In addition to location and other comments, this is also a manifestation of the parents feeling the larger macroeconomic trends. The divide between haves and have nots, and the shrinking middle class are pushing parents to drive their kids to be upper class at all costs.

Whether or not true, going to public school and community college (or no college at all gasp) looks to be parents to be setting their kids up for a life of struggle.

Calculators solve problems that have exactly one correct answer. You cannot plagiarize a calculator. They are easy to incorporate into a math curriculum while ensuring that it stays educationally valuable to the students.

LLM's, the internet, even physical books all tend to deal primarily with subjective matters that can be plagiarized. They're not fundamentally different from each other; the more advanced technologies like search engines or LLM's simply make it easier to find relevant content that can be copied. They actually remove the need for students to think for themselves in a way calculators never did. LLM's just make it so easy to commit plagiarism that the system is starting to break down. Plagiarism was always a problem, but it used to be rare enough that the education system could sort-of tolerate it.
Jeez, that sucks, sorry you had to endure such a toxic environment. I hope you're working in a more psychologically-safe workplace now. I've worked in the full spectrum from probably-legally-actionable toxicity to extremely welcoming/safe and productive environments and can definitely say I won't tolerate the toxic shit for a second anymore. It's easy for me to say that because I have a lot of experience, and I absolutely feel for ppl who are early in their career and don't feel they have the flexibility to flee a toxic work environment..

I was initially too, but upon reading said Pricing page was pleasantly surprised.
> Cynicism refers to a negative appraisal of human nature—a belief that self-interest is the ultimate motive guiding human behavior.

This is a poor starting point, since there are also neutral and positive appraisals of self-interest as the ultimate motive. That includes biologists from Darwin to Dawkins and economists from Smith to Hayek.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages.

If you agree with Smith's famous dictum, self-interest is not by itself a negative appraisal. Most moral views can be interpreted as compatible with self-interest, if that is defined in a sufficiently long term. Can someone who has a neutral or positive appraisal of natural human self-interest in general be cynical? If not, and if human nature is actually driven by self-interest, then a non-negative attitude toward it is healthier.
Are you referring to bidirectional syncing built into Jetbrains IDEs? If so, I have mixed feelings about it.

I gave this setup a go with PhpStorm. Host-to-VM sync is pretty seamless but you always have to manually sync changes from the guest to the host, so there’s that. Additionally, syncing can be very slow on large directory trees. I often found myself staring at a loading animation waiting for the IDE to catch all the changes and sync them to the guest.

AFAIK it is not recommended to open a project located on a network drive in a Jetbrains IDE but my experience with it so far has been great. Latency is not a concern because the VM is local.

Most importantly, I wanted to avoid a syncing situation where you have the source and the destination with two possibly differing states. This difference implies the possibility of conflicts which complicates things even further.
Sounds like this is a hill you're willing to die on
I guess the point is not that other companies also have products with unrelated names, but if you happen to be familiar with Y then saying "Amazon x is just Amazon's version of Y" is very succinct.
One of the biggest challenges with electronics is that the abstractions are leaky. We see this as well sometimes in software. You may be writing a project in C++ and you keep getting segmentation faults and other memory errors, so you need to know something about assembly language and the computer's memory architecture if you want to be most effective at troubleshooting these issues.

At another level of abstraction, say Python programming, you're much less likely to have to deal with this issue because memory is managed for you. You can get a lot done with Python without ever needing to know anything about the lower levels. Python is a much more solid abstraction than C++, which is leaky.

Electronics is even worse than C++. All of the rules and formulas with lumped matter abstractions change when you move into the realm of high frequency signals. A circuit you build to operate at low frequency may fail utterly at high frequency due to transmission line effects. The Arduino/Adafruit communities try to get around these issues by largely operating at low speeds and confining much of the high speed stuff (radios) to built-in modem circuits and antennas.

But even at low speeds, you still have issues with things like impedance, current, etc. Beginners hoping to run an electric motor on the IO pins of their Arduino are going to be confused and frustrated when it doesn't work. Not only that, but experimentation in electronics can result in electric shocks and even fires if users don't know what they're doing. This is one area where software has a big advantage: it's pretty hard to do physical damage to your property (or your health) with a Python script.

I also notice many people advocating "directness" tend to be bad with words. You may be paid to code, but you're still a professional expected to know how to communicate with peers and everyone else involved. Take time in both your craft and words.
I think you conveniently stopped reading before point 3.

> The government does, in fact, have the power to regulate some speech. When the rights and liberties of others are in serious jeopardy, speakers who provoke others into violence, wrongfully and recklessly injure reputations or incite others to engage in illegal activity may be silenced or punished.

The twitter files only showed that the government lobbied for changes, and that Twitter agreed to some changes. There is also evidence in those files that Twitter also refused some requests. we can hem and haw about the validity of the requests all day but I want to ask this: If you were a big enough media site that you become a potential public safety/national security risk (something like 90+M American users), what do you propose you should do when the government takes notice and starts contacting you?

Do you think Twitter should have just ignored all emails from the government about public safety threats? Do you think they should have had a policy of just throwing government correspondence in the big ole customer service heap and handled national security and public safety issues in 10-12 business days? when government agencies contact you about potential threats/issues would you take them seriously or laugh in their face? Did these government actors threaten Twitter with legal action or just request action be taken about certain content?

I don't want to be in the position of defending the FBI or a big corporation here, but I think if you have concerns about the conduct of Twitter or government here, the 1st amendment can't be your legal foundation here. You need to 1) contact your representatives about reducing FBI/DHS overreach and potentially restructure their responsibilities and funding. If you have an issue with the FBI we can do something about it together other than yelling about liberal bias at Twitter 2) actually have meaningful conversations about how you think social media should handle things like misinformation, extremism, and hatespeech. Because 0 moderation is not the answer and will never create healthy communities. And 3) think critically about what avenues government can and should use to make requests when it comes to issues of public health. Government is always going to want to keep tabs on what goes on in public forums and have concerns and it's the platforms decision as to whether or not to heed advice. I agree that we should be concerned about any legal threats are attached to requests, but I dont think you'll ever stop government from contacting major platforms that have a major affect on their constituents altogether.

The biggest problem with UTM is that it works great for some people, and works terribly for others.

Seriously, scroll up and down on the threads here on this page, and you'll see a bunch of people saying "I wish I could use UTM, but it doesn't work / is unusably slow" and a bunch of people replying "weird, it works great for me."

My experience: UTM has literally never worked for me. I just tried to do a bog standard Ubuntu ARM install on my M1 2021 Mac, following the guide here https://docs.getutm.app/guides/ubuntu/ and it failed. I'm staring at a blinking cursor on a black screen.

Sadly, the people for whom it works great can't really provide any useful technical support for the people for whom it doesn't work.

I even paid $10 for UTM on the Mac App Store, like a sucker, hoping that I could get some tech support that way, but the only tech support channel is their Discord, which is full of randos saying "lol, works for me, skill issue."

My recommendation: Give UTM a try! Either you'll love it, and save a bunch of money, or it won't work at all, like me, and you'll just have to pay $100/year for Parallels. Parallels is probably gonna just work.

If Parallels doesn't work for you, you can reach out to them and talk to a person who can help, because they want you to keep paying to renew your Parallels license. They're incentivized to help you succeed.

The idea of (at least one) population bottleneck in the evolutionary history of humans is fairly widely accepted. I haven't reviewed the paper or methods but generally their results fit the range of expectations of many in the field.

This new paper is interesting in that they developed a new method in population genomics specifically to attempt to pin down all of: the time, the duration, and the size of the population.

There are many earlier papers describing different methods for arriving at similar conclusions. The below paper used similar genetic signatures from bottleneck events such as the loss of rare alleles. Their methods were different. It explains one such process fairly well and is available to read:

This is true, and it is puzzling how people think that there are geniuses, evil or otherwise, who have planned the educational system so as to achieve some sort of results for the society at large that go beyond the mundane.

Where the mundane is keeping young people out of the streets, maybe teach them arithmetic and some grammar. And the leaders, that is, the teachers, want, most of the time, just to bring home a salary, not funnel the masses from schools to office desks or assembly lines.
I considered this, but I decided that the 100% confidence I had in a bug-free-experience (including crashes and risk of save-game loss) on the native hardware was worth the better experience I was likely to have at a higher risk playing on the MacBook M1 Ultra at 4k. I don't really regret it. My TV added "simulated HDR" and I played with frame-smoothing on for a simulated 120FPS. Yes there was latency but in this game it never mattered. Not even a little bit. I enjoyed every one of the 175 hours I spent in TOTK.
> they're basically dumped in a suburb

They are not "dumped in a suburb" by the authorities but actively choose to move there. This is made possible by a law - EBO or "eget boende" (own accommodations) - which gives asylum seekers and their relatives the right to choose their own domicile. The current government wants to abolish this law [1] since it makes it harder to integrate/assimilate people who end up living in ethnically segregated areas.

That's super impressive. How many discrete events did they observe?

The Tungsten isotope page lists two alpha decays per year per gram, that must have been quite the mass of Tungsten if they got a usable signal out of that. Amazing result, if you think about it: your measurement is so accurate that you can measure you measuring gear falling apart.
A heating element is basically just a resistor, right? Which means if you run one on half the design voltage it'll draw half the current it's meant to and produce ¼ the power.

I use reddit significantly less now. I'd say ~90% drop in usage considering that I used to access it every single day for multiple topics.

I still go there for certain information, but now I really only look at it maybe once a week. And usually that is exclusive to acquiring game related information.

I was a heavy user of the Sync app, so my mobile usage of reddit has gone from "A lot" to 0.

If you fill to the minimum line (0.5L) instead of the maximum (1.7L), it will boil in under 1 minute.

One explanation I've seen is it's the need for emotional, and now intellectual comfort. The average mind is small and can deal with few ideas at a time. When such a mind is exposed to a different idea, it's already overwhelmed with the few it already has, and instinctively rejects the new idea.
Secure boot doesn’t fix the first one because a buffer overflow exploit won’t get verified and prevented by the boot signature verification. As with all DRM schemes it mostly only hurts your legitimate customers.

The second is uninteresting because often they can just get your exact product off the same assembly line after hours.

I’ve heard of a third, which is a concern that having the option to load unapproved software somehow compromises the security of everyone else. I don’t buy it.
Back in the 80s Twix was called Raider in Germany and, I believe all of continental Europe, up until the early 90s, when they decided to standardise on Twix Europe-wide. So they flooded the airwaves with this rhyming advertisement jingle:

Raider heisst jetzt Twix, sonst ändert sich nix.

(Raider is now known as Twix, nothing else changes.)

Ever since the Twitter/X renaming my brain short circuits and I got this annoying jingle stuck in my head. Twix - harmful even 30 years later.
I've been using Outlook since 1997 and this is the first time I heard that Outlook supported Usenet. This is what I mean, even if it was theoretically supported, it wasn't discoverable. If you knew what to connect to and how to wire up Outlook, sure, you could get it going.

But let's take something else from the same era and provide a comparison for the average user: yahoo.com. You typed it into the browser, and you were instantly presented with several hundred interesting links. No config necessary, just click and go. The UX needed to be that simple.

Actually discovering good channels on Usenet took time and investment. As opposed to Reddit, for example, which used upvotes and decay based algorithms (also, see HN) to make fresh subreddits discoverable on the main feed.
Certainly a major purpose.
Not sure I agree, my understanding of most charities is that they aren't unconditional, and they don't transfer cash, but other things instead.

That said, charity in the broader sense of "giving people stuff" would apply, but there are affective (i.e. psychological, emotional, and social) issues with this. Instead, mutuality and mutual aid focus on building relationships between people where they both provide acknowledged value to each other. This solves issues such as saviour/unworthiness complex, by binding people together in relationships where they support each other, which are more durable in the long term.
This feels less of polymorphism eroding type safety as it is aliased terms eroding it. Stated differently, programming/abstraction doesn't protect you from synonyms.

That is, it means different things to iterate over all allowed values of a list than it does to iterate over the existence of something. That they can be abstractly described in the same way feels powerful, of course, but such is the case of powerful tools?
"saying no to spreadsheets in 2023"

I just don't get this sentiment. Nothing lets me model free-form questions as quickly, easily and effectively as opening up Excel. I get there are better tools for specialized or defined problems, but the spreadsheet is still my go-to general purpose tool.
I often do complicated reports in SQL or complicated transformations in SQL for system migrations. To really write a query and 'get it right' you usually need insider knowledge that you can't glean from the column names.

I see in their training set they've got comments about columns too. e.g.

"Country" TEXT NOT NULL, - country where the singer born

But thats still not enough.

You also need a bunch of information about the real business that the data is describing. And you also need to analyse the whole database - is that field actually used? What are the common values for this picklist? What does that status actually mean in terms of business? If there are two of those rows that match the join but I want to avoid duplicates, which one do I take? - the newest, or the one with a certain status? etc.
Good thinking and it's a rule I live by.

I do not share anything digitally that would backlash if revealed. Also not in private digital spaces. Not in work chat. Not even on a private device in a note. Nowhere.

Digitally, I do not gossip. I have no political opinion on divisive topics. I have no nudes. I don't swear in game chat. There is no smoking gun to be found at all even if you get full access to my entire digital life.
> Apple grants virtualization to the commoners and people rejoiced

Nobody rejoiced. Everyone who virtualises macOS complains about the limit. It's a shame, they made it so much easier to create macOS VMs on M2 (Metal finally just works!!), but then they crippled them on purpose (no iCloud, no App Store, max 2 VMs enforced by the virtualisation framework)

I wonder if you could go after them on anti-competitive grounds? I'm pretty sure the machines that Xcode cloud run on are not limited to 2 VMs.

In reality, we tend towards one extreme. So to correct that, there is nothing wrong with over-correcting and leaning back if it becomes a problem. This is assuming benevolent actors, of course.
