Hi! Dooes this support ligatures? I've come to depend heavily on them for some reason.
I'm thinking report cards released on Friday increase parent-child interaction across the board, both good and bad;that a child is more likely to be encouraged for good grades, disciplined for bad ones, or simply asked how their day was.
I think if the feedback was more along the lines of the teacher getting in touch with the parent to discuss decline in performance or something it might go better for the child. There is something just really indifferent and also ambiguous about letter grades and more specifically the Unsatisfactory/Satisfactory/Outstanding rating system for younger children. I believe the age range they measured was children 5-11 so pretty young in this context.
The author displays the very cognitive blind spots he decries. He says

"One reason I’ve been thinking about the virtue of humility recently is because our president, Donald Trump, is one of the least humble people on the planet.

It was Trump who said on the night of his nomination, “I alone can fix it,” with the “it” being our entire political system. It was Trump who once said, “I have one of the great memories of all time."

Trump is of course not a humble man. Is he any different in this regard than his predecessor?

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.” -- Barack Obama (https://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/81895_Page2.html)

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth." -- Barack Obama, Primary Election victory speech, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008.

The startup that can take this data and hide it behind a UI that people use WHILE THEY'RE HEALTHY and then optimize care pathways before a health issue arises will be great (although probably not a great business).
One issue is that we're encouraged from every angle to make fun of those challenging the narrative; which is very effective in discouraging people from doing just that, especially after having taken part themselves.
No actually. One was document management and the other health/wellness. Here's some of my own observations of tech culture in different regions:

Awesome comment! Quick follow-up question:

"If you've never read up on Frances Allen, she's amazing and basically created the field of automatic program optimization. As she would tell you, it builds on a lot of pieces of work of others, but ... The papers she wrote are completely approachable and still relevant today."

I've never heard of her or maybe just saw Allen on a paper. Which are the must-read works so I can catch up and share them with others?

The irony of a clickbait publication like Vox talking about intellectual humility is breathtaking. Vox and its ilk (Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Gawker, etc) have done more than anyone else in pushing people to stick to their guns, even when they know their position is wrong. Their attitude towards apologies is never forgiveness, but to attack even harder, saying, "See, even my opponent admits that he or she was wrong!"

Humility doesn't go viral. Careful consideration doesn't get retweets. What spreads is confidence, whether it's well-placed or not. As a result, Vox's product is the very sort of confidence that this article decries.
I assume that you mean having grades in grades K-8, and not that schooling should not start until 9th grade.

I went to a K-12 school for high school (transferred in at grade 9); and they didn't give any grades in K-8 [0]. Having said that, I do not think the concept of grades for younger students is inherantly bad, it is just that parents and students are terrible at receiving them.

I assume you do see the value in report cards in general. The problem with gradeless report cards, is that it is easy to misunderstand them. For instance, if a teacher says "Johny should improve in X", it is not clear if there is a problem, or if Johny is actually doing amazing, and X is just the place where there is the most room for growth. Ideally, the teacher would be able to communicate this information perfectly; but having a simple grading system can be a valuable to to accurate communication.

[0] And their reasoning for giving any in 9-12 was primarily for college applications.

Medicare for all would easily bankrupt hospitals. The money needs to come from somewhere. Either force people to buy insurance or raise taxes massively. Pick your poison.
I am not blaming the high false positive rate (although itself is problem). The problem is that this kind of high false positive rate has a huge impact on the quality of the study. Be aware the followed analysis does not account for the error in reporting and verification. There are simple too many noise.
They could have fixed this in a heartbeat by simply having pagerank penalize pages for adding external JS assets. No AMP needed; better experience all around, and with less effort.
See Wikipedia:

>In 24 U.S. states, employees who are working in a unionized shop may be required to contribute towards the cost of representation (such as at disciplinary hearings) if their fellow employees have negotiated a union security clause in their contract with management. Dues are generally 1-2% of pay. However, union members and other workers covered by collective agreements get, on average, a 5-10% wage markup over their nonunionized (or uncovered) counterparts.

>Some states, especially in the south-central and south-eastern regions of the U.S., have outlawed union security clauses; this can cause controversy, as it allows some net beneficiaries of the union contract to avoid paying their portion of the costs of contract negotiation.

>Regardless of state, the Supreme Court has held that the Act prevents a person's union dues from being used without consent to fund political causes that may be opposed to the individual's personal politics. Instead, in states where union security clauses are permitted, such dissenters may elect to pay only the proportion of dues which go directly toward representation of workers.

Well, you were replying to someone who said they learned SQL for their Django site when they were 16, and you admonished them for not knowing Cartesian products and using a database... so it was certainly not clear that you meant a production database.
> but data is data.

No, data that doesn't have any coherent practical meaning is worse than no data (well, it's worth exactly the same as no data if and only if you recognize the fact that it has no coherent practical meaning and disregard it entirely.)

One of the classic bad-management failures is finding some easy to quantify it irrelevant to purpose number and optimizing around it because, hey, it may not be perfect “but data is data”.
Firing all of those billing specialists and insurance people would save a LOT of money.
Serious question, why do people use GoDaddy? What does it have to offer in terms of price/features/anything that’s better than any other provider?

Very odd.. an individual’s time is way more valuable than a company’s time... companies waste time like it grows on trees.
The GUI package manager is "HaikuDepot" and the command-line tool is "pkgman". HaikuDepot is documented in the Userguide: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/haik... Dunno why no search engines took you to it.

Also dunno why WebPositive wouldn't do anything for you. It's still a little buggy, but it usually works well enough for my purposes...
It’s pretty surprising to me that they could ship a feature like that without an enforced review by security and probably several other teams (legal and pr come to mind immediately).
Letter grades are largely useless as an educational tool, even in high school – they provide delayed, coarse, not very actionable feedback, while inflicting a lot of unnecessary emotional stress/pain which directly interferes with learning. The real purpose of letter grades is largely bureaucratic and they are designed for the convenience of teachers and school administrators. What they are good for is sorting and labeling the students, though as a side effect they are also quite effective at directing student effort toward gaming them rather than caring about the quality of their work.

My primary school eschewed grades in favor of detailed written progress reports. These took a whole lot more work for the teachers to prepare, but were much more valuable. (In particular, knowing that they would need to write them caused teachers to pay attention to the progress of every student and take notes about it on a regular basis.)
Thank you, that is interesting. Similar to my current "strategy" as well. I guess we all enjoy authority, and are wise enough to let others enjoy it too... as long as everyone has their specialty.
Offering incentives for the poor to not breed would have a huge impact. Currently we do the opposite.
Could be. Then the study should report how many were verified as abuse, how many were physical abuse.
Yeah, the big difference is that they pay for that time, and the time is a known quantity when you make the agreement. The banned non-competes are the ones where they say, “if you decide to leave at any point in the future, you can’t compete with us for x number of years”... but they won’t give you extra money during that time.
In the past I thought the same.
But after visiting the original Bauhaus buildings [1] in Dessau / Germany my mind changed.

This has convinced me to take precautions. I am adding some logic to my site that if there are more than two script tags (I only have 2) replace body content with error text and send an xhr notification back to the server so that the server will know their pages are compromised

It’s as simple as document.getElementsByTagName(“script”).length

EDIT:

Here is my tested more sane approach: https://gist.github.com/prettydiff/f9f85fffb00a903ecd3f2cfe0...

I do not have an xhr notification in place in the gist, because I have not written a service to receive it yet.
Literally every other industrialized country has a Medicare For All type system and somehow the hospitals manage to stay open.

And you can’t mention a tax increase without mentioning the savings of not having to pay for private insurance.
Some of us still have internet quota, sadly.

The weight behind the tonearm 'levitates' it across a fulcrum, and this is adjustable on a quality turntable. The needle should have neither more nor less drag than absolutely necessary.
> These are the prices they charge people who lack insurance.

No, they are the fake numbers they keep around as starting points so that (1) insurance can claim to have negotiated price down, and (2) they can claim the inflated numbers to be the “usual and customary charge to the general public” for purposes of government programs like Medicaid which include the usual and customary charge to the general public as one of the factors in reimbursement rates.

> They're very real if you get a bill with them on it.

A number of providers give an automatic, no negotiation needed discount from the chargemaster to uninsured patients, and most of the rest expect to allow themselves to be negotiated down. The chargemaster isn't the real price, and has no consistent relationship to it across providers.
That's really impressive. I hope they continue to port more software.
Thanks for the enlightenment, this explains why I no longer visit The Independent's website.

I naively assumed, to begin with, that they'd pushed out something broken. Except it never got resolved, which surprised considering the length of delay. So I resolved it by pretending they no longer exist.

I'll likely never know if they ever do resolve it.
We need to do a better job of providing subsidized birth control. Half the kids in school these days have no reason to exist given their parents situation.
Yes, it's "valuable consideration" usually included in the sale price. It doesn't have to come in the form of a monthly payment or a salary.
This was basically the neatest thing I've come across in quite a while. What a pleasant surprise.
Weren't you a kid?
These are the stick that they threaten to beat the uninsured with to bargan with insurance companies. The entire process is ridiculous, and while they can hide behind whatever they want to say the "real" prices are, these are the threat. "I won't pull this trigger, I'll just wave it in your face until they empty the cash register."
Why I don't trust Oneplus
I've had good luck with Gandi in the past for SSL certificates, and their U2F support makes me inclined to choose them as my new registrar.

On the other hand, I've heard less than great things about Gandi's reliability and support lately. If you've had to contact their support team, what's your experience been like?
It is still a point of view. Should we not read anti union opinions from someone who has conservative views?

That’s like saying we can’t take the teachers union claims about teachers demands because they support teachers rights?
We should send feminine women to guard the borders!

Jails are brutal -- we should release all prisoners.

But why are you posting this non-sense on a tech forum?
Another possibility is to reduce the cost of care.
I remember those times. They were beautiful. I could spent hours trying to search for the best free webhosting that includes PHP, MySQL and Phpmyadmin, and didnt fill my website with popups or banners at the top/bottom of the webpage.
Yeah. What about punishment resulting in emotional injury?

All that corporal punishment teaches is that it's OK for the powerful to punish the weak.
That diversity is not our greatest strength.
If I’m reading the charts right in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1307.7343.pdf the the salts they are documenting are in the range of whole milk, cold water, and hot water. But there is no better than a 50-50 chance that I’m interpreting that correctly.
Makers: Stop Perfecting, Start Shipping
As 2019 is taking off, I was thinking about all those things I've been learning in the last 5 years or so. And 2018 was a special one in that.

I worked at a startup for the entire year, and I got to put to practice all those mind-shaping things that I learned from podcasts, books and talking to entrepreneurs and startup people all around.

I mean, it was just mindblowing to hear how many fellow makers experienced that urge to perfect their product before shipping it.

All those nights, weekends, days and weeks that were spent on adding features and tweaking the screens and making it JUST THAT LITTLE BIT BETTER before going live.

STOP. DOING. THAT.

What everybody I talked to agreed to with me, is that we now know how awkward it is to believe that the perfect picture in your head is actually going to happen.

And how silly it is to even think for a second that the world is pausing and waiting for your product to roll out of the shop.

Read about the value that lies in stopping to perfect your product, and actually just SHIP IT in Shipharder.com's latest vlog/blog post, here:
https://www.shipharder.com/makers-stop-perfecting-start-shipping.

It's time you got your stuff out there and get some real value from actual users.

Code Hard, Ship Harder - shipharder.com

Let me know your take on this. Do you prefer to work on nitty-gritty details before shipping?
Or do you prefer the feedback from your product in use after shipping as well?
> Lots of documents (amp or not) use the same ... trick

Perhaps luck, but I have never encountered one that is so hostile about it with nearly 10s wait outside of AMP. I've rarely encountered a second or so's delay, but two or three sites including a large one that have the massively excessive AMP delay.

So to call it the same trick seems like a stretch from a user annoyance point of view.
If someone takes control of their website and puts malicious stuff on there, GoDaddy being able to ask the customer “Hey, did you mean to do that?” and helping them roll it back is handy.
Adam Ruins Everything has a skit on this for people who haven't heard of it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeDOQpfaUc8

On one of my non-insured years, I did get a five-digit bill like one in the video. Then some more from a bunch of other companies. It shouldn't have been legal. Especially given I couldn't exactly shop around for better prices with them all faking them.
How expensive does oil have to get before it becomes economical to dig up landfill to recover and crack hydrocarbons from old plastic?
I'm trying to update my site to amp right now. I wrote the thing in django but it doesn't look like django is compatible with amp.

I'm switching over to php because it's the simplest language that seems to have CORS headers without requiring middleware packages. It seems like AMP can't even do something as simple as a contact form without CORS headers. I'm sure an experienced programmer could solve this problem easily but it makes things harder for amateurs like me.

It also doesn't seem to work with bootstrap so I've had to switch the whole thing over to basscss.

It seems like choosing AMP limits the other technology you can use.
My intent was not snarky, I actually would like to know if there are for-profit organizations that open their ledgers for regulatory purposes. I think its an interesting question, and there are implications if there is a precedent that health care organizations could follow.
I am talking about actual Medicare, which causes big losses for hospitals. Those need to be covered, that is my point.

You can not just import other nations healthcare systems. Those are cheaper because the doctors and nurses earn less and the service is worse.
Perhaps, but a report card is likely to get more attention on a Friday than another day of the week, and I could see consequences stretching into the weekend, which is supposed to be a time for a child to relax from the school week.

That being said, I think we should put far less emphasis on grades and report cards in general, so I'd rather just not give out report cards on a regular basis. Grades and reports cause a ton of stress for kids that just gets in the way of learning. I also think children should be allowed to go at their own pace and have some level of control over what they learn. It's okay if a child lags in one area and excels in another for a year or two. Interests change, and children learn far more rapidly in subjects they're interested in.

I agree that just moving report cards may not solve the problem. We need to reexamine why we give report cards and decide if there isn't a better way (and there are a lot of alternative teaching methods that may do better than the way most public schools are run).
You've got it wrong. The uninsured don't pay these prices, the insurance companies don't pay them either.

The people getting screwed are those who pay a deductible/co-pay based on the inflated prices, ie the people who pay for health insurance.
Seems to me that the first step in getting chargemaster prices to closer reflect reality would be to publish them, so that someone (consumers, journalists, cyber activists, hospital administrators) can compare hospital prices to ones near by. Likely not sufficient, but a required step.
And then, after the big modal footer, and the animated button, when you tap on a link you sometimes get another different footer appear asking whether you want to view the link in the app or continue to view it in a browser.
I've had this argument with you before and I'm not really interested in having it again. Suffice it to say that I have a different idea of what a personal computer should be than you or the parts of the Haiku community who are left.
There is already one. It is called kuberentes.
This is true by definition - no 2 things are the exact same (otherwise its the same thing), but the same priciples might apply here as well.
Yes, you have stated it correctly. The size and liveness information are from allocations (either stack or heap). ASAN and Valgrind do not associate these information with pointers, but add redzones (extra paddings with special bit patterns) before and after each legit memory block. It only triggers error reporting if a pointer happens to point to one of the redzones. However, redzones always have limited sizes. They cannot cover the ranges of out-of-bound pointers.

It's dynamic typing.

Down here (more toward Texas), we have "jack rabbits" that are the size of some kids if you hold them across your chest. Huge. Look them up in DuckDuckGo images.

You can still work in a company not directly competing with your previous employer and get the compensation.

I just had a quick look (I never had one), non-competes without compensation are illegal in France.
I liked how they described it as "a blob of incomprehensible script.". It's JSON, which is a data format, not an incomprehensible script. If you're looking for a machine readable format, it's a pretty solid choice for this type of data on the web.
