I agree with you as a parent of a kid who has been labeled as disruptive. My kid is a smart sweet loving child who has big emotions and gets overstimulated. If anything he is bullied and taken advantage of by the other kids, yet he is the one who is disciplined because he has big reactions in the school setting. Kids can be really mean. In many sense the school is inflexible largely because of budget constraints. This is why we have large class sizes. Can you imagine handling 26-30 4th graders?

I am lucky in some sense because I can afford all the therapies, private tutors and teachers as necessary. I can throw money at the problem where as many kids have parents who cannot. Even then throwing money at the problem doesn't guarantee anything. You have to find the right fit for your kid and hopefully they learn the skills they need and adapt along the way.

To the rest of the commentors in the thread, you cannot segregate kids. The schools need to adapt to them and meet them where they are. In the US Federal Law guarantees this but the reality is that schools are underfunded by a huge amount so when we talk about individualized education and special education services, everything is cookie cutter.

BTW if any parent in this thread section can recommend a great public school system with appropriate Level 3 services please reply. I can literally move anywhere. A 70k a year private school would be hard to afford right now as would a $1-2 million dollar home in said school district but there is really no good information out there for parents.
If schools don’t have competition there is no incentive to do this.
It's not surprising to me at all that the lights are on but nobody is home. There's the interesting fact that airlines really struggle to make money consistent and the phenomenon is consistent enough that several books have been written on it.
Coincidentally I just put down Edward Frenkel's "Love & Math" before opening HN to see this. In particular I was reading the chapter about the early 2000s meetings at IAS using DARPA funding to explore the links between the Langlands Program and physics. Highly recommend the book for those interested in an accessible overview of this area of math.
Running Linux on any bleeding edge device is like this. People find issues, fix issues, and then at some point, if the hardware is popular enough, it becomes plug and play.
I use cheap diaper bags from Amazon for that. They come in packs of like 100 and are very thin plastic, which I like because it ‘feels’ less wasteful even though it probably makes 0 difference.

After an initial adjustment period overall I’ve been happy with NY’s law change on plastic bags at the grocery store. It always bugged me a little bit that we feel the need to put something like a single bag of chips into another bag when you buy it (real thing I witnessed plenty).
You've heard of the school to prison pipeline right?

I’m looking forward to solutions with Linux that are vertically integrated. I know System76 is moving in this direction, but Apple will remain the king in this area in the near future.
Without vertical integration it’s a mess, no party wants to control the end to end experience and take responsibility.
That's the wrong mentality tbh

It is worse than providing a slightly non-compliant response in an (illegal) attempt to streamline their efforts. E.g., my first CCPA request to LexisNexis resulted in nothing. I had to contact their legal department to get them to comply. Their process works now.

A lot of companies that do comply, do so obviously begrudgingly. E.g., they will make you repeatedly fill out a long web form for each right you wish to exercise under the CCPA, instead of allowing you to just enter e.g., your identifying information once, and just check off each right you wish to exercise. It is malicious compliance.

Serius XM's CCPA web form, in addition to malicious design, was broken-- it simply did not work, and the number they listed to call _for CCPA requests_ turned out to be a general support number where none of the Indian call center folks even knew what a CCPA request was*.

*SeriusXM account was created by the dealer when purchasing a new car against my explicit request for them to not register me for any of the introductory "free" accounts listed as perks for the vehicle. SeriusXM (among other things) collects and sells your GPS location data-- a streaming service has no legitimate reason to collect your GPS location. I suspect they also pay dealerships a commission for signups, as the dealer had to go to extra effort to ignore my request.

Yea I think that would be a good feature to have. If you are open to more feedback... add some bit of texture to the dirt and sand and maybe a sprite for the food, I guess this would be not too difficult but I don't know. That would help orient me. I also noticed workers kind of rotating around single pixels like they were stuck for quite a few cycles. Few more ideas: seeds that slowly grow into plants and maybe worms (I love both IRL along with ants and was a huge simants fan growing up).

Unless of course by cheese I really mean iron when I say cheese.

A while back I really needed a way to invite some friends to a party and thought about how nice it was when we all used Facebook Events. So I made Facebook Events minus the Facebook (or any account).

You can make an event, send the link to your friends, and they can RSVP.

The whole thing is a two-table django app where the only js is for launching confetti. Edit permissions work via a session cookie. No accounts or logins required.

I would like evidence that police actually use the tools and evidence they already have. There are currently more than 25 thousand rape kits in the US alone that have not been tested.

That is the entire answer for "is there any interest in solving sex crimes". If the police do not have the time or the money to do the most basic work possible having already made rape victims sit through the incredibly invasive process of taking the rape kit, why should we think that anything that gives them access to the content of people's devices is going to be used for any kind of sex crime inquiry?

Police do not care about sex crimes. CSAM detection is just their new angle to get unfettered warrantless access to everyone's data. Europol representatives have already explicitly stated that that's what they want this for.
Thank you for showing me this wonderful game. That 5% is going to get a tiny bit higher:)

There are 2 modern UX problems:

- Lack of affordances when scrolling is needed, especially with disappearing scroll bars or ones that never make themselves known

- Tiny scroll bars: not just on the desktop, but on touch interfaces too
I’m not mentioning military selectivity because it is highly variable based on the strength of the US economy.

In the Army for example, the highest ASVAB averages are held by infantry & special forces (which is ironic given the low ASVAB requirements for infantry). Many people join the infantry for 4 years only, as a part of a “See action, travel, shoot guns” post highschool before college mindset.
... Ya know, I haven't thought about that before, but screens are a lot brighter now aren't they. I wonder how much of the dark mode thing is just that the old good defaults are now eye-burningly bright, so of course people don't like them as much.

This isn't limited to being a problem for those with fine motor control issues.

The wheel has a linear/constant speed, which is a hindrance for very long pages. Also, wheel scroll can behave differently depending on where the mouse cursor is or has focus. The scroll bar has none of these problems.

The incentive is : keep your job / don't get sued.

The law requires certain accommodations for students with disabilities and local elections should handle the rest. All that requires is an engaged community and parents can be extremely vocal/involved. Cities can have good reason to lean on schools too, because good schools bring people into an area and they bring money with them. In that sense, public schools do compete. Families and young adults looking to start them don't want to move to areas without good schools.

Incentives are there, it just takes work and paying attention. A lot of people don't even bother voting in local elections and those that do don't always give much thought to who to elect as superintendent or to the school board. When communities don't take the time to invest in their schools they don't get much out of them. It's part of the reason why poor communities that lack the time/money/energy to be as involved tend to have poorer quality schools. Adding to that are the wealthy families that move to where schools are better or don't move into those areas at all.
Linux overall trackpad support is WAY better now than 5 years ago, but gnome/kde/drivers have room to grow to be as good as Apple. Framework is getting close though to my ideal laptop. The Dell XPS line is also a good linux choice too.

It’s a shame that they don’t compare against mimalloc which is another Microsoft project and it’s unclear which tcmalloc they are comparing against (the gperftools one is stale and performs worse than the current standalone release)
I've had my Framework 12 over a year now, so maybe I can give some perspective. I had a lot of similar issues (mostly with wifi) running Fedora when I first got it. I also felt like I wasted a lot of time getting it set up and fixing little bugs here and there.

But I'm happy to say that after the first two weeks or so, it's been rock solid. The issues I had with wifi were patched pretty quickly, and everything else pretty much just works with the default configuration. The only thing is the battery life is still bad, partly because I have way too much RAM...

What does nationality or sex, or age of a victim have to do with anything?

"Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims."

If anything, killing some unrelated foreigners is hard to map to any political aims Hamas may have had... So that's just pointless murder, perhaps.

Anyway, it's kinda pointless to throw the word terrorism around, when both sides are using violence and fear for political goals, at times, and Israel at much larger scale, usually. It brings no helpful clarity to the situation.
I agree with your analogy, but for a large team, you can't ignore the 'broken window theory' [1] as it applies to code quality. If the codebase is messy and inconsistent, even in those 'hidden' files, developers are going to be less inclined to implement their new feature(s) with any consistency or quality. "I'll just hack this thing in here, since we really need to rewrite this entire module anyway; we'll clean it up then..."

Minimaps are the best, absolutely agreed.

Large, visible, and provides room for metadata like selected lines, errors, etc. I want them practically everywhere, even when they don't seem to make sense - widescreen monitors mean there's more than enough wasted horizonal space, it wasn't doing anything useful anyway.
makes sense to have mutually beneficial terms in b2b, where at least some of the time the MSA gets negotiated and there's like a security checklist in the purchase process

> Env vars cannot be changed at runtime

You can specify env vars any time you boot up an image. I see this as a benefit. I use containers for production and don’t want wild ssh yolo modifications. I want to have very clear immutable inputs.

> mount a volume with the config file

Sure, but where? And what if you need multiple files for multiple different things to configure? What’s to prevent someone from accidentally putting non config files into that volume or accidentally changing the permissions on the file or any other host of things that we just don’t have to reinvent if we use env vars.
You are conflating two unrelated issues:
1. Letting students learn their own way as opposed to memorizing teachers' instructions
2. Letting disruptive kids disrupt education of their classmates

#1 is good, #2 is bad. In fact #1 never works when #2 is present.
I wonder what kind of battery-life Framework users get?

I've recently gotten an Elitebook 845 G10 which runs on a Ryzen 7 Pro 7840HS, and battery life was at first shit. The issue was with the BIOS being bugged and not allowing ASPM. After manually activating, I now get around 12-15 hours on a 50Wh battery, depending on use of course. Results still preliminary though, more testing needs to be done.

Btw, I chose the Elitebook because it actually features great repairability. Pretty much everything can be swapped out, including memory. I was reluctant to buy HP, mostly due to the reputation they earned with their printer business shenanigans, but so far don't regret the purchase at all. In fact I like this device more and more.

Pretty much everything worked out of the box with ArchLinux, except for ASPM, which I was able to fix within a couple hours.

edit: Oh and the main motivation behind preferring the Elitebook over the Framework was the price. I mean really? Upgrade to 7840 almost 400 Euro? Lenovo charges like 80 Euro for that. For 1200 Euro I got the aforementioned CPU with a beautiful 120hz, 500nits, 2560x1600 screen, 2x16GB 5600 DDR5 SO-DIMM, 1TB NVME, etc. But it was a student offer.
Why do the files have bad permissions to start with?
> I don't think anyone is going to say "offering parents more choices is bad."

Well, I will say that more-choice is not axiomatically good.

Imagine that on Monday the cafeteria has a choice of beef/chicken/vegetarian, and on Tuesday it adds a fourth option for methamphetamines.

There is strictly more choice, and the people who choose it might even express extreme levels of satisfaction... but somehow it doesn't seem like an improvement.
I dont understand why do you supposedly know yet pretend to think there is mysterious 5Wh situation. Just makes no sense. Only one of those can be true at the same time. Same for "3.85V battery". If you know you know.
I’ve recently been suffering from persistent tinnitus.

I think you’re 5-10 years late unless you turn yourself into a GenAI/Machine Learning specialist very quickly. The Bay Area has attracted the worst type of people to compete with. It’s packed full of gold miners and even more shovel sellers. Try somewhere else.

Do you have any money? Are you technically savvy? Can you take a 12 months course from a reputable institution that may award you a ML qualification?

Turn your age and background into a strength. You’re mature, dependable, hungry, professional. You show up, you get it, you can relate with the middle age hiring manager. You need a chance and you won’t waste it like some 25 year old jib hopping. You’re willing to work for a little less but not much less.
Hi!

I'm generally not a person to die on hills like this, but the disappearing scroll bars on macOS have really been a point of significant contention for me. Sometimes I just want to click and drag a scrollbar. And it seemingly takes an act of god to get it to appear (you can't just hover, you have to two-finger scroll first). And then in order to get it to stay, you need to keep your mouse horizontally positioned on the scroll bar. If you click+drag and your mouse moves away from the scroll bar area and release the mouse button (even if your mouse does not move), the scroll bar disappears.

In my perfect world, the scroll bar would appear if you hover in the right spot for long enough. And if you drag it and release, it would stick around until 1.) you move the cursor >0 pixels and 2.) a reasonable timeout passes, or it's obvious you've moving your cursor away from the scroll bar.

I'll note that Slack's desktop app _just works_ the way I wish scroll bars would work (it just appears and stays if your cursor is in the content area), though I think it's because they implement them manually.
>How do I realistically compete with those who are younger, more nimble, with impressive educational & professional backgrounds?

Most devs out there right now are hot garbage, even with 10+ years experience and a degree. I just went through a few rounds of interviewing applicants, so I know. If you are passionate about it, you need to be building stuff in your spare time and learning constantly. If you don't like it that much, the field probably isn't for you.

If you are really starting from scratch, hit up the recruiting/job sites in your area and learn the language that has the most jobs. You need to learn database too.

It's a word that starts with a, then 11 letters, then ends in y. The format is not hard to grok once you understand it then context and sheer elimination leaves only a few choices

edit: I will say this is a bad example because looking it up there is 40+ words that fit this description so maybe I am biased by experience. i18n works better but I think my point is no longer correct.
Often, you don't even need to lift a finger, design-wise or implementation-wise, to have good accessibility. The system-wide or toolkit defaults are usually quite accessible right out of the box. macOS's horrible disappearing scrollbars being a huge exception.

Most of the terrible designs and accessibility problems stem from software going out its way to write custom controls or force controls to look and behave in a non-default way. It's not an afterthought--people are deliberately adding code to make their software worse.
