The biggest US public school horror story is how we have taken a great instrument of social progress and decimated it.

Public schools in countries where schools are treated well have phenomenal success.

US schooling has been taken over (at the level of the state legislatures; blame goes to state Congress not to the schools) by companies selling "achievement" test. And also by charter schools whose success is based on only selecting high-achieving problem-free children?

Why do teachers say they are nothing but babysitters? Maybe because they aren't allowed to teach, to inspire love of learning in the children? And their classroom budgets are so tight they buy school supplies out of their own pockets, while living on an income that is close to poverty level? While facing felony charges for having the wrong book in the shelf behind their desk???

When things like "Creme de la Creme Early Learning Center of Excellence" are real institutions instead of something from a comic dystopia, you know you have a problem.

America needs tuition-free state universities and trade schools. Full-stop. We're encountering endless problems, sending our entire economy (and living standards) out of whack, because we don't.
The Raptor Blackbird and Talos systems might qualify: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html

Not sure if the Broadcom GbE NICs they use require firmware. It would seem odd to me that they'd go so far as to include an open FPGA[0] for board management and system bringup to avoid closed firmware blobs, only to then rely on a network interface with firmware requirement.

You seem like you're trying really hard to be the kind of developer he's criticizing. If you want oversight, if I don't have the privilege of doing what I want and screwing around, I'm just gonna leave.

It kinda reminds me of the "passport bros". You want to MAKE me do housekeeping, and there's NO way to get someone else to do it? I'm just gonna leave, and have fun suckers.

You're really smug about "certified™ big boys", but you're just the counterpoint to them. The "certified™ real deal developers", chime in to talk about how they'd never accept oversight, but yet there's very little substance here.

I hope you have some reason. You feel that this is a waste of time and too much effort gets spent on CYA and BS, that the "real process", and things that really keep the system safe and secure get ignored (like having super smart certified™ real deal developers), and the checks and balances (like in the process) do nothing to help... maybe this isn't your pitch, but I imagine there's something; yet you haven't shared these ideas.

In any case, I think you're wrong. We don't have enough regulations, especially in safety and security critical applications. We need discipline and standardized methods in software, as well as regulations in important areas.

Even if you were making real points, we'd have to doubt your motives, but at least you're not sneaky enough to hide them.
Oh yes, I didn’t mean that there would be nothing parents take issue with at all. Rather, if a parent is upset enough at the idea of their child learning about evolution rather than creationism, I believe it’s within that parent’s rights to put their child in a school that more closely aligns with their beliefs.

No school curriculum will ever be 100% satisfactory to 100% of people, but I believe that the state has no obligation to enforce a certain educational model simply because it is “correct”. That probably sounds a bit silly, but I just believe that people have the right to believe and teach ideas that run counter to the state-approved message, even if the state is empirically correct.
> As a person, a journalist brings a lifetime of bias, experiences and yes even prejudices into their work, they can't not.

The point is they're not trying to not.

> This is not simply "someone's child" this is what will eventually become a person

No; they're already a person. They're also someone's child.

> and NONE of them, not a single, sodding, fucking, solitary one of those things, is going to be helped by Jesus.

This hyper-emotional take seems unrelated to the discussion. I hope things get better, though.
Agreed. My local one is run by a member of the local community. Biscuits, wi-fi, good coffee, and a short walk from my home rather than a commute anywhere.

This is the way!
> But no one at the FBI or the CIA came in and told Twitter, "Hey, this is misinformation."

The Twitter Files are full of emails and meetings with the FBI where they do exactly that, along with many references to meetings with the CIA (which they called "OGA" for "other government agency").

https://www.racket.news/p/twitter-files-thread-the-spies-who

Especially as the election approached in 2020, the FITF/FBI overwhelmed Twitter with requests, sending spreadsheets with hundreds of accounts

One of the most common forums was a regular meeting of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), attended by spates of executives, FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked “OGA.”

Despite its official remit being “Foreign Influence,” the FITF and the SF FBI office became conduit for mountains of domestic moderation requests, from state governments, even local police.

Example email:

"Hi Stacia, Our FBI Baltimore office identified these Twitter handles and tweets which appear to provide misleading information"

> The Twitter files prove that the government did not ask Twitter to take down anything

It's baffling to me that anyone could read about the Files and conclude this given the entire spreadsheets of users being sent directly from US Government police and intelligence agencies to Twitter, requesting takedowns of that content. They literally prove the exact opposite of this.
> Episcopalians support gender and racial equality, as do the Anglicans they're an offshoot of. Presbyterians are similarly accepting

If my memory is still ok, I remember those sects splitting due to differences in those beliefs among their members
I think I have about 95% of Python in my head. I occasionally see a new edge case I hadn’t considered, but it’s been a while. The language itself is rather compact. There aren’t so very many keywords or builtin functions. Even the stdlib is manageable, although I'm always pleasantly surprised when a module has added some new functionality or convenience that will save me time. It’s knowable.
I think you're already receiving the general opinion in the form of downvotes, but for the sake of constructive debate I'll try to respond.

> homeschooling has horrific and hidden outcomes

Please tell me more, as a homeschooled and successful software engineer and family guy I'm interested. Several people in my family are or have been homeschooled. I could tell you where they're at right now but I've bragged enough with myself already.

Yes, there can be horrific and hidden outcomes with homeschooling. Also with public education. Also with woodworking. Or having kids. Or cooking.

It's about how you do something, and why you do it.

Sorry for being so condescending, but your statements are offensive in their absurdity.
The biggest improvement for me by far was a CPAP.
The US has fewer residency seats per capita than almost anyone else in the civilized world. Are American students less capable than everywhere else? Are Europeans dying in droves because getting into med school is marginally easier?

Looking at health outcomes in other countries, your argument just doesn't hold

The Flatpak supposedly works fine, but I'm guessing if you had a Snap installed to begin with, you were probably on Ubuntu or one of its derivatives and getting both Snap and Flatpaks to coexist may have been untenable.

I've been meaning to switch, but I'm on a certain RPM-based distro where the Firefox package in particular goes through its own set of QA testing, so I'm happy to stay on that.
100%. Obs tools are still needed for debugging, incident recovery and just being able to make better products, but there is a lot of optimization going on.

The market still does seem big. Datadog is needlessly very expensive and the experience is just ok.
Giving a bad teacher more money won't make them a better teacher. Maybe you can argue that offering more money to teachers will draw in qualified people from other professions, but this kind of solution can't be implemented in a vacuum. The bad teachers are already in the schools and cannot easily be fired because they're protected by politically powerful unions and furthermore, protected by a substantial portion of the public who hold school teachers on a pedestal and will resist any political move to make it easier to fire bad teachers.
If behaving ethically didn't cost anything, everyone would do it.
One of the worst requirements is mandating that medical students spend four years getting their bachelor's degree before entering med school. Realistically, the essential prerequisites for med school could be covered in two years. This would allow graduates to start their careers younger and with less debt.
By comparison it is easier. The alternative is that you need to read even an order of magnitude more lines of GPL source code in the Linux kernel to write your OS, which may not be an option.
Another way of putting it: an option for a 100$ itunes gift card no strings attached, probably wouldn't hit 95%

Often no, for multiple reasons.

Separate compilation means that even if you write an interprocedural static analysis system (quite a bit more complex than what most people would call a linter), you still run into oodles of hard boundaries where you can't look into other functions. Fixing this requires explicit annotations all over the place to even have a chance.

C++ is also a remarkably complex language in terms of aliasing relationships. There are a bazillion ways you can make two names alias each other. This gives you a few options when writing an analysis. You can be sound and do weak updates everywhere, which means your alarms will basically never be confident. You can be unsound and assume no aliasing, which means that you've got a lot of false alarms. You also can't really make a rule "don't ever create aliasing relationships" because they are often idiomatic C++.

And finally, the key properties that people really deeply care about like heap lifetimes fundamentally involve complex reasoning about both temporal properties, dataflow, and heap shape. All of these are hairy static analysis problems. In combination, a nightmare.
Especially because half of the visualizations had a large portion of the middle blocked off by the text with the white background. I could scroll it to be at the top and block less but it's still just an annoyingly flawed way to relay information.
What is the hardware decoding/acceleration scene with Linux on modern laptops such as this?

1. Can you expect to watch Netflix, fandom video services like F1tv without tinkering with some tunables in the OS?

2. What is the sleep/wakeup situation like?
Can it do MacBook style - shut your lid when you go away from desk for a coffee and come back and open the lid for instant ON(back to work)? Reliably?

3. Also, does x86 laptops have the sane sleep state back? Or does it still keep sipping power and heat up while stashed in the backpack?
That's precisely all that OP is storing in the original article.

They're just getting a list of hashes per day, and associated client info. They have no idea if the same user visit them on multiple days, because the hashes will be different.
The above poster is talking about "school choice" which is making its rounds through legislatures in red states. The legislation effectively defunds public schools if people decide to homeschool or can afford to send their children to private school.
because it is not institutional or full time.

it is like the difference between a commercial child care service, and having your friend's kids or you kid's friends over for the day.

I think it depends largely on who controls the process - the parents of a paid professional.

That said, it is not a typical approach either, nor is schooling by a parent. I have used (and this is typical in the UK, although i do not know about the US) paid face to face tutors, taught my self, provided the kids with textbooks etc. to teach themselves, paid for online courses, helped them find other resources and so on.

The paid tutors are qualified (both of them are qualified in the subjects they teach, one is a former school teacher).
If you wan't volume manager features, you can put btrfs/bcachefs on top of LVM
Excuse prior rant. New rant beginning here:

The real public school horror story is that today, in America, a "good school" is defined as one where your child won't get shot.

I leave the rest of the rant as an exercise to the reader.
Indeed, we automatically build language (JS, Go, Ruby, Python soon) and OS (debian) packages that you can use in your application or base image. Those packages bundle the set of root CA certs so that your clients trust the certificates presented by servers. Soon we'll have automatic package publishing, so that rotating cert material is just another dependabot PR.

edit: for the laptop problem, we have a CLI toolchain that gets your development environment setup by adding all the necessary CA certs to your local trust store. More about that here: https://blog.anchor.dev/getting-started-with-anchor-for-loca...
This is anecdotal, but my last “corporate job” was the closest to thing to shrink-wrapped software, even though it was a SaaS. Every release was meticulously documented. Any public facing UI or API change was approved the appropriate teams.

This is similar to macOS, Windows, or even FreeBSD releases. I haven’t seen any Linux distribution that has such comprehensively coordinated releases. Between systemd and the Linux kernel, I’m not sure it would be possible.

Many distros have good documentation, but, in my experience, far too often the bulk of it is in out of date wikis or forums. Perhaps this is out of date thinking and I’ve missed the train in the past 10 years.

As a counterpoint, OpenWRT has been good, but their main “product”, imho, is LuCI. Lower level issues often require vendor specific forums.
It was everywhere in the 90s that I remember when I was a game dev. I don't know if you would call it a game engine? We just called it a 3D engine back then. Back then at least I only remember it doing the graphics, no physics, animation, sound, etc?

It must have started off as a purely software renderer as I can remember trying to compete with their published stats on tris/sec.
The only thing I hate about powertop is seeing how much power my wireless interface draws even when it is mostly idle. I’m not downloading a website, wlo1, so why are you on?

Maybe I need to map a new key in my window manager: rfkill unblock wlan on keydown, rfkill block wlan on keyup, hahaha.
"Too much anime" was not a phrase I expected to see in a compiler bug report.

Internal compiler errors do happen from time to time. They're annoying but usually easy to work around. I've had projects where I just cannot use rust-analyze because it just never finishes. It just eats RAM without accomplishing anything.
I love home schoolers, but there are options.

4th through 7th: seek out a FIRST Lego League program for your kids. FLL teaches then to think and solve problems.

High School: Dual credit does exist. Look for a high school in your area that offers a college degree through dual credit.
I think the big problem with C++ was the “C” in it, that is maintaining compatibility with C (or sort of compatibility). Rust didn’t make this choice and it’s a completely new and different language.

Bad choices in C++ will ever change since you will break compatibility with a ton of stuff. Rust has the concept of “edition” that allows to migrate to new language versions gradually.
The obvious question I have then is why you think the current system is selecting exactly the right number of surgeons? How do you know the next 10% of potential surgeons who don't make it under the current system wouldn't have the IQ/drive/etc to be high quality, effective surgeons?

Right. But Black 3.0 claims 99.6% light absorption.

So if Black 3.0 next to black velvet looks like this? What must be the light absorption value of black velvet?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/824109424255434803/88...

Black 4.0 now apparently claims 99.95?

So yeah, I wonder how it now compares.
We use Lambda (via Laravel Vapor; https://vapor.laravel.com/) for a big analytics batch processing job every night; it spawns hundreds of thousands of individual jobs that make various API calls, but only for a few minutes. For the rest of the day it's doing very little.

I'd imagine a bank has quite a few of these sorts of bursty bash processing needs; ACHes, end-of-day reconciliation, etc.
16:10 is tall enough it doesn't feel like you're viewing your screen through some kind of short fortified viewport-slit.

5 year EV owner, would never buy ICE again, but things in theory & in practice do not always match.

Road trip can have a broad definition. My parents live 75 miles away.
When you do visit your parents? Holidays.. aka winter.
So the nominal 310mi Tesla should make a 150mi round trip no problem right? Well.. ermm.

I've had trips where my battery was at 80%, cold soaked, snowing, a bit of wind.. but highway flow of traffic was 75mph. What should have been a routine half-battery using trip required me to top off on the way home as not to land too close to zero in freezing weather.
I agree that the pricing is too high, although I think the base model ends up only being ~$1000 higher than the base model 3 with a $7500 tax credit. Dealer markups are a huge problem but mostly stem from Toyota not producing enough to meet demand.

I think there are a lot of people for whom the math works out on Toyota PHEVs at MSRP, they might be worried about range anxiety, they might travel a lot (56mpg at US prices generally costs less than super charging), they might not need a home charger because they can charge up at work, they want a super-reliable car they can drive into the ground, etc.

but a lot of that is thrown out the window if you have to get on 10 waitlists, wait 6+ months, and pay $10k over sticker.

Almost 24 hours later so likely you won’t see this, but I’m interested what your setup is hardware (monitors) wise and workflow wise that works best on Windows?

I’m pretty platform agnostic. I own and relatively regularly use Windows, Linux, and MacOS machines and have spent time using each as my main work system in the last five years.

I currently use a single 49” monitor and I’ve found MacOS with Amethyst for tiling and window management plays the nicest on it but your comment about hand mangling (and never completely remembered) meta key combos definitely rings true.

I haven’t found anything on Windows or Linux that doesn’t have the same issues though. It’s possible I’m irrationally afraid of mistypes and overly avoid single meta key combos on any system.
This is a difficult issue - if we accept the statements on their face (and I don't have enough information to accept or reject the statements), it seems that there was waste by hospitals that were doing just what I mentioned, soliciting residents that were not needed.

From the article: "But why should hospitals be interested in this when, under current law, they automatically get sizable government subsidies for training residents who as part of their education take care of many of the hospitals' patients, work long hours and collect meager salaries?"

If this issue were to arise again in today's political climate, I imagine there would be a redistribution of seats away from in-demand specialties to primary care.
For those curious, this kinda stuff is explicitly taught in Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book, which is precisely about how to extract the maximum value from a book rather than speed reading.
Sorry but what I think you've done is just emulating a shell, not an actual Linux system. For that, you need to emulate some architecture that Linux supports, like x86/RISC-V/ARM. With that you should be able to boot a real Linux kernel.

One guy even made a RISC-V emulator inside VRChat using a shader[1]. Doing it in JavaScript will probably be easier, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone has done that already.

Until you emulate a CPU architecture and boot an actual Linux kernel, it isn't quite fair IMO to call it "Linux".

Reality Check [FAIL] - Both from many things I've heard & read over the years, and some quick web searches just now - it sure looks like "American doctor" earnings vary vastly depending on the doctor's specialty. With the GP's and similar "keep 'em healthy" specialties often paid ~3X less than the MD's who get to bill lots of cool, expensive "procedures".

(The frequent blindness of The Economist to such critical basic facts was ~80% of why I cancelled my print subscription.)
Well, take a look here at Black 3.0 paint next to simple black velvet.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/824109424255434803/88...

Seems there is a lot to go beyond 99.6%

I don't know what the absorption value of the black velvet is though. I am curious how Black 4.0 would compare to black velvet.
We need more doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners. Most are burning out and overworked. I have overheard a business conversation in which one person said, "the only way to solve this is to make doctors work more hours" ... I do not think that is the solution either.
I don't. I buy Apple products for the hardware. They last and they work when it comes to iOS. When it comes to Macs, the software usability is shite. I've had to resort to 3rd party apps (Amethyst, AltTab) to be able to effectively organise and switch windows.
I don't know which surprises me more: that they continued to use PHP in their move to serverless/microservices or that nobody else on HN has questioned this point yet. I totally get why they would keep PHP: they have the language/platform experience already and AWS supports it (which is really more than enough to silence the "You should have switched to {other_language}!" partisans). Plus, I imaging non-trivial amounts of copy & paste of proven functions was key to moving from monolith to Lambdas... why change the code if it works?
