Interesting, thanks for the comprehensive answer! In this case it seems it would actually be a viable, and arguably more secure, alternative.
I can offer only the anecdotal, though I'm sure an internet search should produce for you more scientific backing.

I've experienced this myself and have witnessed it in coworkers and in my father, all of us having worked the different shifts at one point or another. For me, whenever I was on 2nd or 3rd shift my health, state of mind, and life in general suffered. I also never felt rested or clear-headed no matter how much or how little sleep I got.

Should you live near a school with an 8am marching band out in practice, or maybe you live in or near an apartment complex with a yard service peaceably armed with a lawnmower and leaf blower at 9am, then good luck to you. Setting up the equivalent of a photographic dark room gets me only so far.

Nowadays I avoid shift work as much as possible. The money isn't worth it for me.
1. Jobs' suggestion of outlining text is not the norm today.

2. Pixel by pixel scrolling is, but that it was done line-by-line on the Xerox computer could have been a deliberate performance concession for this 70s era hardware. Redrawing large sections of the screen over and over (for every pixel of scroll) was very slow by modern standards and not redrawing every pixel was often preferable on those systems even if you could do it.
Or RIS broke into state election boards to get hyper accurate data on voter and voting patterns unavailable within legal means, broke into campaigns to find information they could construe as satanic (like child sex slave rings run out of pizzeria shops), and then colluded with Republicans to distribute their propaganda to the most low information voters they could find in swing states for maximum impact.
When reading debates about reserving the digital space (not necessarily the typographic form) of certain characters, I always liken it to a typographer creating fonts for an advertisement. If the letter "g" is not needed for the ad, and the font is developed for the ad, why should the "g" glyph exist? If they release the font file (or it is extracted somehow) if "g" was never created, the space for it will exist, there will simply be no glyph for it.
Is this academic extremism something confined to the USA so far? I don't remember hearing about riots at European universities yet.
Perhaps more appropriately "the trouble with Mensa members." A study consisting only of Mensa members might not generalize to all people with IQ >130. There are two things needed to get into Mensa: 1) a high test score on a qualifying test, and the important 2) some reason why it is worth it to pay $70 per year to be a member.

Reason 2) is why I think that these results might not generalize. Many people join Mensa for the narcissistic reason of being able to say that they are in Mensa. I'll bet that narcissism has a larger impact on anxiety disorders. Mensa is not representative of the general population of smart people when it comes to narcissism. Obligatory note: there are other reasons to join Mensa, such as the networking aspect of meeting other smart people.

There are tons of really smart people that have high test scores (or never bothered to take an IQ test) that are well adjusted and get by just fine in their life. They demonstrate their genius in their actions, not by their words.

I'm all for equality, but increasingly, these BLM-emulative student movements aren't egalitarian, but racist in the other direction. See #7 for example. Many of those demands, like #24, aren't even possible let alone reasonable. There are specific laws governing the employment of non-naturalized residents.
I think Smalltalk-80 was adapted to be portable to non-PARC systems: only standard ASCII, only Unix-style file system, etc.
The beginning of the end of the internet as we know it. It started with the cell phone companies allowing partner service to not count towards data caps. It's really just a ploy to normalize that kind of activity. It is only a matter of time before you start to see this wide spread.
None of the demands seem to have much to do with the teaching of this particular course.

It is also the case that the professors have very little control over meeting these demands.

Finally, presumably there are some people who want to take that class.

This is like yelling at the Starbucks barista because you don't like the flavors they're using in the cake, even though other customers want that flavor.

My sympathy is with the barista.
How to implement an SDK that performs real-time manipulation of audio without really knowing how to describe the correct result using TDD?

Only when I understand the problem, the SDK and the expected result I could start writing some tests.

TDD seems to be for business applications where you're using tried and tested technology to implement new problems.

If you are interested about this era of computing, I recommend The Dream Machine: J. C. R.

I agree, they should be expelled for deliberately disrupting a class like that (or at least be forced to drop it with an F on their transcript). I think the lack of an appropriate response like that is what "gave these people the idea the heckler's veto is a legitimate tactic on a college campus." They tried it, it worked, so they do it again but bigger.
This is a good summary of the entire situation without the emotion of an op-ed:

Usually when the idea of using GMT as clock time everywhere is brought up, someone posts this article arguing against it, and it seems to get a positive response:

https://qntm.org/abolish

I do not find that article very persuasive. It compares the ease in the current system of knowing if it is a good time to call your Uncle in Melbourne to the purported difficulty of doing so if we have a single worldwide timezone, but I think it greatly overstates the difficulty.

In fact, you use exactly the same procedure in both systems. It's just that a couple of the values are interpreted differently.

0. In both systems you have to know that Melbourne is about N hours ahead of you due to the longitude difference.

1. Let C1 = your clock time.

2. Let C2 = C1 + N

3. Is it a good time to receive calls AT YOUR LOCATION when your clock time is C2?

4. If yes, call your Uncle.

In the multi-zone system, C2 is the current clock time at your Uncle's location. Clock time approximates local time in this system, so you need to figure out if that local time is a good time to call. In step #3 you take advantage of your knowledge that schedules in local time are approximately the same in Melbourne as they are in most other cities, including yours, so you can use your experience with your local time.

In the single worldwide zone system, it still works. C1 is now the clock time at both your place and your Uncle's place (and everywhere else). C2 is now approximately the clock time when your local time will be what your Uncle's local time is right now. In other words C1 at your Uncle's place is like C2 at your place.

There are good arguments for keeping time zones, but ease of figuring out if calling someone far east or west of you is going to wake them up is not one of them.
My father is a retired ER doctor and had worked pretty much every shift imaginable -- or for you, probably that you're experiencing as well despite whatever speciality you're after. He agrees.

I come from same background and have opposite opinion to yours. So you can see this is all personal biases and saying RT is not legitimate news is comparable to me saying CNN is state propaganda of US. Propaganda, by the way, is a tool used by all governments, not just Russia and North Korea but also US, China and so on. All have their own propaganda they are trying to push which favors their interests.
I don't like to shit on steve jobs, he was a cultural father (like gates, or other figures of that cherished era). That said, what jobs saw was the outer layer, the shallow experience. It has hard consequences:

- it's what the user wants to feel quickly: beauty (it drives sales also)

- it's not what the user wants to have: understanding (it's .. non existent for a commercial market)

both are true, still the elusion of the underlying layer saddens me to no end.

Another example: the copy key, in mainstream OSes you copy some text, in PARC OS, you copy an object, the whole graph; it's life altering in capabilities and simplicity. It even has a dedicated key !
This post is poisonous to knowledge. I've politely corrected professors who I respect on multiple occasions. Just because you are informed about a particular subject does not mean that you are never wrong about that subject. I've noticed that STEM professors tend to be more willing to accept that they are wrong about something than in the humanities which I suspect is because it is much easier to prove that someone is incorrect about something in STEM.
I live in the continental United States. Hell, I'm not even that remote. I have DSL and cell service that borders on effective, depending on the season and weather. It's not like I live in Alaska.

People get lost here, all the damned time. They even have cell phones but don't realize they are useful for more than driving directions. Yes, I have gone out and 'rescued' people (plural) who had no signal but had GPS on their phone.

However, once in a while, we don't find them. Sometimes, we never find them. This is just northern Franklin County, Maine. If you follow some pretty simple rules, you'll be just fine. If not, Mother Nature is a powerful force and may very well kill you.

There's a lot of talk in New England about switching to Atlantic Time, which would effectively give us "permanent DST".

That is something I’ve thought about too. Kind of like passive investing / index funds. It works great, but if everyone is doing it, then it loses it’s original purpose and distorts market prices.

I will say once patterns are discovered they tend to be forgotten as well, so modification can stop happening.

He has over 100 movies and 5 decades of works. His many movies in 80s, 90s are major blockbusters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South East Asia, the reason he can have Hollywood movies. His movies in the last 10 years are not major sellers but they're only one or two lemons. He is still pulling in the crowd in China. And his movies are still shown during peak Chinese New Year CNY in China, indicating investors confidence. Most stars in China wants their movies shown during this CNY period. He owns film studio, and you can go watch a movie in "Jackie Chan" branded theatres in China. Most film deals he struck are based on % of movie revenue. He is more business man than an actor. Are you serious in doubting his wealth?
I'm also interested in this...
Good point.

Yep, I think that's an important insight. I know a few people who grew up in very evangelical/conservative Christian communities who later dropped that ideology for left-wing ones (e.g. feminism). Their attitudes and behaviors are almost exactly the same, except that the content of their ideas has been swapped out.

Yes, Russia is actively interfering with internal politics of many Eastern European countries (I'm from one). But I have a surprise for you, US is interfering as much if not a lot more.

Do you? Anyone can question anything. That's how a free and fair society works.

The professor has a lot of detailed knowledge on the topics they cover, but maybe not a radical critique of the underlying assumptions of what they teach.

I'm not super familiar with this case, but glancing over the student's demands, many looked reasonable.
Tim Wu, who coined the term “network neutrality”, wrote an excellent op-ed in the N.Y. Times yesterday. He said that now speech,l is a form of control and censorship, whereas 100 years ago limiting speech was a form of control / censorship. Interesting to see how the pendulum shifts...

They being the media. Journalistic integrity died years ago. We like to blame Russian for the last election outcome, but are quick to forget that mega corporations spent way more time and effort trying to sway the election. For some reason we are ok with Google trying to influence voters through recommends and search results, but aren't ok when Russian does the same thing using ads (on Google platforms). Google, Twitter, Facebook had no problem taking Russian money during the election.

How One Man’s Quest to Save His Magnets Became a Massive Regulatory Battle
I notice this submission is now flagged. Anybody has any idea as to why or in which way is inappropriate?
I'm not sure why one would ever use ADTs for the situation you described, I totally agree it's not a good fit, but it's not what they were designed for anyway. But based on what you've described either a plain StringMap, or if you need to store different data types, a GADT with different type constructors for each of the types which might be present in the data that you want to work with (i.e. String, Integer, StringMap, List, etc.).

The StringMap is trivial, and the GADT requires declaration, but is straight-forward pattern matching/construction from that point onward, so I don't think either option impose any "real" additional cost here.

Navigating/extracting datastructures via lenses or recursion/pattern-matching is clear and concise, definitely not onerous by any means.

I'll gladly admit that my argument hinges on using a state of the art type system, but in my opinion, if we're going to debate the merits of static typing, then we should be looking at the best it has to offer. It seems like perhaps you haven't had an opportunity to work with Haskell or something like it (want to be clear that's not a judgment statement, and I'm solely basing this on your last comment, if you have, sorry about that!), which is fine, I mean, I only ended up learning some of it due to diving down the rabbit hole of type system research while designing my compiler - but if the first thing I had to compare a dynamic language to is Java, then yeah, it's no contest I would use Clojure instead.

I think something important to remember is that I don't think one should be a "static typer" or a "dynamic typer" - dividing the world into right/wrong, good/bad, black/white is almost always the wrong point of view. If I'm automating something, or doing some exploratory programming, I'm probably going to reach for bash/python/etc.; if I'm writing a command line tool or simple service I'm probably going to use go; working on a concurrent system, I'm probably going to reach for erlang/elixir/go/pony/etc. - but if it's even remotely complex, I'm always going to favor the option with the best static type system, because I know it's going to help me (and anyone else working on the system, especially newbies) keep things sane. Over half of what I just listed do not have static type systems, but I still have a clear preference - it is possible to use the right tool for the job without compromising your ideals. Part of why I started working on my own compiler was that I wanted to design something that both provided the strong type system, while still functioning well as a "get shit done" language, something with the concision of Haskell, but the flexibility of ML (permitting both functional and imperative paradigms), a comfortable FFI, and good tooling, including the ability to run scripts interactively (for example, via shebang scripts). I haven't found a language that mixes all of that together in a way that satisfies me, which is why I still use a variety of languages for different tasks. So I guess what I'm saying is, try not to divide people into two camps - it's possible to live in both at different times, but still prefer one or the other :)

Of course we have a right to question anything. But pragmatism demands that we don't spend an arbitrarily large amount of time indulging arbitrarily unlikely scenarios. These protesters are attempting to use brute force to give their horrible ideas more salience than they'd get in a fair intellectual forum, and that's not fair to people who actually want to learn about the far more well-established ideas that we've honed over thousands of years.
China lacks DST, and I swear the sun is out at 4AM in the summer. I guess the problem is that the time zone is already biased so that the sun is out at 6:30ish even in the winter, it just rises earlier in the summer. And that’s just for Beijing of course, the whole country is under one giant time zone.
There's also the issue of longer sleepers likely //needing// it for some reason (I hypothesize to fight off a disease).

The sound of the study is retrospective (looking back) instead of controlled; so they probably didn't do anything to account for if someone was already healthy or sick before enforcing a sleep duration.
A possibility: People with high IQs notice patterns (with a higher fidelity) that are not noticed by people with lower IQs.

Thinking in terms of a bell-curve probabilistic distribution: If there is a baseline cultural perception (reality, narrative) shared by the majority of people, those with high IQs will notice the degenerate patterns, hypocrisies, and general systemic issues with the baseline.

One would need to live with these forces out of one's control. There are many strategies. Some involve exploiting information asymmetries, some involve creating a worldview (i.e. ethics, facts) that justifies these issues, some involve taking actions to improve the conditions of the individual & collective.

If one creates a personal worldview that is full of contradictions & unresolved paradoxes, then anxiety occurs.
We haven't even gotten to evidence of causality yet.
I think students should definitely be able to offer polite feedback to their professors, like you describe. However, students definitely shouldn't be in a position to dictate the curriculum, which I think is more what the grandparent was talking about.
