Another way to look at it is that during lockdown people realized that millions driving through rush hour every day to sit in a cubicle was a drain on the time of employees and a waste of company money in renting the building. I don't care if commercial real estate took a hit outside of impacts to pension/401k. We have the technology now and the pandemic proved it, so we can now evolve in that area. No need to be stuck in that hell loop forever.

And how many of those are paying for a commercial license instead of using it under SSPL license?

> words need interpretation and both SSPL and AGPL are written vaguely.

Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you should take the risk. They are both crap licenses imho and our lawyers are not allowing either of them inside anything. And I hear that from all big corp peeps I speak to; except the same software with a commercial license (which will happen to many in the Redis case and it happened in the Mongo case; it's a good bat to beat money out of companies).

The point is that 'vague' is a red flag and unless you have a bone to pick, your law dept is not going to allow it which is the intended reaction to sspl by people licensing that way. You offer dual sspl or commercial; sspl will put you in danger, so you just fork over $.

Maybe we have different ideas about what a "story" is, but stories are about defining a context and a progression from that context to a more advanced state. You can use technology in ways that the inventors never intended, but most of the time you want to know in which context the technology has been developed and which problems it can solve. That is why it makes sense to have stories in technical documentation.

Our kids were too young for school during the pandemic (thank god, it seems like it really messed up kids lives).

Now they're both in early-years of school. Attendance is kinda interesting!

We parents EXTREMELY want the kids to go to school as it's the much-needed break to get our own work done - both in basic upkeep of our lives/household, and in our careers. We need the school hours to be long. Longer than they are, in fact. (As a side note, my kindergartener only gets like 20 minutes of recess? wtf? Have you met children before?)

On the other hand, life is expensive. Being restricted to only travel during the most expensive times to travel (around school holidays) isn't ideal. We can work with our kids to make up lost school time.

I also just don't like this third party entity whose value seems to go down every year to control our lives!?

Teaching (from the teachers point of view) increasingly is geared towards meeting metrics that are divorced from the needs of the kids. The teachers incentives are being misaligned with ours.

Additionally, I think we've (royal we) grown distrustful of public school in general. Not in a "big government" sort of way, just that we need to acknowledge that US public schools are designed for conformity. Being different (e.g. having ADHD, or being "on the spectrum") is not tolerated well - you might find your kid in a special needs bucket that effectively segregates them into programs that might not fit their needs at all.

At the same time, private school costs are huge and often the ones closest to you come not only in an extreme monetary cost a culture cost - being overly religious, or not religious enough (YMMV).

So, yeah, it's hard to really want or care to "be a model citizen" to the public schools that are increasingly putting up the pressure on parents (that's a whole other topic, why aren't grandparents capable of being helpful any more? where did our support networks go?) while standards that might be outside of the school's control are lowering their ability to give quality education.

(Also, pay the f*&king teachers, maybe!?)

I personally also prefer postgres but I have used mysql in the past as well on and off over the last 20+ years or so. Managed postgres was at some point slightly more expensive in Amazon for some reason. So that's a good reason. If all you need is some simple database, either is fine.

> Some Linux patches can be of high value, say better TCP congestion control.

Every significant piece of code can be high value. But keeping it in the open brings more value to the world at large.

Open source projects do not force you to contribute. You can keep your improvements to yourself if you're so inclined, and patch your copy or products (if the license allows).

I believe the value lies in the developer itself. Not in the code. It's just an instance of development, and if the developer is that brilliant, they can always develop things of same high quality.

IOW. Keeping things to oneself is not meaningful.
Ask HN: No clue how AWS account was compromised – how to move forward?
I recently got an email from AWS about an account I created for consulting work nearly six months ago. Someone managed to get in and stand up a bunch of EBS clusters. Fortunately, this was caught by logs at the startup where I was consulting via their analytics. This was an account I'd only logged into a few times with it's own separate email.

I'm sort of afraid to keep doing anything important or sensitive on the macbook where I logged into this account. Fortunately amazon has been great with support and it looks like I'm off the hook for the fees. But I'm in desperate need of advice for how to prevent this (even with 2fa) in the future and how to safely move all of my bitwarden credentials to a new completely sterile machine?

I guess I'm just a bit flustered since I've never had this happen before and I consider myself a solid developer with good security practices.
Maybe, but accusing the author of malicious intent and that they "want to use free software without giving back" because they didn't recommend a specific copyleft license is ridiculous.

I think some parents and kids have realised that much of that slog is ever less about the education and more about using children as tools for buffing the school or district stats in the best case or it's just riot control in the worst case.

Miss a day or two of school and now you're "behind" because you don't know some trivia¹ that's on your next standardised test. Mostly irrelevant to the student, but highly worrying to the school. The real things you need to learn, things like curiosity, scientific thinking, critical thinking, practical intuition, complex problem solving, unstructured information retrieval, team work and so on aren't easy to measure, so they're not really measured and then they're not optimised for. Which, when everything is minmaxed to death, means they're optimised against. That's the charitable, non-paranoid interpretation, at least.

I did a homestay in Germany decades ago and the kids left school at about 1pm and spent the afternoon in woodland unsupervised, co-operatively building a sprawling multi-storey "treehouse" that was about 25 metres on a side. I wouldn't be surprised if the skills acquired in that part of their childhood mostly came from there rather than bullet points about carbon bonds in benzene or something.

1: Sure trivia provides "pixels" for a hoped-for complete picture eventually, but the broad substrate you place these pixels on seems de-emphasised compared to just hammering decontextalised details that are easy to test until everyone is heartily sick of the whole subject.

Back when I was in school about a decade ago, kids came to school sick as dogs as taking time off for being sick was seen as malingering. A friend at another school knew a guy who came to school with a stomach bug and puked several times throughout the day as they had a perfect attendance incentive worth grades, so to ensure he got his grades, he walked around puking for the day. I spent plenty of classes hacking and coughing.

So I don't think they are reasonable at all. If you are sick, you should stay home should still apply.
This and similar issues shouldn't be surprising at all after we effectively declared that in-person schooling isn't really necessary and that kids would be fine staying home learning on an iPad. What were people supposed to take away from our handling of schooling during the pandemic response?
I don’t know about that specifically, but I’ve seen that as a common occurrence as a cost cutting measure in low risk situations. In that case, the risk is low because 1) it’s not safety critical and 2) the switching moat is large enough to ensure they don’t lose customers
Yeah, the ones that are lagging need more personal attention and fine-tuned lessons; unfortunately part of the issue is the teacher shortage, so they can't really make smaller classes.

JEP Draft: Module Import Declarations (Preview)
Why is it brought up as a bad thing that the myths are much older than the compilation book the Bible? That makes the myths more interesting and impressive.
My mom's a teacher in a decent school district in California, and later school times didn't have a significant effect on post-pandemic absences in her experiences (for the students who did come in, it did have a positive effect on their performance though).

The brutal truth is a subset of parents just don't care too much about education. It doesn't matter if it's an affluent or a working class district - there will always be a subset of parents that are either unable to (fairly common among impoverished parents sadly) or uninterested to (fairly uncommon among more affluent parents sadly) become much more involved parents

Basically, teachers assume parents will intervene in their students lives to give structure. Parents in the other hand assume teachers will intervene to give their children structure in their lives. And neither side will budge.

Some autonomy for kids is critical, but there also needs to be some amount of structure as well. You can't be 100% disciplinarian nor 100% free roaming. A happy balance is needed, and sadly, a handful of bad apples among both teachers and parents have deteriorated that relationship among these critical caregivers.

I’m not angry about his sex life as such. Good grief. If it was exactly the same only with a bunch of people he didn’t employ and wasn’t committing fraud with I wouldn’t care at all.

Romantic relationships within a business, especially within the executive suite, cause conflicts of interest. Webs of romantic relationships create webs of conflicts of interest. If the executive suite commits a multi billion dollar fraud, not inquiring into what role the conflicts of interest played in that fraud ignores an important piece of the story.

The conflicts of interest almost certainly made the financial crimes much worse in the form of less oversight and less ability to look at what and was doing objectively.

Classifying written text using PyTorch
Machine learning with PyTorch is a great skill set to improve these days, and Python/PyTorch makes the work accessible to most software developers. Recently, I worked through a well known manuscript that classifies a standard data set of hand-written numbers. A bit of PyTorch later and it was correctly classifying over 98% of the handwriting. More amazingly, it took only an afternoon of hacking and was easily trained on my non-GPU toaster (a Steam Deck running Ubuntu Linux).

The manuscript followed is the well-known LenNet-5 and I used the MNIST data set. Links and more details in the write-up.

It was interesting to see what numbers the AI could and could not easily recognize. It matches what I'd personally find the same.
Can’t I just keep using the old version?
Oh for sure, but the challenge is that every student has different needs; some thrive in at-home self-directed study, others need one on one care, others need a classroom environment, etc.

Policy is set through statistics and cost / benefit though; the protestant classroom setting for a good while was the most cost-effective way to get many students up to a specific level. It wasn't perfect, but it worked at the time.

One afternoon, ca 440 BC, Leucippus and Democritus were sitting on their tripods doing bong rips (Leucippus had scored it from his Scythian dealer), when Democritus said:

Democritus: Dude, like sweet is just whatever people say is sweet, and the same goes for bitter, and we get taught which is hot and which is cold and which colours are which, but have you ever thought about ... like ... it could be that that's all in our heads, man ... y'know in reality, there's like nothing but atoms; atoms and void between them.

Leucippus: Woah
Less homework? My teenage children are in honors and AP classes and barely have any homework. I think they should have far more homework. When I was their age I spent a few hours a day on homework. Parents I talk to feel the same way. Give the kids more work to do at home to keep them off their phones and YouTube.
In my area, you get 10 days of unexcused absence per year before parents and kids start receiving fines and possibly a referral to CPS. That number is way too small IMO, and it forces folks to go to the doctor constantly for getting small illnesses excused (school policies are 24 hours without a fever, but they don't take temperatures, it's honor based...), since you want to keep those 10 days for an actual vacation.
Agreed, the plebs should have been infected ASAP. We would have leapfrogged the economical development of other countries.
> Let us ask the question: Is there anything inherently unsafe about multiple (even mutable) references to an object?

I think the problem with your example here is that it's a bit simplistic. In your example, if we drop the concept of ownership, sure it's not unsafe they can both point to the same allocation. But multiple mutable references can absolutely be a big issue. For example:

pub enum Thing {
AA(i32),
BB(String),
}

pub fn foo() {
let mut thing = Thing::BB(String::from("Hello"));
let Thing::BB(str_ref) = &mut thing else {unreachable!()};

bar(&mut thing);

println!("{str_ref}");
}

fn bar(_: &mut Thing) { ... };

Without knowing the body of `bar` it's not possible to determine whether `foo` is sound. `bar` could change the enum to the `AA` variant, at which point `str_ref` is now pointing at an integer and some padding bytes, not a String. We've violated type safety, and read uninitialized memory both in the enum itself and in the now-dropped heap allocation.
Clearly you were a highly performant pupil.
