Driving Schools and Lessons in Nuneaton
I remember my very first driving lesson clearly. It was a few years ago now but the amount of fear and nervousness that I had before stepping into that car for the first
time is still fresh in my memory. It was awful. Within about thirty minutes that fear was gone. I was driving and in my mind I was doing pretty well. for more information http://www.drivingschoolsnuneaton.co.uk/driving-anxiety-for-new-learner-drivers/
> It would be cool if you could mark a block of C code with `#pragma jit`, making the compiler emit a binary that contains some compiler IR and a peephole optimizer to make the code as tight as possible given the conditions at runtime.

Even if that remotely made any sense, which i don't think it does... c code compiles to the end target of all jits anyway, you just have some if statements or use pointers to other executable code that you swap around. Not only do you get the executable code as efficable as any jit, its constant with no jit cost. Its called c programming.

> We are in the mess we are today because everybody think "I don't think it's my job".

You're right, but we're in this mess because there isn't clear knowledge about security nor there is education teaching security on a software engineering side. There aren't simple standards and practices. Hacking a machine is not taught and you won't find tutorials for it, maybe because it's just plain outlawed.

Security is boring, and it's not rewarded. There is no insurance market for software security. If you compare it with real life security, there aren't that many people thinking about scenarios other than police forces, the FBI, insurances, and architects of buildings.

My opinion is that it's a very sensitive sector because government will always try to have the monopoly on security for obvious reasons. Linus is one guy, he doesn't have time to care. All he can do is have a sound kernel design, and that might be much enough. Maybe he can't deal with security like the NetBSD guys do.

I really think security has many, many aspects, and you can't blame one software part for it. Security is all about mitigation, which will always resides on the user and the project engineers.

I'm sure we can agree to disagree on what are the most viable and desirable ways to distribute wealth, but any form of taxation is backed by force, and any spending of that tax leads to it being given to someone else. If you don't pay taxes, you go to jail. When government hires someone to do a job, they give some of that money to someone else.

My son went to a pre-school where they mixed the ages. His first day there an older child helped him button up his apron that they needed for painting. I was there for several mornings at first, while he adapted to being away from us, and saw this happen time and again.

Having the older children help the younger ones had the great result that, once in elementary school where they are separated, the younger ones are like younger siblings to the older ones. It has been fantastic watching this develop thru the years.
As long as people are living in them, what does it matter where the owner lives? I'd agree with you if they're leaving them empty, waiting to sell again, and perhaps some investors are. But otherwise it's a way to allocate houses to people who want them the most (as shown by how much they're willing to pay).

I agree that allowing low cost, high density housing would be great in many cities. But the people living there don't generally agree, and they have more power. If we're stuck with a finite supply of property, then market prices are a reasonable way of allocating that to people.

As I mentioned, without high rents, how else would houses be allocated to residents? More people will want them than can get them. Would you prefer a waiting list? Or only allow ownership transfer by inheritance - excluding newcomers entirely?
The setting here is pre-school: older kids are 5-6, not in their teens.

> compression makes all parts of the music almost equally loud

What you are referring to is only one particular use-case for which a "compressor" is used during music production: Most often people apply dedicated plugins to the "master" mix (the final result to be put onto CD or sold as a file). These plugins will apply what's called a "multiband compressor" which can reduce dynamics individually on different parts of the frequency range, and often do quite a lot more magic than what I claim to understand. -- Done excessively the result is the mentioned "always one volume" result of the loudness wars.

The compressor as a tool isn't limited to this use-case, though. You will, for example, put it on individual instruments' track to shape the relative strength of the percussive and decaying content of an instrument, a drum or a plucked guitar for example: Typical compressor plugins have a attack-time which shape how fast the reduction of gain follows an input signal. If you have this slower than the duration of the percussive sound, the instrument will sound more "agressive", instead of being leveled down, as the "attack" sound is increased, relative to the resonating portion. -- The end result sounds just like the exact opposite of the excessive master compression people complain about.

Then you will invariably have unintended peaks in a real-world recordings, and if you don't want to level down the whole recording to account for those peaks, or manually level them down for every instance, you'll also employ a compressor plugin on problematic tracks.

Then there's the possibility to filter the part of the spectrum that will trigger the compressor (it's "sidechain") or to let a compressor be triggered by one instrument (or group of instruments) and act on the signal of another instrument (or vocals, or group of tracks): That way you increase the percieved separation of different voices in your mix, again increasing the perceived dynamics of a song.

So, if you really want to find music with no compression at all, you'll likely only find classical recordings made only with one single X/Y microphone pair... :-)
Wood is a renewable and a carbon trap. On site, dirt is a good choice for a building material. You can also use it to bulk mass. You just need a digger and some grunt work. See building with rammed earth.

I've a friend who has just added to his 17th century thatched cottage with like materials: oak timber frame, timber cladding and wattle and daub, which is dirt and wood/hay/hair. It's lovely and solid. Sadly planning officials insisted on an over the top concrete foundation that negated all his hard work with his sympathetic build.

The wood is good!
Why would you want to compare yourself to those bunch of losers?
Alternate view : most people are either inept or convinced they are inept. Even larger projects like building a house from what is delivered to a building site these days is something I'd expect anyone with good mechanical understanding to do from scratch. Yet we pay people 200000 and upward to do it. To be honest, the non-regulatory reasons to have anything other than laying a foundation (ie. you start with a stable concrete slab in the ground) done for you are very few these days.
Synchronous group activities are a necessity because of time and resource limitations, so I'm not making any mistakes nor assumptions. It's impossible to have a 1:1 teacher to student ratio in common education. 1:1 is used sometimes in medical sciences and practical professions that require physical demonstration, at least. For common education, the results are excellent even with larger group sizes. You can judge that by just looking at the plethora of experts graduating every year from numerous professions.

The dialogue is a method and is used in class rooms and lectures when the students ask the teacher questions. They can also ask their peers who have better understanding of the topic. However, printing press made it possible to create text books that allow a lot more information to be learned in much shorter time span and to circumvent the limitations in teachers' capabilities and knowledge. Same for videos, internet, and so on.

As for pathological behavior disorders, they are very real and vary in degree. It may be that you don't have first hand experience on how difficult those can be, and how much they affect groups of children at sensitive development stages.

This is of course why reclaimed building materials are a thing (in the UK anyway). I could go to a place not 10 miles from here and buy a cast iron fireplace that was previously in a home very similar to mine. The irony being that a previous owner of my home probably chucked my fireplace in a skip in about 1980.
I started learning programming at 27, I'm 30 now, have a full time job and never been happier, so you are definitely not late.

Each family spends 10% of income.

Average household income is X.

3 teachers per 19 kids

=

Each teacher generates revenue of 0.63X. Considering each parent is making 0.5X in a two parent household, that's cutting it a bit close.

Edit: I originally commented with an incorrect 6.3X. Fixed.
19 kids * 10% * X / 3 teachers = 0.63X

That is as democratic as it gets. And yes, this should attack anyones assumption that the people always vote for the best.
Thats why there are non-voted pillars of power in a good democracy, that can not correct a bad course, but can at least keep it in check.
That is just your opinion. Repetition is currently working extremely well since we are able to train experts in fields that require a wide variety of knowledge from various sciences. Medicine, bioengineering, astronomy, military, education, and so on come to mind.

We are also having university "students" tutor younger people. These are called teachers and professors.

No, compressors have also been used in analog studios for a long time... See, for example, this device... http://www.audioblendmastering.com/fairchild-670/

Often digital plugins try to recreate the characteristics of such old tube monsters, because their sound is considered superior by some.

On the other hand, mastering plugins (including compressors and much more) nowadays are algorithmically that complicated that an analog version is not feasible.

Welcome to life.

Don't worry though. Everything will be OK.

(The things I'm about to say is/are true for me. So is most of what everyone else here is saying. While it's good that you are asking your peers for help, the answers you will get won't make "sense" until you discover them for yourself. (Like the A-HA moment when you finally grok a mathematics proof or a famous algorithm). This will require effort from you.)

The facts of the matter are simply this:

- Your life is unique the same way that everyone else's is.
- Your journey is not the same as anybody else's.
- You are a whole person.
- You have all the tools you need.
- :)

The answers you seek are of a spiritual nature and you need some kind of spiritual process to discover them. I can recommend Buddhism, Toaism or even the Yogic disciplines/technologies. What they all have in common is an insistence that one needs to meditate, daily...

(Meditation, loosely, is learning how to accept and acknowledge thoughts that are uncomfortable.)

Good luck!

Man I'm really glad he didn't get his way for Paris

There seems to be a similar sort of thinking between grand designs in urban planning and waterfall style development (because of course everything is like software development if you try hard enough). A lot of compartmentalizing into giant subsystems (let's put all the commerce here , all the houses there! In giant buildings!). And the results seem just as mediocre

Its kind of funny, despite having a lot of the same zoning vocabulary as this grand plan, playig Sim City for an hour will make you realise how foolish giant zoning areas are. And it's all because of the simple fact that people need to live close to various parts of the city.

+1 for first principles. A city is a bunch of people first, a zoning map second( or ideally, almost dead last)
Who is "we"? It's beneficial for employers, but for those selling their labour (i.e. most of us) there is no reason to be glad about their work being devalued.
There was a post in HN some weeks ago where a comment claimed that US fighters were always superior to Soviet fighters.

I didn't have the energy to dispute it then, but this piece does a pretty good job. The MiG 15 was very much comparable to the Sabre, and the MiG 17 and MiG 21 were better than the F-100, F-105 and the F-104 (ha!)[1].

It was only when the F-4 became available that the US could match the MiG-21 (which was one of the reasons that the Israelis mostly flew Mirages until the mid-1970s).

Here is the simple idea that I always use - "Don't take life too seriously - we are not special". When we start to take our life too seriously we start to think about some sort of objective or some kind of success we want to get to. We start comparing ourselves to others to figure out the so called objective and then we find that we are far behind from everyone else.

Now the way I avoid being too serious about life is by thinking about the Universe and how amazing and large it is. At the scale of the Universe we simply don't matter.

>This author should ask himself, if he earned $1k/money for breathing, would he accept a shitty job for $7/hr? If not, how much would it need to pay before he would accept?

I think it's better to compare inclusively here, because as much as people would be much more likely to reject shitty working conditions, they'd also be more likely to accept lower wages when their total income is still pretty good.
Well, an important element of old style animation was the heavy reuse of frames and poses.
Huh. Downloaded a tone generator, and found that while in the video I heard a series of clicks at 16khz and beyond, I could in fact hear 16khz if I raised and lowered the volume from nothing to loudest in the app. It sounded like a whine and much harder to hear than I expected, distinguished most easily by when it quickly went from present to not present and back. In fact, I kept going up the scale doing that, and raising the volume, and found that I was able to hear even 19 to low 20khz as a high pitched noise, very quiet even at -6db. So ... yeah, probably does me no good considering that the loudness of other pitches makes it near impossible for me to hear anything practical in those frequencies. Of course, then I go to listen to music and wow, I can hear all this detail. I think I trained my ears for it, or I'm losing it. ;-)

All of the above was answered by codenameone.com already. And unlike flutter it's unlikely to be spring cleaned anytime soon.
Using a tone generator on my computer and a pair of headphones, I found that I couldn't easily hear past 15-ish myself, then I started turning up the volume, or playing with turning the volume all the way up, then all the way down. Using that technique, I was able to distinguish noise and high pitches up to 20.2khz or so. So I think from now on, if I hear some whine, I'm going to trust that it's there and not my imagination. Of course, it's also the definition of going deaf, I suppose, that I have to turn up the pitches to such a loud volume to hear them in the first place...

Some of them "roll" their business over every few years - starting a new company, transferring to it all assets (and maybe some liabilities), rehiring the workers, and then shutting down the old company. This way they get a new name and reputation as often as most people get a new house.

Hm... that is indeed a weird problem. If you don't get tested on Monday, that is a surprise, because you expect to get tested on Monday. Then if you don't get tested on Tuesday, that is surprising, because you've inductively determined that Wednesday through Friday are ineligible. The rest of the days follow the same logic.

In effect if you just tell someone "you will have a surprise test next week", that is contradictory, since they can reasonably expect to have a test at any moment during the following week and the test can therefore never be surprising, just the absence of the test.
