I hope that people who suffer from exhaustion and a lack of breaks are setting realistic expectations for themselves, and not simply assuming that they need to push themselves to (or past) their limit. It is a rare manager who encourages you to work less, but it is (in my experience) a common manager who understands that breaks and self care are important. They just need to be reminded sometimes. You can push back, and a healthy organization will respect you for it.

I don't think their codebases are particularly connected: AFAIK Desmos is a client-side browser app, so the software is distributed to the user for using in that way, which seems incompatible with the GPL3+ licensing of the GeoGebra codebase.

Funny and sad all at the same time.
Over the years I've had a lot of discussions around 12 factor apps and encountered a lot of confusion. I find that the 12-factor site is great, but mainly for people that already understand why those things are important.

For people that don't already understand the why behind the rules, it took more in-depth explanation. For that purpose, I made the video: "What are 12 Factor Apps and Why Should You Care?"[1]. I know of a couple of companies that use that for new-hire orientation for engineers/devops that have said it's been really helpful.

Regardless where you get the information, it's worth taking an hour or two to learn about 12-factor apps. Most of these "rules" are just things that take awareness and aren't immediately obvious unless you've learned them all the hard way by making the mistakes and feeling the pain.

To me, "agile" in these discussions only apportions blame, it's orthogonal to the quality of software.

When it's an agile project, either devs will choose to do the right thing, or too many developers will work on new features, whether because it gives them more visibility or because they like working on features more. And when it's not agile, either you have a product/team manager that understands the importance of not drowning in tech debt, or you have a manager that constantly prioritizes features over quality.

Neither approach guarantees that the right choices will be made, just that in Agile, the developers mostly have themselves to blame.

The Cochrane Collaboration does systematic reviews of the research into health interventions.

There are quite a few reviews of different tinnitus interventions here, from zinc supplements to cognitive behavioral therapy
https://www.cochranelibrary.com/search

One common theme skimming through is that there is no intervention known to be effective for everyone. But it is worth looking at the ones that have been studied and seeing if any might be worth trying for you.

Full disclosure: I work for the Campbell Collaboration which is essentially the sister organization of Cochrane doing systematic reviews on subjects outside of health (education, crime prevention, business and management, international development and lots else) campbellcollaboration.org/

Is it a good idea to pivot into ML/AI?

clickbait headline, the real answer is in the article:

> For starters, families have access to housing and health care through the military, and at least one parent has a job.

>"Having as many of those basic needs met does help set the scene for learning to occur,” said Jessica Thorne, the principal at E.A. White Elementary, a school of about 350 students

Providing a stable home environment with access to at least one parent, proper nutrition, and safety - all commonly missing in the worst performing school districts.
I think one of the root causes for the problems in publishing is that "original" research has much higher status than the grunt work that contributes to the quality of research.

PhD students should probably spend much of their effort in trying to replicate published research papers, instead of publishing "original" research. This would teach them a lot about the typical quality issues in their research field, allowing them to produce quality "original" papers later.

This may sometimes even allow them to publish highly influencial papers that show the limitations of published papers, because quality issues seem so widely spread. This would also allow them to really contribute to the field.

I think we would see this if Universities and journals would take the research quality seriously.
What's unfortunate about the article is that it is so light on data, and heavy on assumptions. So whatever your agenda is, there is something to latch onto, but ultimately nothing to support it.

e.g. Prefer more rigour? "Defense officials attribute recent growth in test scores partly to the overhaul, which was meant to raise the level of rigor expected of students."

Prefer more money? "the Defense Department estimates that it spends about $25,000 per student, on par with the highest-spending states"

For all we can tell from the article, it is just self selection.
As an American, all I want to know how to do is to avoid it. Should I pre-emptively start running my own Matrix server? I'm genuinely curious.
The article suggests several causes:
1. Bias in population - these students all have families where at least one parent has a stable job, which isn't true elsewhere. There could also be other factors, for instance maybe people who enter the military are more motivated on average and that genetically or through parenting is passed on to their kids.
2. Better funding
3. Frequent feedback to teachers and more methodical planning
4. Excellent racial & socioeconomic integration

Is there a way to tease out the contribution in each area through controlling for variables. I suspect #1 is the largest by far, but I think this could be statistically controlled for partially by looking at children of parents who attend non-military schools. Curious for thoughts from HN.
I think this can be misleading in the same way some charter school results are. The easiest way to improve a school's results isn't to improve the education provided, it's to get rid of the worst performing kids.

Charter schools do this by various selection effects, and artificial barriers, like ending at noon on a Wednesday. So the only kids who go there have two parents, one who probably is stay at home and can pick the kid up.

The same type of thing is in play in military schools. There will be few-to-no kids of poor single moms. All the kids will be well fed and groomed and socialized. Is the education better, or have they just selected better performing kids? The article touches on this. But I don't think takes it nearly seriously enough.

> ZITADEL doesn't support anonymous clients. Honestly, it's not the best practice anyway.

How would you accomplish the same thing using best practices? The closest is dynamic client registration without requiring an initial access token, but that still requires clients to support the protocol, and I know at least the Jellyfin and Discourse OIDC plugins do not. And even if they did what do you gain over anonymous auth?
One could argue that you should never consider any input as “safe to consume”, and if you write defensive app code, would never consider the ENV to ever be secure or what you expect, and would therefor sanitize that input before consuming. If you’re blindly trusting any input just because you’re single tenant, you’re in for some hard to track down bugs and long nights when those circumstances one day change due to random business pivots.
Also note that anime is not even remotely a realistic portrayal of Japan and should not be used as such like the article is proposing.

If your kid is absent at a DoD school your CO will hound you. This makes a difference. There's also the slight difference that the military has socialized health care. When your kid is sick you take them to the doctor and that's that, while in civilian life small medical and especially dental issues go untreated and snowball into chronic absenteeism. Base life is really civilized in so many various ways. People violating the speed limit (20 MPH in housing areas) will be apprehended by armed MPs, so your kid can walk to school. Housing is often provided, even if it sucks, or subsidized, even if the allowance is below local market prices, so homelessness among active-duty families with children is practically nonexistent.

Why would that be the slightest bit surprising?

There's one President of the United States. His account is well known. Preventing it from posting things is a single, one-off action.

Hamas isn't going to post these under "the official Hamas Facebook Business Page and Twitter account". The problem is more akin to "how could a social media network stop other people from sharing a screenshot of a deleted Trump tweet".
Don't forget you can still get a DTV OTA antenna and watch live TV with a much much better image quality and without cable's delay. Admittedly, in can take a bit of effort finding a location to place the antenna for best reception for your location, but so worth not paying for cable any longer.

Sports is the primary reason for me messing with this, but it is definitely worth it.

NASA's Bennu Asteroid Sample
It's because the shape was due to licensing and contracts by content producers, not the technology of distribution.

Online distribution licenses were underpriced and differently packaged for a while because producers didn't know what revenue to anticipate or which horse would be the best to bet on. But as the industry matured, stuff evened out again and it's mostly back to normal.

Many conveniences of the new technology are nice, though.
I'd like to share a different approach, however limited it is I find it still surprisingly useful:

For an adult male the test is to:

- Bench press 80% of your weight

- Squat with 100% of your weight

- Dead lift 150% of your weight

Yes, this is muscle/power specific and not good at all for children and the elderly (and women...), but being a lower-bound and "auto-scaling" (because % of body mass) and not requiring any medical equipment...

Perhaps give it a try next time you're at the gym :-)
I looked more closely at the simpler ones, since simplicity was a baseline requirement for me when I went looking for a server to meet my needs. If the docs for something were too complicated to even determine if it supported the features I need then I tended not to spend much time digging through them.
Those 40% can only be substained with the additional budget and does not include the actual cost of construction.

So really that 40% even outside of development cost isnt substainable.

> Prior to SpaceX disrupting the market by surprisingly making what was widely regarded as a bad idea actually work, this was the way to go

Well the whole point of the Arine 6 was to compete with SpaceX. Ariane 6 would never have been approved if not for the pressure of SpaceX.

This target price the targed barly even competed with non reusable SpaceX. And SpaceX was already deep in development of reuse tech whem Ariane 6 was approved.

Instead they went with a very costly low return project.
It comes down to positioning and competition (profit margins). Apple notably sold upmarket consumer products; the segment best placed to pay for quality. If you are downmarket, or if you sell to businesses (where the buyer is not the user), you will find it harder to pull this off. It is the ideal, though!

I used to feel just like that. Then I learned that academic philosophy studies this phenomenon as "metaethics". There are arguments such as yours that would be considered "moral skepticism". Read up on those (or watch a course like https://youtu.be/g3f-Lfm8KNg); I think you'll find these arguments agreeable.
> Sorry, I meant inter-satellite. Iridium’s inter-satellite capability is highly limited and irrelevant for emergency comms.

It absolutely isn't, where are you getting this from? Both routine and emergency communications regularly traverse inter-satellite links. For a while, Iridium only had a very small number of operational ground terminals; nothing would work without inter-satellite links in that scenario.

> In ideal conditions. 5 watts vs something like 1.6 makes a huge practical difference.

Can you name a scenario where you'd get a signal through to a satellite with 5, but not 1.6 watts? This is absolutely negligible; even just rotating your transmitter ever so slightly will make a much, much bigger impact.

I have never not received an Iridium signal when there was line-of-sight to the satellite.

> There is a reason 406 MHz is the requirement for aviation.

Aviation and marine safety of life specifications care a lot about redundancy and availability. COSPAS-SARSAT is conceptually very simple and does not require ongoing subscriptions, so it makes for an excellent fallback option if other communication methods are unavailable.

For example, for passenger or cargo ships, you need at least two other bidirectional means of long-distance communication when crossing oceans. For polar routes outside of geostationary satellite coverage (i.e. Sea Area A4), the only real options (certifiable under SOLAS/GMDSS regulations) are HF radio and Iridium.

Coming from youtube premium where occasionally I have to skip through a preroll ad, I forget how much you are bombarded with ads while watching traditional TV.

> I figured out this is just some extension of extreme feminist politics that weirdos are trialing live on their unwitting pets.

Lots of people bond pairs of females rabbits without any involvement of extreme feminist politics. Rabbits are social creatures that normally live in groups. Many people who have rabbits for pets don't want to host an entire community of bunnies, but also know that a solo bunny is a sad one so owning pairs of rabbits is very common. People may end up with same sex pairs by circumstance or choice (it's one way to help avoid ending up with more than two bunnies).

If all you've got are two girl bunnies, and you can take the time to do it, getting them to be friends can make them both much happier. Especially if they're already kept in close proximity because rabbits (females especially) are territorial and can get stressed if they're always seeing/smelling an "outsider".
This reminds me of when I started learning spark (back in the dinosaur days). It was considered this cutting edge 'advanced' technology that only the top tier of 10x engineers knew how to implement. The documentation was crap and there were not many tutorials so it took forever to learn.

These days people can get an excellent introductory class to spark and be just as good as I've ever been at it. I wouldn't call them 'charlatans' like the poster above did. It's just that the libraries used to implement spark have been abstracted and people learn it faster.

That's just how it goes in tech. Anyone who wants to learn is a treated like a poser. We over-index on academic credentials which are really not indicative of actual hands-on engineering ability.

PS. There are no AI/ML experts. There are LLM experts, prediction model experts, regression experts, image recognition experts.... If you are hiring a 'AI/ML expert', you have no idea what you are hiring.

Then don't use Doom Emacs. As a more than twenty year emacs user, I've been using Doom Emacs the last two or three years. Since, I have better things to do than to update every Doom Emacs to the latest unstable version of a few hundred Emacs packages, I've two or three months between updates. This broke regularly the doom script and or straight.el builds. I've debugged it once and found out that that starting with the default Doom configuration works. And then you can add module by module. Whereas installing all modules I wanted, at once, failed.

Therefore, I dropped Doom Emacs and am very happy with my new clean Emacs config.

I don't agree with this as a statement of fact (except in the obvious case of two power-law distributions with extremely close parameters). Supposing it was true, that would mean that you would almost never have to actually worry about the parameter, because unless your dataset is that large one power law is about as good as any other for describing your data.
Just to be clear I was not the one to come up with anonymous client auth. This comes from the IndieAuth/IndieWeb community, and I link to Aaron Parecki's article[0] describing it in the repo.
