I have worked in small companies where we were given time to study to gain specific certifications. Other than that, as a professional it is focus on work at work and study to extend my knowledge in my own time at home.

Unless you are at the early stages of your career, I don't see how you can justify learning during work time. Aren't you paid to complete your assigned tasks?
It’s slightly sad that the internet is turning into a bunch of sites that are all based on the same templates. Don’t we need more website builders that are open and creative by design? I understand not everyone has the time to learn how to write html but we should at least be building tools to make websites more interesting and distinct.

Why bother arguing with him. He has made an ideological statement "the blogger is wrong" at the beginning. No scientific argument starts with "the author is completely wrong". They start from constructive arguments, which may prove or refute prior arguments. You are trying to argue to an ideologue, not a scientist, which is futile.
> Regarding "the Amazon provides 20% of our oxygen", I guess it could be debated,

I think it is flat out wrong and not really debatable. Also, focusing on oxygen is not the right thing to talk about because we have so much more oxygen than carbon dioxide.

Before we manage to consume significant amounts of our oxygen, we will have released so much carbon dioxide that a slight dip in O2 will not be a concern.

I used Jolly Phonics with my 2 kids (in Scotland) - they both enjoyed it, and it allowed them to learn all the phonics surprisingly quickly.

I think the major feature of Jolly Phonics is that each phonic is accompanied by an action, which not only makes it fun, but also helps distinguish between similar phonics.

For example, for 'd' you make a drumming motion; for 't', you move your head from side-to-side as if watching a tennis volley.

Can't recommend it enough!

You have to separate social-subjective elements from individually-subjective elements from objective elements.

The objective elements are, simply put, "what is true of the object". And the subjective elements are "what is true of the subject.

Where "object" is the target of understanding, and "subject" is the "understander" -- ie., not the human (as holding organs) but the human (as holding experiences).

When I say, "the code has 100 lines" that is true in virtue of the object. It is meaningful in virtue of various conventions about what a "line" is and what "code" is.

Let's not confuse what is being said for how it is said. The latter is subject-relative, the former is object-relative (ie., objective).

Mathematics is about order. The target of mathematical description is objective (it is instanced by objects, not by experiences). However mathematics as a language is conventional (ie., social-subjective).

What is being said (eg., that there are infinitely many primes) can be said many ways. Each of those ways is only meaningful given a social background.

Likewise, "Architecture" is a term grouping together some -- but not all -- facts about software. (eg., inheritance dependencies, but not comment symbol choice). What is being said requires conventions in which to say it.

OP article seems to confuse these issues mightily and I think would impair someone looking to understand "architecture" without prior experience. It is not merely "what's important". Many things are important.
The "margin notes" are usually ten times more interesting to read than "discussion threads" where few people try to convey their points back and forth.

That sort of argumentation is generally just boring to read, lacks value, and happens between the two or three people involved. As such, it doesn't really contribute much value on a public internet forum and I usually skip all that stuff myself.

You can sense if a comment is written for no one in particular. It washes away all the need to argue, and it humbly gives to each reader what they're willing to accept from it. This can be a lot or nothing but it all depends on the reader, too.

I write comments with a similar idea in mind. I feel that if what I've written might give one person an idea, point of validation, sense of similarity, or a moment to seriously think about something for a while, it's worth posting. I of course do not know beforehand whether this happens or which year it might happen if it does. I rarely write as a direct response to the parent, and if I do I tend to eventually diverge from the "reply mode" to "writing mode".

This confirms my belief that one should find a job they're good at and retire early instead of attempting to improve work-life-balance by trying out "feel-good" jobs. Success at what you're cut out to do makes you happier than chasing the current mainstream moral agenda, saving the world and so on.
Wait, WTF? I'm 43 years old, have been reading at a college level since I was 7, scored at the 100th percentile in the language component of the GMAT, and that's how you pronounce "victuals"?!? How did I miss that?

Point well made!
In my experience, no. If it does, it's negligible.

The general population of the UK is overwhelmingly white compared to eg. the US. Many parts of the UK eg. Scotland it is 98% white or more, so it would be expected that courses in any discipline are going to be overwhelmingly white at universities in those regions.
And their perennial rivals from Oxford are Oxonians. The English class and education systems being what they are, many in both categories will have been students at Winchester College (a "public school", which is to say an old, prestigious, expensive private school), which makes them Wykehamists. If not, perhaps they went to another public school, Shrewsbury School; its students, and people from the county of Shropshire, are of course Salopians.

England is particularly good (if that's the right word) at these but it's not alone. If you're from Buenos Aires then you're a Porteño (because it's a _port_). If you're from Christchurch then you're a Cantabrian (because of a historical association with Canterbury in the UK). If you come from Rio de Janeiro then you're a Carioca (from the name of a tribe that lived there before the Portuguese invaded).
> My point was he hasn't cited that research - if it is concluded ? published? reviewed?

I am far more willing to take the word of an established and respected expert who understand the subject mater than a random internet person with a poorly contextualized citation. You can find the author's published papers on this and related subjects quite easily at the top of the article.

> He seems to be just having a technical rant about a contextual phrase while giving the impression that forests in general, or at least the amazon or equatorial forests do not help maintain the atmospheres oxygen content. That would certainly be a maverick proposition at this stage in Earth sciences.

He is a scientist clarifying a technical subject that has been being misconstrued. There has already been plenty of damage done by people throwing around fake facts and pictures.
> "If you think paying $1 for every $8 in funding for housing is too much, just move to a different city?"

What a useless, unconstructive comment. It's sad that when anyone wants to improve anything in this world, people like you come out of the bushes and say "if you don't like it, why don't you just move!"

> "There's a bunch of graphs showing rents increase, but no real reason for why that's a bad thing."

How thick and delusional can one be to say something like this? Have you taken a look at San Francisco recently? It's littered with homeless people and feces.

> Infinite high density cities aren't all necessarily the best thing

Right, because there's no medium between San Francisco and "infinite high density cities"

> "Maybe if you think too much money is disappearing in these wealthy people's vaults, raise taxes?"

A Land Value Tax would be a great idea. Further burdening the working class laborers who are already being raped by landlords with tax increases would only be more destructive.
This is legit one of the funniest comments I've ever seen on here.
I second your sentiment. I ask myself, if at least one of the reasons behind this is the human need of recognition.

I mean don't we all want our presented thoughts to be seen/read if not appreciated?

But how do if your quirky design is being punished by the search engine overlords, because it doesn't conform to the standards defined by them? By their rules leading to SEO spam and mediocre, conform designs?

Just an idea not totally thought through.

> I think you may not have read the article closely enough

I did read the article closely :)

>> Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis (green arrow). However, the the same plants consume the equivalent of over half the oxygen they produce in their own respiration ... my own team's research suggests this is more like 60%

>> The remaining 40% of the Amazon oxygen budget is consumed mainly by microbes breaking down the dead leaves and wood of the rainforest, a natural process called heterotrophic respiration

The author is stating that the Amazon rainforest is in perfect equilibrium without citing any studies or evidence. There are plenty of studies that indicate otherwise, such as this 30 year survey involving 100 researchers: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14283

> While this analysis confirms that Amazon forests have acted as a long-term net biomass sink, we find a long-term decreasing trend of carbon accumulation.

But even if we accept the author's argument that today the Amazon is in perfect equilibrium -- I think it was misleading of the author not to clarify that in order for any forest to grow, it must be a net carbon sink and net oxygen producer up to that point in the forest's lifetime.

Now the comment that I originally replied to said something different. That comment argued that forests cannot be net producers of oxygen because there aren't "ever growing [piles of wood]" and then he provided the Wikipedia article for photosynthesis as evidence supporting that. That's wrong as I explained above.

You can have forests that are net carbon sinks and net producers of oxygen and you don't need "ever growing [piles of wood]" in order for that to happen.
To solve the append/prepend dilemma there's also X-Real-IP too. (At least the Nginx module does this.) So basically just log the x-f-f and use the other one as the real client IP.

Of course, if you don't control the layers, then probably you should consider those headers invalid for an incoming request.

(Though for email there's ARC to sign the added headers, maybe if someone really wants to provide at least marginally accountable HTTP proxies, they can use something like that.)
Maybe this is well known, but it's still worth repeating (like many things which are true are worth repeating). As a young researcher, I like Vardi's short essays a lot. He has some historical perspective which many of my peers don't have.
It's not "sort of" hacked by an unauthorized outsider! The explanation is pretty clear cut and perfectly believable, no hackers or malice involved at all..
Absolutely. There's this popular sentiment today that says anyone can do/be anything. It's certainly popular in tech, but I have limited knowledge of other areas. Talent is becoming a bad word.

But I'm convinced that one of the keys to happiness is to live a life that plays to your strengths. If you have a natural aptitude to problem solving etc then you could become a really good engineer, or you could become a mediocre violinist. Which is going to lead to a more fulfilling life?

People are born with natural talents. We should be encouraging people to do what they're good at, not telling them they can do whatever they want to.

This is honestly one of the reasons why I left NYC. It's not that I couldn't afford to live there, I'm just against paying exorbitant rents in principle, supporting an aristocracy class receiving money for doing nothing.

Same thing with student loans. Feels like the mafia is taking $1.2k/month of my paycheck. I figured I'd rather just opt out than participate in this extortion.

It's funny how tech, by definition the most technologically industry, is so backwards when it comes to things like remote work. But VCs by definition are so wealthy that they have more money than they know what to do with, so there's no real incentive for them to change the status quo until it's disrupted underneath their feet. It's like the whole "nobody ever got fired for IBM" trope.
Very cool. Now if we can keep corrupt local politicians from destroying our airports and turning the land over to developers (this means you, SANTA MONICA)... transportation might continue to advance.
In World of Warcraft, there isn't any use for hides either. You can only cure them, but then there's nothing to do with the cured hides. The vendor price is static and set by Blizzard, though, so the prices don't change.

Try working a while with the strict ISO-C90 / C89 standard enforced in the compiler, it's tons of small (and some not so small) differences. With the usual clang/gcc extensions most of the pain points had been fixed long before C99 came along though.

> You get a bit of a grace period when starting grad school, and shorter ones when starting a postdoc or a faculty position, but the ability to stumble around a problem and explore it from multiple angles has become an incredible luxury.

I don't think you are overstating or misstating the problem. The economic incentives do prevent certain kinds of long term research programs, but they only slow down other kinds. What grants demand is that research publish often. So researchers have to plan ahead and mostly only pursue avenues that can lead to publication with a year or so of work.

If they can break down a big research goal into small yearly chunks, some of which can happen in parallel even, that big goal will eventually be reached. Of course, what slows down things is that a lot of effort have to be repeated per paper. Part of it is new grad students that have to learn everything from scratch, part of it is just the writing down of the paper and going through the review process, etc.

But if the research program can't be broken down, then its some prof working on it on the side while they scramble to publish enough to keep their job/funding. Usually, they don't make much progress and for all intents and purposes the research goal has been prevented by the system's incentive structure.
If the ads are a real world problem and there's alternative we would know about it, marketing or not. It's not a shower gel or mascara, it's a lib used by a lot of people to do their work, so people will eventually converge into using the one that does the job best (or the one that pisses them off the least)

For single-file libraries (declaration and implementation in one header) it's sometimes more convenient to include the header implementation into a C++ file (and not compile the implementation in a separate C file).

Also, compiling C code in C++ mode might trigger a couple more warnings which are actually bugs.

But these are the only reason I can think of compiling C code as C++.
In french, the phonics method is called "syllabic". It's also called "B.A. BA" as it is generally the first pair that is learned.

"B.A BA" is also used as synonymous of the basics knowledge of any domain, equivalent to "101" in english.

It seems to me that reading with syllabic is the first time we learn how to solve a problem by decomposing it into many simpler subproblems. This seems like a great teaching in addition to being able to read.
Could I ask how you know so much about this, or where I can read something more detailed than the usual story that's reported? Thanks.

Either case seems to require faster-than-light or instant communication between alternative paths that are being tried out, so the distinction is whether the combination of different paths is mediated by another faster-than-light (non-local) particle or whether the combination is axiomatic to the laws of the universe without a particle mediating it?
Come on, that's as objectively false as it gets.

Brainfuck doesn't give you macros, function calls, function structures. It doesn't have names for anything. In other words there is zero syntactic and physical abstraction. The programmer must assemble everything on their own, with extreme repetition, making it extremely hard to see structure, or to change it.

You can't even write efficient code in it since basic arithmetic operations (like addition, indexing) are O(n).

> The author is arguing that the Amazon rainforest is in perfect equilibrium without citing any studies or evidence

The author argued no such thing, You are making up claims adn attributing them to the author, so perhaps an even closer reading of the blog post would be beneficial.

>> So, in all practical terms, the net contribution of the Amazon ECOSYSTEM (not just the plants alone) to the world's oxygen is effectively zero. The same is pretty much true of any ecosystem on Earth, at least on the timescales that are relevant to humans (less than millions of years).

The paper you cited is talking about carbon dioxide, not oxygen. The net effect on global O2 levels of carbon sequestration is minimal and not significant on human time scales. That same carbon sequestration has a significant impact on global CO2 because there is much less CO2 in the atmosphere.

yes, I have a feeling that Windows people are coming to Linux through "Windows Subsystem for Linux" to reinvent almost 50 years old concept which have been working well. Instead of using small bash which is everywhere (even in inird), more convenient zsh or Python, they are going to setup Rust environment, download gigabytes of crate dependencies and build a new shell in order to run their web development workflow script. Maybe in the 10 years, there will be Nodejs/Electron-based shell with fancy css animations and primarily mouse control. And tables will be sortable by a mouse click on a column header and searchable in real-time and there will be speech commands for common tasks...
