The hacker example is the one I think of by default, since I think I've only seen it done ok in Mr. Robot. I'd love to see a hacker get a job at a software company, grind away for months only to leave a backdoor with a buffer overflow. Cinematically it would be hard to pull off, it would at least help if it could be a montage of the mundane and repetitive work needed.

And, yes, like in your example with the corrupt police officers, these analogies pollute the Overtone window, and when you actually want to bring in better ones you're stuck since the public has to first get unstuck and then convinced of your ones.

> Which of this is "oversimplified"?

A problem I have with the organ analogy for instance is that it fails to explain that there are plenty of reasons for data to be transferred to multiple providers if it's required for business operations. It's the selling and abusing part that's wrong. Is it really closer to prostitution here, where giving something away for free in a controlled setting is fine, it's just that selling it is a problem?

At the same time, sharing data with third parties should be done responsibly, and they should allow you to delete it once you bring it on their platform to run some analysis for instance.

Maybe holding onto data is like babysitting or schooling? You're entrusted with someone's child, have some autonomy on how to behave with them and can even take the kids to the park, but they're never yours.

Thanks as well, hopefully I managed to be a bit clearer.

We're using RabbitMQ for pub/sub between different components of our engine. The actual task queue is entirely backed by Postgres, but things like streaming events between different workers are done through RabbitMQ at the moment, as well as sending a message from one component to another when you distribute the engine components. I've written a little more about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643940.

We're eventually going to support a lightweight Postgres-backed messaging table, but the number of pub/sub messages sent through RabbitMQ is typically an order of magnitude higher than the number of tasks sent.
1) The local school board is not in charge. I've dealt with school finance. The amount of regulation from feds and state and county and city (non-school) can be huge.

This contrasts sharply with charter schools and even more sharply with private schools.

I've seen private schools were the "admin" is a math teacher doing work part time as principal and the teachers have a group that meet weekly to make admin decisions usually with a business manager. That's the admin structure.

Private schools often have much MORE art / music / etc etc. It's actually a complaint I have with the public school. They have one classroom teacher who is doing everything - and there is no real music program, no real art program, no nature program, no knitting, no woodworking, no metalworking.

When you have smaller class sizes, more kids (including kids with needs) can get help / attention / support right there in the class.

What is also wild is just how little budget / spending authority the site level school teachers / principles have. At a private school the authority / discretion is enormous. They may have a middle school / lower school director in a big private school (generally also a teacher) to help coordinate, but basically, if the lower school says hey, we need X, head of school says sounds good and literally 2 days later x is there / done.

I've worked in public schools were a work order for a facility repair is stuck for a year+, and when on-site folks fixed the issue they got in trouble for fixing it. And by in trouble I mean serious trouble. Only certain union members are allowed to fix things etc, so you literally have to walk by the broken thing every day for a year because you are prohibited from fixing it.

The other issue is that many state / county / school board actions make life harder for teachers. The state will have some educational programs analyst (supported by an assistant finance analyst, an HR person, a facilities person for the facilities etc) who will be busy making rules about posters that go in the classroom. That filters to the county who adds more rules (should show nutrious food, should show this type of activity or not this thing). Then the local district adds their stuff. By the time it gets to the teacher multiplied by 100 of these things it is burdensome.

Even the PTAs can get in trouble on this stuff. These are volunteers, and instead of thanks for helping its - hey, you used disposable cupcake liners for the cupcakes you baked for the beach trip you offered for the kids - you are going to be shamed and punished for violating district policy XXX. Trust me, those volunteers are not coming back.

Anyways, I could go on. It's just remarkable having seen both systems up so close, the public school teacher's life is hard.
Force does not mean "no choice."

A section 501(c)(3) organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, such as the creator or the creator's family, shareholders of the organization, other designated individuals, or persons controlled directly or indirectly by such private interests. No part of the net earnings of a section 501(c)(3) organization may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. A private shareholder or individual is a person having a personal and private interest in the activities of the organization.

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organiz...

None of that means that employees of 501(c)(3) organizations can't earn competitive compensation. But I think they'd be on pretty slippery ground if any part of compensation was tied directly to revenue increases.

The other way around. Alternating two executions on one CPU core is concurrency, but not parallelism.
No, there are not. There are people willing to spend money on this illusion, but the vast majority are not actually going to do it. Their best case scenario is that this never becomes attainable, and they can just remain with the image that they are supporting something like this.
There were generators? I googled for hours to get Korean wow beta accounts.
Well, they give some reasons:

"For example, they had a core data structure in Sheets which was blurring the lines between arrays and maps. This is efficient in JavaScript, which automatically models sparse arrays as maps, but slow on other platforms. ""

"Of the optimizations they found, a few categories emerged:

Replicating core optimizations that already existed in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and in V8.
Using highly optimized browser APIs.
Removing JavaScript-specific coding patterns"

Basically it seems, they tried to copy their js code. And this unsurprisingly did not work out well. They had to reimplement some critical parts.

Yep, same. Thoroughly enjoyed Arch, but slowly accruing implicit config state means you'll eventually have to re-install and configure everything again. You can mitigate some of that with dotfiles and some hand-rolled scripts, but NixOS is effectively that "done right".

If you rob a bank and can pay the bank off with interest from the money you stole, was justice served?

If you sell drugs and use the interest from your profits to pay a fine, it doesn’t sound like punishment.

Part of the problem with this is that much of an old money wealth is from less than reputable sources (slavery, piracy, war, crime, smuggling, opium and alcohol).

Your product to me seems to be just another freemium presentation product meant for sales pitches, a target market I'm not a part of. For that reason, your product doesn't really strike me as any more interesting than Figma's offering, even if it is technically superior. Figma's has a considerable edge too, as I already trust their web-based design products.

""The authors approach conflict via a medical analogy. They see destructive conflict as a pathological process (notice, however, that conflict itself is not pathological). The constructive confrontation approach seeks to "cure" the underlying causes of destructive conflict where possible. Constructive confrontation takes an incremental, rather than holistic, approach to destructive conflicts. It examines, diagnoses, and (it is hoped) treats each aspect of the conflict process separately.""

When my oldest entered elementary school, I was surprised that children were allowed to use their phones in classrooms. When I graduated in the early 2000s, we weren't allowed to have any devices that would be a distraction, and it's hard to imagine a device more distracting than a tiny pocket computer connected to the rest of the world. I hope this sort of ban becomes commonplace. I encourage all of the parents on HN to forward this news to their childrens' school districts.
I hope these alternatives catch on. But until they do, I paid $100 for my kindle. The cheapest one that isn’t sold out on the boox site is $170. Nearly everything is in the $200+ range.
IANAL but most contested Supreme Court decisions I've read (going all the way back to AP gov class) sounded like they could have reasonably been decided either way depending on who had control over the court. The law is ambiguous and complex enough that there's just so many logical ways to approach a decision and little in the way of prioritizing or disambiguating them. Whatever their bias, judges have lots of ways of reasoning themselves to their predetermined outcome. This is true up and down the courts but most judges are at least somewhat worried about their reputation and their record with appeals courts, which at least mitigates their biases but the SCOTUS is free to do whatever it wants.

As much as each side likes to bloviate about originalism and activist judges, SCOTUS often decides at the whims of ideology and personal bias because the law gives them lots of room.
Elon has publicly stated many things that were outright lies, and many more things that were extraordinarily optimistic timelines (FSD next year, hyperloop, starship earth to earth, extremely cheap tunnels, Covid respirators, etc). His public statements mean less than nothing overall.

Yeah std::io is what I ended up using, but it felt like I might be doing something wrong. Wasn't sure if using blocking IO would mess with tokio. Your answer seems to indicate that intuition was correct, and I should be wrapping it in spawn_blocking.

Again, you can explain those newer cities by either politics (meaning I question how long they will last - though short of a medical breakthrough we will all be dead before we can see their death), or there are geographical reasons for a city to exist there. New York city has to exist there as a city - you can change the name, but the harbor is to useful to ignore.
Which is still horrifically slow and unoptimized. I’m not sure why streaming tokens from an api into an electron app is difficult but OpenAI managed to bungle it somehow.

I installed `paccache` which can automate package cleanup. I configured it to retain only the latest version and only for about a week. Everytime I update I'm notified of how much space had been freed. I don't understand why the default is to retain everything. The likelihood that I need to perform rollbacks/reinstalls without internet access is very low.

Beyond that: `pacman -Rsnc` is my "yeet" command. Check the dependent packages carefully. Safer to run this regularly to avoid a build up.

I use `paru` for an AUR helper. Cache cleared manually but could probably be automated too.

I have been running the same install for a couple years and despite my early Linux ignorance and complete abuse of my desktop by experimenting with everything I've only ever had one failed Grub boot that wasn't my own fault.
Four decisions were released today.

We had a decision on the SEC vacating some of its enforcement powers, 6-3 with only the 3 liberal justices dissenting.

We had this decision, which was 5-4, although it wasn't a clear ideological split.

We had a 5-4 decision vacating an EPA regulation, with the 3 liberal justices and one of the more moderate conservative justices dissenting.

We had a 6-3 decision on the EMTALA-abortion decision, with the 3 most conservative justices dissenting. (Technically it's per curiam, and the "majority" opinion is unsigned. But every justice signed onto a concurrence or a dissent, so we know exactly how every justice voted in this case).

Yesterday, we had a decision on social media which was 6-3, with the 3 most conservative justices dissenting.

Yesterday, we also had a decision on bribery which was 6-3, with the 3 liberal justices dissenting.

Out of the most recent 6 decisions, we have 4 decisions that clearly evidence a 3-3-3 ideological split between 3 liberal justices, 3 more moderate conservative justices, and 3 very conservative justices that would be able to pretty fully predict how they would vote on the cases, and there's another case that it's partially predictive on (a 5-4 that peels off either Roberts, Kavanaugh, or Barrett doesn't contradict this lineup). Furthermore, the one case that the ideological breakdown doesn't work on is the case that is the least politically charged (it's literally resolving a circuit split, as opposed to please-intervene-in-this-politically-charged-case).

So yeah, this doesn't disprove the thesis that SCOTUS has become increasingly politicized over the past few years.

deaths of thousands is a massive understatement. Just overdose deaths is probably getting close to a million. But they are also responsible for:

The people who don't OD but have their lives destroyed by opiods.

The family and friends who suffer because someone they know is an addict.

The time, money and energy society has spent trying to help addicts.

All the crimes, victims of crime and criminal justice costs that are a result of addiction.

They didn't kill thousands of people, they killed millions, affected every single person in the country negatively and contributed to the destabilization of our society.

Mine is running just fine since 2022-03-10 (just checked with `btrfs subvol show /home`).

The only maintenance I do is for btrfs, which I learned the hard way one year after running the system without caring.

It's just a regular `btrfs balance` to ensure the system never run out of metadata space.

Other than that, just `pacman -Syu` and `flatpak update` whenever I feel like I want to.

I rarely clean Pacman's cache because I've been through some cases that I needed to downgrade some packages, and I always uninstall with `pacman -Rs`, so no leftover dependencies. And anything that `paru` installs as build dependencies, I uninstall right after.

> I disagree. There is no such thing as a societal oversupply of educated people.

I disagree with this assessment. You don’t need everyone to have a phd. There’s education and there’s Education. With respect to the article, sure it’s great if everyone is good at math, but not everyone needs a math PhD. Additionally there are diminishing returns on the time spent learning more and more math vs. other things.

In any case there have already been tons of math resources available for a while now.

A better example would be chemistry. Should everyone be spending time learning chemistry, why or why not?

Intellectual obesity is a thing - simply knowing more things isn’t inherently useful.
