What is the point of that lesson at that age, then? As far as I can tell, it will be of no consequence to them until high school.

Ideally, CS would be taught in a "bottom-up" fashion, from transistors to gates to adders to processors to higher- and higher-abstracted concepts; with Haskell etc occurring last, or nearly so. Then we'd actually have a much more solid grasp of what's going on "under the hood" and can make more informed decisions (e.g. for iterating quickly through many structs, better to actually have 1 struct of arrays/B-trees than 1 array/B-tree of the many structs; both of which are better than anything that involves a linked list; all due to how processor caches work).

In such a situation, binary would indeed be important for assembly and arithmetic units; but also for e.g. knowing to replace expensive integer divisions with cheaper right-shifts when possible by making the divisor be a power-of-2.

How to declutter stuff, one-by-one, like a Pro
>> On April 21, 2017, the Wall Street Journal reported that an investor had alleged that Theranos Inc. had misled company directors about its practices concerning laboratory testing. According to a lawsuit filed by the investor, Theranos had used a shell company to secretly buy lab equipment to run fake demonstrations with.

The company lied to its own board of directors and investors. I don't think they are the ones who need to be jailed.

This isn't 23andMe where a viable product got caught up in legal fights over reporting. As I understood it, the fraudulent component here was "everything at all worthwhile about the product". Are they just a shell at this point, trying to use the team and leftover money as a basis for a new project? Do they have some existing offering which isn't totally valueless? What's happening here?
Oof - unsolicited advice, but that combined with your acknowledgement of racism in the system will have some people calling you the plantation market. Even though you're not saying it explicitly, what I just read is that implicitly your revenue model is based on giving companies access to a below market cost labor force that's predominantly POC. While I lean towards the idea that its better they have access to a job than not, I think it's also vital to pursue full wages, rather than partial wages despite their debt to society being paid.

Hi Richard, great idea. I'm a UX designer and want to throw out some suggestions on how to improve the experience of the site.

First, use more cheerful/positive messages/visuals. It was a joykill when I checked out your website and there's a sad guy placing his hand on the forehead. Show what's possible. How successful people can be once they get a job.. rather than their current state (unemployment). Don't focus on the current stat, focus on the future desirable state.

Also, you need to put more focus on the jobs. List featured jobs to draw people in. Just list some jobs below the search. This will engage the user to explore the site.
Highly recommended further reading:

A mix of both, actually. I've been using uTorrent for years until 2016, when I've decided to switch to some new OS X release. After installing the system update, the old, ad-free version of uTorrent has stopped working. The new version seemed a bloated mess to me, so I've tried a few other clients, but was left unsatisfied. Finally, in despair I've decided to write my own client with simplistic command-line UI, with emphasis on streaming movies. The sheer amount of new information in BEPs was enough for me to decide to take the easiest route and use the language, that I'm most familiar with.
Yes, smart advertising. I use PIA every now and then when I go on trips. Seeing this donation made me feel really good about choosing PIA.

You're absolutely correct.

1. It's unlikely that Impossible Foods will ever match the quality of a grass-fed, grain-finished 80/20 chuck + short rib blend from a purveyor like Pat LaFrieda.

2. The dish is heavily spiced and the Impossible Foods product is playing the role of the bolognese. It can hide under the seasoning and spices.

3. I still think the product is valuable. The vast majority of meat product Americans consume meets a much lower bar. I think Impossible Foods already makes a product that's better than the ground meat that goes into a lot of fast food chains. If you didn't tell people, I suspect they'd prefer a Taco Bell or White Castle product made with Impossible Foods instead of the "mix" that they currently use.
Did someone say drones with chainsaws?

Eventive Information for Metaphor Detection and Classification [pdf]
My father owns a retail business that has four stores and employs a bunch of hourly workers. After growing up around the business and working there in my teens and twenties, I feel pretty confident that the risk of a second-chance felon is probably no more than the risk of any average off-the-street hourly worker. Bad apples show up all of the time. They steal a little money or some inventory, get fired, and life goes on. The risk is far greater for an ex-con: why would they risk going back to prison and losing a good job that gave them a second chance over a little money in the register or some inventory?

Draft is a very simple tool and it's not just based on Helm, it is using Helm under the hood.

You will probably not find much use for Draft given the more advanced state of your tooling. It's been described as "a gateway drug to k8s" because, for the uninitiated, it simplifies the process of "OK, I want to put my app on K8s, what now?" – it sets you up with a reasonable default chart, and a dummy Dockerfile based on what kind of app the Draft logic decides your app is.
(Eg. it's going to recommend ruby:onbuild if you have a Ruby app.)

That might work out of the box, more likely you need to make some changes in the Dockerfile, but that could very well be all.

It's really more like an advertisement for Deis. It's the "zeroconf" version of Deis. If you've never heard of Deis, I'll be happy to tell you more about that; Deis has a builder service/pod and acts as a git repository, so you set it up as a git remote with the deis commandline tool and 'git push deis' to prompt a release upgrade. It is more likely what you are probably expecting as a piece of your CI/CD solution.

For people that aren't already fluent users of git, k8s, helm, charts... Draft is easier to get started with, and it gives a chance to expose you to all of those things, without making any of it prerequisite knowledge to spin up your app on k8s at once.

For literally anyone else, you're going to get a much better experience from Deis, which is not only out of Beta but long past the 2.0 milestone (when it moved to K8s from the prior CoreOS/Fleet-based stack.) Deis is installed via helm, but after that you do not need to use the Helm client. Your apps can use Procfile-style or Dockerfile for deployments.

The builder is very modern and developed, and as it evolves, it picks up a lot of efficiencies that you might have seen before on Heroku if you're familiar with that platform, making it very convenient to work with. (That also means it brings the baggage of 12-Factor, if you consider that as baggage...)
> Why not do a chargeback

Do you really think "I bought something sight unseen and now I don't like it, waah" gets you special snowflake protection? There is no hint that the item is faulty or not as described.
I got a pair of headphones from an Amazon seller, that stopped working after a week. The seller said they'd send me a new pair after I download a PDF from their website, that had a stencil of wired headphones cut in 3 parts, cut my own headphones into 3 parts and align them on the stencil, take a photo of that thing with my name attached, and send them the jpg. Not kidding.

The good news: I still have the replacement pair a year down the line, and they work well.

Perhaps it is based on the fact that Quebec law is known in French as the "Code civil" as opposed to the English-based "Common law" and so, would have little to do with what the English speaking world know as "civil cases".
No, is not like that. Both the calf to the cow and bch (bcc ?) to btc are "intrinsic". They are the result of the nature of these things. Not gifts, not accidents, not abritrary.

Yes, of course. Long-term issues aren't any different than others; they only need longer (more generations) to manifest.

One class (meta-)examples are all mechanism actually promoting mutation, or other methods of genetic variation: Horizontal gene transfer is interesting in this regard. It's the ability to incorporate snippets of DNA the organism comes across.

These mechanisms are an adaptation to the "known unknowns": what if a new pathogen appears, or the environment (temperature, radiation, salinity etc) suddenly changes? To achieve some flexibility, these mechanisms make trade-offs, usually sacrificing short-term reproductive success.

And as far as being banned goes: of course you first raise the issue with Amazon. Amazon says its an independent seller, go deal with them. You try to work it out with the seller, he doesn't budge, you show him the law. Still doesn't budge, you raise it with Amazon again. If Amazon doesn't budge, tell them that you are lawfully entitled and will do a chargeback, and that they can deal with the independent seller acting illegally (and if they're smart they just chargeback the seller). If they would still ban you then, that will be one hell of a juicy court case.
The best analogy I've found to explain programming are cooking recipes.

You have input (ingredients), a procedure (recipe), output (what the recipe is for). From there you can start a transitioning towards more abstract ideas.

Knitting is another analogy that can be used.
You are so right on all your comments. Soon we'll be re-doing the entire site. Perhaps we can talk in several weeks?
Are that many people returning items for any reason other than the item not being as advertised in some way? If I don't get the item in the state that it was advertised in, I'm already getting a refund one way or another: either through the seller or by doing a charge back on my credit card if the seller drags their feet for more than a few weeks or is giving me BS. And I just flat out won't buy from a seller that won't shoulder the responsibility if the item is damaged or defective.

I suppose some people might return an item because they changed their mind or misjudged what they needed, but I online shop a lot and I've literally never demanded a refund for something like that. Surely it can't be that bad...
> so violent retribution is fully legitimate.

Violent retribution by one private individual against another is already a right in many places if you're defending yourself, your family, or your home. So far as I (as a fairly well-educated citizen) know, this is only voided when the invader is an officer of the police. And there are stiff laws prohibiting the impersonation of a police officer.

If someone other than a police officer attempted to force their way into my home and attempted to take myself, my wife, and my son prisoner, I don't think I would believe them if they claimed to have some kind of civil search warrant. Now I know that "Anton Piller orders" are a thing that exists, but I still have my doubts.
> Was I the only person who did not understand the draw of Logo as a kid? Having to use it in school made me feel like the world viewed me as a lobotomy victim.

> And today, whenever one of these teaching-kids-to-program language/environments comes out, I always wonder, "is a real language really beyond the 8-10 year old's grasp?"

> I wish someone had introduced me to Lisp as a child. It's so fundamental. I remember thinking in similar terms, and would have had my mind blown on so many different levels if someone had introduced me to Lisp when I was 8-10, or even younger.

Logo is a real language, and it is extremely similar to Lisp; a lot of people even just refer to it as a Lisp dialect. There's a lot more to Logo than turtle graphics, the same way there's a lot more to Racket or Python or any other language that has a turtle graphics package.

Basically, you were more or less introduced to Lisp when you were a kid, and having to use it in school made you feel like the world viewed you as a lobotomy victim.

The problem you encountered probably stems less from Logo and more from being taught Logo by teachers who barely knew it themselves, and who didn't care about or understand anything beyond turtle graphics, so that's all they're able to teach to students.

Here's a good introduction to Logo by Brian Harvey with an emphasis on symbolic computation: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/computer-science-logo-style
The article is terrible. Who exactly coerced Lackman to answer arbitrary questions? Who was his lawyer? When did his lawyer arrive? Who threatened Lackman with contempt or court?

I've known the parties to a couple of Anton Piller orders and I don't believe there was any questioning. Anton Piller orders are essentially a civil search warrant to seize evidence. Go in, take the items sought by force if necessary and hand them to an independent lawyer who will keep them. The defendant or someone representing it if it's a corporation has to be there to witness it and be given an inventory of what's taken. There's no scope for questioning anyone.
I went through a period where I was building out an A/V studio where I was returning stuff sometimes twice a week. Never heard a complaint, but I got nervous so I actually reached out to their customer service--"hey, I'm building out this studio, I'm getting a lot of stuff that doesn't fit my needs/doesn't fit what the box says, I don't want to get flagged", the rep put a note in my file, never heard a peep.
Still, the formula low + (high - low)/2 keeps the integers smaller (assuming everything is positive). That is to say, it can work with larger values before requiring bignums compared to (low + high) / 2. On the other hand, it is more operations.
In fact they're not right.

The parent is confusing criminal record with incarceration duration. The UK has nearly just as high of a criminal record ratio among adult men for example. The difference is the US assigns far longer incarceration times for the same crime vs the UK. Further, Europe as a whole has a higher crime rate than the US does. [1]

70 million jobs has plenty of room for international expansion accordingly.

No, it probably will not dissuade people all that effectively. That logic is part of the problem.
Even though this shouldn't be a problem (in that I agree that this is a policy issue in a lot of ways) I think that this could create more momentum for a fix by bringing this issue to light.

Tavis's code ran on Linux and hooked the import table of Defender's scanning engine to report Windows XP as the underlying Windows version [1].

Originally the author didn't hook and let Defender call the native version check APIs, which (correctly) reported Windows 10. Apparently there was extra initialization code in that case that failed to run in a sandbox. The fix was to reproduce the hooking code, in Rust, to report XP as the underlying Windows version.

My kids were a little under 2 heading into election season. We watched very little television at that age but there was one YouTube show that would really help calm down one of them. Pretty much every time we watched that, we got a Trump ad. Yay living in Ohio!

Thankfully they've taken to some PBS shows like Daniel Tiger and Thomas, so they're usually content with that and we generally don't watch them on YouTube, so there isn't an recommended content. One time, I did put up a Thomas YouTube video on one screen with on of my sons in my lap, while I finished up 10 minutes worth of work on the other screen. That's how we got sucked into the "Bob the Train" vortex. Not good.
In the past couple of years there has been a huge uptick in YT content targeting very young children. The feedback loop is so tight that many of the creators have converged on designing some of the most visceral (and disturbing) material that appeals to kids at a reptilian level. Think about how genuinely weird little kids are. Sometimes they do stuff that would be scary if it wasn't just a minute of innocent pretend and a toy. Stuff like kidnapping each other or performing surgery on each other. Well, now there are hundreds of thousands of YT videos illustrating that kind of material in fine detail. Many of them have millions of views.
