This was probably a different time and place, but that'd be physically impossible at my school, not to mention seriously stressful and probably useless in the end.

> If children would come home and say that a teacher hated them or was not fair, our response was that you need to find a way to get along.

I hope this is simply a simplification or exaggeration, as it makes me a little sad. Complaining isn't just demanding rectification, but also a request to be heard and understood. If a kid complains and is immediately told to deal with it because that's how the world works, that's gonna provide a not great lesson on their problems being heard.

> Remember, for 15 years, she was either pregnant or just had a baby.

I'm in no place to judge how many kids one should have. But damn, that's intense.

There's this interesting contrast (I hesitate to use the world hypocrisy) between the emphasis on self actualization and responsibility and the strict rules. Like if you're raising a kid to be intellectually driven and curious, why not let them choose the AP courses? Or why force them to study for 2 hours every day if you're giving the whole "make mistakes and learn from it" spiel? How about they fail a test or two and then learn to study?

This ethos of gung-ho strict parenting isn't necessarily bad, but I want to ask these parents: "what if it didn't turn out alright?" What if one of the kids got addicted to drugs? What if they became depressed? Would they have stayed the course? Sure, it didn't happen, but I don't think that's because the parents made sure kids played sports and forced them to change their own oil. And I don't think that families where shit did happen were necessarily doing something wrong. While one can certainly credit the parents for their children's outcomes, there's an undeniable amount of luck involved.

It sounds interesting for sure, but it seems like figuring out the ux for a complex text-based activity like programming would be very challenging.

For example, I do searches of the codebase constantly while coding, so I imagine I'd be reaching for the keyboard a lot anyway since there's no way a gamepad could compete on efficiency when doing something text-heavy like a search.
I don't doubt that these parents have the best of intentions (and I'm glad it worked out for them and their children), but I wonder about the propriety of encouraging it in general: AFAIK, the strongest indicators of adulthood success are general familial stability and social class, not militaristic parenting or forcing your kids to eat their brussels sprout.

Similarly: the value of knowing that you have a place to call home should you fail in college is incalculable, even if your parents aren't paying your tuition directly. I know that feeling of safety helped me during times of stress, and that the absence of such certainty exacerbated similar feelings in less some of my friends.

Sure, many of those kids will be spoiled and not learn the value of hard work and flame out, but enough of them will be able to utilize that advantage that people in this situation will not be able to compete for the limited number of middle class jobs available.

Given WASM's 32 bit address space, you can effectively validate a programs memory access statically, with a one time initialization in virtual memory - for instance if you'd like to restrict all WASM memory to 64MB, you can allocate/map it to the top of a 4GB virtual address space, effectively giving it a start address of 4GB-64MB.

Since OS/process virtual memory bound checking is handled by the hardware, the one time setup above will lock down WASM memory access to within the 64MB, without software runtime overheads.

This is exactly why WASM memory was picked to be linear (unlike virtual memory that can have holes in continuity)

Part of the problem is the concept that programming is "engineering". It explicitly is not, it doesn't have a defined set of criteria for evaluating design or ensuring results.

"Doing Agile" doesn't qualify as "engineering", CMMI level <5 isn't engineering. Even CMMI level 5 is only engineering in a very small domain. Most shops claiming CMMI level 5 are only qualified in one particular aspect of software development.

So we're still in the "master/apprentice" and "journeyman guild" days of our profession. But Universities and Colleges are desperate to sell their 4 year "software engineering" degrees, so cover up the lack of rigor with a mountain of bullshit.

So the first step to really establish software development as an engineering discipline is to stop fooling ourselves. Being able to "refactor my FactoryManagerFactory class" is not engineering.

When a programmer has to sign off and take liability for any failures like a PE does on a bridge is when we'll be able to say we are "engineers" with a straight face.

I think they do, but I'd say that's a good thing - a natural development and evolvement of your taste. Slowly and after collecting countless more reference points you learn to view art, work, things in context and comparison to other works.

Of course this also applies to the things that once inspired you at the start of your journey - now you can see if they stand the test of time (and developed taste) and still impress after having dug much deeper into the subject, genre or category. After all Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue", which was probably a starting point for many listeners trying to get into jazz, certainly still is an alltime classic and favorite of experts and enthusiasts.
> Even for HN, these are some of the most empathy-deficient comments that I've ever read.

That seems badly exaggerated, unless I'm missing some horrible comments. As for "Even for HN": this is the kind of putdown of the community that I feel compelled to respond to, since no one else will. Yes, people post unpleasant things to Hacker News, often without realizing it. But the overwhelming majority of users here are far from empathy-deficient, and relative to the rest of the public internet, particularly not. You might be running afoul of the paradox of HN being a non-siloed community, which I wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19931510.

Putting down or dissing the community that you're participating in is actually a subtle form of vandalism: why should we bother taking care of it if it sucks so much anyhow? It's also a way of keeping one's distance from others: I'm not really part of this icky group—I'm here, but I'm better. Actually anyone here is as much a part of it as anyone else, and while many things happen that make one cringe, so do many things that bring out good in people. We should focus on the latter, because what we focus on grows, and the community's image of itself is pretty shaky. On HN, we also value social cohesion, and that involves bridging a great many wide divides. Only so much of that is possible, but it's precious and deserves taking care of.

Edit: sorry if it feels like I'm picking on you personally. That's not my intent at all. Your comment was otherwise excellent and the information you shared made this thread much better. I'm sorry to distract from that by responding to the least relevant bit. I hate doing that actually. But it's sort of a death by a thousand cuts thing, so we have to respond somewhere.

Are there any significant differences between AnimalCat and AnimalDog? Feels like there can just be an "animals" table with an enum "type" field or a one to many animaltype(id, type).

Normally with such hierarchies it doesn't neccesary need to represent the same structure unless there is a significant difference as we can filter by animaltype with a where clause. The same approach cannot be applied to rmdbs design as to oo because the paradigms are different.
I don't even really demand that ads be blocked. Ultimately you can't do that, due to paid product placement. It would be like blacking out the Reese's Pieces in the movie ET.

I just want stuff throttled.

I mean everything, not just ads. Sometimes the non-ad content eats too much memory or CPU time, causing me to lose control of the computer. Web browsers have been really lax about restricting resources. It is not OK to let a web site kick off 12345 threads, suck up 42 gigabytes of RAM, and attempt to download at gigabit speeds.

For the CPU, I prefer that all but one tab of one window be suspended. (and I can override) In there, the number of running threads shouldn't exceed the number of my CPUs.

For the RAM, there ought to be a per-tab limit that doubles each time I give the OK. Attempts to exceed the limit cause the tab to be suspended until I authorize more RAM.

That is no longer true - on several sites (eg. Ars Technica), ads are loaded and refreshed after a short period.

Auto-refresh ads still do most of the work on the ad servers and very small amount of resources are eaten on the user side in the browser. This too is done with a predefined logic which are user-action based or event-based. Time-based auto-refresh ads are only seen on bigger sites which usually have very high average session times. So regular news and clickbaity sites won't necessarily have those. Auto-refresh ads are only served by bigger ad networks which server bigger sites, Google Adsense do not allow auto-refresh ads. Google Ad Exchange does but that network is for bigger sites. This weeds out all the potential scammy/spammy sites which go for exploiting user resources like cryptominers do.

What's wrong with either of those things?

A three-year-old isn't going to do a "good job" cleaning a bathroom; the article even says that. The point is to teach the kids that someone has to do those things, and to expect them to pull their weight in the household.

As for an eight-year-old doing laundry... why not? It's not like it's physically demanding.

One needs to recompile with a brand new checkout.

Most of the time buildsystems work. Including one in Visual Studio. But I have never encountered a system that would always work flawlessly. From time to time one gets things like changes not detected or something else going haywire and one has to do make clean and just redo the whole thing.

Another thing is when your'e doing profile guided builds then one has to do a full rebuild after each profiling run.
> This was probably a different time and place, but that'd be physically impossible at my school, not to mention seriously stressful and probably useless in the end.

Can confirm. Took almost 20 AP classes in highschool, alongside some college classes once I had exhausted the entire highschool AP curriculum. All of my own accord - which I only mention because it would probably really get this author going. No one asked me, or even suggested it. I even had to go break through some bureaucratic tape to make it happen.

When I went to college, I realized it did not make me smarter, or more capable, or even have a better work ethic than my peers that took 2-4 AP classes throughout their whole highschool curriculum.

In fact, I found my work ethic was a bit worse - my work ethic was optimized for passing AP exam after exam rather than absorbing the information in-depth. I had become a master of heuristics/intuition, but class itself very much became an "in through one ear, out the other" affair, where I'd retain the minimum necessary key points and forget these shortly after the semester concluded.

I've been frustrated for years by the problem of producing paged media (e.g. stuff that is supposed to go on paper) through open source means. Yes, there's Tex and its ilk, which is a great typesetting software, but hard to learn, and hard to adapt (in my opinion). Then there are expensive commercial options.

Currently I think the best solution is a headless browser, I use chromium+puppet, plus polyfills like paged.js. Now I can finally have most of the CSS paged media features, including page references.

Then there is the topic of word hyphenation. Chrome technically supports it through CSS, but in practice that is harder to achieve, afaik due to problems with distributing the dictionaries. There are again polyfills. I also think there should be a way to train a neural net on existing hyphenations to hyphenate virtually anything else in a sensible fashion, including fantasy words.

Without hyphenation, text justification doesn't work properly. It's also a good way to save space in tabular layouts, even if just for display on-screen.
