> I’ve been reimplementing some C projects in LuaJIT (more specifically, a dialect of Lisp that compiles to LuaJIT), and it certainly feels an order of magnitude less overhead to get work done.

It is interesting how perspectives change things, because I wouldn't be altogether surprised by that actually. I've used both C and Lua quite a bit myself (although not too much recently), and I can believe that. But if you substituted C for Rust, then I would look at it with great skepticism. That is, I don't see it as types-vs-not-types, but memory-safety-vs-not-memory-safety in addition to having a ecosystem that is very easy to draw on in a granular way.

And I didn't think you were too annoying. :-) Building an ffi layer over the csv crate would be cool. It would probably be easiest to do it over csv-core, and then build up the convenience abstractions on the C side (or perhaps even at the Lua level) and therefore avoid the csv crate entirely. csv-core will be simpler because it is designed to work in `no_std` environments, which means it never uses platform specific routines and never allocates. Still though, you'll probably need to find a way to amortize allocation on the Lua side.

Yeah, I mean I obviously very very very very strongly disagree. We are clearly polar opposites here. If I never write anything substantial in a unityped language again, it will be too soon.
The whole point of the article is that the definitions of monopoly abuse that underpin our existing laws are not broad enough.
The sad thing is that they have the math wrong. Whether you live or die depends more on what the other person is driving than what you are. Car vs. car both people live, truck vs. truck both people die. The extra mass isn't making you safer, it's just killing the other guy because there is a limit to how much total force crumple zones and other safety features can absorb.

> For example magic powers have slowly morphed from Gandalf style vague mutterings and the occasional flashlight to basically being programs that a wizard can download, swap, upgrade, etc.

That's a poor example, though, because that's closer to the classical depiction of magic than the "vague mutterings" type. The ancient Greeks and Romans had pretty firm rules on how to conduct prayers and ceremonies, how to handle certain mystical phenomena, etc., for example. In Western pop culture, magic being all about unexplainable forces was an invention of Victorian romanticism.

I have a suggestion, which others may have thought of: can you randomize the style using programs?

1. You write an essay.

2. [Word-level randomization] An algorithm looks at it, as a first cut, replaces uncommon words with common equivalents.

3. [Sentence-level randomization] Changes each sentence to a randomly selected grammatically correct equivalent.

4. [Paragraph-level randomization] Adds spurious repetitions, replace some paragraphs with automated summarized versions.

i.e. destroy the rhetorical effect, but get the message across so as to defeat NLP-based identification. If the content of the message is important, and the final version is okay to the author, this might be safer for anonymous disclosures.

Absolutely, people are vastly underestimating the social and health effects of loneliness.

Loneliness is the gateway drug to depression and resentment.

Of course, I am referring to unwanted loneliness here. I think people who are comfortable being alone for most of their lives aren't in the same category.
In recent years, shipping boats produce 3.1% of global yearly CO2 emissions, more than the entire country of Germany. In order to minimize their internal costs, most of the container shipping companies use very low grade fuel in enormous quantities, which leads to increased amounts of sulphur in the air, among other toxic substances. It has been estimated that one container ship can emit as much pollution as 50 million cars, and 60,000 deaths worldwide are attributed indirectly to cargo ship industry pollution related issues annually. Even industry-friendly sources like the World Shipping Council admit that thousands of containers are lost each year, on the ocean floor or drifting loose. holy crap...

Like tormeh said, it is really about situational awareness.

The best teachers I've seen have a constant vigilance and constant banter. Not complete military drill control like Mastery Charter Schools but not chaos. Somewhere in between. And, yes, they all called out the student by name. They, as tormeh said, knew each student's weaknesses and strengths intimately. Tough love.

One example:
One great teacher I know would go up to the whiteboard/blackboard, turning his back to the class, and, if he sensed "mutiny" in the making, he would randomly call out one of his student's names and ask them a question. He also said he had eyes in the back of his head, and I think the students believed that in the sense that he knew when they were trying to mess around.

My own example:

Teaching 10-12 girls CS which required laptop usage. It was really hard to stop girls from messing around on Facebook when I was on the other side of the "U" table, working the rounds. A better teacher would have managed that situation.

As an aside, this is why programs like ScriptEd work so well. They give "training wheels" to people who would like to teach CS to kids. ScriptEd has a system where everyone gets a chance to teach in front of the classroom. When you are not teaching, you are learning from the side/back of the room.
An Inverted Jenny Surfaces
The blame doesn't just go to crusty old mentors. A lot of the traditional approaches are much better than the fads that education academics try to push. If you look at Hattie's work, I'd say most of the highly effective techniques are more likely to be used in a classroom than advocated for by education academics.
The author’s purpose is to demonstrate how to do this in R, and is upfront on how this is purely for academic exercise since he is comparing an op-ed to tweets. Much of the article is dedicated to analyzing how the analysis failed (it ends up recommending that Trump wrote it largely because of the presence of Russia in both that twitter account and the op-Ed)

I still recommend giving the article a good scan.
In which case it's obviously broken from the get go.
Sorry, which part was confusing?
I guess things can technically break. I have not seen it happen yet though. The binaries have not been replaced, it's basically all just a bunch of $PATH overrides which you can easily and conveniently undo.

I switch between macOS and Linux on a daily basis. For me the benefit is in maintaining consistent dotfiles, scripts and workflow across macOS and Linux.

I was fully expecting comments on things breaking, and hopefully get something out of that discussion to improve the script (or maybe even deprecate it if it's demonstrably such a shitty idea).
If you are stretching limits of java, then you would need support because that knowledge base isn't available easily. I worked for a company that had performance engineers from sun on site helping us with performance issues.
You’re actually reiterating my point. Typical insurance, as you note, is for risks (e.g. your example of an accident). In other words insurance won’t pay out if you willfully intentionally caused the accident. Criminal acts necessarily imply intentional conduct.

The author wants to suspend imprionsment for this insurance based damages system. Between the difference in car insurance and this criminal conduct insurance I think it equals a right to commit crimes. We have a criminal and civil court system (think on OJ case acquitted in the criminal case and liable in the civil case). I think the proposal amounts to mandated “criminal insurance” which suspends then crimaljustice side of things and allows insurance companies resolve the damages from crimal acts.
To be honest, I've come to much prefer FF's devtools. You might want to take a look at [Firefox Developer Edition](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/), it adds quite a few nice features that are helpful for development. [This article](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/05/new-in-firefox-61-develope...) is a bit old, but a good look at the type of stuff that it adds.
> Tesla is working massive backlog of pre-orders generated by the hype associated with the company.

The Model 3 certainly smashed all records for new car reservations — 232,000 in two days, 500,000 by July 2017. (The previous record was for the 1955 Citroën DS that had 80,000 deposits during the ten days of the Paris Auto Show) [Says Wikipedia]

But these are by no means pre-orders. Refundable $1,000 deposits, of which about 25% have actually been refunded to date, it’s not so much of a hook when you can click a button to refund it, and the car costs $50k+

> There’s no world where 25,000 people a month are showing up and driving away with a car.

Do you dispute that 20,000 people showed up, paid $50,000+, and drove away with Model 3’s in August?

Do you think that number won’t be 25,000 in September?

You sound offended that Tesla has a hot product that people have lined up to buy. Yeah, they took pre-orders and people have waited years to get one. Because they want one. Because it’s like nothing else on the road today. Because, as the WSJ said, it’s a “rainbow-farting spaceship.”

This is the CEO that wanted his 3 models to spell S-E-X but couldn't because of Ford’s trademark, so he settled for “S3X”. You might not like his style, but you’re simply denying the reality of the sales numbers.

Intuitively, I use chrome only for non google pages and FF for google services. Is that a good approach?
Yeah, I've heard that argument as well, but I think it fails. As a math teacher myself, I would love it if kids would go read about the lecture at home and then we could work problems the next day. I try to do that anyway, but it's difficult when I've got a lot of material to cover and can't give them a day to practice after every lecture. Not to mention that a lot of kids don't know what they don't understand until they attempt to do it

There's a lot of truth in this essay but there are also a lot of unsubstantiated claims made by two people who clearly don't actually know how the Echo and Alexa are developed. The tone and language implies they know what they're talking about and express everything as fact even though they're completely wrong about some of it. The sensationalism and vilifying really detract from an otherwise important topic that should be discussed more: the environmental impact of modern technology and how sustainable it is.

A buffer overflow?
Financially, it doesn't make sense.
Getting into the car business would pull down Apple's stock. Apple is in a high-margin business. Autos are a low-margin business. When a high-margin company buys a low-margin one, the return on investment declines.

That's the reason Apple can't acquire other large companies. Few companies have Apple's margins. Most acquisitions would drag them down. Even if they're profitable.

I seriously doubt the first two questions can be solved via software, unless you want students to give up privacy in their own homes. There's nothing to prevent cheating and the student from using the internet or else.

As for meals, if you think software will cure all societal ills, then you might be the most naïve person alive. There are a lot of things software can do, but provide two free meals a day to students is not necessarily one of those things. Especially when getting meals to them outside the school year is more a political issue than a scholarship one.

As for your argument that an algorithm can do the same thing as a teacher, well, I'll believe it when I see it.

And I'm not arguing that the model we currently have is great. There's many ways it could be improved and fixed; but turning everything over to software is not the answer. Especially because kids need less interaction with software as it is, and more with each other.

Which brings me to the last topic... You're coming from an extremely privileged view if you think kids can get a lot of social interaction otherwise, especially when younger. Try living in a rural area without a car or access to someone to drive you around. Or in a neighborhood without many other kids. You're basically just stuck at home, with no interaction outside family. Which means even more screen-time, which means kids will be even more addicted and have even more problems with empathy and other skills that have to be learned from interaction.

Software can't solve every problem, and there's some that it shouldn't try to completely solve anyway. It can definitely be a great tool to help students learn, but it shouldn't replace classroom interaction, if only because of the social aspect of it and to decrease reliance on mobile devices and electronics.
Multiple users may use the same browser/devices but different Gmail accounts.

Even ignoring the (many) privacy implications, this causes problems for syncing across devices. Lets say I share a computer with my partner, but we have separate phones.

1) Unabomber was caught based on content more than style (his brother recognized the theme and called it in).

2) Unabomber sent a very long screed to NYT, not 140 characters.

3) Unabomber had a very unique theme, not an anti-Trump screed which is quite common. Which, based on that alone there is really no telling who did this because of volume of interested parties.

Hey, can't log me into Chrome if I don't have it ;)

Unless they also forced download and installation of Chrome. But nobody would tolerate that, right?
I agree, sadly its never that simple. I tried diligently (all in) to use Quantum when it came out, for over a month. It just wasn't stable/fast enough when running a larger number of tabs. I'm hopeful it will get there soon and I can ditch Chrome but its just not there for me, yet.
So... I just updated Chrome and restarted it. I'm signed in to my gmail and gsuite accounts. Other than my gmail interface being annoyingly updated without asking me, I'm not being automatically signed into Chrome.
Reminiscence has some advance features like auto-tagging, auto-summarization and archiving in various formats, which separates it from other bookmark managers.
