You've described a system in which gifted and less gifted students are taught together with the express goal being for the gifted students to "raise up" their less gifted peers. If I've mistaken you and you did not suggest that, please accept my deepest apologies for the mistake.

You're absolutely right that every student is a unique individual. You want to teach students individually. One of the drawbacks of this is that the gifted will not reliably be positioned to raise up their less gifted peers, as divergence in individual instruction compounds over time.

I've seen schools that offer advanced opportunities based on academic or athletic criteria. In practice, they tend to look like gifted students in AP or IB courses and their less gifted peers in other courses. You don't need separate schools to get de facto segregation - all it takes is a series of advanced opportunities on offer.

With all this in mind, how do you propose to offer gifted students opportunities and material equal to their abilities while keeping them available and relevant to help raise up their less gifted classmates?

US manufacturers have the benefit of a large domestic law enforcement and civilian market for small arms, but also have to contend with relatively stringent export controls on weapons.

Germany is the opposite. Small domestic LE/military market, minimal to non-existent civilian market, but they'll export to anyone who can pay.
True point (disclaimer: don't know how mysql has evolved in the past 5 years).

Fits with my general feeling of "if you want to optimize for a super specific use case, sometimes mysql can provide some cool tricks for that use case that can be amazing" but if you want a more general solution if you need more flexibility or don't have the knowledge or don't know your future needs, postgres shines.
If you're not taking risks you're wasting time, simple as that. I'm always on the look out for roads less traveled, chances to put my experience to the best collective use possible. Not very profitable so far, but I still prefer it to being yet another answering machine.

So full disclosure: I just started YC and we are only about 3 weeks into the program out of 12 weeks. So.... What I am about to say is without the full picture, but here's what I can say so far.

It's not too different than before :P. YC is very very hands off. I went to a pretty large public university and it sort of feels like that. There's a bunch of really awesome people, but there won't ever be anyone to hold your hand to make sure don't jump off a cliff. You or I need to seek out the right people and make sure to connect to those that would be best suited to help the business!

So, with all of that being said, I guess what I can say is that the experiences of being a solo founder are pretty identical to the experiences of being a solo founder in YC.

I'll elaborate more about some of the challenges I went through and some that I still do go through! But if I have bored you by now you can stop here hah.

I think as a solo founder you just go through different set of struggles, some easier and some more difficult than having multiple cofounders. At the end of the day we always just make the most out of our situation regardless of what that is (ie. don't force yourself to have cofounders or not have cofounders if the stars aren't aligned). To give you an idea of some of the struggles... I worked completely alone in my mom's garage for almost 2 years! I had a remote offshore team helping out with some of the work as we grew, but for a long long time it was just me. I actually hired my first in-house employee 2 weeks ago and he's been super awesome so far--what a game changer!

Anyways, going through this path was the first for a lot of things for me. I made a ton of mistakes that sometimes I wished I could've just bounced ideas off of someone else with from time to time. It was the first time I had ever programmed, so even getting my development setup took way longer than it should have, trying to market, sell a product, price a product, set up HR, design, legal, omg I am getting overwhelmed just thinking about at all of the stuff that I learned. But anyways, it was super rough at times just not knowing.... and having conversations with myself about whether or not I am making the right decisions. But the caveat to all of this was that I learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time and I made really quick decisions without ever feeling paralyzed by discussion. A lot of the time I made the wrong choice, but I learned! And for that... I am super grateful :)
Even if its a fake post, its brings up some useful points. What you see in places where money and what you have are everything is a loss of community. For me, when I've talked stupid about hurting myself when I was having a bad time I was fortunate coming into technology via punk rock and alternative culture to have genuine friends around to talk to. Often work won't allow for therapy, the moment a manager finds out you suffer from depression you're out hard and fast. There's a huge stigma attached to depression, but ultimately each human has a certain level of stress they can take before they break.
> Gifted students can help raise up their less gifted classmates. If these gifted students are to be the next generation of leaders this is an invaluable skill.

And

> I agree that gifted students have needs and those should be addressed but I don't think a separate school is the solution. Even AP classes feel like a problem to me because the most gifted students are not available to help those that struggle.

Please, tell me if I'm mistaken. It sounds to me that you want to place gifted and less gifted students together, with the goal being to encourage and advance peer instruction of the less gifted by their gifted peers.
That's the one. Thanks for digging it up.
It would be cool to get this all available via bittorrent. The data could be split up into reasonable sized chunks, and everyone could store a little, and everyone would still have immediate access to the whole thing.
Exposing a c function from an objective-c file, and then calling into our swift code from there is what we've been doing since before this feature was enabled. That of course also requires the Objective C runtime, but we haven't changed to @_cdecl mainly because I'm more worried about the behavior changing than I am about anyone trying to run our swift code on Linux.

Assigning a block to a c function pointer is an interesting alternative, I thought we tried something like that but I can't remember now.

Hopefully @_cdecl will become a documented and supported feature.
Just to be clear, this is very sad.

I was just asking who the person was since I am not familiar with his work.

After over a hundred years of iteration on the semiautomatic combat pistol, the top tier offerings from the respected manufacturers are all equivalent and fit for purpose. They pass the stress tests. The various pistols I've owned from Sig, CZ, Walther have all gotten up into the low thousands of rounds with zero malfunctions. Boring!

The only interesting development has been the convergence of all the major players on the Glock-style striker fired system, due mainly I think to the consistent first-round trigger pull which is a big deal for practical shooting, and a cultural shift towards accepting the... shall we say, less idiot-proof design. Although, everyone except Glock seems to agree that it's a bad idea to require a trigger pull as part of the takedown procedure.

e: And the "low thousands" is because I got tired of spending so much money on ammo
Yeah, but the way a typical city PD discharges firearms makes the Mujahadeen look like professionals. The armed forces are much better at things like not having negligent discharges and, shooting what they're aiming for and finding a reason to shoot before opening fire. The police might not be able to handle a gun without five redundant safeties but a 18yo in a combat situation with a few months of training and an incentive to do their job seems to manage just fine.

I think it's a pretty important concept for people to keep in mind that if you're not verifying your guesses with experimentation, you're fundamentally not doing science.

I think it's fair to assume many if not most students enter medical school with a sincere desire to help. Will that sentiment survive 6+ years of highly stressful education, though?

In my opinion, technology will help reduce the cognitive load sustained by doctors, driving error rates down and simplifying medical education, allowing the professional to focus more on the relationship with the patient.

Many specialized guidelines contain actual algorithms: objective and subjective signals to look for, their interpretation and evidence-based recommendations based on them. In one instance in my education, this manifested in the form of giant lookup tables. I was expected to memorize them and keep doing it again and again when they inevitably change in a few years. To me it was like trying to memorize a highly dynamic version of the periodic table of elements.

One look at it and I knew a computer could fully implement its logic yet my classmates think I'm crazy for even suggesting it. I say let the computer remember that stuff. It won't replace all of medicine, certainly won't substitute for a proper understanding of the disease... But the act of mapping objective data to evidence-based conduct should really have been abstracted away long ago. The electronic medical records system should bring up these guidelines the moment the physician types the data in. If the doctor types in anthropometric data like BMI and other relevant measurements and they indicate obesity, the system should be able to suggest a proper conduct.

Unless they're used in emergency situations where time is essential, doctors shouldn't have to memorize magic numbers much less entire tables of them. With one less thing to cram, maybe school wouldn't be so stressful, doctors would make less mistakes and would also make more time for actually caring about the patient.
Interesting to see this on HN. I know there has never been any love for the M9 from it's inception, so this is long overdue. Having a .357 option is going to be really popular I'd imagine.
Rockchip has reputation for not following through with drivers for their ARM SoCs. I wonder if this will suffer the same fate or if perhaps ASUS will pick up the ball.
From reading what you wrote, what I think you are talking about is statement caching where it can cache the "how do I run this" but still has to read each row (or indexed row) from the buffer cache.

The mysql query cache actually caches the results of the query, see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/query-cache.html so it doesn't even need to look at the rows at all.

SQL Server may have a similar thing now, I'm not up to date on it, but wanted to call out the distinction based on how you described it.

No question, SQL Server has a lot of awesome qualities for the right use case and has come a long long way since the Sybase days.
Of course they did. It was said to remove corruption, stop black money and stop terrorism. Just emotional non sense and fake hopes. It shut a lot of people's mouths as they labelled the opposers as anti national. There was a lot of online abuse to netizens as well. Still is.

They efficiently managed to pull off this massive failure without widespread anger.

Words can do a lot of damage than weapons. Gandhi used it for uniting people into a good cause and this guy uses it for his own fantasies.

I'm glad the veil is coming off though. People are disgruntled that it's just talk and no work.
This book is almost a thousand pages long so I haven't done an exhaustive search but based on a random sampling... none. The first page I stumbled on was the "Experimental Chemistry" intro (page 110) and, after a paragraph on the virtues of buying stoppered beakers custom engraved with chemical symbols, it listed asbestos as the first piece of equipment. I'm going to (safely) assume that a book written before we knew about carcinogens or sharpies probably doesn't contain designs that would meet modern FCC electromagnetic interference standards. Hell, a significant portion of the things described in this book would be grounds for OSHA penalties and class action lawsuits if carried out in a work place.

On a side note: oh, how times have changed: (pg 942)

_imho_ it is pretty cool, specifically because, writing circuits as code would make the whole thing _composable_ not unlike functions in programming languages.

canonical pcb design e.g. in KiCAD happens in a couple discrete steps:

- draw the schematic

- assign footprints to symbolic parts and

- place them

now, the netlists is what ties all these phases together. an ability to generate this connectivity list programmatically is very useful (imho).

for example a filter circuit generator could take f.e. order, cutoff and type as filter inputs and give you a correct netlist. for your next design, when you need a different filter, changing couple of parameters should be all that is required !

i _suspect_ that we have become inured to seeing circuit diagram as a means (or crutch) of thinking about them.

designing stuff with this should be akin to sketching out block-diagrams where each block is bit of python code that generates the circuit module...
I do believe this focus on billions of $ is extremely weird. You can live a very very nice life on a few million $. And that in itself is a weird and skewed statement of what people consider nice. There are 1000s of places all over the world with fantastic living conditions in climate, health, healthcare, pensions etc you can grow old with a few 100k. The unicorn or bust idea is very strange as the chances you will make that are very close to 0; putting everything in it instead of building a solid business and 'we will see what happens' is rather alien to me. Having a long term profitable company is far far easier than a multi million or billion payout. People who need fast cars and million$ mansions should know what risk they are taking and explain that to their family when taking them.
they probably disagree

>> Nutrition, medicine, psychology are beset by empiricism: trying to find facts without having theories to support them.

Really? Seems to me there are a ton of theories but precious few facts.

Atkins, low carb, high carb, gluten free, etc. Theories everywhere. But science simply cannot tell us what foods to eat and what to avoid. It's very frustrating to me how limited our knowledge of the human body is.
I would say the same thing. Do you think you will really convince a climate denier with this data that you copied off of the Internet that, was copied from a gov server, on to another server and then torrented and copied to another server and then downloaded onto you PC... doubt it.
Of course and I think having those mirrors is a good thing, stuff disappears from the internet all the time. But that is not the question I am asking. We could have started mirroring climate data and all kinds of other data last year or five years ago, there is always a risk of losing data.

But this has obviously been triggered by the Trump presidency and is focused on climate data which implies that people are now more concerned than before and especially about one specific kind of data. Now I would like to know whether or not this elevated level of concern is justified.

I'd like to discuss a slightly different issue here.

Aren't there already a plethora of peer-reviewed journal articles on the issue of climate change? Why is it still necessary to store the presumably raw data?

Even my high school geography notes have an abundance of information on the issue of climate change (for and against). So I doubt if this is necessary at all.

I appreciate the sarcastic comment, but I don't think you understand the implication of a system like that. Even if you have more data, it doesn't better inform a patient's decision process.

For example, let's say you could--you can't--but let's say you could without a shadow of a doubt predict that the pulmonary nodule in your lung is not a cancer with 98% certainty. Well if you are 40, that's not that good actually.... that means 2 out of 100 people in a very productive time of their lives may have a cancer go completely ignored! So should I tell every patient in my report, "There is a 2% chance that this is malignant, but I won't recommend biopsy because there are chances of complications from that and we can save a lot of money by letting a few slip through the cracks--it will cost the healthcare system too much. Thanks for your understanding."

Remember, statistics predict population outcomes... not individual outcomes. I can tell someone that something very rare might happen.. but guess what, when it happens... the idea that it was a rare possibility doesn't assuage any negative feelings about it.

There is no right answer. Some people are illiterate! Even educated people don't understand statistics... how am I going to quantify that kind of risk/benefit analysis in a way that ensures a patient truly understands the implications. What if that risk were 1%, or what if the patient was 70 years old? Should either of those affect my recommendation? Who am I to decide who should be recommended one thing vs another... it's a value judgement! But if I leave it solely to the patient, a lot of times they will ask me, "What would you do?" Probably the most common thing asked after a long discussion like that. The answer is, "I don't know."

Bottom line: We can do 'strong' recommendations for things that are well studied like breast cancer and pulmonary nodules, but we don't have data to support recommendations in many other areas of everyday practice. A machine learning system would need data that just isn't available yet to make recommendations.

Anyway, I think the decision to search for something "more potent" than 9mm is pointless. There's a real reason we ditched the .45 for 9mm, and there's a lot to be said for smaller, cheaper ammo that everyone in the army can shoot all day without breaking their wrists. 9mm isnt .22, and it's more than enough to stop just about anyone coming at you.

This could explain the vast array of different advice that, often times, seems contradictory.
