I'll take a look, but if I never get back to you I would like to share with you this one important concept that has caused most efforts to fail.

Let me start with a quote from Brian Kernighan "Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"

When you make a graphic based programming language the debugging better be twice as good as the programming and this includes when things get really difficult with lots of threads, or when the over arching abstraction breaks at some low level and you are exposed to the underbelly of the CPU. At least C++ lets you gracefully traverse from the very high to the very low which is why it is favored in the end, you are never stuck you can always go lower.
Yes, let's increase the size of the haystack. I've yet to see proof that having the ability to read each and every communication would have prevented any attack that from the last couple of years. For the most part the criminals communicated in clear text SMS or on open phone lines or in game chatrooms. If they needed advanced crypto that would prove at least that we have done everything else to make their lives harder, but so far it looks as if there is plenty of low hanging fruit.

Suggestion: reduce the size of the haystack further so that limited manpower can be concentrated on those cases where it is actually useful rather than to chase each and every 16 year old with a twitter account or a facebook page.
It's even worse than this, they have to analyse and attack every motherfucker's implementation of BogoCrypt under the sun. They can probably do this, but it's an impossibly time consuming task.

Buying clothes to protect you from the elements, are you? Many people buy them for entirely different reasons, like signaling social status and other things. Even if you do this very conservatively, you need to keep up because fashions change and what your dress signaled last year is not what it signals this. Sheesh.

Option 1) is the right thing to do, only it's hard to accept for people who are prejudiced against having rich and well-educated parents.

Option 2) is also fine on small scale, but makes it harder to compare results between different schools, states, countries.

Options 3 - 5 are just dubious (how would you measure "potential future ability"?)
Algorithms code snippets – Useful for Interview preparations (WIP)
For myself, I would think that the best way to compel kids (and adults) to be more interested in learning and personal development is to relate it to their sense of identity.

People want to emulate their heroes and live into who they feel they are. The 'school nerd' phenomenon is one we're probably most familiar with; if you start seeing your identity as being a 'nerd' of the school, you tend to live into it even more. If you can somehow leverage that effect, it can be fairly powerful.

And then of course, just making learning fun, entertaining and a normal part of life and not just for school would certainly help. I read recreationally very early on because that was just normal in my home environment.

Overall, I'd worry less about making students feel good or bad over individual tasks, and pay more attention to fostering their desire to be the kind of person that needs to learn.
As Hastings said himself, at this point they're big enough that they can get whatever deals they want. Especially considering that they're pretty much the only reason the movie industry is making any money at all...

ASCII isn't universal even today (the page you are reading is UNICODE), but all text was much more readable and in general easier to process with ad-hoc filtering or other manipulation than binary formats.

This is what underpins most of the power of UNIX, but at the same time is something of a weak point: good and error free text processing is actually quite hard.
unsigned long *wfds = (unsigned long *)wfds_out;

Unless fd_set has the same or stricter alignment requirements as unsigned long, and fd_set and unsigned long are compatible effective types, this line of code provokes undefined behaviour twice (breaks strict alignment and breaks effective type access).
But they also come at a cost. And much of that cost is administrative.

4) How do I message an example of visual code?

5) How do I blog about visual code?

Perhaps people get self-esteem from different sources?

Personally I think people conflafe self-esteem with confidence. The article and the subject of it are doing this, and I'm a bit surprised it's not mentioned.

"Unconditional positivity" will probably build confidence--faith in positive outcomes--but it doesn't appear to build self-esteem--high value or love for oneself.

And someone can be completely unconfident and have very high self-esteem...

But who knows: perhaps artificially-induced confidence can at least trick people into feeling like they love themselves. If it does, then good for them?

Personally I could see myself end up thinking, worrying and beating myself up about being fake or phony, but that's just me. I might say it's not for me, but I would try not tell them directly with a Dwight-from-The-Office demeanor: "Wrong. Self-esteem comes from..."
> External stuff produces other-esteem and yeah, it's the root of narcissism

Don't confuse root and symptoms, though. Excessive admiration contributes as much as exaggerated criticism throughout the childhood. If anything, the narcissistic personality disorder means a missing intrinsic self-esteem, which is tried to compensate by getting this from external sources - which somewhat "works", but not for long, so it must be repeated again and again.
I think that you are right. I just found the topic of "what is it that we expect of grades" to be mildly interesting and I also think the answer should matter when we are talking about grading policy.
I have a system service for Emacs, which starts up headless and invokes emacs-server. When I want an Emacs window, I just run `emacsclient -c` (I usually have one for programming and one for email).

I've occasionally had X crash. After waiting for my desktop to reappear, I can reattach to my dtached DVTM session, spawn new emacsclient windows and be back to exactly where I was. The main application I use which doesn't do this is my browser, which is tied to the X session.

I do all of this locally, but at an old job I had to use a Windows desktop. Since we had Linux servers for development, I used them to run emacs-server. Each day I'd boot my Windows machine and use Cygwin/X to spawn a fresh Emacs window, picking up right where I left off the previous day. Just make sure to avoid GTK+ for the GUI, since there's a longstanding bug which prevents reattaching after an X server quits. I just used the Lesstif GUI instead.
> Probably not Netflix's choice.

Oh come on, this apologising needs to stop. Netflix joined the major DRM pushers as soon as they started producing their own content. They were the major proponents of HTML DRM. They happily apply that DRM and geoblocking to the series they produce and even more happily geoblock them as well. They've joined the other major publishers in behaviour.

This net neutrality backpedal is just another in the line of their anti-consumer move - now that preventing others from joining the market makes them profit, they'll happily throw neutrality under the bus. It was just popular as long as they were the ones screwed by the cable operators.
Whow, so many mistakes.

"VW's conduct both in implementing these cheats": No Bosch implemented these cheats. If there was help or demand from outside, it was Audi, not VW.

"Why only VW? VW sells more Diesel cars in the US than all other companies together."

The fines should be on all manifacturers of the cheaters. From the list of the affected engines I see not a single one being targeted. The relevant VW engines are all manifactured by Audi, the relevant cheats were manifactured by Bosch, the other relevant cheaters involve everyone: Audi, Daimler, BMW, Skoda, Volvo, VW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Citroen, Mazda, Peugeot, Hyundai, KIA, Toyota, Ssangyong, Infinity, Fiat, Ford, Mitshubishi, Seat, Vauxhall, Chevrolet, Dacia, Honda, Nissan, MG, Porsche, Renault, ... you name it. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/23/diesel-cars...

Only those 7 diesel cars meet the Euro 6 NOx limits, the other 97% not.

* Audi	A5	2014
* BMW	3 Series	2013
* Skoda	Superb	2016
* Volkswagen	Golf SV	2015
* Volkswagen	Passat	2016
* Volkswagen	Scirocco 2015
* Volkswagen	Touran	2016

Note that this mostly consists of VW cars meeting the limits, all others not.

I very much agree on what you say. In fact I'd been in similar situation. So having thought about this a lot too, I'm thinking more and more often that it might make sense to do things even if it's "just" going to be mediocre. We don't have to strive on everything. Although eventually some things might go really well because one is truly interested in them.

Rewards can help but maybe it's sometimes better to reward oneself, e.g. by spending a lot of money on a breakfast after accomplishing something. But yeah, when you're in school, you very much depend on your parents.

On HN you really get the hard edge of denialism, probably well financed shills, very interesting.

Clearly the massive non-sequitur in the statement below is super interesting obfuscation: the article states that global warming is real, so how can you call it fake if you agree that it is real?

We are not talking about climate warming, but its direct consequence which is climate disruption, a few degrees warming leading to much higher likelihood of extreme weather events, this has not been news since at least Katrina and the california drought & fires.

Not dealing with it is not an option when your house is burning. Implictly there is the hope that somebody else's house or lake gets hit, but for the US it's no dice, there are massive fragilities everywhere. (Jersey, NYC subway, ...)

Unless they are going out of their way to spend a lot of money, the cost of those graphics is actually pretty cheap in comparison to the entire device. It's probably things like marble floors where the cost between one material choice can be 3x-10x the cost of another that would increase costs.

Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity

"Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development, and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicity. "

But, overall upper and middle class kids who are on average more likely to be spoiled have better results then lower classes who are raised to be tougher if they are raised.
Russ Roberts, the host of EconTalk and economics professor, also doesn't think that Bitcoin's fixed supply would lead to destructive deflation.

> Isn’t a fixed supply of money dangerous?

> It’s certainly different. “Elaborate controls to make sure that currency is not produced in greater numbers is not something any other currency, like the dollar or the euro, has,” says Russ Roberts, professor of economics at George Mason University. The consequence will likely be slow and steady deflation, as the growth in circulating bitcoins declines and their value rises.

> “That is considered very destructive in today’s economies, mostly because when it occurs, it is unexpected,” says Roberts. But he thinks that won’t apply in an economy where deflation is expected. “In a Bitcoin world, everyone would anticipate that, and they know what they got paid would buy more then than it would now.”

Kids are still trying to figure out their self-identity. Having them believe that they are naughty is not a good thing, as it will create a feedback loop.

They rule I've always used is to blame the behaviour (you're doing a naughty thing) if it's negative and praise the child (you're so kind) if it's something you want to reinforce.

Monetary policy in the sense of the Fed can easily be implemented in cryptocurrency; an Ethereum token can be trivially minted and burned according to its owner's wishes.

Decentralized and semi-autonomous monetary policy is an emerging topic. The Maker/Dai project (http://makerdai.org/) is working on formulating smart contracts that give rise to a price-stable token backed in excess by diverse collateral cryptoassets.
> discouragement is more of a sign that they're not enjoying the activity. When someone really enjoys something they like finding the flaws in what they're doing so they can get better.

Are you sure this correlation is unidirectional? As a tutor, I frequently get people to enjoy things they didn't before simply by trying really hard to avoid discouraging feelings. In a way, a large portion of my tutoring is about getting people to enjoy the things they used to hate, because that appears to massively improve retention rate.

There is a big difference in the grades students are getting in the UK. I don't have an answer as to why but here are some examples for A level Chemistry. The links below give the tables with GCSE and A level exam results from 1993 to 2016.

In 1993 16.8% got an A and 10.3% a U

by 2016 8.4% were A* and 23.5% got an A (31.9% at A/A*) with only 2.7% getting a U.

For the sake of it, I have created something slightly similar in the past which is currently rewritten in my spare time. It is not finished yet, but I can show you an example. Of course, I have the code for it online.

and that credit won't be accepted by anyone who doesn't trust the creditor (bank in this case). so it's useless unless you only intend to spend the credit at certain locations that accept this credit

cash, on the other hand, doesn't suffer from this predicament, since it's legally must be accepted. so Bitcoin lending via credits can't work, if at all.
Seconded. It's super annoying and while it can be worked around, I don't like having to deal with it following me around as I scroll.

Depending on our economic policies, there are a few different ways automation's impact on labor can express itself. The key thing that automation does is that it substitutes for labor thereby making labor less valuable.

If labor is less valuable, it doesn't have to mean fewer jobs. It doesn't even have to mean fewer hours worked. It can just mean less money going to labor (i.e. lower wages).

If our economy is operating below its productive capacity, which it is, then our levels of production are constrained by how much people can spend. And if consumers get their incomes from labor, then automation means consumers have less spending money.

If consumer incomes are constrained by wages, you'd therefore expect our level of production to decrease with increased levels of automation. And because economic policies are keeping the hours worked high, you'd expect the amount of production per man hour to decrease.

Hence...

"1. The U.S. economy is in a productivity recession."

Furthermore, if firms need to keep production levels low in order to clear markets, you'd expect that they wouldn't have much of a need to figure out ways to boost production.

Hence...

"2. Companies don’t seem to be investing in technology nearly as much as they used to."

Technology and automation allow the use of resources to be more efficient. One of those resources is labor. That means that in cases where we're actually using labor for production -- instead of, you know, just as an excuse to give people incomes -- we can get that labor really cheap.

"3. Globalization is a much bigger deal than automation for work and wages."

Globalization is automation.

But because we're Americans and we believe in the American dream, we need to force the labor market to provide incomes for hard-working Americans. Naturally, since many jobs amount to little more than token busy-work, we should then expect the labor market to become exceedingly boring and uneventful. After all, these are just fake jobs propped up by economic policy.

Hence...

"4. The U.S. economy’s creative-destruction engine is broken."

"This isn’t what the end of work was ever supposed to look like."

Yes it is. This is exactly what it's supposed to look like.
Does anyone know why they fight ASICs?
I find the topic of self-esteem super interesting.

Somehow it seems to be one of the most fundamental factors of our well being and the course of our life. Yet we usually don't even try to measure it. Do I have below or above average self-esteem? I couldn't say.

Googling around brought up the "Rosenberg self-esteem scale" questionnaire. I tried it. Scored is 14. Which is considered low. Uh oh :)

Now what?
> Spending more does not help. Spending per pupil in Washington, DC is possibly the highest in the nation, with the most abysmal performance.

Perhaps even more needs to be spent, or the money is spent the wrong way? It would otherwise seem as though DC students are impossible to teach - which seems odd.
>it's hard to accept for people who are prejudiced against having rich and well-educated parents.

No, it's problematic for people who believe an education system which privileges the rich is a recipe for systemic inequality.

Now personally, I don't think a grading system is the right place to address this inequality, but insisting anyone who does is just "prejudiced against the rich" is facile.
> This would result in a deflationary spiral (no one spends the money b/c they're better off waiting and letting it appreciate, which leads to less spending, which leads to even more deflation, etc.)

The deflationary spiral can happen, but not as easily as you think and not when everyone is acting rationally. Let's say the economy (your numerator) is growing by 5% per year. then deflation would also be 5% in your model. If you have a project that returns 10%, you would still spend the money. However, if you have a project that returns 4%, you would keep it. So in you case, it would only be the below-average projects that are not being implemented, which is not such a bad thing as it means that there are more resources left for the high-return projects.

If you are aware of an economic model that allows for deflationary spirals under rational expectations, please let me know.
Whoops. I meant 16-bit versus 32-bit integers, when switching from 16-bit to 32-bit systems. Sorry for the confusion. Fortunately, they didn't repeat that mess for 32/64 bits, at least not for integers, but "decades old code" is still affected.
