I understand your position: talking/speaking is even a subset "actions", so it makes sense that the actions are more affective and informative - either directly or over time when your children reach different stages in life and understanding. I do have eureka moments about my parents' behavior at times, but sometimes hearing them say why behaved as they did / acted as they did / setting an example or a construct for me to live in, is very useful. It can be a fun conversation. It's as though you wait until the words will be truly meaningful.
Mobile may be "decelerating", but the replacement cycle is shorter and even the poorest people in the world who will never buy PCs are already buying phones. The market is much bigger.

How are you measuring the same level of motivation?

From my anecdotal experience, the people taking the "live, guided course" have committed to:

- synchronous attendance at a particular time, probably at a particular place
- probably a dollar investment
- face-to-face contact with instructor
- near-traditional learning environment

People taking a MOOC have committed to:

- browsing on an electronic device

There's generally a really high barrier to entry to the synchronous, guided learning, so it seems like comparing students who have paid tuition and enrolled in a class vs prospective students expressing interest on a university recruitment page.
Yeah, sweet memories of FORTH, but 20 KB is not something one wants to "waste" bytes and you would need a few of them for the dictionary and basic words.
OP here. We are a school that is completely free and takes a percentage of income (though for two years, not for life). Even still the $400 to make it through the last month was a barrier.

We’re working on having a fund available for living expenses, but “I’m going to pay you cash so you can go to school” is a different risk profile than “This School is free until you’re hired.”
Sometimes there's like a 2 second delay for the redirect :/
Yeah, conversion fail on my part. OTOH, I would not be surprised at all if the difference in known deposits was more than 1000x in favour of coal, if only because we have been looking for it for so long. 300-1000x does make process throughout and efficiency a bit harder to match though.

- 80% of the article: complaining about Slack

- 20% of the article: pretending to write a bot (and never actually writing a bot) that does about 1% of what a bot on Slack can do

Article title: "How to write an IRC bot"

I've personally written a (admittedly crappy) four-way integration between Slack, IRC, XMPP, and Telegram [1]. IRC and XMPP are consistently the worst protocols to write for if you want anything but plain text. And believe you me, people do want something besides plain text.

And don't get me started on clients for those :)

Funnily enough, irccloud is basically trying to do what Slack is doing, only with IRC: a web-based interface, with private channels, embedded media, etc. The only way to ,enjoy all that is to use the web-based clients, etc.

I got similar advice from my parents and followed it, somewhat bitterly. My dad regrets dropping out of college, but he also paid $400/semester for tuition, not $20,000 like I did. I feel like "any degree == $$$" was much more true in the 70s and 80s than it was when I graduated.
Last time I checked it still compiles and runs fine on modern Debian systems. The only caveat is to edit its configuration file to look for (if necessary) the actually installed version of Lua.

> Searching for relevant mentorship is a very very hard problem.

I completely agree. As someone just reaching a bit over 3 years out of a bachelor's program, I had no one that I could talk to for a solid 20 years of my life about computers, let alone what I wanted to do. Like a bunch of people here, computers were my "thing" but no one around me seemed to take much interest in them. When it came time to go through the college hunt in high school, my mother had no idea what to tell me since although she had a background in math, she worked as a lab tech, social worker, and teacher. I ended up railroaded onto a liberal arts education until I reached my community college, where I encountered people - not just professors - who knew that the magic hardware box could do other things besides send and receive email. I didn't even know it was POSSIBLE to get a degree in computer science until community college, and later interacting with people I met from video game communities. I still couldn't actually get my bachelor's in computer science for financial reasons (have a LibArts BA), and even with knowing about CS as a path, I didn't have anyone who could help me or even just talk to about what to do. Professors at my university didn't know what to do with me, and the university career center tried to shove me into roles like inner-city teacher, advertising, and camp counselor.

It wasn't until two years ago that I became good friends with someone who had been through a lot from his college to several jobs in industry, and he helped me get on track to doing something I wanted to do. Went from a dead-end job doing forced cowboy coding and data entry at a small insurance company to QA automation at a nice software company that works in the transport industry. Even now, I wouldn't really consider him my mentor because I know he's got a lot more work responsibility than I do and I don't like asking him questions that remind him of work, especially since he's my friend first. I firmly believe that if I had someone LIKE my friend as an actual mentor earlier in my life, I'd have been studying things I liked doing way earlier.

EDIT:
Something that occured to me after I hit submit is that I still feel that I don't have an actual mentor, yet many articles/blogs and people I've spoken to insist that it's easy and almost natural to find and have one, be it at the workplace or somewhere else; any articles I've read or listened to (example of the latter being the Hello World Podcast) about people who have done it without mentors were people who grew up with computers/programming texts in the home. I'm still not sure if this is a reality or something that happens to maybe 5% of the programmer population.

> Signal is a proof-of-concept application that Open Whisper Systems uses to show off and sell their technology to other chat companies like how they have been doing with WhatsApp[2], Google[3] and Microsoft[4].

This is a very uncharitable interpretation. Signal is arguably more secure than the competitors you mentioned, not just a "proof-of-concept".

Asana’s Rise to a $900M Valuation
> A stock (or a fund) has an average return of 0%. It moves on average 1% a day in absolute value; the average up move is 1% and the average down move is 1%. It does not mean that all up moves are 1% — some are .6%, others 1.45%, etc. Assume that we live in the Gaussian world in which the returns (or daily percentage moves) can be safely modeled using a Normal Distribution. Assume that a year has 256 business days. The following questions concern the standard deviation of returns (i.e., of the percentage moves), the “sigma” that is used for volatility in financial applications. What is the daily sigma? What is the yearly sigma?

Doesn't excuse the wrong answers, but the question has been engineered to make it look like the answer is in the question.

As for me, I have the suspicion that at least part of the wrong answers are more laziness than ignorance. I think that at least some of the people who answered wrong on some random questionnaire because they couldn't be bothered do some calculations, would do the calculations if their money depended on it.

I'm not sure I learned anything from this, other than "Nassim Taleb invented a question that bets on you having the intuition that standard deviation is the mean value of the absolute distance to the mean" and being lazy.

EDIT: The proof that this question is betting on people's laziness and he knows it is the fact that in the question he presents not one but TWO things which are completely irrelevant to his point. One is the number of days in the year, the second is that he asks for yearly sigma. But notice that neither of those are relevant for his point, which is that people have the intuition of "standard deviation" as "mean absolute deviation." They are only there because if they weren't and people would just asked for "daily sigma" they would think "the answer is in the title, there must be a trick, oh wait a minute I got it". So not only he's betting on your laziness but additionally he's making all he can to tip the scales in his favor.
mIRC scripts is what you meant, right? That's basically how I started in programming.

One of the things that certainly contributed for keeping my interest in programming was the quick feedback. No need for confusing setups, just open the editor and start doing something. I know a lot of people that started this way and are good programmers nowadays.

So does this mean the tuple preserves the type of its members unlike an object[]? What's a situation where you would want to take a collection of objects that don't even share a common interface? (Not bashing tuples, very curious about the benefits of this.)

Edit: I think I understand tuples when you're using them as return types like (MyClass class, Exception e), which can already be done with Tuples just without the nice syntax. But I'm confused about generically taking or returning an ITuple you know nothing about.

I have a Nexus 5X that was 2 years old late last year. At that time I git it's last major OS upgrade. (It will continue to get security updates for another year or so.) This is as good as it gets in the Android world.

It was hobbled at the outset with 2GB RAM. At introduction performance was adequate. It has degraded since then. There are times when I exit an app and it takes several seconds before the home screen is populated. Navigation normally runs in the background but if I open a different app, it may get bumped and disappears from notifications. I listen to podcasts frequently and its background process (the part that keeps audio going if I open other apps) gets bumped.

These are not related to processor horsepower but I believe are symptoms of insufficient RAM. It could also result from additional installed applications, but I have uninstalled more than I have added and it seems not to improve.

Maybe it's time to look at third party ROMs.

I know that I can extend my irssi client with plugins needed to preserve history, flag stuff, save in database by triggers, then export that in whatever way I want and serve to the users.

Personally, I’m quite happy that this supposed Hell turned out to be a myth.
I think the time commitment is the biggest issue. Let's assume the costs are the same to me (perhaps due to employer subsidy):

When I take a MOOC, I'm pledging at least 5 hours a week. That covers 2 hours of videos, 2 hours of homework and 1 hour of additional research / review.

If I pledge 5 hours /week to a traditional class, I don't get nearly as much learning. I have to commute to the class, which is at least 30 minutes each way. Now my 5 hours buys me 2 hours of class, 2 hours of commuting and 1 hour of homework. I've lost an hour of homework and an hour of research.

I know which one is better for me.

> I think what's wrong with that is you assume that teachers even can teach your child things that even you weren't good at or can't even remember.

Teachers taught me things my parents were not goot at and did not remembered. Right now, teachers are teaching my kids things I was never good at. A math teacher I know (friend) it teaching kids math they parents down know - right now. And I met kids, they do know that stuff.

So yes, teachers can teach kids what kids parents don't know.

In your attempt to defend teachers, you made them sound to be completely useless. Some are, but plenty of them are not.

I collect single-file language implementations. None in my collection (so far) use Lua, but I'm always on the lookout.
I'm not so concerned. I think the only thing that would kill Slack is financial factors (financing if it turns out people don't want to pay for it anymore) or bureaucratic factors (if it gets acquired and then mired in corporate stupidity). I think Slack did the favour of proving to the world that people wanted something more than IRC or Skype.

If Slack dies for any of the above reasons, that won't cause people's need for a solution to disappear. I imagine Mattermost would survive just fine. If Mattermost dies, it will be because something came along that's better, similar to how I started out with ICQ, then jumped to MSN Messenger, and now I'm on Whatsapp, WeChat, Kakao Talk, Slack, and Mattermost. Same for Slack. If Slack dies because of better competition, perhaps we'll shift to that away from Mattermost. Who knows?

Gah, how is it possible that the number of chat clients I use keeps growing?

Our small intestine is long, compared to the colon, precisely because we've evolved on meat-based diet. By the time the "meat" reaches the colon, there is barely anything left because the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine.

As opposed to our cousins the apes, who have larger colon and shorter small intestine because they evolved on a plant-based diet.
> I've shown IRC to people who love Slack and I usually get "Ugh, it looks so old fashioned and difficult to use" as a reaction.

This is the exact reason why I don't like Slack - It takes up WAY too much screen estate. At least with IRC I can format it in a way that I prefer, AND be able to use the rest of my screen for other tasks.
There have been quite a few studies that have done this in a scientific manner.

Internally we have taken sets of students that apply to our free “mini code bootcamp” and sent half to an archived version published each night and send the other half a live link that becomes an archive each night. So we didn’t control scientifically, jsut an AB test, but the shift has been breathtaking.

We can also take students that are struggling learning from our MOOCs and they finish the live course almost every time. I know the latter is unscientific, but it becomes obvious over time.

I would add that in general there is no one right abstraction. If you want to be able to change the source file, you are best of using symlinks. If you want to be able to change both files and keep them in sync, you should use a hardlink. If you want to create a true copy and modify them independently, just make a copy.
Also worth mentioning that most COW file systems support block level deduplication, so if enabled, two files with the same content will be stored only once.
I think that tangibility and playful feedback are great concepts for making the experience attractive - first superficially (how do you compete with iPad games :)), then deeper as a way to "see" the programming. I've brought in a GUI (Python's turtle [1.]) to help explore programs, computational and mathematical concepts, and to give more feedback and add another dimension.

The introductory programming course for the BS in CS I obtained taught Python and programming/cs concepts and used a robot (IPRE Scribbler 2 + Fluke 2 [2.]).

Coal (at least most of the time) comes from decaying plants.

Before the plants decayed, they pulled up all manner of minerals from soil. Rare earths behave similarly to iron, so if a plant can uptake iron from its soil (it can) then so can it uptake rare earths.

There are numerous instances of field reclamation from mercury contamination specifically by use of plants to leach the mercury from the soil, then harvest, burn, and safely dispose of the mercury concentrate.

Same story as this except the latter occurs in a human lifetime, and we want the mercury out of the soil for fundamentally different reasons.

Ask HN: What's the best cms for a grandma?
So I promised I'd make a website for my mother. I did that and created a very basic wordpress site for her to blog on and talk about her interests. The problem is she doesn't like wordpress and really it's way more advanced than she needs and I think that's where the problem lies. It doesn't help that I'm not super versed in PHP.

Now if I were to make a website for myself I'd probably use a static website generator or django. But I can't possibly expect that she'd be able to use these without my constant help. While she's reasonably tech savy for her age, she's still in her 60's. And I can't set her up with something like squarspace since she can just barely afford a shared server on her retirement income.

So now I'm looking for something that I can set her up with that can meet some basic requirements. Let me install it quickly and get a theme going in twig or some other theming language and provide a basic portal for her to log in and make blog posts/add pages and nothing else. I've been searching but I'm having trouble finding something that simple with documentation to back it up. So I thought I'd ask here.

What CMS would you recommend to a grandma?
