good' public school changed. Vouchers probably make the school choices far more explicit, and might lead to less housing segregation. But they sure aren't going to make all choices available to everyone, any more than I can choose to marry a supermodel, or own a private island.

Yeah, because implementing compliance features takes time and they likely opted to launch early instead.

Not really, same idea. Hospitals want to recover as much as they can with as little headache. Coming from a lawyer vs trying to negotiate yourself just means "I can actually make this difficult for you, play ball"

That works until the developer finally fucks up and the municipality gets sued for approving it.

There's a town where I live in NY that is on the hook for basically spending millions on pumping the water table yearly because back in the 70s they idiotically approved development of a few neighborhoods when the water table was at a record low due to a drought and the entire area is up against a water table connected lake. No surprise post-drought, all those houses were getting permanently flooded since the area simply cannot sustain houses with basements.

Last news in recent years is the flooding is shifting so they are on the hook to build yet another pump station as long as those original houses still exist.
> That is the problem. Why not make public schools better?

People have tried. The problem is the governance structure that creates a race to the bottom. It's not a question of funding anymore.

The reason that private school is so successful? It's run by teachers. People who have gone to school, received training and degrees as professional educators. Not only are they able to get together to talk about new techniques, figure out the best ways to teach and improve what they do, how they teach, what they think is important to teach...but they also have to convince parents that the school is the best place for their kids to be so there's a natural balance factor in play of "teacher collaboration", "parental buy in" and "is it actually working for my child"?

What sold me was the tour we did when my son was getting ready to start K5. Everything looked great on the tour of course. I was happy with everything that I saw, but then I started asking questions.

This was during the time that common core was being rolled out everywhere and I was seeing my friends with parents of older kids talking about how students who were previously getting straight A's or perfect scores in math were suddenly getting bad grades because they were getting the right answers the wrong ways. They were turning into stressed out, anxious basket cases who hated school. That system was being thrust on everybody so quickly by careless governance that it was causing chaos.

The dean's answer? "We also use common core here, but we decided on that a few years prior after our teachers researched it and decided it would be best. It was gradually implemented over 4-5 years and parents were communicated to about the changes along the way. The entire process was very smooth."

That sold me. We actually live where we live because it is zoned for a good public school. The option to have a school experience for my kids that wasn't going to be disrupted by dramatic changes after every election was more important to me. I wanted a stable elementary school experience and we planned to move them out to public in middle school.

Then Covid hit and the school handled things much better than public schools did for those 2 years. Now we're on to high school and the political climate is just about the strangest it's been in my lifetime with so much politics aimed at school boards, so without ever planning to there's a good chance that they'll continue here for high school too.

The educational factors are important, yes. It's a rigorous school. But the stability factor is more important. My kids love school. I didn't when I was a kid and I'm very thankful that they are in an environment that gives them that.

The religious aspects for me are good, but they would get most of the same in church. But I do like knowing that the same values we teach our kids are being modeled in their daily environments.

> Let's keep in mind that most people don't have access to basic hygiene and food safety.

I've had a website since I was in my early teens and throughout most of my career as a programmer, 20+ years.

In 2018 I became homeless in SF and still had some websites for the first couple years where I started posting stuff about being homeless. When I lack basics like hygiene and safe food is when I've felt having a website would do the most good.

I've been pretty vocal about being homeless and it's taken over my social media channels, but you can bet the content isn't surfaced much or to people who I knew in real life who might've cared or helped me out if they knew sooner. If my RSS feed wasn't dead, who knows?

Even $5/mo or $10 for a domain renewal is too much most months, lacking said and similar resources. I've not had phone service in a year, phone in need of repair and now lost to forced migration due to domestic violence. I'm aware of Obama phone but I'm also aware of spyware, data privacy and similar and have done the math--no thanks.

Not a happy story at all (I feel joy and peaceful, personally). Makes most people feel super bad. Not feeling like a victim either... I totally understand why mainstream sites don't surface real content that I post. I still post it, but having my own website with a feed or forum now of all times would be superior. Especially when I have to hold my tongue about various topics that fall too far outside of community guidelines / algorithmic fairness and could get my account suspended.

Long winded I know, just underlining that people without basic hygiene or safe food may be perfectly capable of running a web site and even custom apps with novel features, and may need to have a voice more than anyone or ever. There are mainstream options but most here can probably get behind the idea of running one's own services and owning the registration.

A solution I've had in mind is libraries running decades-long hosting services attached to member cards. Various people have expressed a little interest but I've not been persistent in following up or pushing anything forward myself. Lack of stability makes me come off as really flaky and poor at communication online and more--and look like an excuse maker for expressing such things.

How much does your GitHub account affect your chances to get your first job?
For someone who's looking for my first tech job, I apply for a lot of positions but never even make it the interview, and I know there are a lot of factors, but one thing I think is hurting my chances is the state of my github account. It's basically empty except for a few portfolio projects, no recent or consistent contributions or nothing. Am I correct to think this is something that is hurting my chances? And if so, what do I do? Just commit any code I write to github so that recruiters see that I code regularly? Also, if I keep most repositories private, will that be bad?
I can't really add much substance to that subject but from what I read construction is a highly corrupt and bureaucratically intransparent industry based on coterie, bribes and deal-making. Markets and networks an outsider won't be accepted into easily and insiders are not interested in disrupting it because they are busy making deals and money.
I think it’s an interesting question - what should the goal of a CSS “framework” be?

Because in the past, CSS struggled with achieving basic common layouts without using hacks. That’s why Bootstrap and its grid system were so popular.

But that’s not an issue anymore. Tailwind doesn’t hide much behind abstractions. So many times as a programmer, I’ve been forced to adopt tooling that promises to make something easier, only to have issues with the tooling, or it having its own learning curve etc… outweigh any benefit.

Tailwind is just easy, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered something that actually rewards underlying knowledge instead of trying to prevent the user from needing it.
I've been repeating this in my work with statewide health data. The answer to, "Is there a difference in X between group Y and group Z?" is always "Yes." No data collection or significance test needed. If you want to know if being Y or Z affects X, you need a properly controlled experiment.

Studies using observational and non-comprehensive data collection have their place. They show reality. If people in one city have an incredibly high rate of dying from heart disease, that means we could reduce premature deaths there. And we'd do that by looking at the results of controlled studies into the causes of heart disease, then see which ones are prevalent and changeable.

Regarding Penn vs. Penn State, the valedictorian at my PA high school got into both. He ended up going to the Penn State honors school, and he's doing great today. Salutatorian (same GPA actually but one fewer AP class broke the tie) went to Penn and he's also doing great. So I guess that's to say.... shrug.
