Gitifying I2P: How to make git clone resumable
Have you ever cloned a git repository on a bad internet connection? I have, it don't work.

The article is about a pretty herculean effort to improve the level of teaching in a particular low-performing school. The post was effectively "teachers would be better if they were better teachers" which doesn't engage at all with the content of the article, or the central question of /how/ one might take on the problem of improving teaching quality.

I think you're overthinking it. It's mostly just asking around. Go to a blue collar bar and chat with some of the guys sitting there. In small towns the VFWs or Legions are good choices. Talk to the ones drinking by themselves and that look dirty or sweaty. Hang out at gas stations or a McDonalds. All the people that work these kinds of jobs need to use restrooms and eat. These are two very popular places for them to do those things.

Walk through an industrial park and ask the receptionist at each one if they're looking for help. I got several warehouse jobs this way.

Call lawn and landscaping services. A lot of these are small single owner operations. Most of these guys are too busy to look for people formally, but they can use the help. I have a buddy who runs a lawn service, he's paying $20/hr no questions asked for help. He's desperate to find people but he's not advertising on the internet because he's not tech savvy.

One one project we had to cram a lot of text into a columnar UI. A UI that would be used in meetings on a projector.

So we had everyone stand at the back of a medium sized conference room and do a poor man’s eye exam. Verdana had the smallest font that was still readable. Narrower font means less line wrapping and text clipping. None of us knew any font lore so I didn’t learn until much later that this was a design goal of Verdana, but I’d say mission accomplished.

Corporate tools at headquarters didn’t like it, and with no context demanded we change it back to a “normal” font. Apparently I’m still upset about this.

Fans of typographic humor may enjoy Liz Crain's ceramic work. One of her specialties is ceramic pieces that look like old rusted metal cans. And her husband is a retired typesetter, so the cans often feature typographic themes.

After buying her Interrobang piece a while back, we asked her to make a Keming can to go with it. Here they are together:

> men are just horrible people who can’t be nice to others

That’s an extremely bad and uncharitable way of summarising patriarchal oppression. It’s not about men being nice or not, it’s about (in part) a society that assigns roles to men and women and expects girls from a young age to be less logical, less mathematical, less interested in technology, etc., thus discouraging them from pursuing scientific careers. This effect, by this point, is extremely well-founded.

That’s not to say GMVH might not also be an effect, but to restate socialised gender roles as “men are just horrible people”, and to call that more controversial, is ridiculous.

That reminds me of a great technique for introducing diagrams. Say you're giving everyone a diagram of mitosis. Instead of giving everyone a labeled diagram, you give out a diagram with the labels removed. You ask everyone to make up a name for every thing they can see on the diagram that seems to be important. Then you ask them to use these names to write a caption for the diagram, or a caption for each step in the diagram.

You get some really funny sounding names and captions, but the point is people are processing the parts of the diagram and looking for what's happening in the diagram. They're engaging fully with the process that's being represented, rather than just accepting terms and descriptions that are being given to them. You don't need to go through this lengthy process for every diagram you share, but it's a great way to introduce diagrams about key processes.

To bring it back to the article, many talented teachers discover techniques like this, as I imagine Grant Sanderson did. But every teacher can be taught this technique.

> make HPKP error screens skippable like any other TLS errors

That largely defeats the point. Almost no one knows what to make of those errors. And just training everyone to ignore them makes HPKP pointless.

The problem with HPKP was that it could be used to attack any site on the internet with no way for websites to opt out. Basically, the same problem as with certificate authorities - but worse.

Those issues we're know when the spec was written, true. But, it was still a dangerous and extremely difficult to deploy feature. Good riddance.

Exactly. Except that you don't need to surround yourself with people you disagree with, so much as with opinions and points of view that differ fundamentally from yours. And this constitutes the basic argument against the new censorship ostensibly targeting hate speech.

> Equifax (and the other 2) get to define creditworthiness for all these other businesses.

They do not. The CRAs provide the information, and the individual businesses decide what their limits are. A lot of businesses standardize on FICO scores, which just use CRA data. So a business decides what's acceptable, based on the info from CRAs and the model from FICO.

Top Bayesian Data Analysis Books
I lived in Malmö for quite awhile and knew and worked in tech with many highly educated people, quite a few of them who graduated from Lund. I think that Lund and Malmö tech scene is a bit of a bubble. As I got to know some of the Swedes I worked with deeply, I started to hear complaints from many of them about the societal groupthink that exists in Sweden. There really is a strong sense of collectivism in Sweden, it just seems that the tech scene has been able to break away from it to a certain extent.

That said, I enjoyed many of the same things that you mention about Sweden. The people I worked with were highly educated, pragmatic, and often not willing to make bad engineering decisions if there was no reason to. It was easy to have very in-depth conversations with Swedes about many topics without resulting to emotional attacks or divisiveness.

In general I think what has helped Swedes the most (and what grandparent has hinted at) is that Swedish citizens, at least everyone I met, are very internationally minded in that they are absolutely voracious travelers and embrace people of other cultures rather easily (there are the Swedish Democrats, of course, but this mentality is still a relative minority in Sweden). This willingness to interact internationally and deal with other cultures is what I think has helped propel Sweden to the kind of startup success we are seeing here.
Having trouble parsing your complaint.

The moment the farmer dies without an heir, his field is fallow. From that point forward, whatever germinates will grow if it can compete. So pioneer species get free reign and they can spread widely in only a few years.

The little ice age was almost 300 years. From a geologic standpoint or even a glacial one, trees sprouting up all over in a five year time frame is pretty sudden, but the sudden event I was talking about was acreage of unmanaged land.

Is that necessarily a bad thing though? It would seem to me (non-American) that high school sports news would at most of interest to the parents of those playing, so it doesn't seem feasible for it to obtain wide coverage.

Every news organization has a conflict of interest, and that conflict of interest concerns whoever owns the organization.

As much as I love NPR, the last entity you want to own or fund a news organization is the government, because it's very easy to slip towards state propaganda.

There's one big problem about the "new way without the middleman", and it goes to the central function of a news organization, which is judgment, curation, and sniffing out BS. When we lose local news orgs, we lose that filter (for better and for worse).

The filter has several functions:

* tell us what a seasoned reporter thinks is true after years on a beat, by not including the BS;

* connect the dots between current news and other events (tell the bigger story to help me understand why something matters);

* save the readers time, because the readers don't have time to wade through all the verbose, partisan, poorly edited anonymous blogs. News organizations exist to highlight and synthesize and summarize. When they die, we lose that. Removing the middleman is really removing the people doing the labor of condensing many disparate points of view and the flat confusion of facts.

As local news organizations die, we will have less engaged communities on every level, and more corrupt local institutions, and that will lead to greater stagnation and inequity in the US. It's already a huge problem, and it will get worse.

Uhm...what? There are more than two theories.

Here's one I've seen a few articles on within the past year or so. According to test data (SAT, PISA, and I believe others) on teens, girls who are at the top in science tend to also be at the top in other areas too [1]. Boys who are at the top in science tend to be more ordinary in other areas.

People in general tend to to enjoy more and go into careers in areas they are good at.

Result for boys: boys who are at the top in science are highly likely to want to go into science. It's what they are good at and enjoy.

Result for girls. For the girls at the top in science, though, it is just one of the things they are good at and enjoy, and often they are even better at those other things than they are at science. So top girls in science are more likely than top boys to pick some other area to go into.

Roughly, the top girls tend to be more rounded than the top boys. I've not seen anything on why that might be so.

[1] Anecdotally, that fits me. When I first took the SAT in high school, I got 790 on math, and a terrible 540 on verbal. I took it again to see if I could do better on verbal, and got that up to 640, which is still nothing to write home about but is at least good enough to suggest I might actually be able to write. Math dropped to 750 the second time, which was embarrassing.
I had the same thought during the SIGGRAPH presentation. The API they are providing is a step back, too high-level, like going from Vulkan back to OpenGL.

It is nice to have for starters, but in the near future it will die quickly if somebody comes up with an improved incompatible technique, that can be implemented over existing low-level.
For me a small one-off website means server side MVC rendering with minimal JavaScript (vanilaJS) for the dynamic parts.
Bankers' attitudes about it make it even more infuriating.

Whenever I'm at the bank I get asked, "Have you considered taking a credit card to start building your credit?" When I patiently explain why I can't do that, their response is usually to just reiterate how important it is and how irresponsible I'm being.

I've never seen a salesperson in any other industry do this. When I ask waiters for non-pork substitutes, they don't come back with, "Listen, I know you don't eat pork but you should get the bacon anyway because it's really good."
