I've started working with my third child who is 10 years old. The older two weren't interested, but my youngest is really interested. We first tried to use Scratch and some of the online learning sites, but they all drove me crazy because things would break or wouldn't work like the videos. We switched to Python using Pygame Zero which is going MUCH better. Definitely recommend Python: using whitespace for blocks is very understandable and easier than balancing {}.
At 10 my child is able to exclusively drive the keyboard and make many of the changes he wants. We've been doing this for about 6 weeks spending 1-2 hours on Sat and Sun.

My older son is much more interested in mechanical engineering so I'm mentoring his robotics team for programming.
One of my all time favorite authors in literature. The secret to enjoying Gene Wolfe is being ok with fuzziness - he’s notorious for using unreliable narrators. And don’t try too hard to figure it all out at first, just keep going. Eventually the most mysterious, awe inducing visions will enter your mind and often they’ll occur a day or two after you even read it. It’s like your mind needs a bit extra time to compile the sublime code he’s given you. He’s a straight up magician.

300 million dollars is all that needs to be said.
But is what you observed an actual ... chemical process, or is it the placebo effect? Can we even tell?

The placebo effect is just as real as any other medical phenomenon. It's just very hard to measure.
I wish there was a language that was actually multiple levels of compatible languages.

At one end would be dynamic and scripted and would progress to the other side of compiled and static. You would start out at one end for speed of development and progressively optimize and compile.

I suppose python and cython are that language. But it's not as popular as it should be.
It seems countries in Northern Europe have some of the most liberal laws on RE - I wonder if the fact that the demoscene (which originated from software cracking culture) being quite established in that area is related in any way, or the fact that a lot of security researchers, who by necessity have to RE, are also from around that area.
It wouldn't matter, the certificate is signed by Gogo so isn't valid by default on anyone's devices.
Why not still do this to save costs? Also, the aforementioned environmental effect.
I can look at artwork on my computer for free, or print out a high resolution image that's indistinguishable for a few dollars. Yet people pay a fortune for the "real thing", even though their eye doesn't know the difference.

Tell me again how this is in any way rational or logical? It's not, you've just bought into the narrative that artwork has legitimate value but haven't bought into the narrative that BTC has legitimate value.

You are trying to push your subjective opinion of value as an assertion. Just because you derive utility from original art but not bitcoin doesn't mean there's value in the former and not the latter. Value is assigned by supply and demand, not by an authoritative top-down council composed of u/nexthash.

It may well be the case that the market's opinion of BTC's value changes and the price drops to near nothing. But then again maybe people will wake up to the fact that an original artwork is indistinguishable from a photo, and the art market collapses too :-)
If you think you are too small to make difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.
I read this book during my systems and advanced networking courses at ETH Zurich years ago. As a hard copy, it is an impressively heavy compendium of knowledge but very relevant to everyone that even remotely touches networking on a daily basis.
I remember it to be quite a pleasant read, despite being very technical and crazy long (could also be that I just like the topic).
Well, honest question... what's the alternative? because all the other options have proven to be worse by magnitudes of order.

Calls that it's not sustainable are like cries of impending starvation and privation... yet "famines" haven't happened because advances created by... capitalism. Better crop yields, better farm results, etc. Driven by "greedy capitalists".

can we do better? Sure... fight crony capitalism? coporatism? absolutely...

But end of day... the alternatives? have proven worse - unless you have proof otherwise and history isn't with you on that...
I was getting RSI constantly no matter what ergonomic keyboard I had (MS sculp or whatsitsname was the only one bearable), eventually I got a programmable split keyboard, ZSA Moonlander - RSI immediately gone.
But apparently that was even an overkill, I loved the programmable part so much that I decided to buy Planck for my gaming pc because it's tiny and can fit on my couch-mouse-pad setup... No RSI either! I use it for programming too now. I have a theory that what was hurting me was the need to move fingers to backspace, ctrl, etc. And maybe the staggering as you need to twist your wrists a little all the time. Ortholinear feels just... more sensible, for muscle memory...
From now on I buy only ortholinear programmable keyboards, they are fun, make more sense, and don't get me RSI!
Interesting - the ‘d’ is for non-binary, or other gender? It seems an easy fix for the headline of a job post.

More of an issue is the language itself. The French language is slowly opening itself up to having a male and female word for different professions that used to be gendered one way or the other. We have ‘professeure’ for a female teacher along with the traditional ‘professeur’ for a male teacher. But we don’t have a job title for a non-gendered teacher. An advertisement for a 'professeur.e’ would still be exclusionary by the judgement of the article, wouldn’t it?
They must've seen this post.
You are completely right: finding "THE RIGHT" level of abstraction is extremely important. Without abstractions we would be writing code in Assembly.

This is the reason I used the term "overly complex abstractions", not just "abstractions" in general, of course. Overly complex meaning it's a failure to use "the right abstraction" where you instead go for something much more complex than the proble called for... this is what I understand most people in this thread are referring to when they refer to previous Scala projects they've worked on.
Streamlit is used by data science/ML people to turn models into (usually internal) MVPs.

Let's say you implemented your model in python, and want to show it off:

With streamlit, you can simply take your python script, turn the variables you want to change and the plot/dataframes you want to output into streamlit objects. That takes about 5-10 minutes, and then you can already serve your application. It's almost like it's no extra work.
Some people want to write. Some people want to be read.
Very interesting, thanks for the explanation. I work on an ML team as well and definitely notice the heavy reliance on analysis. Almost like reading tea leaves at some point.
Cynical about frameworks but huge fan of this one. I find myself using Streamlit not just to communicate data analyses with other people, but also to explore the data myself, and even for projects I never intend to publish. Being able to produce an interactive visualization quickly and entirely from Python makes so much difference to my research productivity. I just hope the VC cash doesn't complicate things.

Sweden is a bit over-bureaucratic. To get a work visa, you need a job. To get a job, you need a home address in Sweden. To rent something to get a home address, you need work visa and a job, and it takes a lot of paperwork to break this cycle. Also depending on the city finding an apartment to rent can take a lot of time [1].

Consider adding Czechia to your list. Nice place with good beer, and central enough to easily visit other EU countries.

Somewhat anecdotal I guess, but at any given point I have 5-10 things that I could be working on. So if I come across something that I am truly blocked on and need more information, then I ask for that info through appropriate channels and move on to priority thing 2.

Understandably this can lead to a lot of context switching, but so can someone swiveling in a chair to ask a question or go down a rabbit hole. You can optimize the process a bit by shifting perspective and having a path to follow if you get blocked, rather than lamenting on how you're blocked(not you in particular, but people in general).

*I feel like it is somewhat rare that a person only ever has 1 specific thing to work on.
there's a lot of sense to this, but I still continue to believe a lot of very good incentives & governance exist, that help small & medium folk, that intend well. I'm not in favor of giving up & u regulating; when systems benefits are dominated by the big, it's time to re-regulate, try to alter the ellegible beneficiaries.
Looks like it.

- Twitter has suspended both General Michael Flynn, President Trump's first National Security Adviser, and attorney Sidney Powell. Also less know users.

- Twitch and Snapchat disabled Trump's accounts.

- Shopify took down two online stores affiliated with the president.

- YouTube says it's accelerating its enforcement of voter fraud claims against President Trump and others based on Wednesday's events.

- TheDonald.win lost a host (but has backups)

- Facebook has banned Brandon Straka and removed his #WalkAway campaign on the site, an initiative consisting of over half a million users.

I was about to respond until I realized your post was a Swift-ian parody so sophisticated as to be almost over my head. Well done.

But if we were going to try to reduce the complicated, inherently human, and uncertain concept of law to computer code, surely you'd agree that a declarative programming language would be a better choice. Something like:

prohibits_free_exercise_of_religion(X) :- unconstitutional(X).
respects_establishment_of_religion(X) :- unconstitutional(X).
unconstitutional(X) :- not_law(X).

Now, all you have to do is write Prolog code to test for when a law prohibits the exercise of religion or respects the establishment of religion!
Can you please elaborate on why its useless?

It's a composite index. A covering index would be this:

ALTER TABLE staff ADD INDEX idx (last_name, first_name);
SELECT first_name FROM staff WHERE last_name = 'n';

A covering index is something very special - all results are returned from the index. Not all databases do this - Postgres does not, because it does not want to maintain all the versions (see MVCC in wikipedia) in the index.
Isnt the tool more looking at what the dev is doing rather than timing?
While I agree with the general sentiment, increasing city density takes careful planning. If a neighborhood doesn't invest in the necessary public services such as transportation and education, more density can be a problem. So the entire community who pays for these services should have some say in what happens.

That said, I'm still pro growth as long as we plan accordingly.
Yes. Apparently a double digit percentage of people answering surveys respond "yes" to the question "are you deceased?"

As someone who has fostered and adopted children with trauma backgrounds (including abuse and neglect), it's doubly frustrating to see parents equating things like sleep training and formula feeding with abuse and neglect.

When you have a kid that was intentionally burned as a toddler by a grandmother as punishment for crying, and another that was left strapped to a car seat with a box of cereal so his mother could go on a meth-binge, it's frustrating to see upper-middle-class mother's calling each other abusive or neglectful for allowing increased screen time during quarantine.
Thanks for asking this. This is like comparing Photoshop and Canva.

Descript is hands down the leader in any transcript based video/audio editing. They set the standard for detailed editing and magically manipulating audio/video.

We are focused on the workflow around creating something visually appealing, that uses a Zoom recording in it. Specifically, the transcript-based interface is only for speeding up the review process, but our main focus is on visual templates to drop in the video/captions.

One way to think of it is that we took the Descript Audiogram feature, and built out a workflow that creates a wider variety applicable to marketing/sales related needs.

We are solving the problem where you need to quickly take a video recording and make something you/your team can proudly share on social media, that reflects your company's brand guidelines/visual aesthetic.
I literally just off the phone to my GP trying to get a referral for an adult ADHD diagnosis.

She basically said, there's a massive backlog and underfunding of the service, and instead of her referring me to the adult ADHD and autism psychology services directly I should approach a more generic NHS Adult Mental Health service and try to get them to refer me for a diagnosis, or write a letter asking her to. Just seems like a bit of a ringmarole.

She also said that the NHS wouldn't recognise a private diagnosis as they have a financial incentive to lean towards positive diagnoses, and so the NHS wouldn't foot the bill for eg any ADHD meds that would ensue from it.

Is this the experience other people have had, especially in the UK?
This is true of many things in life. The branding and marketing is more important than actual quality. :)
It helps create an industry where people can earn money for designing avatars. That already happened in Second Life, but a more open system could also allow designers to use better tools, and of course make it more worthwhile to begin with. Both for designers as well as for users, as there are more things they can do with their avatar.

I don't think burning electricity is the important part.
I can use more or less all other websites with Tor fine, though. It's only Stack Overflow that insists on this nonsense. On most other sites, including this one, I can even make an account and post.

Is their site really so sensitive as to make reading with Tor impossible?

Who, what, where, & when are mandatory items on a checklist for this type of communication.

> "There is an individualistic notion here that you, personally, need to be the leader of a project to change the world."

I have ambitions of making the world better (not just a wish, but with ideas on how to), but I'm not doing so because I need it, but because if I'm not prepared to do it, I don't believe it'll get done, not at the rate we need it anyway. I'm sure there are tons of people with a similar attitude, we can all have our part to play.

If the world was healthier, I'd prefer doing something like making arcade games. Perhaps I'll have time for that later.
Most IDEs will let you search Maven Central in a UI and add those pesky snippets to your pom for you.
The only point I was making was in response to the comment above where the commenter was downplaying the effects of radiation poisoning causing huge amounts of human suffering and death. I was merely pointing out that there has been a lot of hardship caused by both nuclear weapons, DU and nuclear accidents - read the second link above, and account of a guy who was sent to clear up DU after the first Gulf War. Pretty horrific stuff.
Why so much? Or is it only for the ones that are unlocked?
1) these people hit a huge jackpot I don't care to "protect" them at all. We already have the CA tax postponment program for low income seniors anyway.

2) no. As long as California is a direct democracy the law will stay. Even Prop 15 failed so any chance of reform through the existing process is doomed. Justice Stevens echos this point here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html I suppose that maybe with billions of lobbying and ad spend we could Prop 22 a repeal through but even then I doubt it.

The only way I see it happening is if the courts strike it down as unconstitutional. Equal protection is applied stronger on issues of race and Nordlinger v Hahn didn't address that. We now can see real data that Prop 13 systemically hurts minorities and I believe another challenge is warranted.

Edit: actually should have talked about "disparate impact" instead in that last part.
I don't know exactly. There has to be enough liquidity in Bitcoin locally to find enough persons to trade with. Starting a new cryptocurrency in such a situation will be difficult because of deflation. Deflation is extremely dangerous for the economy.
And commercial users tend to be more sophisticated.

So then we just ban users from such programs?

(I don't know the answer, but this ends up down a pretty strict path of not letting you hurt yourself).

In this case they're filtering for readers who are susceptible to a particular type of groupthink: people who've read mostly positive stuff about Bitcoin and are inclined to believe it. It is impossible to argue with a straight face that glibly dismissing one side of an argument as "a few scared souls cowering in a corner" (as opposed to "most people") is a statement embracing heterodoxy.

As pointed out in other subthreads, it's a marketing document targeted at people interested in Bitcoin, not a reflection of Bridgewater's internal culture. And having sucked in people who agree that "most people" seem to want to promote Bitcoin, the actual analysis is a lot more bearish than the Bitcoin-promoting stuff they're likely to have been reading anyway...

Equity is the net value of the home minus the mortgage. So do not subtract the debt (aka mortgage) from equity to determine value.

Either use the purchase price or appraisal as an estimate for what you'll be able to sell the house for. (It's often wise to decrease this number, as you can lose roughly 10% of the value in further transaction costs when you sell.)

Depends on the game.

What do you think of the 6.8mm SPC, which at first glance looks like it'll be better at long range (splitting the difference between 6.5 and 7mm was a compromise between range and damage)?

From the Wikipedia article the "[300 AAC] purpose is to achieve ballistics similar to the 7.62×39mm Soviet cartridge in an AR-15 platform while using standard AR-15 magazines at their normal capacity." Surely we can do better than that, 7.62×39mm is not a terrifically great round either.
I may be missing something obvious, but how does it find VNC servers?
> The cost to 51% attack the network is opportunity cost of mining valid transactions

Which, after the block rewards run out and the price of Bitcoin probably looks different, will still be difficult to attack. But, the mining will have stopped then. Although it's pretty far in the future presumably.

Tons of other solutions than PoW as well, Algorand's PPoS is just one example.
