I believe the curriculum has always been based on the ideal of the "well-rounded citizen" aka a liberal arts education. That includes the sciences, math, philosophy, government, history, languages, art, and sports.

None of those subjects are particularly relevant for factory work. Even at the height of manufacturing, high schools were geared towards universities – because 10 is not the age where you want to make the decision that someone has or doesn't have the potential to be a judge/chemist/artist.

Calls to more closely align education with the perceived needs of the future economy seems misguided:

- You don't actually know what will be needed 15 to 20 years in advance (including the time it takes to develop a curriculum and teach teachers)

- It reduces citizens to their role in the economy

- It doesn't work. History is at least somewhat exciting. Teaching the filing of tax returns (a staple of such discussions) is completely removed from a 16-years reality. When it becomes relevant after college, it will be completely forgotten and possibly obsolete.

The current system is very much geared towards teaching modes of thinking, learning and similar meta-skills. History and philosophy, for example, are possibly the most important to understand current affair (but have often been decimated by a drive towards the sciences). Throw in a bit of statistics and you'll also have a good foundation for entrepreneurs.
The one thing I'd love to see, as a vim user and a scientist, is something like Matlab/RStudio/Spyder where you can explore variables that exist within a session. Maybe it could hook up to an ipython session and you could display it in a separate terminal and send commands with vim-slime to be updated in real time.

For the most part, when I need this, I revert to Rodeo (since it has vim bindings like RStudio's), but if I could ditch it that would be amazing. Nothing against Rodeo or other editors, but vim habits are hard to break.

Banning something is a good way to prevent such studies from ever happening.

As an Australian who has been living abroad for the better half of a decade, I've noticed ever increasing prices and ever restrictive policies every time I've been back.

Being a very occasional social smoker who should probably quit anyway it hasn't bothered me, but I did find it just a bit ludicrous when I tried to buy a pack at Safeway. The exchange went something like this:

me: Give me a pack of Peter Stuyvesants, ah, um, I think the light ones in the blue colored pack.
staff: They don't have colors anymore. We can't show you the packet. You have to tell us which ones.
me: Really? Ok, fine. Well, just give me the 8mg low tar ones, whatever they're called.
staff: They don't have mg measures on the packets any more.
me: So how do I know which ones are the light ones?
staff: You just have to know.

I eventually picked one of the packs at random. Not what I'd call the best harm minimisation strategy.
Jaitley Reaches Parliament; Budget on Schedule – Business Stand
In 2007, being a seasoned Win32 programmer, I was experiencing anxiety, because web development seemed to be taking over the world, and I had not yet written so much as an HTML tag. One day, I started fiddling with Javascript, and six months later I was a mid-level front end developer.

Since that time, I never worried about this again. We have the real option of learning whatever tech stack we want.
Smoking imposes one person's choice on many others, in terms of length and quality of life, via the negative effects of passive smoking (and also just day-to-day---I personally hate having to suffer through someone's acrid fumes). If people smoked without releasing the byproducts into the air everyone else breathes, this argument would make more sense. But even then, there's massive money and expertise behind advertising (etc.) for getting people hooked, against what may be their "actual" preferences.
If you smoke the same amount of weed, it's probably not cheaper, but since it's typical to smoke maybe one joint per day but 20+ cigarettes, yeah, weed could be cheaper.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Unfortunately, this exchange has exhausted what was left of my good will, at least for now. It's decidedly not effort-free yet for me. The past couple of days have been particularly taxing. The last three comments I've written I've immediately deleted because they weren't up-to-snuff. I'll keep at it, though, because I think it's a very important practice to keep.

If that's something you value, and would like to further cultivate in yourself, I've got some references I rely on in my profile. I encourage you to check them out.

I haven't seen or done anything of this scale before, but I did have a very sobering moment while working on a large online retailers stack as a systems engineer.

We were rolling out a new stack in another data center across the country and before replication went live, I decided to connect and check things out. Our chef work hadn't completed for the database hosts, so I decided to install some OS updates by hand using pssh on all the MySQL hosts and saw a kernel update. So I thought, the DC isn't live yet, no replication is running, I'll just restart these servers. So I did using pssh again and then I caught a glimps at the domain in some output and my face went completely pale. I restarted the production databases... all of them. And they all had 256GB of ecc memory. It takes a very long time for each of those machines to POST.

I contacted the client and said the maintenance page was my fault and was fully expecting to be fired on the spot, but they just grilled me about being careful in the future, and then laughed it off.

I've been the most careful ever since then. It scared me straight. Always make sure you are in the right environment before you do anything that requires a write operation.

Languages and frameworks can be pretty reliably determined by tools (GitHub already classifies repos by languages since as long as I can recall); I agree with tagging that reflects concepts/functionality, especially for projects that aren't libraries / dev tools (in which case the underlying languages are merely implementation details).

You're right, but as with anything the management-level questions are (1) risk versus reward; (2) (finite) resource invested versus value derived (versus other options for those resources).

In our case, we can iterate easily based upon real market information post-launch. It's literally illegal to do market research otherwise, so we can't really get a foot in the door hyper-analyzing potential segments ahead of schedule.

Heuristics make analysis practical, and well chosen ones make the difference. This isn't to minimize the accomplishment, but rather to say it has strong similarities to other AI games.
I was just making an informal remark, but reading your comment:

> I think that the optimal mixed strategy for each hand is immune to bluffing (over many hands it will have larger expected winnings against a bluffer). If that wasn't the case, there would exist no Bayes-Nash equilibrium for the game, contradicting Nash's theorem.

I believe that's true. I know for sure that heads up limit hold'em has been solved. That said, I think this context is similar to the iterated prisoners dilemma contest. There's certain to be an equilibrium, but what's interesting isn't the perfect strategy in a min/max sense, but rather a slightly suboptimal strategy that can detect and exploit suboptimal behavior in other players. It sounds like you know this area well, perhaps you can shed some light if I'm on the right hunch?

Earlier but not necessarily cheaper, as they will pick up other forms of repiratory and cardiovascular disease before they expire (not every smoker end up getting incurable lung cancer, and its not like they should be refused treatment kf they do). Not to mention the secdonary harm they cause to the others.
> Why would they try to recruit from Microsoft?

I'm not sure if you read my post correctly, but I never mentioned poaching from Microsoft. I said compete for programmers that would choose to work for Microsoft. I'm also not sure if you understand what Microsoft does. It's a very diverse company with R&D spending that rivals some small nations.

> Microsoft isn't even in this same field (git hosting

I guess you haven't heard of https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/ and their on premise TFS solution that supports Git.

Microsoft understands Enterprise and it's quite obvious they want to be a major provider for Git hosting. It will be foolish to believe Microsoft is not focused on owning the Git mindshare in Enterprise.

> Are you an employee there or something

No. Just somebody that understands this problem space.

Ask HN: Is Front-end harder to learn than Back-end?
I'm asking this because Front-end seems to be changing so rapidly it's hard to keep up with all these new technologies especially with so many devices being used in 2017.

I'm talking let's PHP or Javascript which would be harder to learn in 2017?
At some point you have to blame the person. If the person did it wilfully, deliberately, ignoring the checks and safeguards. Or because there's already so much system that having any more of it would place severe restrictions on everyday tasks.

I'm not saying that's the case here, because it does seem that GitLab has systemic deficiencies. But "never" and "always" are such strong statements.

Prosecutor: Mr. Accused, here is evidence that you murdered that other person. Accused: It's not my fault, but the systems'. Judge: Oh, ok. You are a free man.

I'm not telling you what the virtuous thing to do is, I'm telling you what people like me actually do. The fact that doesn't fit into your system of honesty and propriety, and the fact that this doesn't read as 'selfish' to us, is the same as the fact that we are operating in different, incompatible ethical systems.

I contend that this is in no sense 'raising defiant fists against the man'. There's nothing defiant about it. It's a product of a different system of morality, but it's not a defiant action in that system. It's the result of a different formula for calculating if an action (say, a purchase) is worth it, that takes into account different variables than you use.

Patronising, whatever, but it was still obvious from your previous post that you weren't a holder of the millennial mindset, and it's still obvious from this one that you don't understand them. You're of course fully welcome to preach your morals, say that ours are bad and wrong, and call us entitled -- but nothing like that ever changes minds so what's the point?

(And I didn't say I often or even occasionally get something for free and then pay the creator. What I'll do is pick one of my listed options. That was the point of listing options. You're correct that that one is rarely picked. That's why 'get it for free' was also on the list.)
You must be my long lost twin ;)
I went from Basic, Assembly and then C to Lisp, Forth and then APL, well J [0], but then some APl (Dyalog). I have decided to do all of my work in either Lisp, Forth or J.

I sometimes have to code in Python (there's always Hylang!), but all of my personal interest stuff is in the other three. I am currently going through the 4th edition of "Fractals, Visualizations and J", which is a great introduction to the J language and graphics.

I am trying to make a livecoding (toplap.org) environment in J similar to oK, but more musical and with webgl shaders [1,2].

I'm convinced the proliferation of using GPUs, distributed processing, and multi-core CPUs are all a good fit for a true array or vector-based language like APL, J, and K.
I get more of a functional high on J than in Haskell, and feel like I am writing Math equations after memorizing the 'words' of J, more like operators (nouns, adverbs, conjunctions, verbs, etc...)

Shen is a great mix of Lisp and a typed (optional), lazy (optional) language with great pattern matching that has been implemented on a lot major programming platforms (Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Scheme, Haskell, Common Lisp, Clojure, JVM, and Emacs Lisp) because it runs atop a small set of 46 primitives called KLambda similar to the original Lisp 1.5. If you implement KLambda, and pass the tests, in a given PL, you can then run any Shen program on that platform [3].

Blatant racism and bigotry is valid? Irish and Italians were once niggers in America too.

That's less accurate. I don't think you understand what the ACLU "stands for", in context not in literal acronym. Not to say there isn't contention and opposition, but the hyperbole is not appreciated (e.g. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/31/politics/lgbt-protections-trum...).

Of course they do. It's impossible to know whether or not God exists based on physical evidence; that's why religion is based on faith and not scientific research. People choose their religious beliefs, or (much more commonly) have them chosen for them. That's faith.

Renaming a file should not move its data, right? So rename the file into .file.$(date -Iseconds).trash (but make sure that no legitimate files are ever named in this pattern).

The cases I listed above all involve sole proprietorships or closely-held companies, so compelling the business to engage in protected speech is tantamount to compelling the individual who owns the business to engage in protected speech.

I think the sentiment is better expressed by the greeks: "It takes a village to raise a child".

One possible model may be to enlarge the "nuclear family" to groups of friends. Get five couples who enjoy each other's company together, and everyone can work 80% (4 days) while two people are home each weekday for childcare/housework etc.

Many other models are possible and it would be best to make it as easy as possible to experiment. Relevant factors may be:

- a universal right to flexible work schedules, at least for larger companies (10+) where changes balance out

- Mixed-zoning housing allowing the creative use of space. Which also helps with:

- Neighbourhoods designed for street life, where you can actually meet neighbours and build these (real) social networks, and where children can explore. When I was 6 or so, I became friends with two families in my neighbourhood. One owned a bookshop which became my personal library. The other was a graphics designer and a racing car driver where I learnt computers and mechanics (and got to drive in a Formula 1 car). I was often invited for dinner at these families, or just hung out when they had guests, and I learned more from listening to adults debating the topics of the day than anywhere else.
There are legal limits placed on exhaust. VW is one recent example of this. If I were to pump exhaust from my car into your home, I'm sure there would be repercussions. I believe there are regulations with respect to perfume as well— yup, there are ADA guidelines in the US[0]. I can imagine cases where barbecues have been considered a nuisance. Found an example of that, too.[1]

When looking up the phrase "my rights end where yours begin", I came across the much more colorful "Your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins". I don't think the freedom to emit noisome or noxious fumes is quite as unlimited as implied by your comment.

Yeah, that's about my guess, too. They had a design that worked fine for the components they had when they made it, but the next generation of components changed just enough that things went south. Maybe the cooling didn't quite work reliably anymore, or they couldn't get the support hardware on the same tiny boards...who knows. But I'm betting it's not that they just ignored the Mac Pro and never thought about revving it--it's that they tried a revision and never got it to work reliably, and they realized that they'd innovated their asses into a corner.
