Well, it might be more than just 'high-quality' schools, but maybe that is necessary. That way you release the kids from their uneducated parents in some respect.

The problem with uneducated parents is that they are still very valuable for the children in terms of emotional development. The problem however is, that they tend to make critical mistakes which sometimes affect the children's development.

And to bridge those two aspects, this 'high-quality' school model might be a very good answer.

Just to be clear: Not all uneducated parents are the same and some of them might be very good parents, its just that the probability of finding problematic behavior is much higher for uneducated parents.

Scale that to a VERY large application. There are lots of applications where class names and even hierarchies get re-used by other teams working on another portion of an application. In practice, CSS blows up, other portions of the app stop working correctly. Yes, you CAN use discipline in order to create good applications with jquery and others.

In the end, I'll take my single state tree (source of truth) and one-way rendering path, and find it much more sane, without weird state and interaction bugs that show up.
How do you know? Other comments have pointed out that Intel was aiming for Optane DIMMs with a read latency half of the current RAM.
I concur. I would love to purchase a MacBook WOZ. While we're on the Woz theme, I'm imagining such a laptop to have a design reminiscent of the Apple IIgs with the beige color, the stripes, and the rainbow Apple logo, but thin enough to be able to fit into one's backpack (about the same thickness and weight as the pre-Retina MacBook Pro). Bonus points if it had a traditional non-chiclet keyboard, and even more points if it has Woz's signature somewhere to the side of the trackpad.
They lose a lot of information artificially classifying a continuous variable (% change) into 3 bins (high/medium/low) instead of trying to do regression on percent change. This incorrect practice is surprisingly prevalent in deep learning.
Clang, Firefox and LibreOffice are all likely to be in distro packages themselves, so their build dependencies have to be there as well. Building something of similar complexity that isn't already packaged would be a fairer test.
What I really like about this is how short, and readable, the patchset for the feature is.

Sure, it lacks tests - and it's had a couple revisions since… but it's something to behold.

functional code is VERY maintainable... If you built it to be thrown away, or replaced, that tends to make it more maintainable. Making something testable, even if you don't write tests, leads to better code.

Or hell, just look at Voat's /v/all page. I just took a look myself, and I saw page of posts that included two posts from a Pizzagate sub, a comic that refers to refugees as "rapefugees", and a self post which unironically used the phrase "anti-White". I only saw one post that looked like it was from a general-interest sub (/v/JustGrowIt); everything else -- even posts from humor subs -- was unabashedly political.

There's one saving grace, and that is that there's very little overall activity on the site. The day's top posts on /v/all have scores in the low hundreds -- the equivalent page on Reddit has scores in the hundreds of thousands.
No. this is exactly wrong. speculation is useless. We know on equal terms, Cisco and Juniper probably had backdoors because of the NSA. Do we stop using them?

The joke here is, that the Chinese don't share intelligence with anyone else: arguably, if they do see our packets, less people see them because the NSA share with their strategic partners, and with the FBI!
What’s interesting to me is that YouTube is more popular than Facebook.

I realize that Facebook gets used a lot on mobile phones and that overall it’s probably more popular. But it’s still incredible that YouTube.com is more popular than Facebook.com.

Security? Whose official vehicles are in the basement parking lot?

According to the register, a Mr. Nakamura from the Treaties Bureau and a Dr. Willis, sir.

Get me the video records of their entrance.

Again. In infrared this time.

One thousand, one; one thousand, two; one thousand, three.

Now get the records of the pressure sensors for basement parking stalls B8 and B7.

Major, this is Togusa, Code 09.

What's up?

Does that Nakamura guy have a special-order cyborg body?

No, there aren't any cyborgs in Section 6. They don't even ship them to serve overseas because they're too hard to maintain. There's diplomatic considerations too.

Then, even if the other guy that was with him is a cyborg, the two of them together couldn't weigh over 1,000 pounds.

Ah, you checked the pressure sensors in the parking structure, didn't you?

Right, but neither man looks like the type to drive himself. The security cameras show only two people. But remember how sensitive the sensors on the entrance doors are? They took a full three seconds longer than usual to close after the two went in. And it's illegal to use therm-optics inside government facilities.

It's a serious violation of the National Security Act. Section 6 must be up to something. Are you ready?

Google is quietly formulating a new strategy for China
It fails.

In the special school, 100% of the kids/parents actively took an interest in education. In the alternatives, less than 100% did.

School quality is largely determined by the students in the school. This doesn't just mean that the performance of student X is determined by student X caring about school. The performance of student X is also determined by the fact that student Y cares or doesn't care about school.

So in all the non-special schools, there exist the sort of uncaring disruptive students who will drag down everybody. It isn't that the special school is itself somehow wonderful, but that the bad influences are excluded.

Simply put, one can not scale this solution. Providing the supposed quality school to everybody is not possible because the quality of a school is largely determined by the students.

White kids already receive this kind of treatment signficantly more often than children of color. This underlies the aforementioned achievement gap.

Curious -- is this something that you're not aware of? I find it odd that you end your post with "of white students receive the same treatment?"
Speaking of Steve Jobs..
I have been using the Pomodoro Technique with good results for a while now. What it helps me with is to get started. I noticed that my reluctance to get started increases proportionally with the complexity/difficulty of the task. However knowing that all I have to do is just spend half an hour on TRYING to make progress makes a big difference. This concept of trying instead of the pressure of solving the problem outright made a big difference in my motivation.
Really great news, and heartwarming to see so many people pulling for her.
I wish the opposite. Education should be entirely apolitical and atomized to give those with the most skin in the game the most control. Traditionally, this has been the American way and I do not find a more politicized approach has gained us anything other than divisiveness and contention. The more local the matter, the less the Rs and Ds matter and the more the actual names and people they represent do.

I do this by literally writing, in plain (albeit sometimes colourful) text, what I was doing at the point I had to stop. Then when I come back to it later and hit build, the compiler reminds me where I left off.

I'm not familiar with any legal or otherwise definition that constrains what services a school can and cannot provide. There are in fact high-quality boarding schools in Europe that provide all these services and more. (In fact they provide free housing to some of their students!)

I used it before then, but could see why a lot wouldn't touch it until well after 2013-2015 or so. Despite following and using pretty early on... it wasn't until 0.8 that a lot of the core issues were really resolved and it stabilized a lot at that point. The ensuing iojs split, joyent handoff, and node org was a lot of turmoil.

Add to that, the fact that NPM is its' own company, and not part of the Node Foundation could be mildly concerning.

Don't get me wrong, I love node/npm but it wasn't really a catalyst until a little later than 2009.
Oh, so it's a BOM? Why integrate it into the code unit if you're only going to have one of them?
This is already an option: `-ftrapv` or `-fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow`.

I find it amusing (and somewhat frustrating) that people who complain about risks from optimizations typically exhibit a lack of awareness of the tools that compilers already provide to diagnose related bugs.
Well, for the rest of the world the problem isn't as much the reputation of the Evening Standard as the reputation of the companies taking part in that project.
No, I was not aware that poor white students receive twice as much schooling, free meals, free medical care, free dental care, free mental health care, and vouchers for food and transportation for their parents. I am very much interested in more information on this topic and will gladly receive any substantiation you can provide for your assertion.

You are of course correct. Not only have I mistook precedence, but I confused the lower bit with the upper one where overflow occurs.

So the compiler optimizable fix is something like:
((x & INT_MAX) * 2) / 2 = x
It is not conforming, which is why `-fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow` is not enabled by default by ubsan. However it is available if you want to try it.
I am genuinely amazed by the stuff Amazon does sometimes. There are many times this would have made my life so much easier.

You live in a cartoon. There isn't some collective of rich white men ensuring that we keep people uneducated so that they can preserve their wealth. Wealth is not a zero sum game. Companies like Google and Apple don't benefit and get to keep their wealth by having an uneducated population.
That said, most <= VB6 apps I've ever seen didn't even handle, or enable a window resize properly.

You can do a simple web app with straight HTML, and a light web server app pretty simply. Not as simply, but simply enough if you wanted to.
I don't see how. Integer overflows still can be security issues even if they wrap.
Have you tried to create a more complex web page and have the web frameworks render that as well? Sometimes being the fastest at the most trivial request isn't enough, if it can't handle complex request fast as well.

Also, do you have a list of speeds for the frameworks you've tested?
> If execution efficiency is not a concern and you're using C

Two things.

Thing one: Execution efficient on super scalar processors is very unlike what you assume it to be. For instance you assume alignment makes you program fast, when in fact it makes it slower due to cache pressure.

Thing two: On lower end processors what's important is not speed but code size.

Thing three: (off by one error natch) The amount of critical C code is tiny tiny tiny compared to the amount of C code where execution speed just does not matter because the code is almost never executed. The bleeding hot sections are often rewritten in assembly (encryption cough decryption)

There's a lot that can be done to shrink a Rust binary[0]. A copy of the summary:

- Compile with --release.

- Before distribution, enable LTO and strip the binary.

- If your program is not memory-intensive, use the system allocator (assuming nightly).

- You may be able to use the optimization level s/z in the future as well.

- I didn’t mention this because it doesn’t improve such a small program, but you can also try UPX and other executable compressors if you are working with a much larger application.

This looks like a lot of fantasy confidence. For instance, even if you are quite rich, it's unlikely that Colgate-Palmolive would consider you really an "investor". And of course if you write something to the CEO his 10+ PR team will respond to you, maybe even with something that is signed by the CEO. But do you really think the CEO sits down to discuss shower thoughts about product ideas with you?

If you think that would make sense at all, you don't understand how big companies work. The big company is in the later phases of a snowball effect. It's a huge thing that rolls by itself and can't really be redirected, stopped or sped up by anyone. A CEO knows that. He's mostly concerned about internal politics and external representation. He's not really doing anything like develop new products. Companies like Apple that move from one big product line to another are very, very rare.

So, what you get is a PR letter that can contain some insights into their current strategy. But nothing of real value. It's unlikely that such a response contains anything one could learn.
There are drag/drop APIs defined... but people make abstractions... This happens even in desktop UI development. There are LOTS of front-end libraries.. but it takes a lot of effort to make them, so there are still far fewer.

The web is easily flexible, and configurable in terms of how you deliver your UX... you aren't hamstrung into creating something that looks like it was made in 1996.
The distro package manager is there to offer a menu of compatible known-good dependencies that you can readily adopt. It's a ton of work you don't need to do. If instead you bundle random stuff committed last month, you should have a compelling reason for beginning to maintain a half-baked distro all by yourself.
Thats very very interesting. Many thanks for sharing.

So its still a serialize/deserialize cycle, but the access libs built on top of the persistent memory look interesting.

You do realize that addressing the achievement gap is the point of both the school and the article, correct? It then makes sense to question if the gap might re-emerge if similar methods were applied to all students, does it not? I have no problem saying precisely what I mean to say.

You're asserting without any evidence that every student Y who "doesn't care about school" would not respond to the protocols described in this paper? This is an extraordinary claim and probably wrong. It needs to verified with data. The paper does provide the basis for a logical next step: imposing these protocols on all students in a region and measuring the impact.
I love how you simply declined the offer. What a balsy move.
> I'm not familiar with any legal or otherwise definition that constrains what services a school can and cannot provide.

It is important to note in a study where the abstract suggests a community focused approach is not necessary.

They should put in the abstract: Community approach not necessary if you get the school to provide the most critical community offerings.
>The problem is the C code that relies on it: effectively you are using a dialect of C which gives stronger guarantees, so you lose the ability to use any other implementation which doesn't provide those guarantees.

Exactly! Let’s leave education up to local government.

Why has this gone on so long? Surely the optics are worse than the revenue at this point. “We hear you, we are canceling this, we deeply apologize,” blah blah.
It can definitely be overwhelming. Try a spreadsheet for tracking, and a calendar app for scheduling. Figure out when you have time to offer, and suggest 2 or 3 times that work for you when scheduling. Don't offer the same times to others until you hear back. Religiously update and follow your calendar app.

For the spreadsheet, similar to mead5432's Trello suggestion, the columns could be:

Date applied | Date last contacted | Company name & role | Screen or interest | Challenge or coffee | Onsite | Offer | Accepted | Notes | Person contacted | Resume & cover letter links

Screen or interest, challenge or coffee, onsite, and offer are binary for me (X or empty), and can help you see if you're getting stuck on a stage. It can help clarify where you can focus your energy to get further. For example, tracking these things might help you realize you get few or no offers but many onsite interviews, and with that awareness you can focus on getting better at onsite interviews.

Absolutely right, because it takes much more thatn just a good school to eradicate poverty. If you really need to help children, you need to start by helping their parents: national healthcare and decent well paying jobs.

Parents will have time to dedicate to their children if they are not busy and drained struggling to keep their head above water.
