There is considerable evidence showing this is more or less true. "Intrinsically unschoolable" is a strong and incorrect statement, but "less schoolable" yields similar conclusions and is well supported by research.

Consider Raj Chetty's work; he shows that the primary determinant of student performance is intrinsic student qualities, but that teachers also matter a fair bit.

Smartphone maps are so superior because they are always up to date, can provide real-time traffic data, can tell you to take an alternative route and can provide other data about places to eat, etc.

While a lot of car GPSs have some of this, they are no where near what Google Maps or Apple Maps (or a targeted app like Waze) has. I bought a new car last year, and intentionally didn't get the GPS, even though my car has a 7-inch touchscreen. I would never use those crappy maps when I have my phone with me. If the car supported Carplay, I would 100% use maps through that.

This is why Carplay and Android Auto are the future. Their apps, APIs and data are so superior to whatever car companies can come up with.
This is the first I had heard of GETs to login pages executing a redirect when the user is already logged in. I wasn't aware that so many did this.

Virtually every application I have built will render a simple response saying "You are already logged in" if you GET the login URL with an active session. As I understand the exploit, if a non-image is returned, the script assumes you are not logged in.

What value is there in redirecting a GET if you're already logged in? You redirect when the login form is submitted as a POST.
Of course they have on-prem versions. A lot of people are content with using cloud services though, so on-prem solutions cost a pretty penny.

15% is a lot of money as I am guessing you make 6 figures based on your job title.

"While I like my coworkers, have good pay and low stress.."

Again, these are very important factors to consider. The 3 things you mentioned is a really nice thing to have going for you in any job.

I am not necessarily telling you what to do but consider this:

- Are you willing to take a chance to work at a "unicorn" for 15% lower pay ?

- Are you willing to take a chance to give up "low stress" and potentially get into a high stress environment ? You don't know that for sure.

- Are you willing to meet new co-workers and find out they may not be as nice/friendly as you current ones ? They could of course be better than the current ones.

- Most important question: Are you at a point in your life where changing a "safer" job is ok ? Are you in that phase "I am too old for this shit" (not trying to stir up age discrimination here but at the age of 35 myself, I do say fck it to lot of things that I did in my 20s)

The answer to these questions can possibly help you decide.

As an owner of the new Mazda3, I actually use the builtin nav more than I do the phone one. It's always there, it's always loaded, always initialized, has better organized UI (canceling routes, adding waypoints, etc. needs way less taps than Sygic/Apple Maps/GMaps do) and shows the upcoming navigation events on the projected HUD.

Unfortunately it also runs less smoothly and it's uglier and RDS traffic info is less reliable than phone one. At least for me the simpler UI and phone battery saving rally outweigh the downsides though.

(I got my nav included with the car, but compared to VAG group which charges 1000EUR+ for nav unit, 400EUR didn't seem to be all that much IMO.)

A protest is an organized expression of dissatisfaction, not anarchy--they're obeying the law as much as everyone else. If I'm inconvenienced, that's fine--there are ways to get around it, and it's a cost I'd gladly pay for the freedom of association and protest.

> Further, would your tune change if the protesters were right-wing?

Absolutely. Conservatives, reactionaries, and fascists have exactly the same rights that I do.

> Would you support their right to block critical infrastructure (not to mention the violence that characterizes so many of these "protests") in defense of what they perceive as their rights?

Critical infrastructure almost always has redundancies, and in case there isn't one (e.g. a protest in front of a hospital), the police should just clear a route with minimum force and no legal actions afterwards. Violence is another issue entirely--if people are being violent in a protest, then stop and arrest them for being violent, not for merely protesting, and leave the other protesters alone.

In some European countries, streets are configured to prevent through traffic. That leaves them quiet for the enjoyment of residents.

The more I think about it, the whole idea of using stimulants if very Icarus-esque. Societal pressures urge us to become productive, the sub-C-level tasks involved with being productive tend to be tedious and despite our natural inclination to be bored out of our minds when performing them, we force ourselves to face them. One way we do this is through the ingestion of stimulants, most notably caffeine and now, amphetamine. Staytner's ex-artist patients who have sold out for "productivity" seem to embody this ideology to the greatest extent.

Probably because that would be a legal nightmare. You'd have to get approval from all the companies that made the systems you're emulating and the companies that made those games (sometimes they're the same company). And I doubt they'd be interested in supporting a system that will eat into their own sales.
"A. The Additional Grant of Patent Rights in Unnecessary."

This is legally incorrect.

". But I’ve never heard any lawyer postulate that that document does not grant a license to fully exploit the licensed software under all of the licensor’s intellectual property. Anyone who pushes that view is thinking too hard."

Nobody has pushed this view.

However, the author seems to miss that such rights are likely not sublicensable, because they are implied, and implied rights are pretty much never sublicensable.

That is, i may have gotten the rights. That does not mean i can give someone else the same rights.

Now, there are other possible principles, such as exhaustion, that may take care of this (it's a grey area)

But it's definitely not the case that implied patent rights are somehow going to be better than an explicit grant.

They are for people using software.
They are not for people distributing software.

A nice little dash. Surprisingly, I found the most valuable part of it is honestly just splitting stdout/stderr, as the rest of the data is relatively easy to access (except event loop lag, but there are packages like toobusy[https://www.npmjs.com/package/toobusy-js] to help with this).

It doesn't work in combination with nodemon or babel-watch (yet), but the code looks very clean & simple so I assume it'll be an easy update.

If you're looking for more granular reporting & monitoring I can heartily recommend pm2's web dashes [https://github.com/Unitech/pm2]. There are also terminal dashes around like pm2-gui [https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2-gui].

I'm secretly hoping that f-strings make it into pypy 3.5... it's just a teensy little bit of syntax, right? Right...?
Every time I read about the original "hackers" of the modern computer era, it seems many were much more focused on refining their code, or "bumming" lines of code, into the smallest form possible due to the technological limitations of the time. It's not super surprising many developers aren't as conscientious about bloating software because computers have gotten fast enough to mask a lot of performance issues. Still, I think those who strive for less code show maturity as a developer. For one, you can't remove lots of code if you don't truly know how the code works, and furthermore, that process is a good way to learn how it does.

A Discrete and Bounded Envy-Free Cake Cutting Protocol for Any Number of Agents
Not without aviation charts, which the article does mention were in short supply back in the early days of aviation. That, and I'm willing to bet that the licensing for pilots less than twenty years after the Wrights took off at Kitty Hawk was less than rigorous. So assuming that a licensed pilot, if such a thing even existed, was well-versed in navigation via charts and a compass was likely wrong.
Giving people money does not tend to resolve those issues

Didn't the study in this article hint at the exact opposite though?
This sort of license is definitely open source (and common, in fact), it's just not gpl2 compatible, which is the current reason most licenses avoid it

Basically: Any attempt to terminate both copyright and patent rights will be gplv2 incompatible
Attempts to terminate patent rights, written in the right way, will be compatible.
Could you offer an explanation of what you mean by "sub-linguistic persuasion"? Honestly curious what you mean by this.
UTF-16, and non-BMP planes, were devised in 1996. The author seems to have been 5 years late to the party.

> The current permutation of Unicode gives a theoretical maximum of approximately 65,000 characters

No, UTF-16 enables a maximum of 2,097,152 characters (2^21).

> Clearly, 32 bits (4 octets) would have been more than adequate if they were a contiguous block. Indeed, "18 bits wide" (262,144 variations) would be enough to address the world’s characters if a contiguous block.

UTF-16 provides 21 bits, 3 more than the author wants.

Except they're not “in a contiguous block”:

> But two separate 16 bit blocks do not solve the problem at all.

The author doesn't explain why having multiple blocks is a problem. This works just fine, and has enabled Unicode to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of extra characters the author said it ought to.

Though maybe there's a hint in this later comment:

> One can easily formulate new standards using 4 octet blocks (ad infinitum) – but piggybacking them on top of Unicode 3.1 simply exacerbates the complexity of font mapping, as Unicode 3.1 has increased the complexity of UCS-2.

They would have preferred if backwards-compatibility had been broken and everyone switched to a new format that's like UTF-32/UCS-4, but not called Unicode, I guess?
Reading the comments I appear to be the exception. I lease a 2015 BMW 4-series which I added "Professional Media" to and the nav works really well. I've driven plenty of other cars where the nav is useless, but not all are bad.

Reasons to use it over my phone:

* 11" screen shows me a high quality map overlayed with current traffic, with 1/3 split for lane guidance when needed

* Directions also shown directly on the dash - no need to look far away

* Spoken instructions dim the music volume

* Pretty accurate traffic information with automatic OTA updates

Downsides:

* Voice control is shitty; saying "set destination to leamington spa" will change to a random radio frequency

* Slightly awkward to send routes from PC to car, has to be via Remote Control App

One of my projects started something like OP's project did - a small gig, replacing a complex Excel with a simple software. The Excel was a way more complex than I initially thought - business processes usually are, so take that into account if you offer a flat fee. Despite the flat fee for the initial project, I managed to do the replacement. After that the project grew and grew, and become fundamental part of their business - basically their ERP - and I ended up working on it for over 3 years. It was good money, but a bit boring in the end.

I recommend that you set market rate as your base (target) rate. Ask around what the market rate is in your area, but it is likely more than $50/hour for short gigs like this. However offer them a significant discount, for example 50%, for the first X0 hours - and say that you offer it because this is your first project and it's win win for both parties, but you don't want to work with that rate forever.

If the project grows in importance, and you get a lot more work from them, it is easier to negotiate new hourly price, when they don't expect that your standard rate is the discounted rate.

The same reason Google has BSD + additional rights grants (though not as restrictive):

We deliberately want people to not be able to sue us for patent infringement without us being able to defend ourselves.

One can argue that facebook's method may be harsher than necessary (our rights grant is pretty much a copy of apache's 2), but i think people do not realize how often google/facebook/etc is getting sued for patent infringement.

Given how popular the software is, it deters people who are not NPE's.
I disagree. They're a warning and an error message, and should go to stderr.

It may _also_ be useful to show them on the terminal, in case the user would like to see them now, and has redirected stderr somewhere other than the terminal. In that case a program might show them on /dev/tty as well.
