As someone who had a teacher who literally was tenured, had the absolute worst reviews ever on the website and wherever, literally recorded his lectures once and now goes to lectures just to answer questions (which btw he barely answers em he sometimes just posts to the lecture video) I strongly feel evaluating teachers is a necessary thing.
Thanks for thw tip!
Ideally, from the get-go. Your system and documentation should be produced & grow in-parallel. At worst, before any team members with key (undocumented) domain knowledge leave.
> after throwing google analytics + fb ad trackers + a chat widget + a youtube video

But do you actually need all of this? Don’t get me wrong, this is still way ahead compared to the garbage the usual sites load, but I think you can do better.

For analytics, is there a way you can only include it for a certain % of requests? This should work fine with analytics and still give you a good overview.

The chat widget can be put behind a link on its own page.

For YouTube consider having a static thumbnail that links to the video instead of the embed code, or see if another provider offers a lighter embed (Vimeo?)

With my logging setup right now (ELK + Fluentd) org-wide we have ~120 dashboards, and the overall setup costs us about $750 per month in resources. This would be a 700% increase for us. A 2x-3x increase would be worth it I think, but not that much.
Tim Cook's Idaho visit shows Apple can't just donate its way into schools
These nations feel their sovereignty is threatened by Facebook. Him ignoring them isn’t exactly helping, nor is the fact that he did submit to Congress which does the same pointless lecturing.

These nations are all losing face from being snubbed. They are going to take increasingly drastic measures to assert their authority - this is not something that will go away. You already saw this with the UK parliament seizing documents which is unprecedented in recent times.
nowadays one can make an interactive "book" bitemporal. That is, facts/history depend on when they have happened, and when one learned (=read) about it... So if u reread something in the first half, after u read the middle, u read different version of it..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_database

And then multi-viewpoint - different characters tell the story in different ways, with very different timelines of who learned what when.

so when u're reading it as character A, in middle of story part of the then history changes completely because u learn something about B in the past.. While from point of view of B, that is well known since beginning, etc.

But sadly, these need far more programming than any book-writer can do, and proper "engine/interpreter" to "play" the result.
Wasn't the ban on resale of licenses declared illegal at least in some countries? In that case, second hand licenses would very well be legal, even if Microsoft doesn't like them.
Mayotte is a French oversea territory. And like almost all french oversea territory it is very poor, but less than the average neighbor countries leading to a lot of immigration which are difficult to control (even though Mayotte is an Island which make it a bit more controllable than Guyana for example). This usually end up in a increasing poverty and unemployment, leading to criminality, aging infrastructure, and public services not being able to handle the demand.

Like a lot of oversea territory, it has some beautiful landscape, but is crippled by the problems above. Living there is very difficult.

EDIT: Note also that I am not blaming immigrant. The problem being that adding more poor people in an already poor territory doesn't solve the problem of poverty. And France unwillingness to treat its oversea territory fairly and really invest in them is the main root of the problem.
Nice write up. It reminded me of the time I spent several weeks once trying to get OpenBGPD to work on OpenBSD.

First I tried getting some test VMs up and talking to each other. When I couldn't get that to work, I setup a few physical boxes to test it out.. When that didn't work either, I started debugging the code. A few strace's and some routine C debugging work later and I found a bug that would prevent any BGP connection from ever establishing.

A quick post on the OpenBSD listserv and the problem was fixed within day. (Wow that was almost 10 years ago?! How time flies)

https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/13fba73cec6be16d64c86e...

We ultimately went with VyOS (back then called Vyatta) and Quagga but it felt good to find a bug like this.

Most of the work went in to confirming that there was an actual bug. Finding out where the bug was and fixing it was relatively trivial.
>Then why do the police need guns? Shouldn't knives be sufficient?

Sure, if your plan is to only deal with threats that are < 20ft away and can be handled with a knife.

I never said the person with the knife would survive. They may very well get killed. Who cares if he managed to slice open your arm or neck and you bleed to death anyway.
There's a much better way to hold educators to account - have other educators sit in on classes. But this is often very strongly resisted, apparently it's 'unprofessional'.
I've read the evaluations of a few of my female colleagues. Without fail, a good portion of them are toe-curlingly sexist.
This whole "bunch of lawmakers" addressed as a general bunch really concerns me.

It's not as if Zuckerberg did not answer to European concerns, the guy sat through 2 hours of questioning at the European Parliament earlier this year. His company has offered very senior representatives who's job it is to handle this issue but this group continues to insist that only Zuckerberg has answers in this case that no one in a company with 20,000+ employees can answer?

This "Group" has no recognition in law as a legal body. The individuals in the group are elected representatives of countries, yes, but that has no legal authority bestowed upon it to simply summon the CEO of any company to appear before them and subject themselves to legal/financial peril. I would very much like to hear more about the individuals involved here and their financial impetus to place their domestic duties on hold while going out on a limb to target one individual. It sets a terrible precedent. What next? Do we hold grand tribunals when dissenters create a platform that shares their views?
Two things:

1) I would have used "corporatizations" of schools. Running universities as if they were businesses, framing students as customers, etc.

2) Tuition has become a bigger share of the budget for public universities as federal funding has been stagnant and state funding has been cut, which feeds the same problem.
Because traditionally, staying at home taking care of kids has been usually done by women.
Why not declare our life requirements and let a computer decide on these constraints?
It's amazing how much we take the power of free and open source software for granted these days.

Imagine this same scenario if GitLab was using a closed source operating system. Would they have been able to track this down? Quite unlikely, but maybe if they were even more persistent and got lucky. Would they have been able to fix it? Absolutely not. They'd be at the mercy of the vendor.
> The modalities are often described as: visual; auditory; kinesthetic.

The evidence base for learning styles is very weak [1]. It's fashionable in schools and teacher training to deride them as a neuromyth. You can make a slightly different argument: that different things are taught better in different ways; or having the same concept explained in multiple different ways helps everyone learn; or that we all have learning preferences which make us feel comfortable. The link between teachers accommodating learning styles in classrooms and improved student outcomes is very tenuous.

How to Construct a Language That Doesn't Suck
1. Lugging your adapter just isn't an option. Stop. This should be enough reason. Seriously. Don't try to justify it in hindsight.

2. Since I had to constantly borrow my adapter from my regular headphones it happened that I forgot them connected to another headphones. So I often had my headphones with me but missing the adapter. Wasn't frustrating, promise.

3. I don't know when I'm gonna need it. I made a long trip by train and thought that some nice bluetooth noise cancelling phones would be nice. Well, at my destination we took a drive and I was asked to play some music. Ooops, no adapter.

4. At work my bluetooth headphones lost battery, no worries, you can still drive them with a headphone jack. Ooops, no adapter.

5. I dance, one day when arriving to practice the people responsible for it were running late. No worries, just connect your phone! Ooops, no adapter.

6. If your going social gathering with friends to a cottage you might not think to bring your headphones. But while there some music would be kind of nice. Ooops, no adapter.

Situations like that happens all the time, and it's nothing one thinks about because it's just a given that everything works. Well, was... So now I actually did bring my adapter even in cases when I didn't need my headphones. Which was another source of (2).

The above inconveniences all assume that it works as expected when you do have your adapter. But it doesn't. You can not charge and listen to music at the same time and while I love USB-C to bits it is way too clunky to be used while in your pocket. The connector did actually start to show signs of wear from having the adapter connected while walking. Luckily I had no issues charging my device but I actually don't know if data still worked.

Think about it, that alone is also completely unacceptable.

And that's all assuming that it would be kind of okay to even have an adapter at the end of your cord, even that just isn't.

See (1).

We know we get reviewed anyway.

What we're pushing back against is these reviews getting turned into yet another semi-useless, noisy and biased metric we're evaluated by.

Did Lenovo really manufacture them back in 1992? From what I gather they only started in 2005?

Even then it's like saying iPhones manufactured by Foxconn are only badged by Apple. The original IBM Thinkpads all the way up to the T43 were developed by IBM and built/designed significantly better than the ones today. Also a large selling point of the old models was the software (!), which made some things easier.
In my experience this has been good for weeding out really bad profs. At my Grad school they turfed a prof 1/2 way through that was bones bad.

That said - it's perverse at the other end and I do believe that there is unconscious sexism.

We had a really smart bunch of people, and some of the female teachers were a little more apprehensive in front of us which I think signals to people subconsciously.

Another way: the feedback has to be interpreted.

I suggest that the profs should not be 'graded' by students - rather there should just be an open ended opportunity for feedback.
I think the problem is, the conventional depiction of many events is already 'white'. I had no idea that there were large numbers of African and Indian soldiers on the western front, for instance, until quite recently.

OpenBSD has its own problems, for example packages for RELEASE are built only once at the release date and never touched later, like in the old FreeBSD days.

That lefts OpenBSD users with software containing security holes and bugs. IMHO OpenBSD should create a pkg(8) equivalent (or even port it/import it like openssl) to have up to date packages at least for RELEASE.
It's the same in many ways, but that's no defense for facebook, quite the contrary.

This is not a new idea. Playing with the boundaries of presentation in literature is just a subset of post-modernist lit.

> So he exchanged a potential loss of €200k at a favourable odds for a sure loss of €50k with potential loss of €150k at a much better odds. Now here's where we could question his decision speculating what the actual odds were, but who knows if he cares about the money.

You’re ignoring the fact that winning also guarantees him a spot in next year’s final, so that would heavily tip this analysis towards playing it safe.

Although I don’t believe Magnus is trying to win this for the money, but that’s besides the point.
My intuition was clear, it's made from a Japanese company! While the style is of course inspired on old Japanese games, the clear clue was "SNS" (confirmed by visiting the company link).

Actually, the worst part of Elixir is when you're realizing that something asynchronous, of all things, would be easier in JavaScript, of all languages.

Eg JavaScript lets you trivially memoize asynchronous requests, by caching Promise objects instead of responses. In Elixir you'll end up with enormous case expressions like this one: https://github.com/melpon/memoize/blob/master/lib/memoize/ca...

This is a bit misleading. They throttle you to 256kbps after 15GB, but give you the option to lift the limit by paying $10/GB for the data you use past 15GB in a given cycle.

It's literally impossible to reach 250GB without paying extra. After being throttled the most you'd be able to download is 82.94GB, assuming you were downloading things non-stop at the maximum speed for 30 days.

Dark Mode Themes for Slack via Command Line
No, but it is horribly verbose and a pain to work with. I personally find the flow of writing to be constantly interrupted with the demand to mark everything up just so, and for very technical documents with a lot of markup, the markup can dwarf the content several times over!

While they are less powerful, markdown, restructured text and other simpler markup languages are much more productive to work with. They are easier for beginners to understand, and the markup is sufficiently lightweight for most of the common cases that it doesn't interrupt your train of thought while trying to think about how to best describe complex technical details.

MIRorR: Matchable Image Retrieval by Learning from Surface Reconstruction
Not a nuclear test because there's no initial transient.

This is more like a forced resonance - the geological equivalent of an organ pipe.

So I'd guess there's a pipe-like feature or a chamber in the area (an old magma tunnel? - it doesn't have to be empty, it just needs to have a constant density significantly different to its surroundings) and "noise" from moving magma made it to ring.

With a 17s period and 6km/s velocity, for lambda/4 resonance the pipe/chamber would be around 30km long - which looks not-completely-insanely-wrong, possibly.

"I disagree that there is a significant correlation between expanding population and an expanding economy."

In any functioning economy there is obviously a correlation.

Bodies have jobs, generate income, and they buy stuff meaning GDP.

Government spends on social services per body, meaning GDP.

Not only are 'warm bodies' a part of economic growth ... 'warm bodies' are the very basis of economic growth in most of the West! If you take out population growth from US economic data, it looks a little more like Europe. If you normalize for lower rates of children ... that explains a huge amount about lagging economic growth in the West.

Populations that require homes, cars, services, food, mortgages - that's what drives the economy.

So to your point - in a dysfunctional scenario, more bodies means problems, but overall no.

How do you think America became the most powerful entity in the Western world and in some ways in the world? And not Sweden?

The story of American economic growth from 1777 onwards includes a lot of things, but if you measure up against Europe, what mostly stands out is body count.

Also - remember that growth is measured in GDP, not 'efficiency' - so as AI does 'more for less' it's technically 'bad' paradoxically, for the economy, as you point out. But as long as we figure out a way (any way!) for the surpluses to be distributed, they will be spent, hence 'growing economy'.

Canada's economic strategy is fully based on body count. The nations banks drive our strategy, and they can't grow any more through competition or innovation - they can only grow through more mortgages, which come from more bodies. So they push for large scale immigration, which is in their self interest.

'AI' is not how the economy will grow.

A sea of new homes, out to the horizon, with a Starbucks on every corner, an IKEA in every neighbourhood, a Toyota in every driveway, and a dozen prescriptions per home ... this is how our current economy 'grows'.
But why do you let the students grade the course after they've already gotten a grade? That's insane. In my university, you'd get a paper for the teacher and course review after handing in the final exam. This means you can comment on the quality of the exam, but you don't know your grade yet.
