Again, what is your expertise in education? Why do you think “equity” is driving disparate outcomes, let alone more disparate outcomes?

Do you actually think that any teachers are being taught that their primary job is to create activists (and do you have a source), or are you just repeating X memes because being angry feels good? What, specifically, do you think an education degree consists of, and what is your personal experience with that curriculum?

I can’t imagine you’re continuing to make sweeping pronouncements about something I’ve already asked you if you have any experience with.
I had one of the UDBs back in the late 90s and used it as a MP3 server/foot heater running RH 5.2 (I believe; it's been 25+ years). My wife made me recycle it when we were cleaning out our house before our first child.

I should have kept it as a combo doorstop and space heater.

The reasoning in the article goes way beyond such a simple statement. A simple fact being true does not magically make all related arguments true.

I applied to 250 jobs and timed how long each one took
Hey HN - I timed how long it took me to go through the application process of 250 jobs. Some of my key findings:

- On average, it took a bit over two and a half minutes (162 seconds) to apply to a job.

- If company size doubles, the application time increases by 5%. If company size increases by a factor of 10, then the app time increases by 20%.

- Being a government company is the single largest determinant of a long application, followed closely by aerospace and consulting firms.

- The longest application time went to the United States Postal Service (10 minutes and 12 seconds).

- On the other hand, It took me just 17 seconds to apply to Renaissance Technologies.

- Older ATS like Workday and Taleo make job applications as much as 128% longer.

Oh, they're still at it. In my relatively recent experience Mongo will still try to sell you on the idea of abandoning relational workloads because migrations are hard and schemas are optional.
here in Coastal California we definitely hear about the historical topic as social stress rises generally.. given the museum exhibit in DC and the history of commercial slavery in North America.. it strikes me as profound that many (most?) of the active slave owners and traders in the USA were actually killed in a short time span, called the US Civil War. The anger and resentment and race hate culminating in literally shooting and killing on such a mass scale. The literal, physical brutality of entire cycle seems so distant in the modern time.

Since so much of the literate, conscious slave trade comes from societies of Central Asia (apparently also elements of Sweden and England, and of course the Portugese).. I was curious and asked an observant Muslim here about slavery.. he just looked calmly and replied "it was time for it to end" .. I got the feeling that the Muslim world had some kind of internal reckoning, and did (mostly) end the slavery trade at a certain time, similar time frame to the Civil War.

From the outside, not a specialist here.. it seems like the remaining modern slave trade is mostly driven by raw commerce.. like the fishing boats for example.. Zooming out, it seems like selling known-addictive drugs has similar drives..
Not very environment-friendly, though.
My point is that this view of the "general population" is extremely skewed. I would wager that more than half of smartphone users do not have any use case for their phone aside from calling, texting, and scrolling social media. Despite years of the technology existing, no one has come forward with a use case for "smart" glasses that has even had remotely broad appeal with the general public. It's all hype backed up by descriptions of niche uses.

In my opinion, if you haven't measured something then it's kinda disingenuous to make objective-seeming quantifiable claims about it. Especially without including a qualifier like "in my experience... " or "I'd speculate that... ".

Seems like very unfortunate wording then as irreversible is exactly what I thought
Apart from everything else, having to remove the battery to access the microSD card is a weird choice. Android has always been able to handle SD swapping without a restart, and an Android cold start takes quite a long time (unlike the old phones which this design harks back to).

Permission is one. (A pretty important one, at that.)

A second is funding, the prospect of becoming profitable. This hurdle, Framework seems to have taken (for now), but it also seems to be stopping competitors (for now).

Yeah, she had it "off" for the lecture and turned it on during the break, which is when they reached her (in Sweden course lectures are almost always divided into several 45 min blocks, with a break in between each block).
Thanks, I was wondering why they were advertising the process to be impossible. A better term would have been "reversible".
Nice blog post. Since it also looks to be acting as a job search post, you may want to remove all the f words from there..
Totally fair. My thinking is that means you could lug around a lot less battery weight (ie, make the all-electric range 60 miles or so), basically just enough to complete the average amount of driving a car does in a day and operate on the assumption that most cars would get plugged in every night. In return, you'd get the ability to use the existing energy distribution infrastructure built around roadways (ie, gas stations) whenever you wanted to drive your car further than it could go on a charge. I'd also assume that the ICE/generator combo could be tuned to operate entirely within whatever window results in highest efficiency for the ICE engine, which should be a notable improvement on the way ICE efficiency varies by speed in traditional cars.

I'm not saying that there aren't tradeoffs, just saying that it feels like an interesting idea. Enough so that I'm not at all sure why it didn't take off.
> all Android phones (last I checked) being phablet-sized

Major manufacturers, Apple included, keep making phones bigger; it's frustrating. However, I think it's a bit unfair to say that, for instance, the Pixel A-series (which I've used for years) is "phablet sized".

The current flagship iPhones are 6.7" (iPhone 15 Pro Max, $1199) and 6.1" (iPhone 15 Pro, $999). The current flagship Pixel phones are 6.3" (Pixel 7, $599) and 6.1" (Pixel 7a, $499).

> Android phones are basically ad consumption devices

It's possible that this is a fair criticism of some Android devices, but with YouTube Vanced/ReVanced and Firefox with AdBlock Plus, I haven't seen an obtrusive ad on my phone in years.

There are many things iPhones do better than Android devices, but these two criticisms are basically nonsense.

Edit: Apple also has a very small phone in the iPhone SE, but they're not continuing to produce those (per latest reports, anyway) so it doesn't strike me as a fair comparison. If we include older generations of products, there are tons of small Android phones.

> This looks very nice indeed but I see a few possible problems which I have seen with pg_repack which might apply to this approach as well:

Thank you for your input! I'm one of the pgroll authors :)

> You can't change table names unless you take a lock. How exactly do you switch the original table to be a view pointing to the original table? The docs don't go into detail how this is done exactly, I'll check the code later.

pgroll only performs operations requiring a short lock, like renaming a table. It sets a lock timeout for these operations (500ms by default), to ensure we avoid lock contention if other operations are taking place. We plan to add an automatic retry mechanism for these timeouts so there is no need for manual intervention.

One cool thing about views is that they will automatically get updated when you rename a table/column, so the view keeps working after the rename.

> It looks like the tool maintains two copies of the table but how exactly this copy process is done isn't explained. A potential issue is that you need to have disk space and I/O capacity available to support this.
> The copy table + trigger approach might not work for databases of significant size. For example I have seen instances with >50k qps on a table where it is not possible to run pg_repack because it never catches up and it also doesn't ever manage to take the lock which is needed to switch to the new table. This can be simulated with overlapping long running queries.

pgroll doesn't really copy full tables, but individual columns when needed (for instance when there is a constraint change). It is true that I/O can become an issue, backfilling is batched but the system should have enough capacity for it to happen. There are some opportunities to monitor I/O and throttle backfilling based on it.
Supermarkets aren’t judged on their ability to sell meat that has expired, or stale bread, or other suboptimal products. Public schools are required to educate everyone.

This is a bad comparison and another example of why “free market education” is nonsense.
OK, but search engines are direct indexes where the way your site looks to them have a direct impact on the search placement of the site to end users as well as the preview content they see before clicking a link. But AI is not that direct. You need to connect the dots on how making my site easier to read by AIs actually helps me. What problem does it solve? Helping AI-based chatbots rehash my content without sending people to my site... that doesn't help me in the slightest. Neither does that leaderboard in your video -- what in the world does a leaderboard on your site have to do with any of my business concerns?

And honestly, I see no problem with that. If I can in-house my customer service or have AI do it better, why would I spend time or money doing anything else?

Not that I don't feel bad for people in developing economies, I absolutely do - they've spent a while and a lot of money trying to master a skill (English language communication) that is now obsolete? That sucks, but it's the way the world works, sadly.
One thing that the financial press is looking at is where the courts draw the line between incompetence and outright fraud.

Everyone agrees that FTX funneled money from FTX customers accounts to Alemada. The government is claiming this is fraud, SBF is claiming it was just allowing Alemeda to have more leverage than other clients.

Everyone agrees that FTX gave SBF's parents $30M in real estate. The government is claiming this was fraud, SBF is claiming that it was just payment for work done by his parents for FTX.

Everyone agrees that a large part of Alemeda's balance sheet were coins that only had value because they held almost all of them and only they transacted in them, thereby allowing them to keep the price high. The government claims this is accounting fraud and SBF claims this was just a bad marking of their price.

Everyone agrees that FTX bought around $100 million in Bahamian realestate. The government says this was stealing from FTX's customers, while SBF is claiming this was just to house FTX employees.

Everyone agrees that FTX paid $100's of millions to celebrity endorsers and arena naming deals. The government claims the source of these funds were customers money. SBF claims that both FTX's own cash and customers funds were just one big pool that he just didn't have enough accounting and risk management rules enforced on that large pool of resources to know that FTX ran out of money and he was using customers funds to buy things.

I'm not an expert in case law but one thing that stand out to me is just how many of SBF's "friends" and partners have fully turned on him and will testify against him. Caroline Ellison, the CEO of Alameda, Gary Wang, the CTO of FTX and Nishad Singh, FTX' engineering director have all signed cooperation agreements.

Also rumours are that SBF will testify, which short of Trump testifying , seems like the worst possible person to take the stand.

The winners in this will be the bankruptcy lawyers and people who had cash on had to buy FTX customer claims for 20-30% on the dollar. I think funds that had the forsight to buy these claims and create a side car for their investment will do very well.

The yield on this trade though will be determined mostly by the recovery rate and probably more so by the time it takes the lawyers to pay out claims as I've never met a bankruptcy lawyer who was in a hurry to part with the cash and lucrative billing rates they make.

One other thing i'm watching but not related to the trials is how far back FTX's bankruptcy lawyers go after people who withdrew money from FTX.

With Maddoff the bankruptcy lawyers went after anyone who took money out going back many years. Supposedly there were a few larger hedge funds who took money out of FTX weeks before it went under and stopped withdrawls. There is plenty of precedence for the trustees to go after those funds to ask for the withdrawls back.
Not that I’m aware of but to be honest, I doubt I’ll have that problem. 42km of EV-only range means that every so often, I’ll need the ICE. Plus, I have a heavy foot, so if I want to experience all 340 ponies, I gotta fire up the ICE.

That said, the appeal of EV-only and adaptive cruise control means I drive more calmly. Most of the time.

Just need to get a Comma 3X running on this and I’ll be set!
In comparison, 10 million would mean less than a day if it was refreshed every 64ms. Even a billion would mean only 2 years worth of cycles.

I think a trillion, or at very least 10s-100s billion is the correct amount of cycles for RAM.
Actually fairly incredible that you can still get spare parts for a 8 year old smart phone (the Fairphone 2). The problem from my POV was, that the hardware specs were already way past their expiration date when I sold mine 3 years ago, even when using rather unexciting apps, making spare parts somewhat obsolete.

Are later FPs set up to offer chip upgrades to avoid this dilemma?
When the entire argument has been refuted and there's nothing left but fallacious appeals to motive, I tend to move on rather than engage in pathetic and embarrassing rhetoric.

Hi there. I'm a computer graphics technologist with 30+ years of professional experience. I try to mostly find Rust R&D gigs lately (last three years). I also get booked to fill architect or PO roles. If I was looking for a full time role it would be a CTO position.

I'm good with everything around teams and software. I have extensive experience leading people, communicating vision, ideation, design, and everything pertaining to software as a product. I am also professional level CG artist. I have been working in technical VFX production (predomintantly R&D) for 15 years. Then in software dev for VFX for five, then as a manager in geospatial mapping/map rendering for another five years. I've been consulting/freelancing after, since 2020.

That seems contrived and kind of stupid?

Why would a random user account have access to `sudo logrotate`? logrotate is presumably for rotating logs, and the only need for root is to rotate system logs. So under what circumstances does it make sense for a random, otherwise unprivileged user to have ability to rotate system logs, but not the ability to do other administrative tasks?

It's also a tool that operates on random user-specified files, so makes for an absolutely terrible choice of command to let an unprivileged user to run.

I suppose the intent here is showing how a supposedly restricted sudo ability can be exploited into something bigger. That is a good point, but I think logrotate makes for a weird example of it.

Also, use journald and just have it deal with that. If there's a need to deal with log rotation by hand something isn't setup quite right.
Whoops, it wasn’t sparc but PowerPC. I’ve also got a copy of CodeWarrior for sparc. Lots of oldies but goodies. A few big boxes of them. Someday I’ll have to do something with them. Not sure if I’d get sued if I rip them and post them someplace.
Oh yeah of course many of them are top notch - but it feels like ivy's produce a lot more duds too.
Patrick Boyle lays out the evidence that SBF's parents were intimately involved in the scam and likely attempted to hide assets. If true, they should be tried as well: https://youtu.be/gLvOT2AldwM?si=QCQv4j1VUrDX_cyf
You don't need to refresh non-DRAM memories though.

I agree that some regions risk being R/W more than others, so memory controllers should indeed perform some kind of wear levelling, but otherwise I find it hard to imagine trillions of overwrites across GBs (or TBs) of data. 1e6 cycles is definitely doable, and on the low side, even for flash devices. 1e9 is pretty good for general-purpose memories, and few applications require 1e12. Not even SRAM or DRAM have unlimited endurance, due to physical wear. It's hard to find a source on this, but I would probably hand wave it at around 1e15 cycles for DRAM? This would be 30 years of operation for one access every microsecond.
That is a funny word. I am a big proponent of in-word dashes, which in this case could help clarify. It is "undo-able", not "un-doable".
Ask HN: Get paid to emit less CO2
Hi guys,
I was thinking about how a person could modify his lifestyle to emit less CO2 and money comes to my mind.

Generally speaking, for a person, move from 5 tons of CO2 emitted by year to 3 tons of CO2 emitted by year, could be very challenging.

Do you think that money can leverage this?

Let me know your opinions :)
Does it really use a dynamo? I would have expected an alternator with an electronic rectifier instead.
Context is important.

All of those competing architectures were becoming prohibitively expensive to enhance.

Alpha never paid for itself, ever, the market share was too small. POWER and SPARC had multiple failed projects with enormous capital costs. MIPS hit a performance dead-end with such low market share SGI saw no way to rebuild. HPPA was bleeding HP dry.

Itanium may have hastened their demise but all of these archs had the same core problems with investment returns. The writing was on the wall, and Intel was offering something people desperately wanted. (Unfortunately for everyone involved, it did not pan out.)
Hmm thanks. I think that might be slightly different but I’ll try it out and see.
Most use it like that the post uses a limited form where only certain commands can be ran.
That would depend on the specifics. You’d want to discuss it with an attorney.
The law doesn't clearly state what's illegal. In this case, it barely mumbles and gestures at it. In applying the law, it is inevitable that it will have to be more precisely defined (or, worse, applied inconsistently).
