The pedagogy of Learn Python th Hard Way is called 'Direct Instruction'. It has been successful for teaching the very rudiments of diverse subjects. It falls flat once applied to teaching creative intuition or abstract conceptual reasoning. That's why Learn Python the Hard Way is targeted at beginners.

Page 4 of the Shaw-Hanselman interview transcript discusses direct instruction.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/hanselminutes/hanselminutes_0407.pdf

Out of curiosity did your SO learn Python and if so what resources worked particularly well?
Hello there!

I'm using it today for a sales document, it's sweet.

Well, there are some more complex yUML diagrams on the yUML samples page that don't work. It's probably yUML's fault because the syntax isn't quite "proper". But it would be nice if fiddle.md had a way of embedding yUML DSL. E.g.

==== yUML Class Diagram ====
[Company]<>->[User]
[Company]<>->[Record]
[User]-.-[note: A regular user]
==== end ====
Excellent news, though I wonder if the hydroelectric/wind/solar replacements they mentioned will be sufficient to meet the demand.
It simply means that it has been built for the ARM processor (as opposed to intel, which all previous Mac apps were built for) and therefore does not need to run in the Rosetta emulation layer.

Practically speaking most users probably won’t notice a difference. Apple silicon native apps might be a bit faster and use less battery than their intel counterparts.
Two points.

I think the environmental argument against blockchain (or proof of work for that matter) is a very strong one. I'm not sure though if it is actually the best argument (I think blockchains are inherently useless for almost anything, regardless of reward function).

But the bigger point here.

What is exactly paying for in an NFT? If I "own" an NFT to a JPG do I have the legal power to enforce copy right infringements to this piece of art? Or is it just like baseball cards where I can proof that I own Jack Dorsey's first tweet? But someone else starts another NFT chain, my friend could own the same tweet?
My employer has been adding so many customer support positions and basing those in the office that we cannot bring the developer teams back into the office. That, combined with an INCREASE in productivity since working from home the plan for now is for all of the software dev teams to continue to work from home while the customer support team swells to occupy the whole space of the office.
I wonder about the advantages for folks who have room at home to work from home efficiently.

I have a big house, a space just for work.

I worked with folks who didn't work from home because they simply didn't have the space to do so. I wonder how they're doing.
Things I miss:

- interacting with my colleagues, going out to lunch

- the very high-speed and reliability of being on the network wire

- dedicated work-space outside of my home where home-chores don't press on my mind while I'm trying to work

- my commute: I cycled into work, and the daily exercise was great

- a clearer separation of work and home life

Things I don't miss:

- interacting with my colleagues, when i don't want to (group office, oy)

- having my boss pop in over my shoulder (my bosses are great though)

- my commute: I cycled into work, and the daily ride was sometimes a grind, in cold or wet weather. And it takes a lot of time

- not having my work at home when I need to work late (I have a work laptop, but still)

- having the campus police officer give me the eye when they see me working at 2am

I'm considering coming in Thursday/Fridays.
Nice, can't bypass the cookie prompt when using Google Translate..

Software was often much more expensive than hardware in the early days of computing - it was much later that the $100 or so “max limit” became relatively common.
Thank you for the reply. Ya I'm relating to performance. When setting goals to designers, I find it difficult to measure their performance. I am interested in measuring, for example, design consistency, iteration throughput, collaboration efficiency with engineer, adoption, amongst others. Basically I want the process be more objective and rely less on intuition. Would love to learn how others do it

> but this narrative that success -- in any field -- isn't dependent on your ability to sell yourself is problematic.

Some people make fantastic researchers and are terrible at selling themselves and their work. It seems like a bad deal for everyone if these people are blocked from making contributions to science.
I said "people" are making accusations, didn't mean to say you were.
Thank you for not linking directly to this shameful piece and given them the satisfaction of the hits.

I know his name is out in public now, but this still comes off as a pathetic attempt to dox him. It's like the NYT feels it spent too much money investigating his identity not to dox him.
That makes me disproportionately happy.
You point stands but most Satanism actually doesn't actually believe in a literal Satan, they identify with him as an allegory.

The largest sects, The Church of Satan (athiest) and the Satanic Temple (non-theist) don't have a belief in Satan as a deity.

There is a subset that actually does though but they are a minority of a minority.

Isn't that analogy backwards? It'd be Noam Chomsky citing Bin Laden in his writing. SSC linked to Nick Land, not the other way around.
The research part is often funded by public grant money.

> They aren't paid to get the PhD.

PhD students are often paid salaries/stipends derived from (often public) grant money.
I don't disagree, but I think those IPs are a massive asset now and in the future.

Netflix seems like it has to keep treading water (Producing more original shows) to keep up.
Mere linkage is the flimsiest of possible arguments. We can link TV to violence, and then ban all video content based on that.

A better argument would be quantifying the negative impact, weighting it compared to positive impact, and then using that weight to judge the merit, both in absolute and relative to other thing we decided to ban or not ban.
> The offensive part is the people who say that open offices are MORE EFFICIENT than a traditional office.

To be fair, I don't think everyone that uses the term "open office" is thinking "auditorium with 1000+ people." Attempting to extrapolate anything conclusions taken from open office environments of 4-10 people out to 1000+ people seems insane.
Sometimes I wonder if maybe Facebook’s algorithm is amazing and these people could become best friends. But I tried this a few times and they all sucked.

I suspect it’s as stupid as ranking all members based on some dumb algorithm like “25 year olds like females, this is a female” and just shoveling garbage.

Years ago Facebook just kept recommending people I hated over and over. I wish they would have a mode of “you’re good, we can’t think of anyone else you like.”

It’s like going into a store and the salesperson says “this is perfect for you” and they are just showing you every item in their store.
let's hope they dont screw anything up. we just started solidifying the Abraham accords, to the detriment of Iran and China especially.
The author probably meant fusion.

70% of France's electricity comes from fission, but that's only electric power.
You're right but I prefer it over WhatsApp/Facebook and I started using it when about 3/4 of my network moved to Telegram (to support their move away from WhatsApp/Facebook).
It surely does.

Social Media did not create division.
Internet did not create division.
TV did not create division.

They only amplify it. US was divided long before the creation of Internet. That baseline were far higher than other countries. Compared to other countries Internet definitely has its impact, but the baseline was small it isn't as obvious.

Let's put some number into it.

Division Score of US is 100, Internet Usage as a Multiplier, US also has one of the highest Internet usage ( especially with Social Media ) around the world. if you put that as 10. You get a total of 1000.

Division in Country A is 50, Internet usage as 4 ( If you take social media ads revenue split per capita between US and other countries as an indicator ), you have 200.

That is 5x difference.
"Perhaps the author just can’t see the value of it. "

Maybe so. But maybe he sees more the work of it.

If the project is activly developed, means it is probably not stable.

Documentation is only of value, if it is updated with the code.

Worse than no documentation is only wrong documentation.

So your explenation of the acronyms should remain true, but everything else maybe not. And it is work to figure out which is which and to verify, if a beginner comes and help with that.

So now while it would be nice, if they would have written better documentation in the first place, or merged your PR, they probably think just too high of the cost.
What is the real reason?
“ The real question here is: where was the national guard or the various other law enforcement and military personnel that seemed so available during other disturbances?”

Trump didn’t want them there. Apparently it was Pence who pushed to have them go there.
They could have done it in early 2016. Then they'd be in the pocket of the establishment republicans and not the left
So every election since the founding of our country is invalid? Nice try but you’re a bad actor and you know it. Actual instances of fraud that have been found have been dealt with and surprise, they didn’t change the outcome of this election. If you truly believe that there is massive voter fraud on an unprecedented scale you are quite literally refusing to live in reality and nobody can help you now.

My point is quite clearly that not only are the allegations being made about the election results being invalid are absurd but that even if you accept parts of it unless you accept all of it it doesn’t even have an impact on the outcome.
It reminded me of this Dinosaur Comic http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1490

Some compiles take a few hours so I have no choice but to jot down whatever state the current project is in and switch context to some other project...
The problem is that it is easier to jump to a conclusion
than it is to stop and think.

Which is, in some ways, a theme in Brave New World.
Kinda makes you wonder why all your development can't be 100% web-based. No messy installs, version control built in (autosave like gmail?)...if your deployed app is web-based, why not your entire development environment?
Everyone assumes that this is just a "oh they should add an s to http:// issue.

If your iPhone application uses SSL, it becomes subject to US export restrictions on encryption.

Apple is the vendor of the apps, and is based in the US, so every app is subject to these regulations. Apple specifically asks if your application uses encryption when you submit it, and if so, some apps end up having to get U.S. government review and approval for sale outside the US before they can be added to the market.

Virtually everything flying around the network is unencrypted. Even if Facebook turned on SSL for the whole site, if I see you sitting next to me and can find your e-mail address, I just have to request a password reset and wait for your mail client to pick up the plain text email with the reset link. Either encrypt your whole connection or accept that you're secure enough because nobody is really listening.

Kinda like all the TSA articles floating around, you're not safe because someone's groping everyone before they get on the plane, you're safe because nobody was trying to get something onto the plane in the first place.
The tingling you may feel is absolutely normal. Most devices (Mac minis and MacBooks while connected to the charger) don‘t even connect to PE (only 2 connectors on the plug).

The tingling comes from some leakage across the transformer isolated primary/secondary but is so small that it’s not dangerous.

That’s also completely unrelated to static discharges that zap you once you touch something that can equalize the potential
The center of the democratic party has been pro-business for decades now (see neo-liberal), albeit with republicans using stronger rhetoric. Another way of looking at it, the center of both parties have been extremelly pro-business, with both the far-left and far-right having some anti-corporate tendencies. Due to recent trends the centers of both parties have lost influence, even more so on the republican side due to a recent far-right presidency. It seems logical that there would be a shift in perception but I think it's really more of a shift in the Overton window.

I'm personally very pro free speech but the wrong way to go about it is to give the government more power to compel speech from third parties. Use the tools available to prevent mega corporations from sucking up all the air in the room, then create your own platforms to spread the speech you want to enable.

The easy approach of just trying to use government to compel these companies to carry your speech has too many dangerous second and third order effects to seriously consider, especially if your goal is free-speech.
Kinda yeah, but just to set expectations -- if you want to do an external hard drive as your main drive, just get a thunderbolt drive. You might be able to massage a usable experience out of USB, but thunderbolt is more or less equivalent to an internal drive.
> how fast and loose people on the left treat language in arguments.

Not even one sentence in and we already in a "left vs right" argument... Newspeak isn't a leftist thing, it's a "people who know the power of words" thing

> Remember when ICE was running "concentration camps"?

It's just as despicable when it's coming from one or the other, and that why you shouldn't side with either

> But on every form I have ever filled out race was a choice from "African, Asian, Caucasian, etc."

And this is exactly why we should reappropriate words and their meaning, and not fall into the trap of complete deconstruction of language(s)
It seems to me a lot of companies are violating that policy, notably in tech in CA. How hasn't there been a major lawsuit? This has been going on for years and is getting progressively worse.
I used to work somewhere that had a bunch of "women in STEM" hiring pipelines associated with local colleges that were used to hire for entry level roles.

It didn't really affect engineering quality because like most workplaces pretty much everyone was nice enough and qualified enough.

The interesting effect the hiring pipeline did have was that it acted like a dragnet catching a broader cross section of the population. The end result that the group of women working there was much more diverse in background the group of men working there and I think there is a lot of merit in that.

I am very much in favor of giving the job to the candidate who has less going for them, all else being equal and creating hiring pipelines to increase the ratio of their resumes that cross hiring managers' desks. But having race, gender or other things people don't get to choose as part of your first pass filter on applicants seems like it's likely to further the problem it's attempting to solve if applied widely enough and on a long enough timeline.
Theoretically yes, in practice, small states bordering major powers have trouble keeping their sovereignty. At the very least they need to enter some mutual defence alliances.
I just completed the ruby koans (as dougireton has suggested) and it was a great introductory course. I highly recommend that as a start. It's quite basic but you get a good grasp of key topics.
yeah. to give an example:

if I want to store persist objects using localStorage, I'd convert them to JSON and store key-value. However I cannot store whole object hierarchy as it'll soon become an overkill.

so I store separate objects, and recreate relations upon retrieval manually. But I also need to maintain my own index - to know which objects I have stored under what keys.
I hope the last two clothing items were jokes. Though what you wear is somewhat a matter of taste, suits far outpace sweats and t-shirts in portraying a man's body. A nipped waist, slightly padded shoulders, and straight legs will always make a better impression.
Android is a Linux. There are more than 300,000 Linux phones being sold every single day. I think it's fair to say that 2010 was indeed the Year of Linux on Your Pocket Computer / Your Phone.
I think this is could be a rather complicated feature. It's easy if your second phone is just a linked device like iPad or desktop client, but I imagine this might be very confusing for users. Now you have two phones with signal installed, but one has fewer features and if you lose the main device, you're screwed. This is unexpected for most users.

On the other hand, if the second phone should have the same capabilities as the first one, key management suddenly gets extremely complicated. For instance, each device has to be able to revoke others; what happens if the revoked device had granted access to three other phones, are they revoked as well? Can a device revoke it's "parent" device? And so on. I imagine they avoid this while they can.
> "The cost of training is the actual bottleneck in AI,"

This really isn't true in general. Maybe in select subfields of AI like language model pertaining this is true.
> Else we should abolish the patent office.

Where do I sign?
I long ago rid myself of any conceit in originality in going to market. There is much more security in aiming at large and compounding markets with such a wedge as this company. The difficult part is in convincing investors who are looking to party. Quite simply: you can't.

While the title presented here ("RadioShack puts customer's personal data up for sale in bankruptcy auction") is the title at the source, it has an error in it compared to the actual content of the source. It should be "RadioShack puts customers' personal data up for sale in bankruptcy auction" (note the difference in the apostrophe). They aren't just selling one customer's personal data.
