It's not that complicated, just in western societies not much attention has been paid to how the human system works. Most of these cases are self-created, by self-created I mean unconsciously by not handling the system in the best way. Only a small amount of mental issues is caused by external factors. Just paying enough attention to how your system works will solve a lot of these problems.
And all Texas cities basically shut down with any amount of snow or ice. Imagine if there was a blizzard in Houston and some yank was like, “where are their snow plows, snow chains, heavy jackets, insulated pipes, etc?”
I took AP calc in high school, but paid 0 attention and basically plugged all problems into a solver and passed with a mediocre grade. I didn't even end up going to school after that.

> Definitely contributes to my impostor syndrome when doing anything more computer sciencey than a CRUD app.

Agreed, I've started working on low level side projects that involve more math and theory and often find I kicking myself for not caring in school and not furthering my education
Ah yes a technology transfer joint venture
The L points are 'easier' but not any faster. A probe at an L point won't be able to get anywhere any faster than if it were launched from earth directly[1]. And sending a probe on a rocket to park itself at an L point wastes delta-v, as opposed to launching the same rocket directly from earth to the target.

[1] Excepting maybe a target that appears conveniently a the same L point.
That’s like saying “I can fly this plane better than this pilot.” If it’s true, you need to be hiring better pilots.

Why would you respond to emails on vacation? If the rest of the team gets crushed when someone takes their allotted time off, there are bigger issues at play.
Good point.

One way I could try to pre empt this is to say: "nobody was ever fired for answering 4 or 5 to this question"

But I'm not sure how effective that would be.
Please share!

If true, can you say the difference is not due to chance?

(fwiw the GM that I see — whether the scores are based-on elapsed secs, cpu secs or "busy" secs — are a little slower for the Rust programs.)

Perhaps the median score of the Rust programs is faster?
Yes: the people targeted by those ads. "Look! We did something for you! Vote for us!"
Not necessarily...

my son started a mechanical engineering program about 2 weeks ago, and the recommendation from the school was to take Calc at the college even if the student had passed the AP test.

I understand their interests in that, but I also feel like even if my son had done better on the AP test I'd have encouraged him to follow that advice, given how much of the following curriculum relied on that base.
I see what you're saying but I don't agree that they were presenting the officials opinion as fact.

The reason we could criticize it in the first place is that it's clearly the opinion of an official who Politico judged as a credible expert on the matter of how these issues are commonly handled.
A good 1:1 allows the direct report to share personal information, because the personal stuff affects the work. Take into account: yes, because turning a blind eye stunts your ability to manage your team to success. Addressed: during work hours, only insomuch as official company policy and built-in supports apply to the person's situation. Individuals are free to offer whatever other support they feel is appropriate outside of work context (although a good manager will also take into account how this will affect their team now and in the future)
I've been using python for years now, I don't know the last time I had to use `sys.stdin`. I (like most people) deal with `open`, and unicode-only file apis (or the very nice things like flask that mitsuhiko and others have built). For most people, this isn't a problem.

I've migrated literally, 10s of thousands, of files from py2 to 3. I've yet to encounter an issue with surrogateescapes or sys.stdin. Unicode issues yes, but mostly because we were previously being fast-and-loose with unicode vs. bytes, and mishandling, for example, emojis.
However, I don't think the people using Latin for these purposes really think that logical precision is an important reason to do so. The Vatican Latinist I briefly studied with, Reginald Foster, doesn't seem to think that way -- he regularly made fun of people who acted as if "Latin came down from heaven in a gold box".

You might say that the use of Latin has a benefit of precision for the Catholic Church because there are some familiar theological and ecclesiological terms available whose meaning should be clear and which can be matched up with similar vocabulary in older Christian texts. Still, these texts are not using some kind of formal logic, and they don't do a more careful job of avoiding ambiguities than lawyers drafting legislation or contracts in modern languages do.
CRISPR is used against a wide range of viruses all the time -- by bacteria.

There isn't a reason why it couldn't be used against other viruses, although it may be more economical to sip chicken soup for a cold and keep your flu shots up to date.
I couldn't find any, but I think it would be an interesting hypothesis to study.
> Welfare isn't people asking for a handout from society, it's a government program paid for with tax dollars.

That's the definition of a handout. The government is the people, and giving someone money for nothing in return is a handout.

> but it no more has the right to complain about what recipients do with the money than employers do about their employees.

That's not comparable at all. With employers there is an exchange of services for money. With welfare there is no exchange. It's meant to help people on hard times, not be a long term income source.

> People already starve as a consequence to their actions

And I'm arguing the rate would be higher with UBI.

> sometimes because the restrictions imposed on welfare programs by society make it infeasible for people in need to actually participate in those programs

Which is obviously bad, but those restrictions are because of previous rampant abuse of the system. Without them, the system would likely no longer exist.

> no moralizing from the crowd that thinks poverty is sin and moral weakness, and that the poor need to be taught a hard lesson before being granted the privilege of a meal.

Yeah I never said that at all. I'm all in favor of helping people for a limited period when they are down, but the system is filled with abuse.
Yeah, the unobtrusive scrollbars make sense only if you're using a multitouch touchpad or Apple's mouse — as soon as I have to use e.g. some office's basic mouse, chasing those unobtrusive becomes a major pain, to the point I wish Macs would switch to traditional scrollbars if I connect a "plain" mouse. Not that it matters: modern websites tend to completely break scrollbars.
I'm still not seeing how this is any different than Pokemon cards where I saw the same behavior in kids back then. Is it because these days companies have thrown far more psychology at optimizing it?

My landlord's building is worth $5 million ($5,000k) and he pays $3k a year in property taxes. He can evict all tenants and wait for someone to pay him $10 million for the property. He can wait for generations and never pay more than $4k a year because of how prop 13 is structured.

But you do you.
I actually wonder that too.

My impression is that malaria was wiped out in the rich world by methods that we now deny to Africa, like DDT.

I also believe malaria is a human only disease, so if you cure all sick humans fast enough, the disease dies out, and you're left with mosquitos that only suck blood and are annoying.

I suspect the problem with malaria drugs is not producing them at a factory, but getting them reliably into all sick patients in places where there aren't even doctors or roads.

Anyway, you claim this is a real solution: Is anyone actually ready to do this for real? If not, it's not a real alternative to the gene drive.

The intellectual gain is there, but sadly it is wasted on job tasks which are nor intellectually challenging, or even require the knowledge learned during college - EVEN if your education and job is in the same field.

For example, a lot of regular/consumer banking jobs today require a college degree, but did not 15-20 years ago. The job has not changed; The people that work there still mainly help people with savings accounts, mortgages, loans, etc.

But since there are so many applicants for these positions, you now need a Bachelors degree in Economics, Business Administration, or similar.

I've seen job ads for bank greeters and receptionists that required a bachelors.

I have never heard the podcast but have heard the iMore guy who runs it. I'd look at the audience before condemning a consultant for promoting himself. For media outlets that focus on business people trying to get a high-level (Apple "G"genius bar) grasp on technology, I think it's okay to self promote. Now if he was speaking at IEEE conference on engineering, there would only be peers present and he would probably want to open up a bit more.
Misleading title. This is not rainwater, it is a puddle. There are all sorts of creatures living in the dirt.
I very much support achievement based credentialing. Like earning an Eagle Scout. With two caveats.

There still needs to be minimum hours invested. Skin in the game. Even someone with mastery over a topic must still do something constructive, useful, formative. Work on a project. Mentor, tutor others. Teachers assistant. Whatever.

For undergraduate degrees, there still needs to be off topic study. Ethics, humanities, finger painting, banging the rocks together, study abroad, whatever. Anything to expose young minds to stuff outside of their own bubble.
Yeah, sites which permit upvoting of posts and comments and display a total of upvotes received on user profiles are really cancerous.
Just a few nit-picks with what you're saying.

>If you need to just get some generic "good job", then the answer is to learn what you need in the first twelve years of school.

One issue here is "advancement", "innovation", or whatever else you would like to label it as. Schools can't know when a student starts 7th or 8th grade, what technologies will be in use 10 or 20 years later. So schools have to teach general subjects that confer a broad foundation for later trainers to build on. That's just schools doing what makes sense. They can't teach tools and techniques that have a very good chance of not having been invented yet.

The fact that employers are expecting employees to be able to use tools and techniques that are becoming more complex and requiring a bit more abstract thought to use with any sort of facility is exactly the reason employers are asking for college grads. They know there is no way anyone in high school could have been trained on a lot of those tools.

Finally, none of this movement towards universal undergrad precludes high performers from going further in their educational pursuits.

So in short, I do see the whole movement towards universal undergrads. I understand it from the perspective of employers. But I also see where people who maybe got undergrads before everyone had to have them might feel a bit hoodwinked. It's like they were told, "this is the advanced training." And now are learning, "No, that was just the normal training. You have to do more if you want to advance."

Well, when I was a student I tested out of the 2 freshman comp classes. When I was teaching Freshman Comp, it was routine for folks to test out of one or both.

I dunno if that was a great idea, given the skills I was seeing on display from the students who had done that, but personally I did get the credit and was able to avoid the class.
The core problem, as I see it, is of someone else deciding that "unobtrusive" scrollbars are better.

On a mac, to actually grab the scroller for scrubbing, you need to scroll a bit to make it visible and then manage to bring your cursor into a tiny area using the trackpad within a few seconds before the scroller disappears. If you miss, clicking activates window resizing.

UIs need to be functional first. Being pretty should never trump being functional.

Looks interesting! Has anyone seen a copy of the agreement yet? I'd be interested to see how they handle things like guarantees / security, and whether or not there's any longstop date at which they would expect you to make a single payment if outstanding amounts remain.
Did you look at the examples in the article?

"Google rank does not apply to subdomains. The subdomain does not inherit any of the rank of the parent."

Enter coupons.businessinsider.com, coupons.cnn.com, or discountcode.dailymail.co.uk into Ahrefs and you will see this is not true.

"That is why blogspot and s3 will never work in this regard"

The article has multiple examples of s3 parasites ranking for competitive affiliate terms like "Hostgator coupon" and "Bluehost coupon". If you search those terms now you will see sites.google and s3 parasites.

Yes.
Student athletes are such a narrow subset of the overall population of a college, that using them as an example doesn't really make any kind of case about whether subsidies help or hurt.

Going to college doesn't ensure broad knowledge or a quality education, but it sure is a prerequisite to those things in this day and age. And we should try to give that opportunity to as many smart, motivated people as we can find in our country, irrespective of their ability to pay. The alternative is a return to deep class stratification. There's no guarantee that anyone will receive a quality education even at a quality school. Demanding that as a prerequisite to subsidies is like demanding that farmers not lose crops as a prerequisite to subsidizing corn.

As a desktop user of Firefox on Linux I found the two demos with the modified scrollbars subjectively worse than default. As a user I use the scroll bar to (1) identify if a section can be scrolled, (2) identify where in the section I am with regards to the scroll height, and if needed (3) manually scroll by clicking on the scroll bar and dragging with the mouse. The two demos retain these three capabilities but for me make them more difficult and less efficient.

I agree with what other users have said: please do not touch my scrollbars.
In my 20's I would have told you the truth. Now I would lie to you, because I've worked in places that used this sort of thing against their employees.

If it's a 1 or 2 I will assume you want to push it to 3 as well.

It's not great, of course, but there is huge potential downside to being honest.

I think free market forces would work better if we had a culture that was less work centric. We have created a culture that places high value on work ethic, income, and personal achievement. Those are great things, but they are also great qualities for employers to exploit.

If we viewed overworking, putting in 60 hour weeks or doing risky work for more money as something unhealthy and greedy, rather than as commendable, free market forces might work better.
A little perspective. $40k/year is about what glassdoor suggests you should make as the manager of a 7-11. A little one.

Don't be afraid of a temporary career change. I've done it twice to save myself from burnout. We get overly attached to a narrative about ourselves as developers and become convinced that we need an unbroken ladder of the latest gee-wiz frameworks and libraries to stay in the game. Outside of FAANG its mostly not true.

But first, start telling that bully no in the most non-confrontational way you can. Take the most unreasonable demand and politely say in response "no I don't think I'm going to do that". You actually have nothing to lose.

I'm really sorry. I can relate a little about the work anxiety, but a lot about the existential dread.

While I don't have any pat answers for you, I'd like to encourage you about the existential anxiety you feel. If my personal experience is anything to by, you have a few reasons for hope on that front.

First, unless you've thoroughly explored a lot of world views, you can hold out hope that you'll find one that you conclude is true and which gives ultimate meaning to your time on earth.

Second, in my experience the acuteness of existential dread doesn't stay in the foreground forever. At the very least you might find relief by distracting yourself with video games, good movies, etc. But with some effort you can develop friendships that buoy your spirits and take your focus away from yourself.

I hope you play the long game on this. Having been in a similar place as you, I found that life can indeed get much better.
> It all seems like a giant plan to prevent people from starting their adult lives.

I agree with this;

Somewhere where high schools started "college prep" curriculums, students forgot that they were working towards a job. A high school diploma means something; it signals you're trained in core subjects more than ~40% of peers who didn't graduate with one. You should have more job prospects that being a server or cashier as you have a formal education in professional writing and even complex math.

I assume this was lost in the transition to "college prep" curriculum; where trade classes and apprenticeships in high school clearly show you are some degree of about to be an adult and able to enter the workforce in a trade.
Your experience may be exceptional. When money is tight, people make what can send to be strange decisions.

Also anecdotally, I don’t know anyone in SF living in a tent controlled apartment whose name is actually on the lease, they’re all illegally subletting from the actual named tenant to keep the rate locked in.
Desirability determines demand. Rarity determines supply (relative to the entire value on the market). Both are taken into account to determine the price.

My favorite place to view this is Path of Exile in game economy. They do have random loot boxes for cosmetics, but I'm talking about the actual in game economy around items that power up your character. None of which can be bought for real money and instead require time to farm them (RMT does exist but is against ToS and can get you banned).

There are extremely rare items that cost nothing because they aren't used. There are quite common items that have decent value because of how high the demand it. Technically the game doesn't even have a currency, but players found a small set of common but also highly useful items that have become the defacto currency so much so the developers even admit they now count as currency.
This seems similar to Applescript. Someone wants to make a precise language that looks like English and can be read and written by non-programmers. Ultimately you get the reading part, sort of, but writing is harder. You end up with very subtle and precise rules in the grammar which are not as easily inferred correctly as with many common programming languages. Just writing sentences that you think should be correct won't work. You need to fully understand the programming language. So you're back at requiring programmers to work with it.
I do a whole lot of stuff "more computer sciencey than a CRUD app", and I took a whole lot of calclus thanks to my computer engineering degree. I absolutely never use it. You need calculus to design a transistor. So far, I've yet to run into a situation where I need calculus to write code unless the code is literally solving a calc problem, which comes up incredible infrequently.
> I think calling it a 'movement' is part of the problem. We as a society allow this discourse which gives it a legitimacy that it simply should not have.

But it is a movement. That it is has nothing to do with the legitimacy of their goals and ideas. We haven't elevated it by calling it a movement. That we call a spade a spade doesn't imply respect.
