I think you've misunderstood. I believe the H.C. argument is that statistics are far more valuable in real life than Calculus, but Calculus is more heavily valued as an "advanced class" for signaling purposes.
>That's what software is - every project is a brand new thing that has never been done before - there isn't 200 years of learning to fall back on.

Sorry but this is just gatekeeping bullshit. Most apps being built today by companies with the budget to build them are TODO apps, report apps, storefronts, big data mungers, CRMs, etc. They all just have different business requirements and domain specific knowledge. To think that every software project can't be categorized is ridiculous.
Reminds me of the sad story of the teacher who was just traveling through mid-northern Mexico a year or two ago and went to a bar and started asking the wrong kind of questions. Cartel caught wind of it and killed him, likely because they thought he was DEA
Do you have plans to invest in real tech rather than toy stuffs like Peter Thiel tells?
This works in some fields, like software, which are based on measurable skills that can be directly taught. And we see it already with bootcamps and MOOCs (though these will need reinterpretation for real success).

However, in many other fields, like consulting, or investment banking, or law school admissions, there isn't a similar quality of measurability. Indeed, for many of these fields, the signalling is the end in and of itself, where the job itself doesn't require specific skills, but it's a benefit to the hiring institution to hire from signalling institutions). These sort of problems are uniquely resistant to market mechanisms and need top-down reform.
I’d say it’s about 80% projects for people wanting to learn the language and 20% about safety, speed and concurrency.

I would also like to know what the rationale is for this behavior. Showing immediate and useful feedback on the screen seems an obvious thing to do, especially when running a command at an interactive terminal.
At the very top of that page:

> Guix is an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system developed by the GNU Project—which respects the freedom of computer users.

On the about page:

> The GNU Guix package and system manager is a free software project developed by volunteers around the world under the umbrella of the GNU Project.

>

> Guix System is an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system. It uses the Linux-libre kernel, and support for the Hurd is being worked on. As a GNU distribution, it is committed to respecting and enhancing the freedom of its users. As such, it adheres to the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines.

So "Guix" is short for "Guix System", which is a distribution of linux. There's also the "Guix package manager".

Honest question: what part of the above portions of copy fail to convey what Guix is?

Oh no, I understand your argument full well. I just think it's extremely shallow. Parents and students have plenty of time to research important aspects of their lives, starting with the experiential reality of the school they're subjected to for several years. One of your argument's shortcomings is the implication that only an a priori decision making process is possible for the over-a-decade process of going to school.

I would argue that these experiential data are more valid than metrics like standardized test scores by ethnicity or "letter grades" that the government gives itself for its school. Ultimately I question the motives behind many of these testing methodologies, because when they're not meant to satisfy the motivation of the student and/or their parents, the student (and their parents) become the product.

But even if parents could choose between multiple public school pedagogical methodologies, many can't simply because it requires selling the family's house and relocating to a different district. It's hard to have time to impact a situation when the situation is already fixed before the fact, but of course then it's not a time issue at all.

Ultimately I was responding to a two-sentence comment from you. I don't think complaining that my response was "bare minimum" is an appropriate way to handle the challenge, and I find the resort to name-calling about the "age of 4chan" particularly off putting.
I find the portrayal of Rust adherents as members of a religious cult to be unflatteringly appropriate.

The question I have to ask myself repeatedly about consumer technology is “what does the manufacturer expect ‘normal people’ to do?” Anytime I’m confronted with moving a video from my computer to a relative’s iPhone or trying to load music from a cloud service into Apple Music/iTunes, I ask myself this and usually just conclude that normal users would give up and I do too. Then I crawl back over to my desktop (running OpenBSD) and pretend to cry.

You contradicted yourself in your own post. If there's no evidence that they're dumping it in the ocean then what exactly are the US companies supposedly aware of?

The fact is that US companies are paying for a disposal service. What that disposal service does is up to them, and if they just throw in the water then it's their fault alone. Maybe there should be some regulations there to ensure recycling companies actually do some recycling.

Good food for thought. A lot to consider there.

I think besides the dichotomy of finding your in-group necessitating more clearly defining the out-groups and the harm that can come with that, there's also an underlying question of whether or not being able to so easily "find your people" is a positive thing in sum. It certainly seems positive for marginalized people and for niche fandoms and geekeries and all the usual ways we think about it, but on the flip side of the coin, the same ease also exists for hate groups and those seeking to cause harm.
The principle of skin in the game doesn't merely improve the situation for picky people, it brings up the average improving the situation for everyone. If picky people at large boycott a particular school, everyone who is friends with these people will boycott it by association, and it will lose too many students to remain solvent. If picky people prefer giving their business to certain proprietors, those proprietors will open more schools, increasing the likelihood that a person choosing schools using a dart board will strike such a school.

Your characterization of the difficulty of choosing a school is overdramatic. A person could devote fifteen minutes to googling "best schools in {area}", maybe even turning up a government sponsored list. If they ever notice the chosen school is bad, say from complaints of their ward or from bad grades, they would switch schools, improving the situation via negativa.
Possibly because

1. People predict Rust will be more popular in the future, so they're trying to learn/master the language by practicing it.

2. People think speed and memory safety are important guarantees for unix programs.

This is not at all an accurate summation of the author’s purported work and expertise. He is currently a professor in literature, which is why he intros his work/thinking by referring to another author’s “mythological” framing of the drug war. But the author himself was a journalist in Mexico before he became a professor. And throughout the interview he references work/research by other scholars, as well as the work of journalist Gary Webb.

Cars do have accurate weight sensors actually. I’m a former Honda Master Technician. The drivers seat on Honda’s from probably mid 2000 onward have a weight sensor. It’s used to determine the deployment for the multi stage airbags. I hooked up our diagnostic equipment and sat in the seat once to see how accurate it was. And it’s very accurate. However most people sit with their feet on the floor, so it doesn’t show the proper weight. But lift your feet up, and it was accurate to within a pound of my actual weight.

However, this is FUD, because Honda didn’t do squat with that data beyond the airbag system. It wasn’t collected or transmitted. It was simply used at the moment of airbag deployment to determine if it should deploy the airbag in fast or slow mode.

So you’re right to call the articles claim BS, but you’re wrong if you think there isn’t an accurate weight sensor in the car.

I can’t remember if the passenger seat had one too. I don’t think it did. The dual-stage airbags are really only relevant for the driver side because of the steering wheel.
The microg lineageOS builds only allow system apps to spoof signatures so it should be fine. And even if any app could do it its still only bad if you get apps from an untrusted source.

Even though of course nothing beats the power of a set of standardized and ubiquitous tools that you can always count on whenever you find yourself on a new machine, I must admit that I'm favorably inclined toward this trend (or what I perceive as one) of rewriting classic CLI tools with sometimes radical performance improvement promises, but most importantly (for me at least) better UIs: `grep` has always been acceptable for me, but I prefer `ag` these days, and I recently discovered `fd`, which seems like it will replace `find`, as I could never remember its weird syntax, even for the most basic cases.
You're ignoring cost. Want to build software like we (were supposed to) build 737s -- to always work? Watch your costs go up by (rough guess) 10-100x.

We've generally made a decisive choice for functionality and cost over bugs.

Which isn't to say that I don't agree that there are areas: self-driving cars, airplanes (required here), human diagnostic software (already required here), etc that should have much tougher standards. But across the board ... I don't think people are willing to pay for that.
I wish the mandated minimum MTUs of IP were just a bit bigger. Ubers traffic must be so transactional, they could really just use individual UDP packets for most messaging.
I think a lot of this has to do with a shift of our worldviews from previous generations. People are growing more fearful, and have less trust in long term commitments like marriage working out and they view life decisions as more risky and not worth the effort versus the payoff. I don't share this view though.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
I believe it is more of a 'use case' of the platform. Personally, I abhor and avoid anyone who sells paid advertising slots within their 'natural' photos, but I get that there are some people who will deliberately do this for $$$, and that there are product manufacturers who will pay people with an audience to do this.

I tend to follow niche manufacturers (of guitars or other handmade instruments) directly because I am interested in their 'behind the scenes' photographic essays. No need for me to see them draped over someone who has no idea about the product but will happily drape them over themselves at some ubiquitous beach sunset shot.

I don't think it is a 'class' thing as much as it is a 'positioning' thing.
I don't know about "the job itself doesn't require specific skills," I think it's more that the skills are "soft" and thus much harder to measure. A consultant's job often involves listening to a lot of people and collecting a lot of data and then synthesizing all of that into actionable recommendations... but then again, consultants are often hired just to confirm whatever a manager already believes, so their perceived utility isn't actually proportional to their ability.

Yeah, these are tough problems.
The way I treated this on Linux is that /usr is packages installed by the package manager and /usr/local is where ad-hoc compiled (./configure && make install) software goes.

I always assumed this from --prefix=/usr/local being the default in autotools.

From wikipedia: (Historically and strictly according to the standard, /usr/local is for data that must be stored on the local host (as opposed to /usr, which may be mounted across a network). Most of the time /usr/local is used for installing software/data that are not part of the standard operating system distribution (in such case, /usr would only contain software/data that are part of the standard operating system distribution). It is possible that the FHS standard may in the future be changed to reflect this de facto convention.)
Correct. QUIC also implements TLP. Main advantage is deployability since this is a user-space solution.
The ads business model is legal and works for billions of people and millions of companies around the world. In the context of your specific complaint about "behaving ethically", that's entirely your subjective judgement and irrelevant because giving you the choice to do what you want is about as morally good as it gets.

If you don't like the model then don't engage. But claiming that it doesn't behave ethically because you just don't like it is silly.
