> This question has been studied for over 100 years and the answer is ALWAYS NO.

I always hear this brought up, but I’m not sure one should be so confident in that conclusion. The answer could always be “no”, but that doesn’t mean the answer is right. Using obviously-incomplete data to come to a conclusion like that seems to imply an agenda.

An honest answer would be “we really don’t know”. If most illegal aliens don’t report the crimes of other illegal aliens, isn’t there a possibility that illegal aliens do commit more crime than US persons? There certainly is! Also, look further into the murder imprisonment rate differences between illegal aliens and US persons.

"The personal injury team at Penningtons Manches LLP has successfully negotiated a settlement of over £10,000 for a client who was injured during a wedding at a prestigious county manor house.

The claimant attended the wedding with her partner in September 2014. They decided to leave the celebrations at around 11:30pm and make their way back to their on-site accommodation. The claimant was required to walk across the manor garden in order to reach her room. Unfortunately, there was inadequate lighting along the route and they found the lawn to be in darkness, with only a small light in the far distance to guide them. Due to the poorly lit area, the claimant walked from the lawn and over the top of a brick wall, falling 3 feet downwards into the grass area of a 'ha-ha'."

According to my parents (who were actually alive then), there was a backlash against more traditional educational approaches (particularly anything involving memorization) in the '60s. Education reoriented towards teaching students to be creative and think critically rather than accept received wisdom. Whole language caught on as part of that -- teach kids to _think_ rather than just follow an algorithm. Unfortunately in this case the algorithm is a fundamental necessity needed for higher level work.

Edit: commenter below links to Tom Lehrer's New Math, and yeah the crap they made me do in math class ("write a paragraph reflecting on what you learned about multiplication") is also an instance of this 60s reaction against rigorously and uncritically learning foundational material so you can do meaningful critical thought once you've mastered the basics.

But that particular super-famous German who lived in Princeton, NJ is also recognized as a German physicist. To say he was already quite accomplished when he left Europe would be an understatement.

Personally, I think if an immigrant of descendant of immigrants invents something prominent, it is fair for both countries to be proud of the accomplishment, and share that enthusiasm. It doesn't, or shouldn't hurt anyone. If anything, you are affirming accomplishment, not putting other people down.

An (analog) slide rule is a whole lot faster than doing digital arithmetic. But it’s approximate, yielding about 3 digits of precision, or maybe 4 digits on a large slide rule.

With an abacus or with written numbers, you can get 10 digits of precision (or 50) if you are willing to put the work in.

I have a question about trees:

If trees sequester carbon in their trunks and release oxygen, what do they use the oxygen for at night, and how come they are oxygen-neutral, do they store it somehow?

Also, if the Amazon is a carbon sink today, what about if there was dieback? It would turn into a carbon source, but how? Don’t the “unit economics” of trees remain the same?

I think that terms like "should" or "ought" are toxic. I can try to express ideas in an objective way with limited assumption, starting with how I present the ideas.

Sounds like it.
A couple decades ago phonics was a huge issue in the culture wars. For people of a certain age and political bent phonics represents a dumbing-down of early education; a concession to lower-class kids and especially of minorities. As I recall (as an adolescent observer) the debate overlapped with the controversy regarding ebonics, with which phonics might be somewhat conflated in people's minds.

If there's an analog today it's Common Core, or something related to Common Core. It doesn't lend itself as well to us vs them politics, though, as it's mostly a constellation of issues about which everybody has something negative to say. And I think that's true more generally--K-12 education is a quintessential political talking point. Everybody has strong opinions, they're just all largely the same uninformed opinions. It takes effort to keep people split along party lines, so you don't see the same persistent talking points across the years. Take vouchers--briefly a strongly divisive issue along party lines, but now a very muddy topic. People still have strong opinions, there's just no simple narrative for the media to play on.
I second aldaily. An amazing website that I've loved for many years.
I sometimes wonder if we need a better phonics. Doing it by letters feels crude, it requires a big gestalt moment when the kid puts the sounds together, and overemphasizes our very malleable vowels.

Something based more on syllables would seem better to me. Consider a simple work like “back”: kids sound out buh-ah-kuh which is a completely crazy version of the real word. You can’t say a B without a vowel, but instead of using the actual vowel (a) consonants usually get an “uh” added to them.

Learning syllables means learning maybe 5-10 times as many sounds, but then it’s also easy to add “ing” and “sh” and all the many combinations of letters that can’t be individually decoded.

The second problem is the kid has to pick out those letter combinations even though words are just a stream of letters. I wonder if it would be supportive to write the words in multiple colors to show the internal structure?

I feel like this must all exist already in some curriculum...?

A lot of education experts (teachers, and worse, education academics and bureaucrats) are intelligent, white, upper-middle class people who are interested in academic stuff.

They remember how BORING it was to be forced to memorise times tables and phonics in primary school like the low socio-economic kids. Their parents had taught them to read and do basic arithmetic long before the rest of the class, and they might have benefited a bit of acceleration, so surely making the whole class skip the boring stuff would benefit everyone?
In the article they mention an experiment where they showed readers words in and out of context, to determine whether cues are important. It seems they could repeat this with phonetically simple and phonetically difficult words, and see if there is a difference.
Can you name one that does not have a phonetic system as well?

Sorry, if you're using TOR on discord I probably don't want you there. Gaming yields insane toxicity, grooming of kids, harassment, stalking and other bad shit. People using TOR, Jondonym or HMA or something else to hide who and where they are, are free to browse the web with pseudonymity. I've had people stalk me in RL, showing up at my place of work and doxxing my address.

For that matter, I've seen weird, creepy old men playing with kids that they're in no way related to. ESRB rating doesn't keep squeakers out. There is more than enough reason to ban VPNs and TOR from gaming servers, and related communication services.

All games should be doing it. Yeah, you're vulnerable if someone owns them but guess what? You already were with TeamSpeak, Ventrilo and other alternatives, which you can use if you don't like the verification policy that companies like Steam also enforce if you wish to participate. I'd be okay with Steam banning VPNs and TOR, too. They're not pioneers of it, either. For a time, SOE did the same thing with blanket bans of VPNs and TOR. Which was a relief, with adults wandering around in their child-targeted games. Much less the wastes of space in the EverQuest trolling and threatening.
There is not enough of actual substance here to know if this is anything more than marketing on the publisher's part. The sorts of things that matter most for independent developers - milestone definitions, payment structures, royalty splits, marketing commitments - aren't touched on here and would vary on a contract by contract basis regardless.

Even with industry leading terms, the publisher isn't making the game. The culture and leadership of the development studio will dictate whether and how they crunch, who has a creative voice, and how developers are compensated. There are plenty of publishers and alternative funding sources that allow for good outcomes for developers who want to make games in an ethical way. It's not clear what Modern Wolf's key differentiator is.
This is already being done. In fact, that's central to almost any phonics course. Phonics isn't about letters in isolation. It's about letters in context. You start with the basic sounds, and quickly move onto letter pairings / groupings and how they effect the sound.

To use your example, the -ack suffix is shown with a whole bunch of words on a single card to make the idea plain: back, sack, pack, black, tack, etc.

So what you suggest is quite common in home and private school curriculums.
Well, you have to make the go statement in lexical scope in order for the tagbody to work... that seems reasonable enough to me. You specifically stated:

> Implement an O(1) jump table in Common Lisp that respects the lexical environment.

You don't know the lexical environment until there's a lexical environment to know, you can't have your cake and also eat it (or not have your cake and also know it).

Interestingly, try/catch also solves this problem fairly elegantly without distastefully consing up a list or array at run-time.

(defun jump2 (i)
(let ((location nil))
(tagbody
(catch 'a
(catch 'b
(catch 'c
(catch 'd
(setf location (elt #(a b c d) i))
(throw location nil))
(when location
(print "D!")
(go end)))
(when location
(print "C!")
(go end)))
(when location
(print "B!")
(go end)))
(when location
(print "A!")
(go end))
end)))

I'll leave the relevant macro to the reader, it shouldn't be that difficult... (I'm hoping I didn't just do someone's homework).

In America that idea is absolutely pointless. For almost all children, local property taxes are the source source of education funding. A local school board administers this money and has a huge amount of discretion in spending it with practically no oversight. They were responsible for hiring the previous school administration and will also hire the next,

If you have any idea of how to get out of this situation I'd be thrilled to hear it.
