Just some feedback to share here for thoughts (I shared it in the survey): most of the time I didn't really care enough to give specific reasons why I did or didn't like something, and felt like it was a retention pain point in the survey.

If I like or dislike something, that should be enough. I know people want to know where things can improve, but honestly, a lot of the time the answer is "the whole damn thing is worthless to me, and there's too many cons to correct and not enough pros to validate its existence to me."

I realize that's not constructive, but if something is fundamentally unappealing, no amount of steering is going to fix that in my eyes.

In my country, EU privacy laws applied by our National Data Protection Commission have prevented and pushed back against multiple governmental plans (cameras on the street, sensitive questions in the census, mandatory reporting of certain personal banking data, etc). Is that an increase or a decrease in the reach and size of government?

Great survey, very excited to see the results.

The option of complexity really spoke to me. If you’re building a small one-off website, then you want something short of a framework like React, but something more modern than Jquery (manage state, reactive style programming). What can you use?

I feel modern client side JavaScript assumes you’re working on a large, long lived site that you plan to maintain. There’s no equivalent of “I just want to create something quickly for use by about 100-1000 people for a few weeks”

Apparently these require a substantial amount of maintenance, so it's remarkable what good condition this one is in.
Pennsylvania is the same - there is a $0.58 tax on a gallon of gas ($0.75 on diesel) that is used to fund the majority of the costs related to road maintenance. Wikipedia tells me that is the highest fuel tax rate in the country - the roads must be incredibly expensive to maintain in this state because they are generally in significantly worse shape than the roads in neighboring states.

It's a good indicator for an agency to contribute to their chosen platforms. It means they have been able to identify and fix an issue in a way that was sympathetic to the architecture. If you can see a plugin or module made for the target platform even better.

You don't want an agency that writes a bunch of code in their own way and bolts it into your framework, because when you change agency later the new agency will have to learn how to read their code plus the platform code.

I'm not going to debate this any further because it would be fruitless; you have clearly made up your mind.

However, I will point out that it sounds like you'd demand the right to angleshoot without limitations. The rules and policies are in place for a reason.

Betting on a contract after the outcome is known is not only dishonest (read: fraud), it's also the equivalent of trading with inside knowledge on a stock exchange. A betting exchange is not just expected, but in fact required to void such trades.

And stock exchanges also have their policies about voiding (or "reversing") clearly erroneous trades. Such rules are not exercised often, but they will be invoked to protect the integrity of the market place. In case of a betting exchange, if the odds for a contract are clearly out of sync with reality, then trades made on that would be expected to have been done in bad faith. For example: football match is 75 minutes in, home team leads 4-0. No pending penalties or cards. If at that point there were quotes on the winner market which put home team on a 5% probability to win the game, those would be obviously erroneus.

Funnily enough - and this is not something many people would think about - if a betting exchange did not have policies and practices in place to handle such situations, they could be considered to be neglecting their AML (anti money-laundering) controls.

This thread has reached the limits of its purpose. I'll shut up now.
What we get in USA is not news though. Esp on TV. It is weather, sports, gossip, fluff pieces, war/disaster/crime (typically non-local), political sound bites. With 1/3 to 50% ads depending on medium.

All those news types have better and or free sources. With more depth and detail.

Problem with tradituinal news orgs are that they attempt to serve everybody so is generic, shallow. And thus very low value. Very low.

While there is an art/talent to it, there are a lot of basics that are not followed by a lot of teachers.

Like ENUNCIATING. Like not putting students on the spot or saying "this is wrong, what is the matter with you" when given a wrong answer.

Balancing strictness with the level and audience.

Balancing between getting to a point and explaining some other details that might be important.

Trying to find a best way of explaining some concepts, maybe explaining it differently to different students.

Usually the higher the study level the worse the professors/instructor are at pedagogy.
Yep YouTube is recommending me Alex Jones videos and memes. They are just overflowing.
Not everything, but perhaps a description of most things.
Today, it seems we're approaching (if we're not already in) McCarthyism II. Except instead of being a top down thing, it's community-perpetrated. How many others have been silenced from major platforms that people don't know about because they're not as (in)famous as Alex Jones? I don't know, and I'd wager (a small amount) that you don't either.

The effects of that persecution are completely different. Sure, in the past you were more likely to be physically attacked for certain socially unacceptable beliefs. But nowadays, you're more likely to suffer long-term damage if you speak too controversially without taking great pains to hide your real identity, and even if you do the people who you anger with your speech may attempt to dox you anyway.

It's funny (in the sad way) that there are so many people of all types who will use certain "weasel" tactics themselves, but when their opponents use the same tactics, they scream "that's wrong, that's unfair, that's dirty". Almost like "the ends don't justify the means" has been perverted into "the ends justify the means only towards my opponents but never towards me".

I don't have evidence, no. But that's because this is a casual discussion for me.
Vuejs is a good option for lightweight websites. Just include the library as a <script> tag and you are good to go.

Another notable example of is the introduction to The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtUH9z_Oey8

Mellotron for use as strings is sort of a staple for Beatles inspired artists, see many tracks by Elliott Smith on XO and Figure 8 as an example. Also see Radiohead OK Computer as it is on many tracks.

All the non-linearities with the tape playback gives them a really unusual quality.
Third were the teachers “who can but won’t,” in Gunner’s phrase; these teachers had the capacity to become more effective educators but appeared to have no interest in doing so. They were already set in their pedagogical ways or didn’t think change at the school was necessary or possible or didn’t want to put in more effort.

There is a fairly simple solution here. Rather than improving the skills of people who aren't interested in improving, just fire them.
I've had a number of different people tell me I should become a teacher, that I'm really good at explaining things, and I'm still skeptical of the impact of teaching in general. I don't know how we're supposed to measure it. Controlling for the individual variation of the students themselves is a non-trivial problem. The best schools tend to be highly selective in their admissions and the worst students seem mostly unteachable.

I challenge anyone to take the best teacher they've ever met and put them in charge of a class full of students from the first percentile of test scores.
How to Prepare the Perfect Elevator Pitch
Thanks a lot for the great feedback!

1. I pushed a quick fix to make it look better on mobile. Thanks for the heads up!

2. Yeah, I see what you mean, and I'm definitely thinking about how to make the website much more browsable than an ordered list. I can see how the website can optimise access to books from a particular subject, and also how to get all the books, across universities, about the overall same subject, even though the latter is trickier as the courses names vary, etc

3. This is actually a great idea. I might put this in a publicly available GitHub repo (both the data and the website), which will also encourage more contributions!
Out of curiosity, do you have any specific proposals thoughts about what this centrally funded / non profit approach would look like, and why it would work?

"Like not putting students on the spot or saying "this is wrong, what is the matter with you" when given a wrong answer."

A wrong answer should never be a problem. Students are there to learn. If they know everything they can stay at home. They are in school to MAKE mistakes.

When this note was published in 2001, I didn't expect the tech to become that good that fast. I was wrong. (Not that I thought it wouldn't happen, just that there'd be more time.)
Aside from a moral basis for disagreement, a great number of people do not seem to be able to argue logically, or even civilly. That's nothing new, but I think the ease with which people can get a dose of outrage or confirmation is taking it to another level. If people are being encouraged or even subtly taught to become emotionally aroused faster, logical thinking and mutual understanding becomes harder to reach. It seems to me, more important than ever, that critical thinking needs to be a good part of the education curriculum.
While there is an art/talent to it, there are a lot of basics that are /not followed/ by a lot of shitposters.

“Note: to improve results relevance, we keep track of data such as your referrer, location, device, browser, and OS.”

Give me a break. Obviously not relevant for a survey. Only relevant for whatever bullshit they’ll do with this data later on, unrelated to the survey.

“To improve results relevance...” this is just pure contempt for site visitors.
Not really. Unless you love teaching you will always be a mediocre teacher at best. E.g., most teachers who say "Just google it" or "It is what it is" or "Its beyond the scope of this lecture" are generally not very good teachers. A good teacher is always inquisitive in knowing his/her audience, and formulating strategies to bridge that gap. The best teachers know exactly what the students struggles are, generally because they were in that same position as well. Great teachers formulate 100's of ideas and processes to identify which knowledge is worth telling at that moment, and which should be deferred for later. These same people will plan out exactly what the whiteboard will look like, before even lifting their marker.

I personally am not a great teacher... it doesn't excite me really. Partially because I have had to teach too many people that are not very good at picking up things, despite how many different methods I try. Also, because I've had to do a lot of sales work in my life... teaching is not that far different, having to repeat myself all the time can get frustrating. Plus, you don't get a return on investment on every student some are beyond help... and it makes you less inclined to want to teach others that are more capable.

There was a phase where I really enjoyed teaching but I am past that point now. I used to teach Elementary School/2nd grade at University, and did alot of tutoring from highschool to college. The passion might come again in the future, but its not today.

You don't have to be extroverted to be a good teacher, but you have to really enjoy planting ideas/seeds in others. Great teachers are also great storytellers too.

I wouldn't enjoy teaching unless it was paving a means for me to practice on making youtube tutorials, etc - where that content lives forever, and you no longer have to repeat yourself.

100-1000 people a week seems like a lot. I’m mostly into ”something to impress my friends and forget about in a month” which—in my utopia—would account for the majority of all websites.

But when I was most active in having fun building websites for fun and showoff, about 3 years ago, I would use [microjs](http://microjs.com/#) quite a bit. I don’t know if that is relevant anymore though

EDIT: Vanilla JS is also a good option and has been getting exponentially better over the years.
This article seems more like a profile than actually addressing the question raised in the headline. It is an interesting profile and I would guess that it is enlightening for people that haven't taught high school.

To answer the headline's question, as a former high school teacher and current college professor, I know that while a lot of teaching is about learning how to teach, I did have a leg up on a lot of my grad school cohort because I had a BS in English Education and had taken a number of education courses. That gave me some (admittedly limited) background in educational psychology and pedagogy that my peers who had never taught did not have.

However, there is a big gap between theory and practice and I think I learned the most about teaching by trying things and seeing what worked and what didn't. The most important thing is to resist the temptation to get lazy and just keep teaching the same things and the same way semester after semester and year after year.
The author promotes code generation as a practical solution to some problems — but doesn't mention the huge drawbacks for generics, which is why it's generally not used.

The reason is that while you can generate a specific implementation when you need it, all the client code will still be using non-generic code. You can't write a function that takes a Set(T) as argument, returns Set(T) as a return value, or receives a Set(T) from a called function — unless you make that part of your code generation pipeline. So the code generation becomes viral, infecting each piece of code that wants to be generic. The entire language needs to be transpiled.

You could lower the barrier considerably by supporting some kind of pluggable preprocessing ("//go:preprocess my_generics_syntax_plugin"), but you'd still run into the problem with combining packages from multiple sources that all wanted to share the same generic types. They would all have to be transpiled the same way.

JavaScript is a research language. We produce and throw away ideas quickly because we are exploring and testing.

No one should be using research software in production. If you want use JavaScript in production, use older, vetted libraries and use the smallest subset of API you can.

Basically: use good engineering practice.

You might be able to get away with not vetting your libs in other languages, but it will probably bite you eventually. And other languages might not force you to choose your building surface, but that’s probably just because there’s not much of a choice.

> what authoritative accounts have you used to dismiss the paper and the journal editor?

I read the paper and drew my own conclusion.

That snippet in context: "After the Middlebury fracas, in which none of the protestors had read the book they were protesting, we could make a real contribution here by insisting that all views be heard." That's just fancy language for "stir shit up." There's nothing there about the intellectual merit of Hill's paper, just an unobtainable value that "all views be heard."

People should read the paper to make up their own minds, though. I'm with her, there.
I see so many comments on HN arguing that being outraged about this type of thing and pedantically hammering on it even unto the detriment of your personal life is not worth it. Comments arguing the opposite get sanctimoniously downvoted, whether it’s prolonged outrage about police brutality, abuses of political power, unpunished fraud or privacy breaches, and so on.

But truly it just seems like sustained outrage is just not high enough to bring about justice.
> There is a fairly simple solution here. Rather than improving the skills of people who aren't interested in improving, just fire them.

Well, depends on the absolute quality level of these teachers: according to your statement, you would fire a good-but-not-great teacher who is not willing to improve and retain a mediocre teacher who is willing, but not capable, to improve.

You are really dealing with a confluence of events that are affecting local news outlets of all forms:

1. Increased general interconnected nature of the world. People still care about local events of course, but there is a much greater concern for the big events of the whole world now. Your likelihood of being affected by the big news in some far away place has increased greatly and at an accelerating pace ever since the beginning of the 20th century.

2. That interconnected nature has become exponentially greater as the internet has rolled out. Before, your source to world events would still be your local newspaper/radio/television but primarily driven through aggregators (AP/UPI/major news TV/radio networks). Now people have the ability to get directly to the original more local sources. The odd secondary effect of this is that it has reduced the size of the local news sources in the first place.

3. Increased partisanship hasn't helped. People are much more likely to abandon a news source if they feel it is biased, true or not, ans they have other options now.

All of these together mean that news of all varieties has been heavily disrupted, but the long term replacement hasn't become readily apparent. I can't think of a similar system of disruption in other industries.

Same here. I recall vaguely that "Reason" was some kind of tech and not an order to reason about something.
Yeah good point. It's also discouraging how much the principal has to deal with staff turnover - it seems like there are constantly problems like "This teacher isn't very good, but it's so hard to hire good teachers, if they quit I'll probably get a worse one."
