y, it's an interesting trend.

Decision making processes evolving to machines talking to machines, and humans talking to humans.
It's also worth considering why we feel emotions. That emotional pain exists so we will remember it and avoid making similar mistakes in the future.

Children will get hurt, but they heal. You get a few scrapes and bruises while you're learning. Reasonable protections against catastrophe are important, but eliminating pain is a high bar to reach and it will come with a high cost. Not just a financial cost, either. It will cost children opportunities for excitement, joy and learning.
My two cents:

One, we are terrible at handling relationships, and emotions in general. A lot of psychological research is basically ignored, and we're talking basic stuff--things like how depression happens, how to handle anger, what a bad relationship looks like.

Second, we're in the unusual position of believing that we're economically and socially mobile--that the poor can become rich--and also being constantly given examples of how hard it still is. We chase an American Dream of being the self-made, self-sustaining free human being, but are constantly reminded that failure sits just behind us and that even the best of friends can trip you up.

On that note, we're also terrible at coping with failure.
Hope I'm not just adding noise at this point, but I want to also chime in in Django's favor here.

Firstly, the situation today really is very different than 2011, although I will say that I also used Django around then and also enjoyed it.

The documentation in particular is actually, in my opinion, some of the best documentation of a project out there.

That said, this really depends on your use case. I think Django is a great fit for some things, especially building up REST APIs or fairly complex dynamic applications, but there are some usecases for which it's not as suited.
Those lower case a's. ZOMG QUIRKY!

Yep. And make me X it out. :(

[...] A food truck sells salads for $6.50 each and drinks for $2.00 each. The food truck's revenue from selling a total of 209 salads and drinks in one day was $836.50. How many salads were sold that day? [...]

I feel really dumb.

So they sold 209 salads, and then it is asked how many salads were sold. Well, 209, no?

Assuming they meant to ask how many drinks were sold, 209 salads * $6.50 per salad, comes out to over $1300. So about -250 drinks were sold, that is 250 were bough from customers.

Assuming instead they meant that it was 209 drinks that were sold, the number of salads then comes out to (836.50 - 2*209) / 6.50 which is 64.38

What am I missing???
I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the term "free software". The "free" refers to freedom, not price[1]. Terms like "opening the code" don't actually describe what the status of your software in terms of its freedom are (am I allowed to redistribute it or modify it or even run it for any purpose?).

And besides, I wasn't agreeing that it's a justifiable position, I was trying to highlight the confusion that arises when you use a term like "open source" (which doesn't have any moral backing, so "opening" the code may or may not make the software "open source").

I use to be a librarian and I do a lot of statistical work and analysis but I am not an expert but everything I have looked at that is anti-minimum wage I can usually always trace back the money to corporations or some private entity that feels they benefit from low wages. The Pro-Wealth and down trodden the poor has been going on for centuries and we are doing a better job BUT we can do so much better.

I fail to see the proper small government view of low wages. These people HAVE TO HAVE MONEY so instead of their job paying them tax payers are making up the slack. WIC,Health Care, Food Stamps would go away with higher wages but instead we continue to give the money to corporations.

# salads sold + # drinks sold = 209, perhaps?
Except we don't know enough about the project to do so. And it seems like those involved in the project that could do so have no interest in doing so.

This is not a "blame the people who complain for not contributing" thing. This is a "the people who are presenting the project are doing a horrible job of it."

He's said on numerous occasions it can't be done without protesting and demonstrations, etc.
I believe it should be interpreted as this:
209 items were sold of which some were salads and some were drinks.
Yeah, that's basically having the runtime advance to the next GC safe point before running the handler. It's not direct control over signal handlers, but it's fairly low overhead. I guess Go could do this too if it wanted to. I don't think it works for fork though.
As long as it doesn't break API compatibility, why wait?

If I spent enough time with racists, I might not find racism as repulsive. Describing losing a reaction as "moving past it" suggests to me he had a suspicion of that reaction for other reasons; Had he not, he might have considered himself 'desensitised'.

> The food truck's revenue from selling a total of 209 salads and drinks in one day was $836.50.

The key word is total which means it is 209 things, of which some are drinks and some are salads.

One of the big critiques of the SAT in the past has been its 'studyability', because it tends to mean rich people can hire SAT tutors for their kids and memorize exactly which equations/wording templates will be on the test and score higher, so this may be an effort to combat that.

The related NYT article today suggests that all the extra english may actually make it worse for ESL students, so it's interesting to see if those goals will work at cross purposes.
Yes, but the sentence could be parsed (and was initially parsed by me) as 209 salads and an unknown number of drinks.
I think they mean that there were 209 items sold, made up of some number of salads (x) and some number of drinks (y) such that X + Y = 209, and that $6.50X + $2.00Y = $836.50

The question is horribly worded, but I hope that helps clear some ambiguity. It's a system of equations -- 2 equations, 2 unknowns, which makes it a slightly harder problem.
I doubt you record all positions of a sensor updated several times per second in PostGres.

I am a programmer, an advertising hater, and a donor-supported content creator. A couple years ago I had an idea for a product that I feel would address this problem extremely well, filling the gaps that Patreon and Flattr seem to be neglecting.

I've started on it, and it's coming along, but sadly my schedule doesn't have room for another ongoing project, and I can't afford to pay another programmer to build it for me, so progress comes in fits and starts. Maybe once I have a demo-worthy prototype I can seek funding and hire help.

While Pynchon's smackdown is devastating, I can't help but feel that he would have written a better one in later years. Actually it would be better if he had simply stopped at "that is another problem entirely". "Perhaps more psychiatric than literary" is clever, but at that point he's bludgeoning.
It is always the case. Even if you model app state in a functional way, the state is still somewhere, for example a haskell program may be pure but only because it pushed the unsafePerformIO call into the runtime. UIs always have additonal state that is not modeled in the backend, we can only reduce the surface area of code that is stateful, but we can't outright remove it, it is essential complexity in all UIs.
I also do not speak English at home, nor do most of my peers and I found the opposite to be true: it is easier to do math problems and find spelling mistakes for those of us who do not have English as a mother tongue.

To a language implementor, these distinctions are not pedantic at all. A declaration of an array is a thing with a type, a name, and a size, each of which we have to pay attention to. It's really nothing like a sequence of consecutive locations in memory.

To a language user, certainly, such distinctions usually don't matter. But conflating "lambda expression" and "closure" is particularly problematic. On the one hand, as this article points out, not all lambda expressions are evaluated by constructing closures. On the other, it's certainly not the case that all closures come from lambda expressions -- in many languages (certainly Scheme, Common Lisp, JavaScript, and Python, and I think Ruby and PHP) you can perfectly well create a closure from a named function; it's done all the time. Here's an example in Python:

def f(a):
def g(b):
return a + b
return g

See? f returns a closure, but there's no lambda expression in the code.

So given that lambda expressions and closures, though related, are not in 1-to-1 correspondence, I think it's important to understand the distinction.
What Will It Mean If LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves?
It's odd that you went straight for "nefarious". I didn't actually think that at all. I assumed cognitive dissonance, actually. Mostly because everyone experiences it, myself included.

I think I was mostly vindicated. We tend to assign more importance to events that are both recent and geographically close to ourselves. The events in Ferguson or the shooting at the clinic in Colorado probably had more of an affect on the collective American psyche.
Olbers’ Paradox: Why Is the Sky Dark at Night? (2000)
> asynchronous IO architecture only beaten by Solaris asynchronous IO

Wait, what? Event ports are nice, but they're still inherently limited by the UNIX "readiness"-oriented I/O interface. And they don't provide a unified file/socket asynchronous I/O interface, either. (No UNIX does.)

VMS got I/O right: I/O request packets and a completion-oriented I/O interface. This, combined with multiple IRQ levels, is the key element behind Windows' superior virtual memory management, combined file system cache management and actual asynchronous file I/O.

Strip everything else away from NT and UNIX and it comes down to buffer-based I/O versus packet-based I/O (Irps), APCs instead of signals, and multiple IRQ levels (not just hi/lo).

Side note: AIX copied the NT I/O completion port API verbatim. (Except they ignore the concurrency parameter, which speaks volumes about impedance mismatch between multiple threads and the traditional process-based UNIX IPC model.)

Fun quote from Wikipedia -- David Cutler on the UNIX I/O model: "getta byte getta byte getta a byte byte byte". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Cutler)

Another tidbit I find interesting: David Cutler was 47 when Bill Gates called him in 1988. He had been working on OS development in a lead capacity since 1975, and subsequently championed the NT kernel that Gates "bet the company on". The core NT APIs that were established in the late 80s and early 90s have stayed the same because they solved the problem correctly the first time 'round.

Linux, on the other hand, was started by Linus in the early nineties (when he was in his 20s) "just for fun". He implemented enough syscalls to get bash to work and went from there. At the end of the day, it was still a UNIX-like operating system.

Cutler knew UNIX inside out and technically knew where and why it was deficient; VMS and thus NT benefited from that.

At the end of the day, it's all about the I/O, and NT has been dominating that since inception.
I see. Yeah. I would have totally failed this test.
Ya, the prop bets are goofy. Seems like a computer AI would struggle to pick what color gatorade gets dumped on the coach.
The Random Oracle Model: A Twenty Year Retrospective [pdf]
That's sort of the point of satire. Family guy isn't just making fun of current events and society, it's also making fun of it's source material and the way it makes fun of current events. Peter is Homer taken to the extreme, such that when you question why Lois would stay with such an ass, you're forced to consider the lesser, but still relevant case of Marge staying with Homer (which to its credit the Simpsons have addressed a few times).

That said, Family guy really just used the template as a springboard, it's more about the absurdity of life and our culture than the Simpsons, which relies heavier on social commentary.
I was frustrated by this article because I find it taking for granted the idea that math is only accessible to a small group of people - 'talented, gifted, with an affinity for, confluence of specific abilities'. I find similar language around programs like the Russian School, Brilliant and quite obviously the 'gifted' programs.

Yet in this article they quote the following statistics:

- High achievement in math: US 9% to SK 30%
- Ratio of high achievers affluent vs poor: US 8 to 1, SK 3 to 1

These statistics communicate to me that half of all students are capable of high achievement in mathematics. From my experience tutoring and visiting classrooms of various grade levels and demographics, most students are capable of the rich problem solving described in the article.

US education's biggest issue is social justice. We spend the least resources on the children who need it most. It's funny to me that the closing of this article suggests that it's time for the advanced mentors to step in to the public education scene. What would a group of people that cater primarily to the best-served students in the system have to say about how to help the worst-served? What would they know about the obstacles faced by poor children and parents; overworked, undertrained and unsupported teachers; and underfunded schools?
"Reading the comments here it seems that people are missing the point by just joining one of those instances."

No, they're not. They just want to get started and go. They don't want to deal with hosting or configuring servers. Many of them might not even have the equipment to do it. That's the experience they've gotten from Twitter, and most people like that.
I remember him saying something about politicians looking out the window and seeing calls for change.
It's an 'isolate a variable and solve' thing.

- s + d = 209

- 2d + 6.5s = 836.50

- Solve for 's'

Man, I miss math.
That's definitely it. They want you to solve a system of equations after understanding a word problem

Given

s + d = 209

6.5 * s + 2 * d = 836.5

solve for s
Trying to find an algebraic expression for the total number of text messages sent by Armand and Tyrone also seems to give the test the whiff of elitism, doesn't it? Or are all test-takers assumed to be the kinds of people who can afford mobile text messaging? In the 90s it was a big deal to get rid of all the language about how many horses Buffy was keeping down at the polo stables, because it was felt that not all test takers could relate to the story.
I think zhte415 is just saying there are some things to watch out for, not that they are disagreeing.

These things make sense to me:

- Sometimes bad things happen receiving money

All this seems reasonable, so your "no" is confusing.
Well, this definitely isn't the place to get into a debate about her views but they are more radical than you suggest. She has every right to think this way, but to claim that she's middle of the road is disingenuous.

Here are some samples of fairly aggressive feminist thinking that I don't think the mainstream would go along with:

While it's undeniable that she did receive some harassment, she also has labeled anyone who disagrees with her as harassers and misogynists.

She's also famous for coining the phrase "Listen and believe" which is in direct opposition to "innocent until proven guilty". So yeah, I'd consider her pretty radical.

Professional athletes typically spend 6 hrs a day, 6 days a week in the gym, because there are diminishing returns on 12 hours a day.

Your crafted hypothetical and false analogy that American workers are athletes, all to support the argument that working harder is meritous, proves the "hard working" bias that I'm talking about.

Socialism is hinged upon making everyone get ahead. Meritous people still have opportunities to rise above.
I'm starting to notice there is a general pattern of anti-development NIMBY almost everywhere. It's either an instinct, not liking change in general, not liking newcomers, irritation at construction or national incentives that cause it. It's probably a combination of all of them.
Generally, the point of a CAPTCHA is to prevent automated use of a service. If we get to the point where CAPTCHA's no longer work in preventing automated access to services, we need to look for atypical use of services.

For example, if a computer passes a CAPTCHA in order to use gmail to automate the sending of spam emails, look for users that mass-spam; typical users won't do that. On the other hand, the computer may try to approximate the usage of a typical user to avoid detection. But if you cant distinguish automated use of your service from typical use of your service, then at that point maybe it doesn't matter so much.
DESCONTAMINACIÓN ELECTROMAGNÉTICA – La Salud Del Hábitat ( Programa 9 )
I mean, part of applying logic to the problem is saying, "Well, clearly they don't mean 209 salads and 209 drinks, since that's $1776.50 and they say right there that the take was $836.50."

I'm okay with that sort of logical reading comprehension being part of the test. It certainly feels like an important real-world skill...
>There are very few people that would dispute that, yet for everything outside of sports there's a subsection of the population that has convinced themselves that hard work somehow doesn't equal success.

I have worked for Kroger for a little over a year now.
I make 7.55 an hour handling dangerous chemicals; before that, I bagged people's groceries for 7.45. As a bagger, I not only worked hard, I constantly told my supervisor that I was willing to work 40 hours, that I wanted to work a register. They didn't promote me until I gave two weeks notice; my parents convinced me to stay.

Now I get paid ten cents extra to clean floors and cover for absentee cashiers (and, mind you, I'm not actually trained; I had to learn it all myself). Oh, and one of the other janitors cannot figure out basic chemical safety. She is paid just as much as I am, and continues to work as a janitor.

It's not that hard work never pays off. It's that I have a concrete example of hard work not paying off that I see every day.
Also, the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are deprecated. They are no longer in clinical use and I don't believe you can find them in the DSM (though you can find "Anti-Social Personality Disorder.")

The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are fundamentally meaningless. They have no more meaning than typical insults and profanities like "dickhead" or "douchebag."

I'm glad that these terms are deprecated for several reasons:

1. The term "psychopath" is a bigoted term. If you look up the Greek roots of this word (psyche + pathos) you find that it literally means a "suffering of the soul." To call a person with ASPD a "psychopath" is the equivalent of calling a mentally disabled person a "mongoloid." Its just needless name-calling and bigotry.

2. The popular conception of the "psychopath" presupposes that "psychopathy" is some kind of immutable condition, one that is inherent in the person to whom the term is being applied. Yet all studies point to the importance of both genetic and environmental factors in the development of what we call "psychopathy." Just as people can be victims of cancer, people can be victims of "psychopathy." Therefore it makes little sense to point the finger at the victim.

TL;DR "Psychopathy" is a bigoted and outdated term
No, a child does not understand that owing a billion dollars means several lifetimes of debt that they will never pay. If no reasonable adult would agree to the terms but a child would, that immediately indicates that the child is not functioning as an adult and is therefore not contractually capable. Because this can pretty much be generalized to all minors, it's simply laid out in law that they are not contractually capable.
Except that, at that level, it is no longer 'free'. Unity will likely be the Pro version (still peanuts). Unreal will also get a chunk of the pie. It's only free up to a point, which is reasonable.
