In fact, it seems so amateurish that I wondered if this was even real. Sadly, I see it reported by multiple sites.

Increased participation in AP Computer Science courses is only marginally beneficial, I think.

In high school I took the AP Computer Science course after working with Java for years, thinking it'd be an easy A. Was that ever far from the truth.

My issue was that the quality of the course was plain terrible. Any school in my state (North Carolina) which didn't have an in-person teacher could offer the class through our statewide online course program, and the state of the course on there was dreadful. Typos everywhere, incorrect and trick questions on the exams. A friend of mine in a similar situation as me had to email the instructor four times with the message "I DID include what you graded me off for, it's on line 44" before the instructor looked at line 44.

Broadening participation in computing is crucial, but we also need to devote serious attention to cleaning up the curriculum. If we don't, we'll end up making more kids hate Computer Science than like it.
I've eaten food cooked in this way including bread baked by making a fire, letting it die down, keeping the embers going nicely and then covering it with sand, placing the bread in a cloth on top of the hot sand which is then covered in sand and left.

It was basically an oven.
Depends on exactly what the rule is. If the rule is something like, “any view where the customer is choosing a movie to watch, you have to show at least thirty percent local films,” Netflix would not need to trim the catalogue. They could just repeat the same ten Belgian films on every page. #ThanksEU
I want the state telling companies that they need to operate within some constraints. We do this all the time, for all kind of industries.
Heaven forbid a foreign company knew about my heart rate and age.
If you take even broader view, all life on Earth will die when our dying Sun expands itself and burn Earth. To me that's equivalent of life without meaning or purpose, but that might be just my narrow view. Also possible is - another species, probably if challenged enough will evolve to be smart enough to escape, colonize the galaxy or whole universe.

But we still have a good chance! Let's not focus at what is broken, failed or doomed but rather what might give us better chance achieving this. It can be supporting some moral company (not necessarily SpaceX but possibly a good example), or not supporting one that is oblivious to environment and our future and has the only focus to make money at all costs. it can be just about being a good person to everybody out there.

Tiny steps can lead to great future... maybe I am naive, but does it really matter in this specific topic? We have no clue about future, which decisions will be important and which not.
That's the token diversity movie that doesn't move one iota the cultural representation of how people in Africa feel, what they think, how they live and so on.

Not to mention that without the token gestures to american black rights references, it's a totally sterotypical superhero movie, with the same cliche manifested destiny for the hero, the same cliche choices, etc.
How has SEO changed? And what are current Ranking Factors?
The A version has been around as long as the AB version. For those unfamiliar, A is roughly equivalent to 1 college semester and AB was roughly equivalent to 2 college semesters, just like AP courses for other subjects.

I was a developer in various imperative/OO languages already before I took the AB course, and I still found it to be challenging.

I think for many that have never done any programming or CS, the A version course may still be decent. It does fall short under Big O, but there should also be some extra buffer time to do something else in the year outside the AP material. That depends on the quality of the instructor though.

I've been using this for years – it's not the end of web development but an awful lot of projects don't need more framework than can fit in a tweet:

let $ = (selector, scope=document) => {
return scope.querySelector(selector);
};

let $$ = (selector, scope=document) => {
return Array.from(scope.querySelectorAll(selector));
};
> if the demand were high

Culture is not just about satisfying demands, it's also about giving people the opportunity to stumble across things they weren't even looking for, and so enrich themselves in unexpected ways. As a teenager I had no particular desire to go looking for ancient harpsichord music, difficult jazz, sombre poetry, magnificent choral worship or even five-minute recordings of nothing but church bells ringing. But I found them just by twisting the radio dial late at night and discovering things that would never get airtime in a purely commercial setting. The fact that these things are paid for by a "tax" that many are still strongly opposed to, is something I would strongly support in a more modern media context.
Does the law mandate that the movies be good? Because you can just set up a webcam, chunk it into 2 hour pieces, and call it a movie.
For others who may be curious, outdoor mean CO2 concentration is currently 410 ppm.

CO2 concentrations under 1000 ppm are described as having 'good air exchange'. CO2 between 1500-2000 is unpleasant, causes drowsiness and feels stale and gross. 5000 ppm is the typical workplace health limit.

Some guidelines are based on 1950s air quality, which had 250-350 ppm CO2. Today, you need more circulation to maintain acceptable CO2 levels than you did 50 years ago because the outdoor air has a higher concentration.
Rather than some American corporation, yes.

> Unfortunately, these sentiments are probably the only reason otherwise-average people - the kind of people who don't care about recompiling the kernel for their phone, on their phone,

I guess that's true, but these people probably will not be the driving force of the community around the phone. They'll be helping sustain the vendor financially, which is also valuable though.

I already have a mobile device to play with with a similar design to this phone, that has a separate 3G modem and can also be made to make calls. It's a bulkier 7" tablet. It will never get an opensource GPU driver, and suspend to ram is also out of the question for now. But it's fun to play with and explore.

Recently, I had fun with adding touch UI support for u-boot, to implement a boot menu and some battery indicator:

https://megous.com/dl/u-boot.mp4

Also if you drop the typical Linux userspace, and replace systemd with a custom init binary, create a DRI based UI app it's possible to get cold boot times to useable GUI in 1-2 seconds from pressing a button. So I'm excited for what will be possible to do if the hardware of that phone ever materializes.
I chat with friends, online or in person. I watch great movies, documentaries and tv series from around the world.
> 30% of movies in Indiana need to be created in Indiana

Seems like the media production is pretty centralized in the US. It's hard to compare with Europe, where most nations have different languages, their own TV stations (producing their own content) and their own funds to support productions of movies.

It would be a shame if these biotopes of media production would get dried out because of US monopolies.

At least for Netflix I know that they license movies/tv shows produced in my country and they actively recommend it to me.
I might fork this and add other Lang support. I like the minimal `write to a file, eval, and display` approach. The execNotebook function would need modifications
There should be a whole industry around this, like naming prescription drugs.

Besides concerning just comics (and including titles that have insignificant circulation) the list is from all over the world. You thought Brazil and Mexico don't have their own superheroes in comics? That's not really what was asked.
Yeah, I guess it is a tradeoff between engineering productivity and performance. Both are features. Past a certain level of complexity it is usually the correct decision to choose the framework and toolchain so that you can deliver and maintain features at all. "Make it work -> make it good -> make it fast" is very relevant here.

Though I agree about what you're saying for blogs and other content sites, where the tradeoff is clearly inappropriate in a lot of cases. With that said, things like https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ offer an interesting '3rd way' here, allowing you to keep the productive toolchain and framework stuff but still serve a blazing fast static content site.

The main problem is copyright. I want do a film, and all the limitation that come with stop me for doing so.

We can't film any part of the world without need to pay someone else. You have a car in your movie? ok go ahead and pay for "using it"

This is non-sense. I watch too many low documentary that need to apply black stickers and this make me feel sad.
For every Startup raising $X million in funding there are probably a thousand solo entrepreneurs bootstrapping their way into profitability.

The spotlight only shines on "Startup X raises millions in new round".

Far easier is to just look at the smudge patterns on the screen.
No, I want the state deciding that people with minority interests still have the possibility of watching what they want alongside all the more commercial offerings. And I want the state providing those who don't think they like those minority offerings with an opportunity to experience them and be pleasantly surprised.
My school did not offer the course, but I was allowed to take some basic computer related course and just self teach myself the curriculum in the corner of the room and take the test on my own in 2012. I have never formally studied computer science but I think it was a reasonable curriculum. It was all java based. It primarily emphasized the basic concepts of OOP, testing if you can work with a basic API, and designing some recursive algorithms to solve a problem.

I took 11 other APs, and felt it was comparably deep relative to the other tests. Generally I thought the AP classes were very effective as mature 101 introductions to the subject matter. Computer Science has a rough time because many students may reasonably be well beyond its expectations before even starting the course unlike one may expect for, say, Chemistry or Calculus. But I thought it was great for those who didn't already have the background.
$1 billion for a video streaming service?? Are these people actually insane? I don't see any way they will make back that much money with a service in a completely oversaturated part of the internet where YouTube, Netflix and other streaming services are pretty much meeting every desire any customer would have.

I mean, power to the people that have invested, but this looks like an investment graveyard.

Does this affect other "streaming services" like Bitchute, Steemit and D-Tube?

For them to evade this proposed regulation, is to ensure that they don't produce "THEIR" own content to sell?

I suppose YouTube Premium falls under this?

An extremely good environment takes away any sort of existential risk in your endeavour of life, therefore reducing one’s ability to ever take any sorts of risks.

It can't work mathematically unless it is from any EU country. There are more than 3 EU countries, which means that eventually you will get some great content from some other country that you are not allowed to access. That is 30% Irish, 30% French, 30% German, and 30% Italian content already doesn't add up, meaning some things that you personally might want from a different country are on the list of things you are not allowed to access even though the streaming provider you are on has all rights.

If it can be from any EU country, then the country will be France. France already has laws like this and has historically invested in their content industry, so it should be (should) fairly easy to license that content and fills the requirements.

> All these companies tried to improve the experience and reduce costs, regardless of the nature of the business being internet or manufacturing based.

No, Theranos did not do that. They claimed that's what they were trying to do, but they were, in reality, marketing a fraudulent product that did not work.

This is very simple. It is also a very important distinction, and it's worrying that many people here seem not to get it. This is not a "they tried and failed with the best of intentions" situation. This is not a typical failed-startup situation. This is not a product-market-fit issue.

This is a company that claimed to be improving the state of the art but was actually engaging in a deliberate deception.

You don't have to know the "motive of the people involved" to understand that Theranos' situation is fundamentally ethically different from that of a well-intentioned company that was unable to deliver on its promises. This isn't a difference in degree (of money involved or people defrauded or whatever), it is a qualitative difference. It's deeply disturbing to me that yourself and many others seem unable to see that.

All of these things are true, but that still doesn't make what the EU is doing, good. They're just forcing the providers to spend money in Europe. What makes you think European productions won't fall prey to exactly the same problems?

This is purely an exercise in the EU seeing that it can control foreign companies using GDPR and thinking "hey, why don't we use this to force companies to give us money".

Also:

> I wonder when will this fallacy of "the market works to fulfill the interests of the customers" die out ...

Just because it's flawed, doesn't mean it isn't mostly true. The market is far from perfect but that doesn't mean it doesn't still fulfil customer needs. It just doesn't fulfil all of them, fulfils them in an inoptimal way, and so on.

I'm always amused by the constant hating on Tesla while they at least manage to ship and have products that aren't just announcements and just have issues with scaling up and some parts of the hull not being perfectly aligned while everyone else is just showing off prototype after prototype, luxury cars or overpriced entry level cars that don't even come close to Tesla's mileage.

Faraday Future and Lucid also don't seem to be able to get their act together.

This leaves just Tesla, Chevy with Bolt and VW with the E Golf.

I'd also be surprised if Tesla wasn't going to end up being the quasi monopoly battery manufacturer in the long run.
When I am having difficulty naming things its usually because I am trying to be too concise. In my experience its always better to be more verbose and accurate than to spend time trying to be clever and end up with something I don't remember what it does but its called newSlide.

Yes.

When you have a style guide - test for it, if the test fails, then fail the style linter job and don't allow the change to be accepted.

It's failed to meet your acceptable code criteria after all.

If you find you are making your code unreadable just to pass, then your style guide is wrong. That needs fixing, not the CI job.

If you find an urgent "this needs to merge, style rules be dammed" change, allow your senior team members to overrule the style CI job and merge it anyway.
Free markets are effective but need regulation at some point to prevent them becoming abusive monopolies. The EU collectively represents the interests of its citizens and is telling large media that if they wish to make money off EU customers then they should at least buy some local produce.
I'm not sure how this is any worse than limits providers already put on the movies and television shows that they make available in different regions. Except this one aims to promote local material vs just locking certain content away for various other reasons (copyright, studio or provider marketing decisions, whatever). It's not like you had free choice of material before this, if Movie X isn't available in your region for any other reason you'd still have to find it elsewhere.
> Netflix attempted to challenge the Commission’s support of Germany’s move to support its local film industry in the courts, arguing it countered EU law on state aid.
But in May the European General Court dismissed its appeal against the EC decision — saying its action was inadmissible as Netflix has no legal standing to challenge the decision.

It seems patently ridiculous that Netflix does not have standing here. The law directly affects Netflix, in a negative way. How could they not have standing?

Smalltalk is one of those things I want to learn, but resources seem sparse and everyone seems to be pushing their own particular flavor of Smalltalk. Do I go with Amber Smalltalk? Squeak? Pharo? Are they all sufficiently similar that I can move from one to the other without re-learning everything?

I'm honestly considering just going through the GNU Smalltalk manual on the terminal and worrying about all the graphical VM's later.

9 Most Ingenious Ways People Have Illegally Mined Crypto
I like the idea of software, libraries and application code all being accessible to each other and have the ability to call each other. Too much functionality is siloed behind application A or B, and the interface exposed by these applications is often woefully inadequate for anything interesting. You see this a lot with smaller projects, where they need to focus on getting the product feature complete as well as with much larger projects, where lock-in becomes a supposed requirement. The space in the middle seems to be ever shrinking.

I like the idea of everything being written in the same language and the code being accessible to anyone who is interested. That you can then open any running code in a debugger to see how it works, or in the integrated IDE to alter it's behavior, is very appealing. For sure the ability to edit anything at anytime can lead to instability but there are ways to ameliorate that without being as dramatically inaccessible as today's environment.

I do feel that even in a modern Linux desktop environment (the only place where we might expect to see any Smalltalk-like accessibility and functionality), so much work needs to be done slogging through different languages to figure out how things work. Your email application might be developed in Vala, a lot of library code is in C or C++. Many tools turn out to be written in Python or Ruby or even in a shell scripting language. While it makes things more interesting for the career software developer it's clearly making things harder for the end-user who needs to alter a subtle behavior in an application they use every day; so much so that the idea of actually making that change seems foreign to, well, everyone.

Smalltalk has it's obvious problems and warts and I can see why we aren't using it today. But in many ways, the Smalltalk we are looking at today is the very same Smalltalk detailed in the article, which is very similar to the Smalltalk of 1984. Work has been done and I do not wish to cast shade on projects like Pharo, which are doing some heavy lifting with their work on the language, compiler and runtime. But it seems to me that Smalltalk as a whole is moving away from the "anyone can use a computer" target and more towards the developers, where it may well end up another provider of a single application that is siloed away from the rest of the customer's environment rather than that environment itself.
As a US citizen, I do on fact care.
I don't see much value in using protectionist policy to prop up entertainment that can't compete on its own. Is this content even any good?

It's not like content can't come from Australia that can compete on its own, like AC/DC and The Crocodile Hunter. If anything this policy is probably holding back such greats from happening because it's easier to just meet the lower bar of participating in the Australian content quota.
