The "kids who have been taught outside of the standard educational system" seem to be behind for at least two reasons:

1. You have a biased sample. You're getting the failures. If homeschooling doesn't work, parents give up. If homeschooling works well, parents keep at it. You'll almost never see the successes.

2. You don't check everything. If a student in 6th grade is at a 5th grade writing level but is at 9th grade for math and science, you'll really notice the writing deficiency but you won't realize that the math and science are ahead of grade level. This is simply a matter of an incompatible curriculum schedule, the same as if the student arrived from a different country.
I wonder if this move to create a fair payment model for actor/creators, is simply to preempt monopoly criticisms before they launch there own subscription service?

You can be nouns first and still be anti-OOP. I think the objection anti-OOP people have with OOP is the business of folding your verbs up with your nouns, not being "noun oriented."
FWIW... I bet you could power the camera, get a still frame at 60fps, shut it down, and not see the led come on. It would be 1/60, 16ms plus or minus the amount of overhead needed, plus autofocus and exposure correction might make it impractical, but it’s definitely not a bulletproof fix.
Whether or not a threat is credible is a different thing from whether or not the fear resulting from it is reasonable.

The Pi 3 already didn't work with random PSUs or cables one has around.

But it still worked with just a sufficiently powerful PSU, while the Pi 4 requires something implementing the USB-C standard. Honestly, I'd prefer a round plug I could use with a 12V PSU.

> hand-wreckingly shallow keyboard travel

Now, I don't disagree with your sentiment, touch bar is definitely a nuisance without any superior use case over the buttons that were there before... But why do you think this keyboard wrecks hands? It is definitely the fastest keyboard I've typed on, and shallow keyboards are definitely inherently easier on the hands by any metric I can think of
Its going to be hard to retrofit transactions into the POSIX model with anything other than a very coarse granularity. In the SQL model, statements are assigned to a transaction based on which connection they came through. How should POSIX filesystem transactions be scoped?

Without rewriting software, its hard to use anything finer-grained than an entire process tree.

Hey, I'm the author :)

I realize it comes across like I'm super worked up over something no one cares about, but I don't hate the key, I just think it's a waste of space on modern keyboards, and that we should collectively reconsider its purpose. Considering the amount of time we all spend on our computers nowadays, any little efficiencies on their input devices could have a pretty large impact.

I'm also someone who gets really passionate about bad design in everyday life and I have strong feelings about the way I think everyday things should be designed.

On my old laptop, I remapped the key to a new kind of modifier key and made the JKLI keys behave like ←↓→↑ keys when Caps Lock was pressed down. It sped up my casual text input a ton, and that was the first time I started really thinking about it more deeply. I did an HCI study during my undergrad to try and prove that an alternate use for the key could help people input text more efficiently, but it was inconclusive.

I also want to make a Mac app that would turn Caps Lock into Emoji Lock, where it would toggle between normal input, and emoji input. Something like this: https://i.imgur.com/Z5dDVUn.png

I know a lot of people on this site probably don't use emojis very often, but a ton of Mac users do, and the existing methods for typing emojis on macOS (and Windows) are still super awkward and clunky. Unfortunately I don't know how to code macOS apps and I've got too much on my plate right now, but hopefully sometime in the future I'll get around to making that.

And if I'm being 100% honest, I partially wrote this article so that if Apple does indeed replace the key on future keyboards, it'd make me look really good at predicting the future ;)

Anyway, thanks for your feedback.
Ask HN: What courses should I take next fall?
I'm deciding between Computer Science courses next fall and I need some feedback. For the record, I'm a CS major.

Currently, I'm considering the following:
1. Quantum Computing
2. Probability and Stochastic Systems
3. Operating Systems

I'm also open to hearing other suggestions!

Homeless people can own PCs and cell phones, believe it or not. But homeless, broke, college student, single parent, paycheck to paycheck, medical bills, etc. lots of reasons why a $60 game can be completely out of reach for a lot of people in the U.S., so why can't we have subsidized low income pricing here as well, if the whole point of regional pricing is to get games into the hands of people who can't afford to spend $60 on the title?

If you want more low income customers, set the worldwide price of your product lower. Don't arbitrarily ban entire countries from buying your digital game.
In response to all of the well-deserved criticism, Zoom just made two updates to their blog post[1] to announce that they will be completely removing the webserver for all macOS users in a new release tonight, and also adding an option prompt going forward:

JULY 9 PATCH: The patch planned for tonight (July 9) at or before 12:00 AM PT will do the following: 1. Remove the local web server entirely, once the Zoom client has been updated – We are stopping the use of a local web server on Mac devices. Once the patch is deployed, Mac users will be prompted in the Zoom user interface (UI) to update their client. Once the update is complete, the local web server will be completely removed on that device. 2. Allow users to manually uninstall Zoom – We’re adding a new option to the Zoom menu bar that will allow users to manually and completely uninstall the Zoom client, including the local web server. Once the patch is deployed, a new menu option will appear that says, “Uninstall Zoom.” By clicking that button, Zoom will be completely removed from the user’s device along with the user’s saved settings.

PLANNED JULY RELEASE: Additionally, we have a planned release this weekend (July 12) that will address another security concern: video on by default. With this release: 1. First-time users who select the “Always turn off my video” box will automatically have their video preference saved. The selection will automatically be applied to the user’s Zoom client settings and their video will be OFF by default for all future meetings. 2. Returning users can update their video preferences and make video OFF by default at any time through the Zoom client settings.

Edit: the new version is now released at https://zoom.us/download

The president isn't forced to read replies and neither is anyone else, though, that's my point. On a radio call-in show, they are forced to listen, and once again the caller is being disruptive. That the president chooses to read replies and becomes personally offended to the point of blocking people is, (a) shameful and (b) on him. Twitter is free to block anyone not following their code of conduct, and this ruling does not enjoin them from doing so.

The case here is about whether the president can block someone from listening to them solely because they share different political viewpoints. It appears the answer is no.

I think disruptiveness is in fact the crux.

The president's communications are official government communications and "blocking haters" is not a function of the US government. In fact, they're so important, certain arms of the US government get their marching orders from Trump's Twitter feed, horrifying though that may be. Trump is not tweeting in a personal capacity, and if he were, I don't believe this ruling would apply.
First, the dialog doesn't give any indication it can be bypassed in that fashion. Second, users should rightfully be suspicious of "just bypass the security!" install instructions - especially non-technical ones.
Yes, you and skybrian have got the idea. It wasn't magic, it just prevented entire categories of preventable bugs, syntax and semantics.

You could still use it to write correct programs that did the wrong thing. In other words, it couldn't catch bugs that occur "between the keyboard and the chair".

I'm a big fan of thin, fanless machines, and have both a 12" MacBook and a Surface Pro 5. While it's much less powerful, I find the MacBook more pleasant to use (even ignoring MacOS vs. Windows 10) -- way better trackpad, keyboard and screen are rigidly attached to each other, wakes from sleep faster and more reliably. The Surface Book solves most of these problems (and, IIRC, has fanless variants), but I think it's too bulky due to the 13.5" screen and hinge design. I haven't seriously considered a Chromebook due to the software limitations or the iPad due to the lack of a mouse cursor (also software limitations).

In short, with the 12" MacBook discontinued, nobody's making a notebook I'm interested in at the moment. That's fine, though, as my 2015 MacBook is still working great (especially since I just had the battery replaced) and presumably I can still get a refurb if I drop this one in a lake or something.

I think I understand the risk, and I definitely would not bother with such a switch even were it available. So maybe I actually don't understand it.

What exactly is the risk? Have there been any actual cases of someone being spied on with their laptop webcam that would have been prevented by a switch? I'm only aware of cases where the webcam switch would not have helped (e.g. roommate sets up notebook to record owner naked). Even that is incredibly rare, or if not rare, almost never reported.

That's a good point about no particular method working with all children. But first of all, many students are not going to have parents who have the time or the ability to try out various methods until they find the right combination. Like a single mother who doesn't read very well herself, and is working two jobs to stay above water financially.

That leaves it up to the teacher. So what is the teacher supposed to do? And what if one methods works with 90% of students, and then there are 5 other methods that each either work by themselves with a small number of students, or only if combined in some way that is unique to each student?

And let's assume the teacher has 35 students in their class, and a lot of other subjects to teach them. And that a first grader who is not able to read well enough will fall far behind in other subjects, and likely do poorly in school from then on? And one more point. What if a substantial proportion of the students are, unlike your daughter, below average in IQ?

It would seem the smart thing to do is teach them all the 90% success method, and for those it doesn't work for maybe figure out some way to get them instruction in some other method, if that is possible.

Pardon me for saying this, but the fact that you didn't address all these issues makes me think you are looking at this whole issue from the perspective of people in a rather privileged position in life, at least relative to a considerable proportion of students.
No, the major issue is DDoS attacks.

What's going to HAVE to happen is enough competition among providers that you can issue a request to your local provider to filter out traffic, which you will NOT be billed for in any way.

That will actually start pushing pressure upwards to do the same, eventually reaching the backbone and/or across it to other providers, and killing 'spam' traffic will actually work.

As a side bonus this might help ISPs identify infected customers and get some help to them.
For anyone interested in a very different aircraft that might meet more people's idea of homemade, I'm building a 1930s Pou-du-Ciel from scratch according to plans I translated from French.

Yes, the huge taxes are generally for international flights, and I think part of the reason is that, as you say, there aren't a lot of options for those flights so they have a captive market and are thus better able to bear those taxes. If you start with punitive taxes on domestic flights in the EU, it will disproportionately hit the airline industry there.

As with many things, the game with taxes is how to make the incidence of the tax fall more on the consumer and less on the producer. If you can accomplish that, then the tax is more likely to get through because unfortunately we don't have consumer lobbyists anywhere as strong as the business lobbyists.
What you should take away from this article is "community members help each other out with money, the Internet makes communities bigger".

For the Bachelorette, I would assume that most of the donaters were young women that have experienced being dumped - the focus being the "community" (or perhaps it would be better to say population) of young women. It's not just random strangers donating.

This reminds me strongly of this YouTube video where an adjunct professor who's popular in the Magic TCG community asks for money for support, and gets quite a lot of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/35pjuq/tolarian_c...
Doordash lets people place their own orders when placing a group order from a restaurant. You still have to deal with getting people to place their orders though. But I wouldn't want to optimize to much further, as an employee choosing my own food would be more important to me than saving 15 minutes.
Of course. My comment was mostly directed towards the "interesting to see who will insure them against that" part.
That's an interesting take on it. I'm curious what gave you the impression that the example projects were written by anti-OOP developers. I feel like it could go either way. Even as I was reading the article, I was actually thinking to myself how I first observed discipline in data-first thinking from my functional-programming friends.

> But importantly, the bakery can't charge the poor people price for everyone or they'd bankrupt.

In this situation the bakery is basically running a charity funded by the extra money they're getting through price discrimination. That's separate from their role as a business.

The minimum sustainable price in the absence of price discrimination would not be the "poor people price" or the price paid by the rich, but rather the cost of material, labor, and capital which lies somewhere in between. Price discrimination and the absence of arbitrage allow the bakery to charge rich customers more, but it's entirely their choice to use that extra income to provide goods at a loss to those of lesser means. They could instead just keep the extra revenue for themselves.
That’s all well and good but I don’t see how having confidence will help. When you’re sitting in an interview being questioned why you’re 40 applying for an entry level position are you supposed to explain that they’re wrong for asking? Success is a function of social status and higher class people don’t have the setbacks you find on poor people’s resumes. You can waste years studying to be a software engineer and end up unemployed because you’re too old.
This used to be the case, and still is for laptop builds. For desktops, things are far more standardized now and Apple's hardware isn't much different than what is commercially available. A Z370/390 chipset with 7th-9th generation i5 or i7 processor coupled with AMD graphics and Broadcom wireless is pretty vanilla. The 7700k iMacs will be supported for a long time, so I have pretty high confidence that something with nearly identical hardware will similarly not break.
Your device is as secure as you make it. Why are you installing "lord knows what npm package" on your laptop?
Blame for this problem is 80% on RPi, no doubt, but I'd say 20% of the problem is someone deciding to allow multiple cables, some with active components in them.

If they'd instead specified that every detachable USB C cable must be 40 Gbps / 100 watt capable, and any lower-spec cable must be captive to the device (like mouse and keyboard cables are) then this problem wouldn't have happened.
Custom ROMs are rarely developed for Samsung devices these days because Samsung locks the bootloader and makes everything extremely difficult. Buy a device that is more developer-friendly like a Nexus, Pixel or OnePlus and you'll see a much larger selection of custom ROMs.

They're not a "nice to have" - they're what they need to even consider using the browser. Otherwise they might as well be using chrome, or one of any number of other browsers.
No it's not. Your example is not reasonable. The fear of a plane landing on top of you is pretty generic, and the risks are well-known and well-understood to who work closer to planes. The one here is quite reasonable, entirely a result of Facebook screwing up, and not something that's supposed to come with the job the way it did. I outlined these for you and completeness's sake, but they should have been fairly obvious, so I'm not going to entertain more unreasonable comparisons.
