> "Stare at the book til something sinks in, do the problems, figure out if the answers in the answer key are right"

In Rafe Esquith's classroom, he talks about how they take that a step further. They knock the ball out of the park on standardized testing because they specifically try to come up with wrong answers for a math question. They learn the psychology of making test answers by doing - and don't fall into the traps.

Once my ISP (Cox Communication) injected a message into a web page I was reading to notify me of their planned service downtime. So I wonder the legality aspect of this type of injection. Is anyone who transmits data can modify pages?

> It's the same issue with the existing standard POSIX API

It's only an "issue" if you look at this as being an attempt to create a be-all end-all API, and it isn't. Things like std::filesystem (and POSIX file APIs) are made not to replace the native APIs but to complement them. They exist to fill the need for cheap, simple auxiliary tools, not the need for high-performance tools.

In other words, std::filesystem doesn't exist to facilitate writing a high-performance whole-filesystem search engine. It exists to facilitate writing high-performance audio analysis tools, image manipulation libraries, funky customizable desktop widgets, or really any conceivable program which uses the filesystem, but never in a hot loop. It exists for the same reason std::string exists in spite of the fact that it would a terrible core data structure for a text editor. It exists for the same reason std::iostream exists even though you would have to be insane to try to write an HTTP engine with it. It exists because when you need to load up three 200-megabyte files to grab the input for an hour-long simulation, you don't care about an extra five milliseconds at startup as much as you care about dead-simple, reliable code. Or maybe you do, in which case you can still happily use the native API.
Interesting! I've come across it in so few places in my life (and not recently) so I wasn't aware.

Edit:

It seems using it until the age of 12 is a convention in the US. Using it until 18 is the convention in the UK. Another argument for why software shouldn't make decisions using terms that can mean different things to different people :)
I would absolutely hope that it behaves like a dumb terminal but honestly you never know.
You coined the term "loins of great fortitude". You have nothing to apologize for.
Learn both of it. And C is something to know anyways.

Fun in programming is about doing different things, exploring technology and deliver a well-rounded project.

Also, you chose another field which is rather heavy on the GUI side - you will soon realize that ALL GUI done right isn't really something done effortless. It takes much work. Everybody wants to USE good user interface (be it GUI or command line or API-wise) - but few people really like to CREATE them...

And: Web GUI and developing for tablets/touch-based devices are really just two sides of the same medal - what if you need to make a tablet/touch-able Web GUI?

Accept that browsers are strange beasts and get it over with with good frameworks and you'll be fine.

Or choose the middleware or database-side of Web programming - also two good options.

And also learn that "6 months to learn X" literally means nothing in the programming world - there's ALWAYS a "6 months to learn X" ahead of you. Even if you already know a handful of languages very well, have 2 decades of well groomed experience - there's always a subject you know next to nothing about and 6 months isn't really a long period to learn something fundamentally new to you.

Those 6 month will never go away and there is no point you're working yourself up to and then just stop and "be a programmer" :)
If your aim is not to be identified, I can understand keeping your mouth shut about matters of opinion, especially if you hold distinctive opinions you have given out in public before. One of Ulbricht's reported failings [1] was talking about Mises and the Austrian School as both Ulbricht and DPR.

Keeping your anonymous persona's mouth shut about history, politics, economics, sociology, art theory and human nature is good 'opsec'.

Not sure what you mean, as the vast majority of Ruby developers I know use OS X. Ruby works out of the box on Snow Leopard. Or try Homebrew. Or RVM.
Hard problems don't become easier just because they find social justice applications. Math doesn't care what China does to its dissidents, as Wang Xiaoyun has made pretty clear to us.
How exactly does this apply to, say, the African American segment of the population, many of whom have been in the US for hundreds of years and most of whom know no other language than English?

"English" (at least as practiced in the USA) is not a singular thing. Go have a conversation with a "native" English speaker in inner city Baltimore or the backwoods of Georgia and I suspect that you'll spend a lot of time asking people to repeat themselves.

edit: well someone apparently thinks this comment doesn't add to the discussion, so let me try to clarify: most everyone speaks "English" in the USA, but not the same "English". There are accents of course, but there are also different terms to reference the same thing ("pop" vs "soda" vs "coke", "grinder" vs "sub" vs "hoagie"), different pronunciations ("ask" vs "aks", "nuclear" vs "nukuler") and then you have regions like New Orleans where foreign words are regularly mixed in with English.

"Right now in New York City every technology company is hiring engineers, programmers, Java developers or PHP/Perl developers,” Carvajal said. “I haven’t seen it this hot since 1997..."

Ummm, did they get the quote from 1997 too? I find these stacks to be in the minority these days for a startup anyways. Or is this a NYC trend?
Funny to see people defending the complexity of the language in these comments. So very HN.

My perspective of dev'ing in scala since 2009 (and I love scala):

"Scala isn't that complicated, just takes some time to learn."

Scala is complicated. Like really potentially super complicated, and the compiler error messages can be hyper-cryptic. It was written by academics (versus "developers") and it shows.

New developers will end up asking someone else a basic language question about every 10 minutes, mostly because they don't even know what to google for.

I've been using it for years and I still have to lookup prepending versus appending to lists because I can't remember if it's x :+= y or x +:= y, let alone ::: versus :: versus ++ or ++=. Really? Why not #!:@## while we're at it?

It's crazy that in these slides he says "I wanted a hipster language" -- most languages use [] for arrays so I used (). WHY!!!!? Just to be different? No actual real advantage? That's a terrible reason and a great way to make it hard for new people to adopt your language.

It doesn't help that there are 50 ways to do the same thing and the language is totally agnostic as to what you should do. It's almost like being an alien, coming to Earth, and trying to learn to have sex with humans from someone who is bi-sexual and into every fetish there is.

---

It would be really great if they could canonicalize the language in the way that python has, and once having done so further simplify their syntax so mere mortals can use it effectively. Programming is hard enough without the language being difficult, too.

We don't use AWS's storage — at least not EBS. We run on our own hardware and on the i2 instances on AWS that have high performance ephemeral SSD arrays. Our benchmarks of the i2s show their IO performance is quite good, as you'd expect of local SSDs.
You should also check your memory + cpu usage when browsing. My laptop was on fire. I think they tried to do too much, I simple selection + slide show would have sufficed.
I can't believe they weren't already reporting that. If I was an advertiser, I'd want to know how many people were skipping my ad and their demographics so I could stop targeting that segment -- or change my ads to reach that group better.
Fair enough. But even claiming that it's truly novel is not the point of the article. The point of the article is to research HTTP caching and to converse with the community about possibilities. It is not to present a new product.

In hindsight I see that the title may have been badly chosen. Before publication, none of the test readers have made any fuss about this.

> Please prove why that is impossible in VCL.

Where do you get impression that I claimed it's impossible in the VCL? It's pretty clear that the single page app approach can be replaced by edge side include, while the cookie parsing can be done with the cookie vmod.

The article claims that despite being the cache being able to do these things, application support is still required. The app has to be modified to output certain cookies in a certain format, e.g. the vary-on-user-permission-level thing. It's the combination that is important.

Have these things been done before? I'm sure they have. Most ideas in computer science are 30+ years old, and it's rare to truly find something new. But again, the point of the article is research. What we're after is not to present a new thing, but to present an idea, and if it's a new thing then we want people to help us to test; if it's not a new thing then we want to hear experiences.
for some sites I feel that you get more content using incognito. Like in YouTube, by searching logged into my account it returns videos more related to previously seen videos -- which hide more relevant videos.

You might as well have said

>Isn't this little more than a low level case of "dox"-ing someone that hurt your feelings

But I digress. Given that various socially unacceptable activity on the internet are frequently punished by doxxing (http://racistsgettingfired.tumblr.com/), I fail to see how this is any different.

The privacy of this "company" isn't violated the same way I publish your home address. People knowing them and refusing their business isn't censorship of their free speech or their rights or whatever they were up to before. However it may induce them to be more self conscious next time they commit perjury.
For that to work, you'll need the 'wait' versions of the remote flags. Those are still being worked on in a PR, but I'm hoping to finish them up by the next release: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17856

That said, this sort of remote opening has been possible in Neovim since the client-server stuff was added in the early days. This is only adding the remote editing flags and implementation to Neovim itself to make it easier.

Neovim-remote(https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote#typical-use-cases) is an outside-of-Neovim way to do it with the Python client. It has an $EDITOR setting listed there. Or if you don't want to use Python, you can use invim(https://github.com/groves/invim#to-use-as-your-git-commit-me...). It's just a shell script. Or you can wait for the next release!
Quotes from OP, in this thread:

> The one thing that defines fervent anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, the "let's open for business while people are still dying" crowd, and others with bizarre beliefs is that they make their statements with absolute certainty, and with no admission that they might ever be wrong.

> Meanwhile the deniers are still claiming the virus is "just a bad case of flu" and "masks don't do anything" and "lockdowns don't work"

> There is no "uncertain marginal effect." The science is in, and it's clear.

> The political point here is that masks - which have now been proven to be helpful - are only considered a 'politically fraught act' by people who want to politicise the Covid response.

> For people who are rational about this, there is no issue. For people who are hostile to public rationality, there is.

All of these are examples of black/white thinking, straw-man and red-herring logical fallacies.
Being from the Northeast of the country, there certainly were lots of people (men mostly) committing homicide in things like bar fights and other petty personal quarrels, and my impression is that this certainly has decreased over the past 15 years, and I think the severe gun limitations contributed to it (really, at least until very recently it was virtually impossible to legally own a gun - the abstract says "carry" but that really (again, legally) is beyond imagination - as permission can only be given by the Federal Police and they will say no). Outside of homicide, it's hard for me to imagine decrease in other violent crimes that are committed with guns.

Things like armed robbery and just plain mugging in the middle of the street in broad daylight is RAMPANT in every major city in the country except perhaps in some cases in the Midwest, Southeast and South (richer regions of the nation and often showing better local governments).
Honestly seeing the comments on here makes me feel a little better about life. Even if there are people out there who want to judge me literally by the color of my skin and not the content of my character, I’m happy there are still a lot of people here who don’t want to go back to the 1950s way of looking at race (or heaven forbid to the racially-focused social Darwinism that caused so much suffering in the early and mid-20th century in so many countries).
There might be some comparable points, but I believe that the overall social situation and the extensive activity of violent criminal organizations in the latter make those two countries hardly comparable in general.
I first heard this notion of trying to "be less white" in the context of Robin DiAngelo: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/anti-racist-education-is-anything.... I found it alarming, but people assured me she was just a crackpot. To see such rhetoric become normalized enough to be presented in training materials for a Fortune 500 company is truly disturbing.[1]

Rhetoric like this is deeply problematic, especially for mixed-race people: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/anti-racist-education-is-anything.... About 1 in 6 children today are mixed race, and most of them have some white ancestry. What does it mean to a mixed-race person to tell them to "be less white?" I don't want my half-white daughter being told "be less white." (More like me, less like my wife?)

The thing is--if some random guy on the street said it, like when someone yelled "go back home" to my wife and daughter, I could shrug that off. You can't eliminate bigotry from society completely. But educated people normalizing this sort of rhetoric in Fortune 500 companies is intolerable. That's bigotry backed by a theoretical and ideological framework. That's something I can't just shrug off. I have been reading Thomas Chatterton Williams (an American writer of mixed heritage who now lives in France) lately. In my view, he has the better take on this: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/part-of-a-larger-battle-....

We also can't overlook what this rhetoric does to ordinary white people. "Be less white" is easy to say for educated and privileged white people like Robin DiAngelo. They aren't bothered by the implications of this because of their own status and security. They see it as harmless "punching up." Let me tell you, that's not how my grandmother in-law perceives it. To her, "white privilege" is an academic abstraction. She grew up in real poverty and never went to college. By contrast, "be less white" is quite easy to understand as a statement of overt racism. And, perplexingly to her, its overt racism that's evidently being given sanction at the highest levels of our society.

I'm not in it for the money as long as I can keep my current quality of life. I enjoy traveling, eating at nice restaurants, buying gadgets, etc.

I remember back when I used to make $65,000 I was not able to do all of those things. I had a lower quality of life.

I'm to the point now where I feel like all my monetary problems are solved. I don't want to go backwards, but I also don't think any additional salary increase is going to increase my happiness.

The reason I was applying for jobs in Europe was because I thought the social benefits outweigh the lower salary. I want to live in a society where there is a good social safety net and where there is less income inequality than in the United States.
I was prepared for a lower salary but I was expecting about 20% lower, not 40%.

Christensen talks about this too, as "non-consumers" who have a job they need to get done, but can't because they lack skills, or money. Instead, they pay a professional to do it for them, or "cobble together a solution". There are also "non-consuming contexts" where you just can't use a product (e.g. a landline phone in a car).

What I found really interesting was that the reason successful disruptions are "more convenient, simpler and/or cheaper" is not because that's an improvement, but because it enables the disruption to be used by non-consumers... (who lack the skills for a complex product; or the money for an expensive one; or access to an inconvenient one.) They are delighted to have a solution better than what they have now, so it doesn't need to be as good as the incumbents'. Secondly, if it's not good enough to appeal to incumbents' customers, it won't provoke a competitive response.

No one has experience. iFart didn't seek it and found fame. Angry birds was accidental as in most trendy apps.

good luck.

No. Muslims believe only parts of the Christian bible are divine. Mormons believe all parts of both the old and the new testament are divine, and addition believe in a third book (that I've only read the intro to) which has additional tales of Jesus Christ and companions.

They are as Christian as catholics are, perhaps even more so as in my opinion they follow his ideology a whole lot better.
