When I was in high school (mid-90s in a rural area), we had teachers via live satellite (the TI-IN network out of San Antonio) for those subjects with few interested students or no qualified staff resources.

https://books.google.com/books?id=HGVQDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PT234&ots...

We would connect via phone and participate in classroom activities with the teacher and other students on a rotating schedule. It was all lecture and interactive learning for the duration of the daily broadcast. The teachers were good. The production was high quality (for the time). And I can only imagine they did it on a shoestring budget.

This video is a perfect example of both the production quality and is filled with examples of the type of rural districts it served:

That said, my experience was that it simply couldn't match the value of being in a classroom with a demanding teacher. The social expectation provided by an engaged teacher and the ability to directly measure my performance against my peers was critical. And that experience has made me generally skeptical of those who present distance learning as some sort of educational panacea.

Schools have long noted that parental involvement is the biggest indicator of which students will struggle and which students will succeed. Given the current circumstance where parents are expected to shoulder a larger burden in making sure kids are engaged and learning, the gap between successful students and unsuccessful students will likely increase.

The feelsbad mechanics (like random creep placement) could be accounted for and the randomness mitigated, but it was highly skill-based and thus frustrating for beginners. The fact that the same guy won almost all the tournaments in the beta shows how skill-based the game was. Closer to Chess than to Magic in some ways, despite the elements of randomness. I think Garfield was right, but there were very real concerns about the player experience that still needed to be addressed. It also needed frequent new card releases imo.

But they had one incredibly useful attribute that the US government didn't have: time.

They had time to extracted pounds of flesh from bank shareholders before writing checks, time to design policies to force banks to write down losses and issue warrants to the government

2008 was different. After Lehman collapsed, the government had to make it's initial intervention overnight, and the full package took weeks to put together, not months.
I was impressed with Die Hard (1988) when I first saw it; so well engineered, as a movie and story and visual spectacle. Now that's the way action movies should be made, I thought, and hoped there'd be more like it -- even while wary of formulaic recombinations, like 'Die Hard on a boat', etc.

Years later, I saw The General (1927), and it blew my mind. There, 60+ years earlier, was 'Die Hard on rails'. There were so many action-movie scenes and stunts and plot points that have been repeated over and over in the decades since.

But: when Keaton did it, he wasn't cribbing anyone else. These weren't old familiar cliches (yet). He was risking his health with dangerous stunts. He didn't have the help of later special effects. He didn't even have sound or spoken dialogue. But still it all worked: the humor, the story, the stunts, the tension.

It was like discovering the common ancestor of hundreds of later movie and TV tropes, the very first action flick that crawled out of the oceans of text and imagination to walk on the dry land of motion pictures.

To have created that, with the limited tools of the era, prefiguring so much of what came later -- well, we can only hope to do something similar with the still-young digital and network media of our age.
I'm really boring. 999999.
I think uzbl is much more promising. It is built on WebKit and with little tweaks you can install it without X: http://lug.rose-hulman.edu/wiki/DirectFB
"The only plaza" is either unambiguous (in cities with one plaza) or incorrect (in cities with multiple plazas). Just because a language makes it impossible to be unambiguous doesn't mean it makes it impossible to be wrong.
Yeah. It's called False Start - http://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/09/05/blacklisting.html
"I venture to guess that anyone using a system like this would keep their computers on anyways" - way to limit your potential user base. I use dropbox to sync data between my work computer (turned on during the day, off otherwise) and my home computer (turned on in the evening, off otherwise) so the service you propose is useless to me and likely many other people who care about power usage.
Obviously you wouldn't write kernels. You would write the equivalent of shell scripts for ordinary users. Imagine if ordinary users could automate their daily workflow or customize MS Word as much as vim or emacs users do with their editors.
You're using a straight Ad Hominem, or as pg calls it a DH1.
> Why would you even use floats when dealing with geometric data?

Perf? Which hardware does have support for math on fixed-integers? (e.g. sqrt, inverse sqrt, ray triangle intersection accelerations, etc.)
But isn't the big caveat that those companies only pay that in SV, and not in ie Europe? I could earn more in 10h/week at Gumroad then even my most well paid developer friends do here.
I was taken completely aback when I saw the variety of (minecraft-based) games that are on hypixel.net. Maybe I should check out roblox. I looked a couple months ago but couldn't get the installer working in the first few minutes and bounced.

My Signal message history goes back further than that but maybe the feature was added midway before I switched phones.
Spectrum of humanity spreads wide and there will never be absolute world peace - in the same way, there is no peace in the animal kingdom. As I write, thousands of animals are dying at this very moment, millions of insects are killed. Nature is fucking brutal, my friend. Unimaginable amount of pain was inflicted in the wilderness during this hour.

We're lucky to be able to communicate to each other in civil manner without ripping each other apart for food. Pretty incredible to be a human!
I've been doing a whole blog series on doing this also: http://bitquabit.com/post/having-fun-python-and-elasticsearc... . It's intereting to see a different take on it.
Thete was a related article recently about leaky pipes that leak methane in extraordinary amounts.
> Creating realistic project plans, estimating time and effort, rocking a spreadsheet your own way... those are all things you MUST do as a good project manager, and those skills are easily learned.

I don't think a PM should do much estimating. It is the team that should estimate the effort when given goals.

>SET EXPECTATIONS AND NEVER ABANDON THEM

This somewhat contradicts the agile way. Yes, I do think that expectations should be discussed and set but I don't think you can promise to never change them. People can change their minds, communication may have been missunderstood, technical difficulties may be larger than the team first thought, etc. I think you need to be able to change scope and/or expectations in a project.
Carbon emissions are correlated to human activity. We can dial them up or down theoretically through human action.

Methane emission through permafrost (both land and submarine) could end up as a cascading natural emission that forms a feedback loop.

I think that's a big part of why people are panicking.

I wonder how many drugs McAfee was on that day.
I definitely do not think that finding the film is enough to stake a claim this broad.

In the absence of case law, I wouldn't be so sure. In the US there was a case that was decided last year that might imply otherwise. A somewhat "famous artist" (Richard Prince) used a photo by a relatively "unknown photographer" (Patrick Cariou) and "transformed" it by printing it much larger, splotching the subjects eyes with paint, and superimposing a guitar: http://newsgrist.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c66f153ef01157010d2...

On appeal, it was concluded that this was fair use, there was no copyright infringement, and that Cariou had no claim against Prince or right to collect royalties:

http://www.artinamericamagazine.com/news-features/news/richa...

It's not the same, but I wouldn't want to bet that a court would have decided otherwise if Prince had started with Cariou's negative and had done the work in the darkroom rather than on the easel. Which would imply that it's not even necessary for the film to be lost or abandoned, and that mere access could be enough. And the parties settled the case after the appeal, so there is no chance that the Supreme Court will clarify it further until something else similar makes it to them.
It can easily be made much more chauvinist by mocking many accents and characters. For example, "таджикский библий".
This is a whole drive write for every 6 hours of use. Modern TLC is usually only warrantied for about 600 drive writes, though it can usually go higher before failing.

So if you use your laptop for about 5 hours a day, you can expect the SSD to last at least 2 years. For an unswappable part, this is a short time.

They’re really abusing the flash and pushing it to the endurance limit. I personally switched over to all SSD when I discovered that my usage patterns would consume so little lifetime that it was a nonissue. This would make me paranoid again.
>Regardless of your view point, there is still has freedom of speech

Freedom of speech is irrelevant if speech doesn't have consequences to those in power. Even less so if there are plenty to tow the establishment's lines anyway...

>and elections that matters so if the people dislike the policy they can change it

LOL, yeah, they can vote between one or the other corporatist neoliberal party, complicit in everything except a few token issues they use to lure their faithful. Such choice...
> TensorFlow is actually mostly C++, which makes it difficult for a Python developer to debug.

I'm curious if you've seen https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/debuggi..., and if so, to what extent it helps with C++/Python interop in TensorFlow context?
>It disingenuous and lazy to make broad statements of equivalence like this.

It's also disingenuous and lazy to ignore a century or more of empirical evidence.

>There are very obvious differences in how the world’s governments operate.

Are there?

Can you share your sources on your key points?
> The UI will be designed for people who know 11,100 ppm is a stupid level

Therein lies the problem: assuming your users will never be malicious or make mistakes.

Note also that you can type whatever the hell you want in a google search box. I could type "launch all nuclear forces at Russia", but that isn't going to actually happen.
Your alternative title is biased.

You inserted your assumption that

* not having a paid job = non-working

* these are all wives. The title just says women

* that the husbands are unwilling participants in this. I guarantee you many husbands want their wife at home

Also, well

"Fission was discovered in 1938/1939 and we dropped two bombs on Japan in 1945. No chance we could do something like that in this toxic environment of today"

I believe some people consider WW2 and the nuclear wipeout of 2 cities of common people to be "toxic environment", too.
Exactly, the US defence industry is a politically acceptable version of a welfare state
Cellular networks, I believe, are allowed to throttle.

If everyone had Bitcoin and no other currency you'd have a feudal hellscape. Maybe the bitocracy would offer victims some sort of indenture...
I work in defense and the approach to software development is hell. Imagine package managers and Git being newfangled scary technologies and not unit testing anything. Now slap tens or hundreds of millions of dollars on there and you've got a defense program.

I'm actually quite tired of it and I'm looking elsewhere.
I was mostly responding to "I'd argue it certainly won't be great for the average worker"

Many of us were working remotely before the current situation. I guess that makes me not average. But many people are saying they're looking forward to not going back to a commute every day even if they stay in the same general area and maybe go in a day or two a week for collaboration/meetings. The big negative for me has been working remotely during a pandemic with my usual 100 or so days of travel curtailed.
Not leaving them alone is enough, but to make people actually follow the rule, it is useful to tell them that kids are easily able to drown even in unbelievably small amounts of water, and also in situations where drowning seems almost impossible.
I'm sorry but I just don't believe that. I'm not calling you a liar since you (or I) could have heard wrong but the simple fact is there's too many ways for a software program to mine data for the Military not to at least look at the source code before deploying it. So I can't see them implementing closed source software
Nice explanation, though I dont see how this leads you into becoming a formalist at the end. That countable models exist for the set theoretic universe, seems like part of the phenonmena of infinite structures having perfect reflections in subsets. This is, of course, much more breathtaking than the more usual facts like the natural numbers having the same cardinality as even numbers since cardinality is transcended and the whole universe collapses into a countable set.
Usenet is not the only community that uses '>' for quotes. I wasn't aware that Reddit or open-source mailing lists were so unusual, but I can certainly claim no lineage with Usenet.

I will, however, take that assumption as a compliment of the highest order, even if it involved no ingenuity on my part.

As an aside, I'm just going to assume that this is a counterexample to the "be nice" policy that is in effect for Stack Exchange-affiliated sites? Or is this rather another "founder exception" to the rules?
No one sane runs code to automatically take out and replace EBS volumes from raids.
Click on down arrow on right and click show link. It appears the minus circle means 'Not Applicable'. X square = No, tick square = Yes.

It's a pretty clunky interface.
Instead of using that technique why not ignore the sound of the keystrokes all together and instead use timing techniques such as those used for snooping passwords for SSH?

You can derive the keys by timing the small differences in the time it takes a finger to reach each key. At least using this data should improve the accuracy of the audio only method.

I wonder if you used two microphones whether you could triangulate the keys?
I got my hardcopy in the mail about a week ago. I have very little real world programming experience --- I've only dabbled in Ruby and Python in the past scripting small utilities.

I picked up LYAH because it looked interesting. Everyone says Haskell is such a weird language and I can't comment on that, but it certainly seems much more mathematical. I've been using it in parallell to my Algebra II class in school to solidify knowledge in both topics.

I recommend it to anyone, read it online at least! http://learnyouahaskell.com

Perhaps my requirements or expectations are higher than your own. The downtime hasn't been excessive, but sometimes, it is down for an hour before I see anything on their status update blog, and meanwhile, I'll have received a few notes from site users and advertisers.

There are three incidents listed in the past two weeks of packet loss, routing issues, and so on for 1-3 hours. There were other issues in May, I don't know where those are listed now.

Yes, it's only going down for a couple of hours at a time. Considering I'm using the server for images for a medium traffic website - an hour or two is VERY noticeable to my customers, and as noted, it adds up to more than the downtime on my Slicehost account (St. Louis).
The amount that people are willing to pay to prevent the Mona Lisa burning is proportional to the amount that the Louvre spends on fire prevention, etc. You can put a value on anything, even if only implicitly. It's silly to call something "priceless" (except rhetorically.)
At 0:18, I Ctrl+C the word "google" as selected below. At 0:20, I paste the word "google" replacing the full URL showing in the search box. After that, I do nothing interesting beyond randomly select the URL (but I do nothing with it) - I just didn't cut the end off :-)
Thank you. I believe there isn't a true path to build a successful product, to each it's own.

The crux of a civil discussion is being able to agree to disagree. I am glad we have maintained the civility here and had a meaningful conversation.
Just a thought experiment:

What if we define The Good as unity, and evil as the ratio of The Good to relative attainment of the The Good. We might then define compounded evil as a ratio of The Good to the multiplication of the denominators of each ratio-evil consider on its own.

So an act of torture might be (/ 1 ½) and three acts of torture would be (/ 1 ⅛).

I've used Tiddlywiki in the past but I didn't quite like it (just my experience, I know that a lot of people use it). Switched to dokuwiki and after that to media wiki and I'm using this now, but as you can guess from the question, I'm trying to find/build something better for my needs ;).

How do you use Tiddlywiki - do you often search or do you know where did you put some note? What in your opinion are pros and cons of this wiki? What do you think is the biggest problem?
TPB was effectively a modern cultural library for millions. If a child from a poor household wants to experience the greatest music or films created by the artists of our era, and doesn't have hundreds of dollars to pursue that wish, then I think that we are doing ourselves AND the artists a huge disservice by shutting them out and telling them: Go watch some youtube videos and play some shitty flash games, kid.

Asking is a strong way of pursuing things. If you are able to ask yourself and others like you then you are doing it right. Don't be afraid of those who think that this is impossible. Ask yourself how to avoid thinking that it is impossible as a first step to make it possible.

I can haz profile plz? Where is the code spending most of its time? What happens when the responce takes a non-trivial amount of processing?
Modern linguistic formalism is not derived from written language at all. I studied at MIT and UConn in the mid '90's and the separation between prescriptive grammar and linguistics is pretty clear.

That's not to say that current approaches to linguistics are correct; I don't know enough to make that judgement. But I think the problem lies more in the complexity of the domain - not because modern linguists are so foolish as to base theory on written language.
Instead of just running A versus incremental-change A2, also run a B version that's radically different from A. Thus you reap the straightforward benefits of incremental improvements while also searching for something that could radically improve your revenue.

A very powerful concept that you don't see done very often.
If you think you may have the IP address, is there any chance that whatever OS you have running on it will let you discretely log in remotely? Then you can drop some sort of homing beacon on for now so that if the criminal moves (likely, given it's a hotel, of course), you're not SOL.

16 isn't mostly through high school. Unless she's a year ahead, she is/was likely a sophomore, or only half-way through high school. And she's missing the best parts of those last two years - the large number of AP/IB courses offered at most American high schools.

And really, I'm not sure why anybody would be in such a rush to get a job. Money isn't everything.
Palmer Luckey, inventor of the Oculus Rift, was homeschooled.

I wonder what opportunities he missed out on. Can he "socialize?" Maybe he would've done something better if he had taken AP History and went to prom.
