Let me respond to a couple of your points, although overall I loved your comment.

1. This is absolutely true. But you can cultivate an environment where students feel safe enough to admit they don’t know. It takes time and effort. It requires you to be honest when you don’t know something. But it can be done. That said, I suspect that is going to be more difficult in a college environment just because you have class less often. I see my (high school) kids more often, so I can establish that safe environment in, say, a month or so. And then I have them for the rest of the year.

2. “Students will amaze you with all the ways there are to fail to solve a problem.” This is so true! And they will also amaze you with all the ways they misunderstand instructions or directions. You’ll receive back an answer that you just don’t even understand how they came to it and when you talk to them, you realize they read your instructions a certain way. Then you realize that you could write your instructions more clearly than you did. So I’d add to this: don’t assume that a bizarre answer that you receive is because the student is dumb or high or something. Ask how they came up with it. Listen to their thought process. And be open to the possibility that you could modify your instructions (or content teaching) to avoid a similar misunderstanding in the future.

3. Yes! Again, yes!!

6. I would only add this: enthusiasm is never a bad thing to express towards your material. (I mean, I’m a history teacher, so it’s going to look different when I’m teaching, like, the Industrial Revolution than when I’m on the Holocaust, but yeah.) Just realize that there will be plenty of students who do not share your enthusiasm and never will, and don’t be hurt or offended by it. But don’t be afraid to be enthusiastic!

7. This is one that I sort of just disagree with, but it could be because I teach high school, not college. Students always run up to me if they see me out and about. I’m not saying they all love me. But they do tend to take special pleasure in seeing you around. It’s almost like they’re surprised that you actually exist outside of the school building. (I’ll stop with that, although there’s a much larger discussion to be had around high school teachers being involved in community activities. If you want to maximize your impact, teaching in high school is so much more than just delivering content.)

Like I said though, great comment!
It's still fast for cycle paths where everyone is accustomed to people cycling manually, and it's definitely not just illegal vehicles. See: https://www.fietsersbond.nl/nieuws/voorlopige-cijfers-laten-...

> In 2022, at least 578 road accidents killed at least one, in 2019 there were 522. The number of accidents with at least one injured person has also increased considerably: in 2019 there were 18,298, in 2022 no less than 21,455. According to the police, the e-bike appears to play a greater role, especially with people over fifty. The figures do not necessarily mean that cyclists on an e-bike caused the accident, but it is important to see where the increase comes from.
"Sniper school is widely viewed as one of the toughest courses in the [US] Army" I don't think anybody is arguing she's the first woman every to graduate such a school. She's the first in the USA, in the US Army.
It may be an unpopular approach, but I'm a fan of Linus's "you must never break user-space/UX." Some changes might be trivial for you or even an "improvement" (which is mostly a personal opinion, especially regarding UX, unless you prove it with many research papers or have many complaints). Still, if I hit some key combos 100 times a day in the last 20 years, that became second nature for me. Adding Enter or any other key because "it makes things nicer" is clearly a bug.

I'm also not fond of Emacs's many subtle UX changes in the last couple of years. Enabling eldoc by default, changing "blink-matching-paren" default value... For each new Emacs release, I have to revisit my init.el and revert to the old behavior (thank you, elisp!), because suddenly things start to pop out or jump around. I get it; this is maybe to please the newer/younger crowd who are usually "in transit" - yesterday were on Vim, today, are on Emacs, and tomorrow, who knows, leaving us regular users with "a big bag of odor."

Thanks to elisp, you can bend Emacs any way you want, but don't change default behavior just because "it looks nice to me".
Would SecureBoot have prevented the rootkit parts of this?
You seem to have gotten it backwards. "Render unto Caesar" is a passage in Scripture (which the wikipedia article you've linked to mentions), and so it came before the Roman persecution of Christians occurred. From its founding, Christianity made the distinction between secular and religious authority/institution. (There is nothing that says a pope or a bishop cannot also be a king or a prince. They simply have authority in both, analogous perhaps to how one can be a king in one country, and a prince in another, or whatever. But they are two distinct forms of authority, and one is technically subject to the other.)

This separation of the institutions of Church and State is indeed only comprehensible in the prior distinction, but separation is, strictly speaking, a heretical notion. Liberalism (which is a Christian heresy) is merely tolerated by the Church, provided it does not encroach on the authority of the Church and the practice of the faith. If that ends, the modus vivendi is violated, and the truce is broken, and war has effectively been declared on the Church.

With respect to Islam, it isn't that Muhammad was both a political and a religious leader, but that there is simply no distinction between the two in Islam. That's why it makes no sense to speak of the separation of Mosque and State. The only reason you can distinguish between Church and State is because they're both institutions. A mosque is not an institution. It's just a building used for prayer and such. This distinction between Church and State is utterly foreign to Islam and the rest of the non-Christian world.
>I’ll miss it when it will finally dies on me.

It will never.

Most common faults have well documented repairs. Worst case scenario you can get a new PCB made.

You'd have to physically destroy the enclosure to really lose your hexbright. I don't think anyone makes replacement ones.

But as I understand it, even that is documented, and the source hexagonal prism is common, so at least it's not impossible.
I imagine it's that reading user input through something other than the minibuffer is annoying, because if you have customized your input/editing keys, read-key generally won't reflect that.
> If you don't think this is true, why do you think they released it under an OSS license?

I'm not familiar with Hashicorp's motivations for using a permissive license, and I believe this is tangential to the point being discussed (attributing Hashicorps' products success simply to being open source vs being useful software that solved problems in a novel way).

But I do know sometimes software is open-sourced (or at least made source-available) without accepting changes upstream at all, which clearly isn't done for reasons of wanting contributions. Or other times, authors will accept some outside contributions, but aren't outwardly seeking or encouraging them.

Nothing in any FOSS license requires the author to accept changes. Having the source be available is beneficial on its own for reasons of adoption and allowing users to trust the software.

> Reciprocating would mean allowing others to build businesses on software they have also contributed to.

Nothing prevents these companies from doing so via a fork of the last FOSS-licensed version, which is exactly what they've done, and is fine legally.

> It's not all their own work.

They own it. This is clear cut. It's copyrighted and has a CLA for third party contributions.

> it's about screwing over and denying that right to others

What "right" is that exactly, and what makes it a "right"? Legally you can't just make up "rights" based on feelings and assumptions.

Absolutely nothing in these permissive licenses requires future versions of the work to keep the same license.

> If it's useful high-quality software, history shows us that such projects continue to thrive regardless of the status of the 'creator' (e.g. Jenkins)

No, history shows it's quite a mixed bag, for example OpenSolaris/illumos has a minuscule amount of marketshare/mindshare compared to Solaris's heyday.

Also, Hashicorp very clearly created Vault, Terraform, etc and putting creator in quotes is a really gross way to minimize their clear achievement in designing useful and novel software that previously did not exist, and would not have existed if not for their efforts.
Some actions cannot be undone - hard to backstab and then say you sorry - Altman will never trust him again.

He might get a "sideways" promotion to do something that will frustrate him and make him leave on his own volition.
> A close friend told Hay she’d never make it in the Army or become a sniper.

Great example of the power of negative motivators, who trigger a response of "Oh yes I can, and I'll prove it"
Yeah, sure. People tried for years to extract the reasoning behind Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 changes and still no one has any idea.

Almost as it's just and only petty power trips.
What do you base this opinion on?

Northern European countries consistently rank at the top of the world in ease of doing business

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ease_of_doing_business_index

Some of them have more entrepreneurs per capita than USA.

What you don’t have is the ability to attract a crazy amount of international capital to mega corporations like in California/Texas or some places in China. So it’s hard to build the very largest tech corporations there.

I think European companies tend to be less consumer oriented, not as visible, and focusing on more “behind the scenes” technology. So you get the impression there’s fewer of them than there actually are.

Like, in my industry, there’s nothing like Nvidia or AMD. But there’s ASML and Zeiss for instance, without which Nvidia couldn’t make their chips. There’s nothing like the mega super high performance foundries like TSMC and Samsung but there’s a whole bunch of smaller specialised foundries focusing on very high power, very low power and optics and MEMS stuff.
not minor at all. you do something 100 times a day, adding multiple seconds to that time is not only wasting time, it is increasing the 'cognitive load' on the human brain.

this is why you find in a lot of Operations centers, people have a dozen different systems where time-wasting "improvements" like this have been made over 20+ years, so each little time-wasting "improvement" has added up over time so now it takes like 10 minutes to do something that should take 10 seconds. (in other words, "why does an Airline clerk have to spend 5 minutes typing in order to do something for my ticket/account", or "how did they mess up my request so badly", the answer is what im talking about)

what it all really boils down to is a fundamental lack of respect for other people. if you respected other people, you would not break their workflow like this and then dismiss their concerns as unimportant.
Given the perceived state of the economy and housing prices/interest- sure. As others pointed out... if you have ever lived any of these mid-market cities, this is a cycle that tracks to SV... I think we saw an increase during COVID thanks to remote... but just like everything during covid, castle made of sand.
> Semantic equivalence is IIRC undecidable in general.

They did mention code, and said "similarity" rather than equivalence.

But, as a trivial example, two different pieces of code can compile down to the same AST, or bytecode, or assembler.

TL;DR fault is not on HP side but on Windows side.

90% of commenters didn't read the article. (Yes I hate HP too. Use Brother.)

> It's likely that whatever bug is causing the problem made these PCs believe they had an HP printer connected, and then Windows worked the way it's designed to work and downloaded the HP printer app as a result. The questions are: What caused this bug? (..)
Yes, but afaik CAN is not usually done over Ethernet
Indeed, it's the business making the (IMHO poor) decision that the best way to address this issue is more manual oversight, and preventing release at certain times.

There are often other, better ways to address the underlying issue; "no releases on Friday" is a band-aid fix.
They have to have the experience of being successful on the other side of the struggle. And they have to have someone showing them the connection. Look at where you were before this. You struggled but persevered. Now look at where you are (in terms of either what you know or what you can do). That’s called growth, and it only happened because you stuck with it.

Also, frankly, positive reinforcement will get you a lot of mileage.
I spent a few months in Austin for the first time this year. I hadn't expected much from it, but by the time I had left it had grown on me. I loved that it still had 24-hr coffee shops, I couldn't even find those in Seattle this summer. I also met a bunch of really kind, fun, and ambitious people in my age group (30s) through board groups, including other people interested in founding startups. Overall, it's definitely way more exciting than Raleigh, and the music scene was great too. I think it will continue to attract talent, especially from tech/startup-oriented southerners who may not feel culturally at home on the West Coast. The only other southern city I've organically ran into founders was Nashville, which is nice, but also quite expensive and doesn't have the history of tech investment that Austin does.
> Since I have no control over iMessage, I would not consider it safe.

I would trust iMessage about 95% less if I had written, or even implemented, the protocols myself, and I consider myself a pretty good developer.

Once a new version of my favorite file manager came out with remapped key bindings. I can't even remember the name of it now. But my own anger was memorable as totally out of proportion even when I was feeling it. My investment in muscle memory had been trashed! I thought several evil thoughts before calming down. So while it sounds trivial I can understand why the reaction to the crime of Betrayal of Muscle Memory has escalated to "fork you".
Thank you for being a voice in the noble task of dispelling this myth. While it is true that water strongly absorbs microwave wavelength photons, other things do as well to more or less degree. It is all determined by the absorption cross section of the stuff you stick in the microwave.

The problem is that there are state level laws that apply even if you live in an enclave like Austin.
of course! The context of TFA was clear (congrats to Sgt Hay); I had just thought the curious might appreciate some wider context in which to place it.
Fortunately I use evil mode so my workflow is unaffected, for now.
Agreed. I've worked in a company that was AS9001 certified, and pretty much the first things a quality auditor would have wanted to look at would be non-conformances and concessions. With than number of missing signatures we'd have been skinned alive, and it would likely have prompted the auditor to then turn the place upside down looking for more problems.

That would then have produced major failings in the audit, if not the outright revocation of the quality accreditation, which I would then expect to be followed up on by an audit from the customer (which in the case of TFA would be Rolls Royce), asking some rather uncomfortable questions of the management, examining whether the inter-company concession process was being adhered to, and perhaps reflecting internally (i.e. within RR) - "Do we think these folks are the right people to be making these parts for us?"

From what I've read here it seems to me that Rolls Royce were astonishingly lax in not riding their subcontractors nearly hard enough, quality wise.
I wish they had a setting to go back to the Fischer-Yates shuffle.
From the blog post, I couldn't really tell what the author's long term intentions were for his fork.

True. The traditional binding was was just `C-x x`, but they've already done one round of making register features more inconvenient to get at.
Interesting. With Windows 10, I rarely use the start menu button. One of my boxes had the HP Print software. I did not see it add/remove programs, nor do I have any HP computer equipment. Looks like it wanted permissions when it started up for the first time and had what appears to be a working uninstall. If it shows up on another computer - will track down how they installed it. Not cool.
Maybe it was bad timing, but Houston has felt like a hot swamp every time I've visited, like an energy sapping heaviness. Austin hasn't felt that way, although it certainly gets hot of course.
I know airline regs and reality would never allow it, but I like to think the check pilot tore up the assessment form, and just walked into the CEO's office and plunked down the cockpit audio. "Yeah, he passed."

This is a serious allegation to make. Do you happen to have some supporting evidence?
Someone posted a photo of eight Italian soccer players all wearing the same uniform and said “there is no meaningful difference between northern and southern Italians, try to tell them apart.”

I think most "tech stack" knowledge is superficial. Knowing the tech stack is not the hard part of the job. The deep knowledge does not atrophy the same way.

I think its kind of like the difference between being up to date with latest slang vs knowing how to read well.

There are different types of universities. While R1 institutions are more focused on research than teaching, there are smaller liberal arts universities which revolve around the undergraduate student experience. These universities still have research expectations as part of tenure and promotion, but faculty aren’t required to crank out research publications. Teaching is hugely important at these schools, both during the hiring process and when evaluating candidates for tenure and promotion.

I have been fortunate enough to work at such a university for the past 20 years. We have a deep endowment, small class sizes, and extensive support for our faculty research projects. Undergraduates at our school are often engaged in research projects as well.

For me, this is like an academic utopia: a blend of teaching and research with a primary focus on teaching. There are many other universities like mine.

Keep it up, OP. This is a wonderful post!

> I've started to notice an increasing number of individuals at the top end of the talent spectrum

Ye well they have to always have been there? Like, the "top talent" of Silicon Valley and their wages feels more like a medieval kind of guild, rather than actual top talent. With different arbitrary opaque admission ceremonies.

I really don't understand why SWE wages are not flatter nationally in the US and also world wide.

Outside of hardware SWEs who need to be there, who ironically have lower wages, there is no way that it is cost effective to pay for "top talent".

I've always wondered if these WFH proponents (I am one ...) know what they are asking for. They are killing the magic.

Well, not here it isn't. These establishments have been fined several times. They still don't buckle.

As for the reason they do it - it's because it's more expensive handling cash than handling cards, and much more hassle (i.e. the opposite of what the comment I originally replied to was alluding to). So, by accepting cards only they cut costs, and by that they also gain an unfair advantage to competing establishments, which is why they want to continue despite being fined, though this is of course not liked much by said competitors.

This is straining away from the original thread, but the essence is that cards are considered a pretty efficient and safe payment method. Crypto I wouldn't touch. It's got everything wrong.
Ime, the Austin startup and tech scene is BizOps and SalesOps SaaS driven. This isn't too surprising as CS, Sales, and PS teams for most major companies have clustered in ATX. There is deep tech stuff but it ends up leaving for the bay in order to scale. That said, it's a strong regional hub and def 3rd best after the Bay and Seattle.

Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, IBM, and Oracle's investment in ATX will help it massively

Love the sharp focus on css, looks interesting. Thanks for the rec.
Engagement is also very environmental, I think, when you’re teaching in middle/high school. Like, is there a schoolwide culture of students engaging in work? Is there an expectation that when you walk into the building you are a student, or is it just a place that you have to be because everybody says so? (Note: kids pick up lightning-quickly on whether teachers themselves give a shit. If half your teachers don’t, you have a problem in your building.)

Kids that age are still trying to figure out how to be their own selves. It’s very new. I mean we all try to figure that out throughout our lives, but middle school and high school are when you first start to emerge as your own person. And a lot of figuring that out is done in response to your environment.
Imagine copying via Ctrl-C and having to hit enter to confirm a dialog "Did you want to copy this text". It's added, unavoidable friction for an action that some people use a lot.

Additionally, some actions on top of the original behavior (that depended on Ctrl-C completing automatically, to keep with the analogy), now are just broken.
We went to Pula on vacation years ago and it really is a fascinating mix of a bunch of different things. There's a large Roman arena, the city center looks like it could be anywhere in northern Italy that was under Venice, there are Hapsburg buildings and then construction from the communist part of their history... it's really an impressive mix.
