> You guys in the States have it bad. I hear terrible stories about the fear that now surrounds any kind of freedom for kids. Over here in the UK we’re a bit better, but the “give them exams ALL the time” and schools being on their knees, financially, are all too familiar

Of course, this is all because of lies and locked-in unintended consequences. The schools have no practical reason to be on their knees financially, they are that way because of the politics of employing teachers.

There are school districts in the U.S. where it costs in excess of half a million dollars to successfully fire a provably-incompetent teacher or administrator. It is so expensive that many schools continue to pay full salary to teachers and administrators who only come in to work to prevent their firing. Some of these teachers and administrators are so useless or counter-productive that they are physically separated from the productive parts of the school.

The fact is that school funding has increased dramatically, considerably faster than the real costs of running a school; and the schools which receive the most funding are often near the bottom in performance.

Every time we see a school that actually works, people instantly jump to find some moralistic or social justice narrative to explain why we shouldn't make more schools like that. When charter schools do well, the public school unions and other fearmongers come out to complain that the executives live well, or that the students are cherry-picked (even when admissions are done by raffle!). They often do not qualify for the same compensation, and yet tend to greatly outperform public schools in the same jurisdictions.

A major problem in U.S. schools seems to be a lack of standards. They allow troublemakers to drag down entire classes, for fear that they may be seen as "excluding" that student. Meanwhile, a whole generation of otherwise-promising youth are increasingly illiterate, unfamiliar with civics, and generally incapable of living life in any productive capacity. Here in Canada, there's been a similar depressing turn for the worse, though in slower motion (as is often the case with things like this).

I personally think the U.S. and Canada have altogether too much childhood. Dating girls my age or younger (being in my early twenties), I often find myself cringing when I realize that the person I'm meeting has never done anything productive before, often never even one household chore, aside from their own laundry. I've been paying net taxes since the age of 17.

It is fine and in fact good to be attached to your family; but by the time you're free to agree to contracts, vote, and make other unilateral decisions for yourself, you should have had the experience of needing to do something productive, to take care of yourself or someone you love, or to make a decision with real consequences.
Yup.

This is my experience as well in the UK. I don't remember ever seeing the same doctor more than once.

I do however have the same dentist each time. I'm not sure I've benefitted from that in any way, he probably sees thousands of patients each year and he doesn't appear to remember anything about me or recognise me (not that he would have any reason to, I don't have any oral conditions)

My way of approach to learning;

Actively maintain non-stop curiosity about everything and Train yourself to quickly grasp the "kernel" in any subject i.e. learn to identify the "heart of the matter". When it comes to learning there are no time constraints, no competition and nothing matters outside of "grokking it" to your own standards.

Do lots of Internet research, Identify offbeat subjects/people, Browse bookstores and keep buying Books :-)

Always be on the lookout for something different from the commonplace and the norm. Generally, the "populace" only looks at the obvious, popular and the lowest common denominator. Hence identify people/books who are contrarians, look into nooks and crannies of various subjects and try and understand their viewpoints. Breadth of mind and a willingness to give-up cherished beliefs when proven wrong are a must.
Samsung devices support WiFi Direct, so you don't have to be on the same wifi network to send/receive files and the solution is standards-based.

In theory, other Android devices support WiFi Direct too, maybe they just don't ship userspace apps for that, like Samsung does.

Well, model 3 is maybe a bit smaller but they are both more like sporty sedans than the model x.

Your comment might also be why the model 3 is selling like hot-cakes at the moment. The model 3 is also very efficient compared to the i-pace and charges faster. One sentiment that might be true regarding what you value in your car is that the model 3 is a better EV and the i-pace is a better car.

As for size, I recently got to compare my model x to my cousins i-pace and the internal size difference is quite substantial. The i-pace is however a very fun car to drive and it doesn't require that you go full 17" screen and strip the physical buttons. Some people value that too.

The article is about a specific government program of "firefighting goats" ("Cabras Sapadoras") that was launched last year. The concept itself, of course, is not new.
It's not a different job though. Everyone at a startup shapes the product. That's just what it's like working at a startup. That doesn't mean developers in startups aren't software engineers.
This was always my understanding of the word too, but I've just looked it up and apparently a protégé is just "one who is protected or trained or whose career is furthered by a person of experience, prominence, or influence" so in a mentor-student relationship the student could definitely be referred to as a protégé.

I think this kind of comments illustrate a difference in thinking between engineering and law. Engineers need specs, but the law is not a spec in the sense that engineers use it.
Regarding "Seek Out Problems and Iterate", it's a bit of an understatement how important this is. I've invested a lot of time helping my coworkers understand the distinction between tasks and problems. The end goal being only tracking problems in the ticketing system. It's not easy to do this and it takes constant effort, but it pays off very quickly. I've yet to see a real "problem" ticket stay unresolved for a long time, whereas "task" tickets tend to stay around until they're either irrelevant or they get closed after getting kicked between a few people.

A good example of this is:

- Add worker thread for X to offload Y

When the actual problem is more along the lines of:

- Latency spikes on Tuesdays at 3pm in main thread

Which may be caused by a cronjob kicking off and hogging disk IO for a few minutes.

A good rule of thumb I've found is that task tickets tend to have exactly one way of solving them, whereas problem tickets can be solved in many ways.
Is it less law to require a specific law for every single illogical differentiation, or to have a general principle that can be applied in a logical and consistent fashion?
Now, how do I convince my management this is a problem?

This.

I never understood why car manufacturers all make such weird wacky electric cars. When the Model S came out it was such a relief that finally there was a _normal_ looking electric car.

What I want is an electric 5-series, not the wacky i3. Don't change the appearance, just the drive train.
It doesn't happen that often, that's the point. People are afraid everything and everyone. We euros tend to forget how big USA really is. Of course all sort of shit happens.
Some templating languages such as Jsonnet[0] add built-in templating and just enough programmability to cover basic operations like templating and iteration.

I originally felt it was overly complex, but after seeing some of the Go text/template and Ansible Jinja examples in the wild, it actually seems like a good idea.

Perhaps we should more strongly distinguish between “basic” data definition formats and ones that need to be templated. JSON5 for the former and Jsonnet for the latter, for example.
Ex Jaguar employee here:

The I-Pace is a great car however they can't produce enough of them for demand (the waiting list was around 8 months when I left and was growing). The tooling in most of the factories is still configured for ICE and they are now repurposing some of the car factories in the midlands to be dedicated to electric vehicles.

EVs are still luxury market focussed, even with my salary I couldn't afford an E-Golf, unless I leased it.

BMW electric Mini is due to go on the market in spring 2020 - they’re manufacturing them now in Oxford. I guess that counts as a 'real electric car'. Whether it’s a great one remains to be seen.

Range is not as great as the 3 (150 vs 210 miles IIRC?) but it’s a smaller car, so doesn’t have as much room for batteries as the 3 or S do.

Strange article - essentially comes down to "If you need to know, ask, because no one understands - or probably even reads - documentation anyway."

It's not obvious how thinking about programming as theory building will help with any part of this. The real problem seems to be poor communication between projects and developer groups, with the implication that any self-guided learning approach can't possibly work because it's impossible to communicate the "why" of code without having someone who does understand it explain it to you.

It's an interesting point, and in some ways explains a lot. But I see no reason to think that "theory building" - which really means teaching domain expertise external to the code - is a practical solution in most projects.
But what if the definition of 55 changes? You'll be glad to have your table of constants then.
No. There's no requirement they invest the loans in the Vision Fund. Nor is there a requirement to take out the loan.

We already see something similar at law firms - partnership in a firm means literally buying into it, and one of the perks you receive at many law firms is the ability to take out a loan at favorable rates, particularly to help with said buying in.

Depends on the lawyer.

I've met lawyers who charge $350 for a handshake.

I have met other lawyers who do a huge amount of work for a small amount of money in a context where I end up learning just how I don't know what I am doing and they do.

I have copied consulting contracts out of Nolo Press books and had the other party refuse to sign them.

I have had lawyers look at a contract and realize it didn't make any sense at all.

I worked at a startup which had a high concentration of ex-lawyers who wanted to get into startup life and some of them were highly effective at dealing with huge clients, in fact they carried the business on their shoulders.

Medium: Software developers can survive the coming tech crash
Of course it is not an end goal. But a quarter as much code has (in general, everything else equal) a quarter as much bugs, a quarter of the amount of code to read and understand for new hires a quarter as much code to take into account when adding new features. But none of these things are easy to measure or demonstrate. It is just easier to see that Ma8ee took 1.5x weeks to write 10,000 loc while other developer wrote 40,000 loc in x weeks.

OP/Author here. We have been working on INTUITION.DEV open source for almost a year. First we started with a generator: SASS to css and Pug to html. Then we added a WebAdmin editor so you can edit the pages/app. Then we added other needed things.

Commercial low-code all use their own specific proprietary language that may not work for SEO and may not cross-compile to mobile.

Is it ready for use? INTUITION.DEV has already been used and tested in a commercial project that allows a market researcher to send and analyze surveys—and, everything works!

But documentation is lacking and may not be as smooth as other early-stage open source projects. At least you get the idea, and you can write a generator and then add WebAdmin editor and you have a decent productivity tool.

I started working on INTUITION.DEV after I was convinced that low-code tools in the hands of end users may make them more productive than a professional developer using currently popular approaches.

Happy to answer questions.
Thank you! Would love to hear your feedback!
Single Point of Failure:The Fictional Day Google Forgot to Check Passwords(2014)
This shouldn't surprise you, but if the effect is large and real, you don't need large sample sizes to prove something. As an example, a loaded die that always comes up with 6. After 18 straight 6's in a row, you are more than assured that you have a loaded die. I imagine that a rational person is convinced long before the 18th 6.

The point is: large samples are only needed to measure small effects. Most studies nowadays need large samples because the large effects are low hanging fruit and were noticed quickly (in the past). Meanwhile, finding a single black swan proves that not all swans are white.

This study proves that in even a small selection of scent dogs, you are going to have dogs which are highly affected by handler signals. You might be able to use the methods of the paper to exclude dogs which pick up on handler signals and therefore improve the training regimen of scent dogs, there is no evidence to support this possibility however.

It's an interesting example of conflicting domain-specifics - in this case law vs technology - justifying a valid non-common-sense interpretation.

Law seems to have quite a few cases like this, where "Well, obviously..." just doesn't apply for good reasons, even though the end point of the argument may look ridiculous to outsiders.
This mindset is what leads to utterly incapable people being hired as seniors. If nobody is willing to hire junior or medior developers, then naturally everyone starts calling themselves senior.

I really disagree with that. A dysfunctional EU is worse than for the EU than countries leaving.

Maybe, maybe not. And if there is, they may or may not have enough bandwidth/power to really flesh out the full product vision. Part of the attraction to startups for some, myself included, is the agency that technical people can gain with respect to what they ultimately work on in an environment where anyone with an idea might get "airtime".
