School education often has a leveling effect. It helps people below the average to get better and blocks people above average or brings them down by boring them, leading to avoidance of any real effort.
As far as i know most nobel price winners are below IQ 150, because apart from being smart, they learned to work hard and not go through school with minimum effort.

Japan in the 90's must have been awesome, it was like a version of the future from the past.
That option is enabled on most distros by default. Fonts on Ubuntu, elementaryOS, Fedora and other distros look just fine.

I'd you are building your own desktop from building blocks in Arch or similar then configuring obscure options is what you chose to do.
The Linus Pauling Institute has a good page on folate:

I'be recently started eating liver regularly, which is a pretty good source of this vitamin.
I would guess Terry Tao was one of them?
I agree. I feel that for me reading in my native language or English goes as fast as I can see sentence. So I assume my language interpretation for those languages is high and maybe I could speed up by doing fancy things with eye movement.

But I am learning Dutch right now and I have to spend a lot more time to get correct meaning of sentence. So no eye movement technique would help me.
I'm kinda bummed to hear that. I have mentioned how it's done in the Netherlands on several occasions. I thought it had worked - sad it didn't.
If you like the recount of the spanish war in "For whom the bell tolls", read "Homage to catalonia" by George Orwell. It's one of the best books I ever read.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining - but why is this news (again)? 5.9 came out, what, two weeks ago.

On the other hand, who doesn't love OpenBSD news.

So today allow me to point out that since I am a sysadmin at a mostly-Windows shop, I really like how modest OpenBSD's hardware requirements are. If you keep the workload appropriately modest, it can run on 128MB of RAM (probably a lot less, I did not try that hard) on a hard disk that is smaller than Windows' installation DVD and perform useful work. Obviously, the comparison is not without problems, but it comes in handy to explain to people why in some ways I am astonished that you need a dual-core CPU with 8GB of RAM just to run Outlook, Excel and a remote desktop session.
Actually, smart kids usually end up a net loss for classes.
They get bored. so they skip classes, or end up sitting in class bothering everyone else.
They also end up frustrating other kids because "why does it come so easy for X but not for me?"
Bad teachers even use smart kids as examples: "See, you all should be a lot more like smart kid".

A smart kid isn't going to magically become a free tutor for other kids at school. Let teachers focus on educating. Don't shift that responsibility to teenagers who could be advancing significantly in other environments.

Huh, I was not even aware OpenBSD had an LDAP server in the base system. ... Apparently, the Internet tells me just now, they have had it for a while now. Who would have known?

This makes me think of a comment I read around the time of the 5.8 release to the effect that with any other project this would reek of not-invented-here syndrome, except that the OpenBSD people have such a superb track record for getting things right. ;-)
I think you're right that the tension between passive/interactive and storytelling/agency isn't new. But the tension is heightened in VR.

What's new is that filmmakers and game makers are building VR experiences for the same audience and hardware. They're on the same turf. Outside of VR, filmmakers create for TV/cinema, and game makers create for PC/console/mobile.

I think Ken Perlin is suggesting that new discoveries will be made as this collision of worlds happens. The friction you mentioned becomes more visible to a larger number of people with a wider variety of skills and goals.

In first grade was given a bunch of tests and determined I had a "grade 12 reading level" whatever that means. I was sent to one of those so-called child prodigy schools but had no interest in anything they were teaching me. Instead I would disassemble every electronic box in the school and hack around with it. They kicked me out of that school for doing nothing the entire time except taking apart electronics and returned me to the public system. First day, when we received our texts for the year I'd read through the entire text on the weekend and do all the exercises. Then I'd just slack off all year, usually only showing up to do the tests and weekly quizzes while spending the rest of my time hanging out with the other delinquents in my school who never went to class. This worked fine until about Grade 10, when I decided to not even bother reading the textbooks on the first weekend of school anymore and just didn't show up or do any work at all. I was solely interested in hanging out with the crazy STS chatboard goths and IRC hackers I befriended who all partied at this guy's warehouse downtown everyday, which I got away with for about 8 months until one day I forgot to intercept the mail and phone calls from my school and my parents discovered I wasn't even going anymore.

My routine was to get up and walk to school, attend homeroom to show I was actually there then just take off to go downtown to said hacker/drug dealer's warehouse. There was always a ton of people there it was a defacto hackspace and party house. I learned more hanging around those people for a few months than I did all of high school. When my parents gave me an ultimatum I decided to go squat with a bunch of street punks and just hang around the hackerspace all day.

I probably would've been satisfied going to some kind of engineering or compsci program after school if it had existed at the time. I liked hanging out with my friends in high school and was glad I still went to be social but it would've been great if school was only a few hours, and the rest of the day I could have pursued my interests in electrical engineering at a non institutionalized type environment. Hanging with my friends was fun in school between and after classes but everything else about it felt like prison. Somebody you don't elect hands you arbitrary rules to follow and you just end up feeling trapped. I'm sure plenty of other kids don't mind high school for a few hours a day but would much rather spend the bulk of their time learning something else they're actually interested in. I have no idea how this can be accomplished but a full day slogging through half a chapter in a textbook on a subject you have zero passion about isn't it.
Considering most of the rich can move at a moment's notice, aren't you over-estimating their reliance on "low crime healthy consumers"?

There's an entire cottage industry in places like Monaco, Panama or St Kitts & Nevis built on rejecting that thesis.

Additionally, is California with its high income tax rates significantly safer and healthier than states with no such tax, like Washington or Nevada?
I speed read pulp novels, and have for decades. From Doc Savage to Honor Harrington's recent outings, sometimes you just want the the combination of that literary equivalent of zoning out in front of the TV, combined with finding out what happens next.

You're right that speed reading very well done stuff is a waste of time, but for the written equivalent of fast food, it seems to work fine. And if something does turn out to be better than expected, I can always slow down or go back and reread at my normal speed.
All news sites carry a bias - all of them. Often main stream media in the home country wants/has to tow the line and omit details or not carry stories that might upset local authority.

So, to say a story is bunk because it appears in RT as a source demonstrates a wilful ignorance, or incredible naiveté.

I trust/distrust all media sources in equal measure, but the fun thing is that by reading a lot of them at the same time across the globe, you can more easily see the biases, and get to the root of the stories.

I dropped out of high school in my junior year. Predictably, most people remarked that it was a poor decision and that my prospects of employment would be forever decimated.

I skipped ~50% of days in grades 8-10, but somehow passed. I spent those days coding and learning on my own time.

As school got progressively less challenging, I dropped out in grade 11 and decided to stop wasting my time.

Finally, I could pursue my passion in software full-time. That additional time and freedom was instrumental in achieving my dreams. It was almost certainly much more valuable than more wasted years of high school. By the age of 19 I was already earning a very significant sum of money and had years of solid experience.

But who knows? Maybe I missed out on some important friendships or valuable connections. Perhaps my lack of a high school diploma will be an insurmountable barrier in the future.

Although I believe it was the right decision for me (who knows), I don't think it's the right decision for the vast majority of people. You must have discipline and passion. You must be your own boss and have a plan. You should enjoy learning on your own. Treat time as a precious resource.

I am fortunate that my chosen field, software development, generally does not require a diploma or degree. Exceptions exist, but I'm not interested in those jobs. Any other field and my decision could have been disastrous.
Well this is a load of drivel. And all yall are agreeing with it because every single person on this forum considers themselves smart so you like agreeing with people who claim to be smart and know smart people stuff.

"so I took California’s GED test in June, 2012. It was dead easy."

If that's your basis for calling yourself smart then I'm not impressed. I took the GED high as a kite and got a perfect math score (know what's similar about both our statements? we both sound like jerks). The GED isn't a smartness metric, it's a soap bubble test so white people don't get stuck as fry chefs for their whole lives. It's _supposed_ to be easy as long as you understand the questions. Welcome to the upper class nimwit.

"People worry about Google and the instant availability of knowledge making people dumber, because we don’t have to memorize much anymore — Socrates felt the same anxiety when writing and reading were invented."

Your events are off by a few _millenia_.

"contrary to what teachers and school board members might want you to think, getting into college is easy if you’re intelligent and work hard to do interesting things"

False. Just false. I mean, I'm assuming you want to go to a top tier college, not community college. Top tier colleges are for expanding the upper tiers of the gentry class, while community colleges allow entry into the gentry class. To move to the upper tiers of the gentry, you need to have shown that you respect the institution of the gentry, ie. going to high school. Exceptions maybe exist for prodigies or minorities who built a clock once (because that's soooo amazing, who here _didn't_ build shit like that as a kid), but in general skipping high school to learn sewing and greenhaus building is an acceptable path to an Amish lifestyle, not differential equations and the Ivy League.

I thought it was generally acknowledged at this point that school isn't about education? School is about socialization, connections, and a prodding to at least have some depth of knowledge about a general corpus that it's accepted people should know about. No one actually expects you to be able to find x in real life, but everyone is familiar with the concept of finding x. I am an _astrophysicist_ and I use, at maximum, 5% of shit found in my physics texts through the year. _School is not about the shit in the books, that is not the point of school_, you're like an atheist telling a Catholic that Jesus was an asshole because evolution -- it's a valid point but it has nothing to do with the conjecture. School is an indoctrination procedure so we don't schism even further into our already highly segregated class based society, saying that it's a waste of time because class and homework are stupid is a correct statement, but misses the entire point.

Even anarchists believe in school.
Yes, the fact being that there are a few commercial native AOT compilers for Java and all FOSS alternatives for AOT compilation fail to get any community support.
> Because taxing consumption is regressive.

How come? There are entire categories of consumption that open up with significant wealth? Private aviation, yachts, fine arts are all categories with spending heavily concentrated up top - a poor person is unlikely to own a proportional 1/1000th share of a Gulfstream jet or a Picasso.
ahahhaha agreed with you,

Advertising, in any market, is a race to the bottom (to the top, really, in terms of cost). If everyone spends 100% on advertising, only the advertising platforms benefit, not the advertisers themselves.

It would be much better to ban all lobbying, so each candidate would only have a very small amount o fmoney to spend on elections, and people would be less manipulated into voting them.
We rather use sane UI development environments when coding native applications.
Newspaper articles are kind of a special case. They're written so that the editor can easily shorten them for space.
Yoga comes under psychology and spirituality, not religion. it's not related to rituals but introspection within – examining and experiments with your mind (habit patterns, emotions and thoughts). Just like a scientist does with nature externally. Only tools of the trade are different.

You may wish to read yoga sutras on swamij.com to see for yourself the profound insights of mind and its working expounded by the author Patanjali.

For instance, Yoga sutras starts with:The goal of Yoga is to regulate the modifications (tendencies) of mind,So the seer rests in its true nature.

The true nature of our consciousness (the seer) is existence-knowledge-bliss.

Hating someone or a group/race of beings is just a negative tendancy which has been adopted, often unconsciously, due to certain experiences in life. With stillness of meditation you can invite such thoughts witness them and remove clinging of mind toward them [0]. All methodologically.

Along similar lines, one of the main causes of the massive expansion of the federal government in the 20th century is that the US Senate was originally designed to be a check on federal power -- Senators were originally elected by the state legislatures.

Then the 17th Amendment changed Senators to be elected by popular vote and the states lost their voice in the federal government.

No. Skimming is when you reading linearly and then decide "OK, I can probably skip this paragraph". Speed reading is the way to read in parallel, without ever tracking sentences word by word.

Top three takeaways for me: event-based logic, sets instead of loops, and using past tense instead of state. Events and linq-like queries are popular enough, that last one is interesting.

Especially in an environment where you mostly interact with objects via events, I think querying an object's past sounds pretty doable. Naively we could hold on to all events ever and query for one that matches what we're talking about. Less stupidly, these past tenses are usually in forms like "if this happened recently" or "if this happened ever" which a compiler could rewrite into a variable that the relevant event sets.

So, the compiler sees "if Pacman ate a power pellet within the last ten seconds" in whatever syntax it accepts. It goes to Pacman's "eat power pellet" function and appends code to set Pacman's last-power-pellet-eaten variable, which it has to introduce. The original conditional gets rewritten in terms of timestamp comparison.
I tried speed reading on a book I've read multiple tea that I enjoy. It doesn't last long - the world falls away and I read at the pace that felt natural as I enjoyed the book once again.

I agree that it's a bit daft speed reading good works but, if you enjoy reading fiction, you'll find it difficult - you just want to enjoy it.
This is awesome, thanks for the link, and especially for the summary!
> Honestly, no. It's essential that law makers can be informed by all interested parties.

Except lobbying does the opposite of that. It means only the wealthy parties are heard.
>but we aren't at a fundamentally different place politically than we were in, say 1896

I really don't think you should say that like it's a good thing.

It's like saying "American is less corrupt than North Korea!" . That's not saying much.
Cool. Wanna take some equity off of T. Rowe's hands at the previous valuation?
Those who are wealthy are generally not high-income (at least they can heavily tweak their income by using asset-backed loans and accrue capital gains only when it's beneficial).

Those who are high income in California are generally not wealthy (as opposed to everyone's favorite high income poster boy - the NY hedge fund manager), but are subjects to windfall effect - a few years of work at below market wages in hopes for a giant payback (royalties in Hollywood, stock options of a successful tech startup in the Valley).
And in C++ you would write this as follows (with a range library it would be a one-liner):

const auto & xs = {1, 2, 3};
cout << accumulate(begin(xs), end(xs), 0);
Thoughts on query rewriters
Query rewriters for databases are usually written using visitor pattern where each rewrite will visit each operator node in the query tree. Is there an alternative approach which is simpler.
Fiction is not detached from reality. Authors who write fiction base it on their experiences, studies, believes. Grounded in, taken from and influenced by bigger forces of religion, social decorums, culture. Amplified to an unrealistic dimension. Lots of advances in science and push towards technology can be attributed to fiction that recent generations have consumed. So although fiction cannot be authoritative, I am uncertain that it would be wrong to draw inferences from it
Is California doing a better job at protecting its citizens than income tax free states like Washington or Nevada?
>I don't get why anybody would want to speed read a novel.

Because most people don't understand that novels are for ideas, language and descriptions, as opposed to plot.

Except if we're talking about Grisham/Crichton/Dan Brown etc "novels".
