I had a few Avalon Hill games when I was growing up, but none of my friends wanted to play them, and I was terrible at finding new friends.

So I read the rulebooks for Panzer Blitz and various other WWII games. That might have been more fun than playing the games :-)
Interesting. Would love to hear more about your thoughts around this.
The first AH game I got was Luftwaffe. And at the time I thought Monopoly was a time sink...
My issue isn't with the topic. It's with the psuedo-science masquerading as medical advice, and with the poster who is wantonly throwing out unsubstantiated advice for taking compounds that he almost certainly knows nothing about-- except where to buy them... his fantastic affiliate site!
The earlier Washington Post article https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/08/2... mentions a fairly large list of investigations and lawsuits. Yes there is some political pressure on for-profit colleges, education always has some politics involved, but this long list of investigations and the seriousness of the allegations paints a picture of a company that has utterly failed to meet regulations and likely has massive financial improprieties. Most companies with regulatory issues, even fairly major ones will settle the multiple lawsuits and then put in place controls.

Obviously, because real DOM is (1) slow and prone to hard-to-predict reflows, (2) non-transactional, and (3) not going to change, due to backwards compatibility.

Thus the need to operate on a fast, cheap virtual DOM, and then apply the smallest sufficient change to the real DOM the users see.
The used synthetic benchmark is not a great indicator of performance in most (any?) production environments. It's generally useful and interesting to understand the tradeoffs between an LSM and B-Tree. Particularly, if you have an update or delete heavy workload the compaction cost of an LSM can become an issue. B-Tree's don't suffer from compaction issues, so in some sense trade consistently slower writes instead of amortizing out an I/O intensive compaction.

Some of the worst production experiences I've had came from exhausting I/O on the database, and then having LevelDB / RocksDB / LSM stores kick off their compaction. B-Tree will give you a very consistent redline in terms of performance generally.

TL;DR: There are trade offs between the two, but this benchmark is not particularly insightful given that it doesn't really test any of the interesting boundary conditions or real world query patterns.
>Even wargamers would be hard pressed to name more than a few AH computer products, and nothing ever came close to impacting the general public like SimCity or Quake.

I think he is selling Avalon Hill a little short. As a gamer in the 80s I remember Avalon Hill very fondly. This was especially true in the early 80s when games were few and far between. I spent many hours tediously loading B-1 Nuclear Bomber on my tape cassette drive. They certainly never had a huge impact on the general public like SimCity but they were very well-appreciated and well-regarded in the Gaming community. To this day I still occasionally load up Guderian on the emulator, which remains an extremely challenging game even given the limits of AI in 1986.

I wouldn't, but I know a number of people who do. Or, people who have a toilet, but don't use it because they park off-the-grid for long periods of time. It's do-able.

When I've wanted to live in cities without a nearby RV park, I have been known to use a gym for shower/toilet (when I was moving around a lot more often than I do now, I had an all-club membership at 24 Hour Fitness; Planet Fitness is a better deal now, but they have a lot fewer clubs), so I could extend my time between driving to a dump station.
If Cooltalk is the same thing I'm thinking about, it took about five minutes to start and absolutely crushed the average PC. Netscape dropped it after a couple point releases. It was Java-based but might have been Windows-only.

"universities haven’t met student-generated demand with a commensurate supply of full-time, tenure-track faculty"

This reverses the normal definitions of 'supply' and 'demand' to make a weak point. Universities are the buyers, i.e. they have demand for faculty. The PhD graduates are the suppliers (of their labour), i.e. they can compete to fulfill that demand.

So to say universities have a responsibility to hire people, just because those people want/need jobs, goes against how we normally think about the way the world works.

No one owes me a job.

EDIT: zasz is correct. I read that quotation out of context, and as a result my comment doesn't address the point. I still disagree with the assertion, but for a different reason. Undergraduate students don't demand 'full-time' or 'tenure-track' faculty. Those aspects don't directly affect how well they are taught, or the value of the credentials they gain.
When it comes down to it, journalists should never write articles about single health studies. In essence, none of them are valuable sources of information for the general public. Without replication and meta-analyses, they really should only get attention from the scientific community.
Exercise. Seems like a lame answer but helps me. Doesn't have to be obsessive to work wonders - a bit done regularly goes a long way.
No one designs for mid-air collisions.
Mid-air collisions are almost vanishingly rare outside of the airport traffic pattern. If flying cars became popular, they would increase, but still, it's a very, very large sky.

Cirrus (and some homebuilts) have the BRS airframe parachute system. Quick checking the Cirrus record, it seems like 3 Cirri have had mid-air collisions; in 2 of those, the occupants were saved by the BRS system; in the other, all aboard the Cirrus perished.

Aircraft crashworthiness is predicated on surviving an under-control arrival with terra firma, possibly after an engine failure. That is the source of the restriction on stall speed in the landing configuration of single-engine airplanes of 61 knots (~70 mph) or in the case of LSAs 45 knots (~52 mph). Shoulder belts are one of the most important factors for survivable aircraft accidents. There's a somewhat common saying, "Aircraft that crash upright and under control have survivors on board." The vast majority of aircraft crashes have zero fatalities (typically over 80% are non-fatal).
Best Practices on Android App Security
This is a very long winded article that takes pages to get to the point (the part you quoted). The next sentences ought also to be quoted:

> Instead, we’ve rendered the majority of faculty contingent, increased administrators and administrative staff by 85 and 240 percent, respectively, over the past 40 years, and created a massive holding pen of temporary postdoctoral positions in STEM. If we look outside of academia for good measure, we see similar evidence of increased dependency on contingent labor, decades of stagnant wages, and no increase in leisure time to accompany increases in economic productivity. In this light it becomes harder to claim that PhD students are especially irrational or shortsighted, since so much of the broader US workforce is facing similar problems.

I don't own Track My Stack, or any other site. As for science vs. pseudoscience, if you look into the supplements and nootropics mentioned, then maybe you'll find anecdotes and clinical studies that clarify what they do, how they work, how well they work, and how likely they are to work.

What exactly (of what I mentioned above) do you consider pseudoscience? It seems you just like throwing out (as is common with many on this site) "cliche" terms and using them to feel almighty and important. Perhaps you can do as you imply wasn't done (to arrive at what was said above), and provide some evidence or data to back up the accusations you are pointing in my direction.

This is my main problem with sites dominated primarily by Te users (INTJs, ISTJs, ENTJs, and ESTJs): stupid, ignorant, judgmental, and dismissive is often put into play with the belief it's actually astute insight or perceptiveness.

In the future, it would be better if you know (and provide support for) what you're talking about, rather than just throwing out blind blanket BS accusations.

Nonsense. Automation was the same 12 months, and largely the same 10 years ago.

This is a classic problem.

You have a situation where the quality of the thing (in this case teaching) isn't easily known ahead of time, so the success of the organization isn't dependent on the quality of teaching, but instead is dependent on the quality of marketing (roughly).

So now you have a bunch of organizations with limited resources competing in the same space, and we'd like it if the organizations who provided the best education were winning. And providing a good education isn't opposed to also having good marketing, in principle.

The problem is that the organizations that try to be good at both teaching and marketing are competing against organizations that are trying to ONLY be good at marketing. The marketing organization will tend to win over time because it's easier to be good at one instead of being good at both, and the organizations that are just good at teaching die because they are bad at marketing.

tldr; Teaching is hard. Marketing is hard. Both at the same time is hard squared.
I had one friend who played consistently. We mostly played Tobruk because it had short scenarios that didn't require you to re-enact the entire desert war in one go.

I think it's hard to lump them all into one bucket. One still needs to be quite ambitious and have a good CV going into the bootcamp, but I've seen people come out of these programs that have landed good job. Are they the world's best coders, no but they know enough to join a team and add value.
Perhaps the most tortured and obscure opening paragraph I've ever read in a newspaper:

Guided not just by the hands of operator Tom Crossmon, but also by the past efforts of an extended network of divers and the collective memory of a community, the remotely-operated vehicle descended into the depths of Lake Superior.
Besides the financial issues that these companies created, the main issue is the quality of teachers.

There are so so many of these colleges that the pool of quality teachers are almost all going to be in universities.

I took a business course for a year and all of the teachers were at most middle managers, marketing managers, or long retired company-men from IBM or other big corps.

They all just read off of powerpoint slides and rarely provided any valuable insight on their own, by design.

Mostly just a sea of mediocrity by people who were well intentioned but never made it far in industry so they got an easy job that's likely personally rewarding but not exceptionally valuable to the students vs reading a few books or any level of experience on the job.

And besides 50% of my class was Chinese kids who paid 5x as much as me in tuition to be there and had a poor grasp of English. These kids were the real target market. So quality wasn't necessarily the goal. Just filling seats and offices.
A PhD is a great way to immigrate and this drives down PhD stipends.

I've found that a large percentage of people get annoyed when you ask them, "why?".

I don't mean to be harsh, but this is the only way I can describe it: I think it's because they actually don't have well thought out reasons for lots of the things they do, and they don't want that exposed because it could weaken their already shaky worldview because then they'd be standing on shifting sand, not a stable bedrock of unquestioned ideas.

So they just continue accumulating possessions like the happy people in the movies do, ignoring the mounting evidence that these things haven't made them happy in the past, but just one more possession, maybe that'll be the one before I happily drive off into the sunset with the end credits rolling.

Maybe I'm rambling, but I struggle to understand why some people keep doing the same things and expecting a different outcome, and asking them "why?" rarely seems to elicit a well thought out answer. The answer in the end just seems to come down to, "because that's what I do".

Some people are not introspective. As an introspective person myself, I always attempt to understand why I do what I do, admittedly that can be draining at times and doesn't always come up with meaningful answers, but I'd personally prefer to at least attempt than to wander around in wilful ignorance.
Great. Now how will I learn TV/VCR repair?

I mean, that was also my experience with my degree from a major university.

I told them I wanted to be a computer programmer, they said "Oh, you want a Computer Science major, then." I didn't realize until after graduating that I'd learned about electrical engineering and processor architecture and compiler design and lots and lots of math, but almost no actual, y'know, computer programming. Pretty much had to start from scratch to make an actual career.
App Academy charges its tuition as a proportion of first year salary.
This is why I and most of my team work from home on Fridays (we never book meetings either). It's tempting to dismiss working from home as a way of skipping on work, but there's no other time I can get 4+ contiguous hours in front of my computer with no interruptions or meetings. It's probably my most productive dev time all week, largely because I can plan for it. I frequently and vocally encourage work from home on Fridays to become a standard (but optional) "perk" in tech.

Do they really provide nothing resembling education? I once had a friend of a friend ask me for some CSS help for some assignment, later I found out it was for some University of Phoenix course. Ideally the instructor would have taught the principles of CSS so that my assistance wasn't needed, but instructors not teaching the fundamentals and letting students figure it out somehow (or muddling through without ever learning) is par for the course at most colleges. Presumably these schools have lectures, assignments, projects? What explains the gap seen by companies on the other side apart from letting students graduate without actually having learned anything? And does this really only apply to these sorts of private schools?

The quality of education varies between institutions. I graduated from DeVry a little over 10 years ago. I got a decent education (ABET accredited B.S. Computer Engineering Technology) and was able to put myself through school and get a good job. I could have done it a little cheaper in a state school and a lot cheaper with a community college, but for what it was I don't really have any regrets.

My only critique is that they accept ANYONE. This leads to a large number of dropouts. You have people that haven't been able to grasp basic algebra and they bust their butts learning basic math and then hit Cal I, Cal II, Signal Processing, etc and they just can't hack it. By the time they flunk out they've wracked up tens of thousands in student loan debt.

We lost something like 60-80% of the students we started with in the first 2 years.

That seems immoral on the face of it to take advantage of those people, but at the same time this happens (albeit to a much lesser degree) in all schools, and I was grateful for the opportunity DeVry extended to me as a student with terrible grades in highschool.

I worked for a while at a culinary school in New York. The students got a fairly intensive prep for work in a commercial kitchen. They got what they were paying for, but it was expensive, so whether it was really 'worth it' was debatable, in terms of payoff jobwise.
I'm talking about economic scarcity. In economics, scarcity does not mean you don't have enough of something to fulfill some particular purpose. It means you have to make trade-offs. If I spend my day chopping wood, I can't spend my day cutting grass. Our time is fundamentally scarce. If I use a gallon of gas to drive to the store, I can't use that gallon of gas to light a huge fire. If we're using farmland and labor and capital resources to grow marijuana, we're not using that farmland and that labor and those capital resources to create other goods and services for people to consume. Does that make sense?
Simplest explanation: Take a 100 mph airplane and fly 100 miles in 25 mph winds, then fly 100 miles back.

You'll fly upwind for 80 minutes at 75 mph groundspeed and downwind for 48 minutes at 125 mph groundspeed. Your overall average speed will be 93.75 mph.

Additional factor: even a "pure" crosswind will turn partially into a headwind, as you need to crab (angle the nose) into the wind to make your desired ground track, meaning your downrange distance becomes the cosine of the crab angle, making (1 - cosine[angle]) * airspeed the effective/induced headwind.
