I didnt hear people complaining when their wages went up and their stonks portfolio doubled.
Schooling is a tricky one for the free market, and it ultimately gets a bit morally dubious.

I guess you are trying to sell the benefit of a highly-educated country to those who choose private schooling, and getting them to pay for this.

It boils down to how much are you willing to pay for another child's education and what is the acceptable standard of that education.

But if we think about the supply of education, a lot of it is about good teachers, and ultimately someone has to be stuck with the worst teacher in the country. And also class sizes.

Reading it up, heated issue is putting it midly. That was a complete shitshow, with two gnome devs - and one from redhat specifically - not accepting the obviously awful font rendering as an issue and continuinously insulting the reporters. God I hate those type of Foss devs.

And then on the other hand you have finally a seemingly great solution, despite their sabotage. So, yeah gnome?
I’m sure it can fit basically any phenomenon, including an elephant wiggling its trunk. I too would like to see some actual predictions coming out of the model, but either way, I don’t begrudge him the effort. I’d like to believe what underlies our reality is more elegant than the high level mishmash we currently understand.
Probably generational, in my experience women have written control systems for the Concorde, full geophysical aquisition and control systems, developed robotic control libraries in the 1980s for bleeding edge technology, built systems for recognising sign language in real time, backends for medical imaging, abstract algebraic engines that have broken proposed quantuum computer proof encryption candidates, and more.

I guess our anecdata varies by the people we surround ourselves with.
Dutch ministers trying to stop firm ASML moving abroad over foreign labour fears
With news like these, I always take the lesson: Nothing free lasts forever. If you are not paying for the product, the product doesn't last for you. You will have to migrate or pay eventually. They don't owe you anything if you don't pay.
Prices are dictated by a global purchasing market. This means that salaries cannot grow because otherwise companies wouldn’t make profit, as they have to compete with products built by Chinese companies with much lower salaries.
Cool, I never found anything like this when I searched. I wonder how they get around the legal issues of it.

With the upgrade to "Registered Address" it costs a whopping 79.95€/month though, so it is not really a really an option for me. But good to know that it exists.
That's not the kind of model it is. The standard model is one example of a quantum field theory. You should think of Wolfram's idea as a different formalism (ie. not QFT), not a different example. It so happens that Wolfram's multiway model (allegedly, I can't evaluate it fairly for myself) also contains GR as a low-energy limit.

It's like inventing a new operating system (we currently have 3ish, Newtonian, Quantum, and GR) instead of writing a new program (baseball, orbital motion, chemistry, gravitational waves, etc.) Perhaps new programs can be written on this new OS that couldn't be written before. If known programs cannot run on this new OS then it is defective.

Seems like you missed the point of the article.

Yes, most of the article is dedicated to describe the “leak”, but there was no call to abolish abstractions. Just the insight that one needs to understand implementation of those.
I recently went through two instances of three-full-day versions of the author’s Monday meeting, in the context of academic “research leadership”, organized by a team of people who never wrote a single research article in their lives (let alone an actual thesis) and headed by an actual “leadership coach”. My conclusion after this nightmarish experience is that “leadership” has become a meaningless buzzword, like “freedom”: it means something at its core, and used to mean something (I guess), but its potential to be misused is so great that anyone who actually mean it should avoid using it (as for ex. I avoid using the “freedom” even if I think it’s one of the most important things in life).

I also concluded that doing meaningless administrative/management work is addictive and those who engage in it will actively and constantly try not only to overemphasise their importance but also force themselves on top of those who they know are doing actual important work. This is in my opinion a form of understated and poorly understood violence, but also a natural survival instinct for those who feel themselves useless (maybe correctly) and must then fight to remain relevant at all costs.

Sorry for those 1% of you out there who are actually useful and efficient leaders/managers; you know who you are and this is not for you.

Downpour is the game creation tool I have been working on for the past few years
I've been using GNOME under Wayland on my laptop and I noticed a few things. GNOME still won't support server side decorations on Wayland. Qt apps look like crap, with thin titlebars which are non-interactive, even though they looked just fine under X11. It just makes them look broken on a GNOME desktop and benefits no one. The fractional scaling is also still broken because they can't be bothered to combine Wayland and X11 scaling and not blur Xwayland apps. Hyprland (a tiling wm / compositor) works properly here and allows not blurring X11 apps as well as letting them scale by themselves. Electron apps also scale properly, unlike on GNOME.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that! To add a dependency, simply drag the blue ball that appears when you hover your mouse over a bar, and drop it onto the bar you wish to connect. If you encounter any issues, please let me know!

It’s like when Gnome 3 came out, and everyone who was just getting a taste of Linux through the more accessible Ubuntu was forced to use a (IMHO) crap UI. It was polished, but it basically copied the much loathet full screen ‘menu’ from Windows 8.
> better when everybody finds jobs locally where they live

This is a valid position. But naturally, those jobs won’t be of the high-value globally-connected variety. Plenty of agricultural communities do okay; they just aren’t going to be a good place for an ASML to be based.
If this is true, it will be quite sad, since that implies that treating it (and even more importantly curing it) will be extremely difficult.

I'd love to see more research in this area.

I'll be that guy to say that if you don't have a diabete problem, you don't need a CGM: here in Italy there is this crazy fashion of wearing one if you are into sports or alike. It's much better to eat clean, check your weight, and don't care about your physiological parameters all the times.

It seems interesting but I think I prefer to keep another tab with https://www.db-fiddle.com/ to experiment with the syntax.
It's a major societal failure that education has been reduced to turning in coherent enough strings of characters, that's what I've learned in the past year.
> I'd personally love a unified syntax for tone that doesn't involve drawing squiggly lines over the word, or a number next to it, but that's a pretty specialized need, I think.)

That would be lovely and possibly and attainable goal for a minimally tonal language like Japanese, but the challenge is generalizing any such system to heavily tonal languages like Hokkien, with six or seven tonal markings and additional layers of complexity like tonality rules that depend on different word boundaries and positions.

It's a shame that different shades of ink weren't invented and/or normalized sooner, because a lot of this state space could be captured using a simple convention of two stroke weights (light/heavy) by two shades of color (red black) for every glyph.

"Rubric" was an early gesture in this direction but unfortunately never escaped its original application.

I wonder does making a minor mistake in attribution really count as "wilful infringement"? As a layman, I would expect that any reasonable attempts to comply with license requirements should indicate that infringement was accidental. Sure, if it's a large company whose legal advisor instructs do x to avoid maximum penalty, with intention to infringe the copyright, that should probably still count as wilful infringement.

I would say my cousin, who is a Major in the army would disagree with you. If you're not a good leader when trying to lead several hundred soldiers in a situation where they might be maimed or killed, you're not going to last very long in that job.

Being a leader is absolutely a huge part or the main part of many professions, and the truth is that the more people you are responsible for, the greater the importance of your leadership skills. That is, to be the CEO of a company requires you to be an exceptional leader as that is one of your primary responsibilities.

Pretty interesting. If you look on netflix approved camera list[0] there are none from Nikon. Personally I think RED cameras are overhyped and are a major reason most netflix shows all look and feel the same. I don't think its the colour grading or lenses - its something about the camera itself that just feels shit and doesn't give me the same access to a scene the same way something like sony's HDVS from 30 years ago does.[1]

Hijacking the topic: I don't use Wayland. But I have a lot of Mac hardware running Fedora with GNOME X11. What's the status of Wayland to configure input hardware, namely keyboards (ie xmodmap, xkbd)?

Duh!
That for the first and second floppy drive...
my only gripe going to wayland 100% is screensharing easily like i can in x11 is still hit and miss. has anyone solved this where I can screenshare in teams, meet, slack, etc?
Most companies suck, but I started a small one with some friends and my blog has introduced me to the small circle of competent people in my city - fret not for me! And I spend a lot of time getting engineers out of toxic organizations. I'm currently building a small application for my readers to network with each other, because I can no longer afford to spend so much time personally deciding which people to connect with each other.

So that is not my conclusion at all. However, I looked around for quite a while and failed to find placement at a good company (in fact, I suspect the best companies almost never go to market, they just hire friends and former colleagues). "Start a popular blog and escape" is not a viable strategy for most people, and I'm trying to do something about it.

You are right though, relentless negativity is pointless. I can only afford it in these concentrated bursts because... well, my situation is actually quite good.

(But I think you've said something very valuable nonetheless for many people, including anyone that reads me regularly. Complaining is cathartic but you've gotta chart a way out, and there IS a way out in basically every case.)
AI has been a 'moving aim' as opposed to moving target. It's a label slapped on whatever slice of software engineering seeming most magic-like at any given decade.

Maybe I’m not the audience for this but how is this a “product”. Coercing LLM outputs into a function call is built into OpenAI itself.

Spot on. “Computers are for boys” is exactly the socialization I’m talking about.

“So when Ordóñez got to Johns Hopkins University in the '80s, she figured she would study computer science or electrical engineering. Then she took her first intro class — and found that most of her male classmates were way ahead of her because they'd grown up playing with computers.”

A programmer is not so different to a tennis player: training begins before age 10. Anyone entering a compsci university course at age 18 without substantial experience of computing has a mountain to climb.
Perhaps it is sexist attitudes like yours that discourage women from staying in tech. Being targeted by misogyny day in day out isn't exactly a positive work environment.
While I agree that Oliver did a pretty good job skewering Boeing in the ~33 minutes allotted I'd argue that Peter Robinson does a better and more complete job in his 2021 book Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing.[0]

What I find most sad about what Boeing has become is that it was so predictable. I worked as an outside contractor at various Boeing locations in Washington and Oregon installing, maintaining, and training on the operation of CNC milling machines in the mid '90s and early 2000s. I was there before and and in the early days of the merger with McDonnell Douglas. In those days the pervasive sentiment among the machinists, engineers, and managers, many of whom had spent two and three decades working for the company was that the merger was going to get people killed. Sadly, those predictions came true even if it took longer than some may have expected.

> Essentially that implies Israel will get shot at and not be allowed to shoot back. I suspect most Israelis would find that unreasonable. Israeli civilians don't like being killed anymore than Palestinian civilians do.

We are talking about Gaza. The only Israelis being shot there are Israeli militari attacking the Gaza strip.

If you are talking missiles, well Israel should abandon the colonies and create a no man's land where no civilian, be it Israeli or Palestinian, can go, and only shoot those that trespass.

If you are talking missiles, Israel has air defense systems.
And how would that work in a society that is heavily leaning to monogami? Or repsecting the womens voice in that? Or squaring that with the manoshperes whining about declining male fertility?

And no, a man cannot realostically have hundreds of babies. Unless, of course, you don't give women a voice in the process. And even then, only a small minority of men would actually be up to follow through with something that amounts to rape.
Pretty sure he would appreciate it for the guarantees those come with, but criticize them for being dead programs, that are not alive like for example the internet, one of his examples for systems, that started and from that moment on have not been taken offline to be changed.

Hah, I've done this with people before! Drop me an email. I can tell from your name that we'd vibe.
it should not be the flatpack who decides its own appropriate permissions, but the owner of the OS where the flatpack runs. Even when--especially when--, the permissions profile disagrees with that requested by the developers. Whatever permissions the flatpack "requires" should be irrelevant. Only those granted by the user will be given.

Flatpack and snap and other systems that conflate packaging and permission management get it totally wrong. Permission management is an OS-issue, not a packaging issue. Thus, distributing a plain static executable or a python script should be just as safe as a "safely packaged" app.
Northern Ireland/UK was not similar to Gaza/Israel at all. The UK was always Northern Ireland's government and controlled all state functions. A better comparison is Mainland China/Taiwan: according to various outsiders, the two are the same country supposedly, but in reality they function as two different states, with entirely separate governments. The main difference between these situations (aside from Taiwan being an island) is that China actually wants Taiwan, whereas Israel really doesn't want Gaza.
Among other things, there seems to be progress in fixing attention to scale better.

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Apps like Slack don't want to invest time in supporting Wayland: just ask the user to switch to an X11 session! But Gnome shouldn't drop X11 support until all apps work on Wayland. In other words, we're stuck with X11 apps forever.

Someone eventually has to break the stalemate, and Fedora is usually the distro making the switch first. Its users are used to stuff like this, and it serves as a nice heads-up for app developers to get to work because it'll land in RHEL within a year or two and you can't really claim Linux support if your app doesn't work on RHEL.
The reason the world largely went away from high tariffs are many. In the first place they're redistribution scheme from consumers to industries that have the political influence to lobby for tariffs. Secondly they make the domestic industry lazy and increasingly noncompetitive (not just in pricing, also in R&D and market fit). After some years of this, the foreign competition will be so far ahead that they're able to out-compete the domestic industry while producing in-country (see Japanese/German car makers in the US).

Regarding cars specifically, which group do you think is bigger: car buyers that would get a $20,000 gift from the Chinese taxpayer (and likely spend those savings in the domestic economy) or people employed in car manufacturing?
I've not looked at Linear - but when I was freelancing I used Pivotal (free account) to just put all my clients' requests into one long queue (I had about 8 clients at any one time).

I put in a very random guess as to the points value of each request - nothing more than "trivial, easy, difficult, bastard-bloody-hell-shit-buckets-difficult".

I had Tracker set to work in "weekly sprints" - but they're not really sprints at all - it's just a unit of measure. Internally it averages the number of points completed over the last three weeks, uses that for an average velocity, then moves the date markers on the "backlog" list to match.

Then, when a client asked when something will be done, I could pretty accurately say "unless something urgent crops up, it will be '18th-24th March'" (where "something urgent crops up" means I insert a story at the top of the queue instead of at the end).
True, I am not that well versed in American history without reading it up. In a sense the US got lucky, that events elsewhere opened them the door to take over North America: the Napoleonic Wars and the sale of the French territories, the Spanish decline as a major power...
