More accurate than what? If you're implying it would be more accurate than profiling Muslims, I think you are incorrect. Muslims as a group make up 1% of the US, but a generous, biased study [0] found that they are responsible for 48% of deaths from terrorism since 9/11. From this it follows that the average Muslim is responsible for approx 48 times more deaths than the average American of any religion.

And this is without considering whether the TSA considers categories that have more predictive power than simply being Muslim, e.g. following a particular kind of Islam.

The only time you run into a WM issue is when you try to ape the OSX singular menubar.

As long as you go with the Windows thinking of having the menubar inside the relevant window, your UI will work across just about every WM out there.

I taught freshman algebra for a semester at a big ten university. Therefore it's also a safe bet that I did a shit load of word problems myself when in school. Here's how you solve word problems:

1. From the text of the word problem, remember what section of the textbook it belongs to, and the standard form of equation to be solved in that section.

2. Match the parameters of the problem to the parameters of the equation.

3. Solve the equation.

For instance, "find the maximum" means creating an expression that has the form of a parabola (the only function they learned with an extremum, up to that point in the course), and solve for the vertex of the parabola.

One other level of classification that is missing here is "Free, but requires a local phone number."

Oftentimes, the operator will send you an SMS with a one-time password, but they require a local phone number to send it to. Or they use your phone number to de-anonymize you, so it must be a phone number from their local country.

When traveling, this makes these "open" access points effectively useless, unless you decide to spoof another person's MAC address.

Nitpick, Deaths due to TERRORIST attacks. Not arbitrary deaths....

"From this it follows that the average Muslim is responsible for approx 48 times more deaths than the average American of any religion."

^ This statement is false as it assumes all deaths are from terrorist attacks, based on your previous statement of 48 times more likely to commit TERRORIST attacks, of which has a silly low death rate compared to ANYTHING else in the US.
One part of it is that every damn package manager out there (outside of perhaps Nix/Guix and Gobolinux) is hung up on having one canonical version of every lib package.

Meaning that the package manager balks at having lib 1.0 and 1.1 installed at the same time, even though ld can handle it just fine, unless you play sleight of hand with the package names (meaning that you get something like lib0 and lib1 for 1.0 and 1.1 respectively).

This in turn leads to a bunch of busy work regarding backporting fixes, maintaining manager specific patches, and recompiling whole dependency trees on minor updates.

No, almost every NAND chip will have bad blocks. The initial ones are discarded during drive initialization in the factory. Then they ideally do some burn-in which may catch a few more bad blocks. Then over the life of the drive you may see thousands of defective blocks depending of capacity and number of NAND dies. However the drive can be designed and tested to tolerate to a expected defect limit with no data loss. Now if there is a bad chip, that can also be handled but the recovery process can be high stress on the SSD like in RAID recovery.

I think this whole thing is missing the point. People, even young people, are extremely savvy when it comes to figuring out what they need to do to get what they want.

What they want is to do well in school. How they do well is to pass their tests. How they pass their tests is by learning the answers to the questions. Making indirect questions that "appeal to real-life problems" is obviously worse, because the main real-life problem students have is passing their tests.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this to not be the case. If students could be assessed on their ability to actually understand and use the material to generate new insights and solve interesting problems, I think mathematics education would be a lot better. But as long as we're assessing students on equation-memorising, let's not pretend otherwise in the way we teach them.

Now that's a step forward. Gloves in VR without force feedback have sucked. The insight here is that there are new kinds of gestures, such as touching fingers together and rubbing them sideways. They're able to sense those gestures with Doppler radar. They probably don't even try to resolve the gestures into positions; they may just throw a machine learning algorithm at the problem of recognizing the gestures from the Doppler radar outputs.

This starts to make VR look useful for something other than roller coaster simulators.

I think that is a hypothesis worth investigating. A good data point to look into would be what educational backgrounds do Western extremists come from.
From what I've seen of the common core, 90% is fine and just plain old math stripped of any historical baggage. The 10% that is bad is the ideology that math is more ambiguous or less certain than it has been portrayed in the past. This is partly based on politics, and partly on the misuse of mathematical philosophy.

I remember being given problems that were plain wrong, e.g. Q: How many miles would a person walking 3miles/h walk in 2 hours? A: 6 miles. I always asserted that the answer is 6, not 6 miles, since the unit is given in the question. Small errors like this in teaching add up to math that looks like a collection of arbitrary commandments that must be memorized. It's understandable people want to move away from this. But this solution is to fix all aspects of teaching so that everything is completely correct, not to pretend that math allows multiple correct answers.

We should be teaching that you can express a well formed question in words, to which there should be a unique correct answer. Word problems shouldn't be an added layer of obfuscation, but rather a map from the semantics of math to the semantics of the real world, to test that the student understands this mapping. It's a bit like talking to a backend programmer and saying "if a user did X, then they did Y, what would your function return, and is that correct"? It forces the programmer to consider not the internal logic of their own code, but how that ultimately maps to what the user sees.

Martian life vs colonization is nothing more than an anecdote once we find signs of it it's nice and all but no one is going to go out of their way to preserve it long term if it means that colonization will be affected.

Eventually there will be life on mars whether it evolved "naturally" there or evolved just as "naturally" some where else and was brought there doesn't matter if it's a rocket or a comet on the cosmological scale both of those processes are just as "natural".

Heck if we find a planet inhabited by self replicating robots they would pretty much automatically count as life, the fact that they aren't made out of some arrangement of self arranging molecules doesn't make it any less "natural" in the grand cosmic scheme.
Unfortunately, humans are generally short-sighted. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

Also, I imagine a lot of these managers would disagree with you about the output; they'll claim that collaboration boosts output, improves quality, etc. Of course, it's all just hand-waving with no evidence. To get any real evidence, you'd have to do some kind of study doing identical or similar projects in both environments. And even then, different people are different: some people might actually be more productive in an open environment. It probably really depends a lot on the personality type of the programmer, and on how they prefer to work. A lot of today's hipster programmers really do like open offices.
Cleanflight is one of many open-source flight controllers widely used in multirotors. Others are Open Pilot (formerly Ardupilot) and derivatives (most notably Tau Labs / Dronin), as well as Betaflight which is a fork of Cleanflight specifically tuned for first-person view flying.

I personally use Betaflight, this is a video of my 180mm quadcopter flying earlier today with the most recent release of Betaflight (2.4.1). The hardest part of using these flight controllers is tuning the PID controller correctly. If you look at my video closely you will notice some oscillations that are the result of less-than-perfect tuning.

> "start with a few problem questions, built around every day scenarios"

One of the difficulties here is termed "cultural competency". Textbook writers sometimes try to write in "every day scenarios" that end up being much more familiar to middle-class suburban white kids than to lower-class inner city latin-american immigrant kids. Math problems that are supposed to reference familiar everyday scenarios sometimes end up turning into lessons about language or culture.

I think my issue is with the ridiculous compromise.

Either government has no authority in this domain (and thus we should have extremely low tax rates and zero overt welfare), or we should actually aim to fix the problem completely (and thus have high tax rates but ensure that everyone has a decent standard of living).

The middle route is absurd. It creates situations in which 'abuse' is even a meaningful concept; it gives arbitrary groups special status.

What does 'abuse' of welfare even mean? In the UK we have media stories about people getting a few grand more than they 'need' (and thus not having to eat rice and beans every meal). Or getting more than the 'median salary', which I take to be evidence that median employees don't earn enough.

>8) Even if regexs are not needed, inevitably the perl dev will use them since that's the perl hammer, and it's hard to know what the intention is with regexes or what the source data even looks like

I'm going to disagree with this one. There's lots of things in any language where it can be hard to see, at a glance, what the intention of the programmer was. That's why we have commenting. You're supposed to comment your blocks of code so that someone else can look at it and understand what that block of code is supposed to do.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell by looking at other people's code, I appear to be one of the only programmers on the planet who actually uses comments....

That's one way to go. You can also take the path of radical simplicity: only include what is absolutely necessary, and what is resilient enough to work in wide situations. To make a tool of the highest quality.

Sometimes a constraint like that can lead you to solutions even better than what you started with.

The first sentence is referring to "specs". It's the manufacturer's claims that are useless.

The second point was referring to the actual measured error rates, which are obviously more meaningful.
I'll be honest: I solve problems more like the first than the second.

I have sensors for certain kinds of information. I would like to be able to process it in order to convert it into other types of information.

That isn't to say the second type of problem isn't important: to be able to say "solution X is the same as solution Y, even though their forms are very different" is powerful when you're trying to analyze and evaluate solutions to a problem. It's just a less common problem to solve.

You can't say that kind of thing without linking to some examples.
from what I understand of common core, the correct answer to your example would be "They would walk 6 miles total." There's an emphasis on clear communication and complete sentences. Many of the textbooks would even encourage the student to write out the sentence stem "They would walk _____ miles total" prior to performing any calculations, and then at the end of the problem to check that the number was actually measured in miles and that the sentence made sense and was a reasonable way to answer the initial question.

This seems to be what you're encouraging in your final paragraph. This brings up the question: why is the common perception of common core so different from what common core is designed to do?

Our code review tool creates a diff and uploads it to a server. Once uploaded you publish the diff and wait for someone to approve it.

Our team squashes and rebases before pushing to master but I know of other teams that leave the history as is.

The only downside of the code review tool is that a large amount of changes is hard to grok. Breaking a single large code review into multiple small reviews generally counteracts that.

It took some getting used to but it's powerful once you understand the development flow.

There's an indication of how (the worst among) muslims would react to Christian terrorists : if you read the press in muslim countries that's exactly what you'll find, Christian terrorists (and Jewish ones). In the same way that the Russian press constantly presents "crimes" of western people and "their allies" (e.g. against the people of Ukraine) you find constant examples of Christian "terror" in the press of countries like Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and I'm sure dozens of other countries. In Palestina the situation is exceptionally bad, with the currently worst example being that the evening news quite seriously reported Israeli Jews eating Palestinian toddlers for dinner after having the IDF surround a school.

So assuming all this propaganda has at least some people convinced it is quite obvious what the results of attacks are : indiscriminate random "revenge" massacres.

To be fair, in some cases it's not propaganda. For instance Russia's conduct against muslims in the caucasus is rather harsh, though of course not as harsh as reported on forums on the internet. Whether it justifies things like Beslan and the Moskou metro attacks ... well by western standards it wouldn't of course.

But that's the whole point of different religions. Different moral standards. Justice, in the vast majority of religions, means revenge. From an eye to an eye, to blood money, to stoning. This is hard to grasp if you're 10000 km from the nearest country where a different religion rules, but it's a plain and obvious normal fact of daily life of several billion human beings.

The problems this woman will face, are simple. That phrase "God, elimiate the infidels and defeat them all" is part of a basic islamic prayer. Removing something like that would be as invasive as asking Christians to remove the "our father" prayer. It's not going to happen.
