It was always threatened but never actually done in my experience. I had programs for all the formulae we needed to memorize... but also memorized the formulas.

I think it is standardized tests where the "clear your memory" would come up, but again, it was never done. I also don't think they asked any questions where the programs would have been an advantage, either. (The thing that's stuck most in my mind is the quadratic formula. The SAT could ask you "find the roots of this equation", but you don't need to know the quadratic formula to do that... the test is multiple choice so you can just multiply their answers and pick the one that matches the question. For that reason, I don't think they ask that kind of question, but I could be wrong. It has been a while.)
A stack is an over approximation of the closure of the continuation.

You want something to create a union of all the relevant local variables of each state. Doing this efficiently is non compositional and so requires language support.

This makes me think of the Amazon CTO's analysis from Modern Applications on AWS where they push Serverless as the future:

"...we anticipate that there will soon be a whole generation of developers who have never touched a server and only write business logic."

Honestly, which sounds more like a nightmare than a dream. Knowing what your software runs on and how it works is critical if you want to create REALLY GREAT software.

The human brain is wired to make connections, but it's important to step back and realize the universe of "plausible" explanations are almost infinite.

It is nothing more than rank speculation that these two stories are somehow related. The world is teeming with junk science like this, and it can be dangerous and even fatal. (E.g. anti-vexers). That's why I think it's important to recognize it when you see it, and call it out. Even more-so if you find yourself possibly espousing damaging speculation without a scintilla of evidence.
I seem to remember the concentration of CO2 necessary for this to be 10-100 times higher than current. Also made worse on Venus by proximity to the Sun and collapse of the planetary magnetic field. Essentially, the greater solar wind / radiation flux and holes in magnetosphere disrupts atmospheric H2O and H2 is blown off planet, and O2 oxidizes C next (which then falls into a feedback loop with CO2 and H20 vapor driven greenhouse effect)

I'm extraordinarily concerned about global warming, but it's very likely humanity will kill itself well before it can create a runaway Venusian like greenhouse. I think the concentration of CO2 alone is fatal to human life well before that level.

>there already is a cure to chronic pain and it is called correct diagnosis.

There are many many conditions where even with a proper diagnosis there is little help.

One of the easiest things to do with chronic pain patients is to minimize or handwave their pain as transient. There is no surgery for many of these people. No drugs that aren't heavily addictive. Little to no hope of anything but a lifetime of pain.
Pain is sometimes a symptom of something else. The overwhelming belief that pain is always a symptom of something else has held back research for decades.

"At least initially, a clinician probably will assume pain is a symptom of some underlying condition and prescribe analgesics, while focusing on discovering what the underlying problem might be. But if a cause cannot be found, if early treatments fail to bring improvement, and if pain persists for several months, it may progress to the point where it becomes a disease in itself, that is, an abnormal condition that impairs or disrupts normal bodily functioning (this is almost always chronic pain). Then, regardless of the initiating process, cause, or underlying disease, the clinician must focus on management of the pain condition in order to assist in restoring the individual to a better state of health. This is not to say that all pain is a serious disease. When pain is a disease in itself, however, it requires comprehensive assessment, care planning, and treatment."

People should be very worried about this. Some parts of the world are already unstable, imagine what happens when food supplies dramatically contract or areas are hit with multiple weather disasters. There is a lot of strain and turmoil over migrations as is (see Syria), imagine what that looks like when hundreds of millions of people are displaced.

What happens when millions of hungry and displaced people try to move across borders to countries that are their outright enemies? Or if an already oppressed ethnic group is hit with a water crisis? One doesn't need to look far into history to see that it could lead to mass murder
Acute and chronic pain are different. The point isn't to find the cure that blocks all pain at all times, or to do it completely unsupervised. But under doctor supervision a real cure for chronic pain (not a load of opioids) would be a life changer for so many people.
The content of your response is so divergent than what I have heard from people working at Google that I interact with, both personally and professionally, that I find it difficult to believe you actually spent a significant amount of time (if any) at Google.

1. I've never heard anyone say or imply that technology is universally good. I've heard people talk about how making information readily available and accessible to all is good (though people disagree on how universally to apply it).

2. As far as centralization, from the things I've heard it seems that centralization is considered bad. Everything needs to be distributed, standardized, and redundant. Yes, they seem to like to keep things organized, but apparently they'd rather do it in a heterogeneously distributed manner (like each user request creates many internal requests to different functions and then the result is stitched together).

3. "Don't be evil" seems to be interpreted in the "Don't do evil things" sense instead of "Don't be motivated by evil".

4. I would say a "data-driven system" makes the best decision is the closest I could find to your assumption, and I would tend to agree with them.

5. I've never heard of anything like that. I have heard people mention things that Google could do but doesn't since it is considered not good -- an example of this is that there seems to be high level opposition to using browser fingerprinting for getting around browser cookie blocking for advertising (despite already having developed state of the art techniques that are used in anti-abuse).

6. This might be the closest assumption you have, actually, since it depends on your definition of manipulation. If you ask me if fire is hot and I teach you that fire is dangerously hot (and maybe also provide some example sets of protective items and clothing you could use to work with fire to mitigate the danger), I have likely manipulated you into not getting burned later. So sorry that I'm so manipulative ;)

Ey thanks for sharing your experience. I appreciate your perspective as a father.

My experience is from the teachers training side: as part of the University of Buenos Aires, I taught programming classes to high school teachers.

I think that having a computer is much better than not having it. It makes no difference for kids with access to computers, but there are kids that doesn’t have that. For those kids it may do a difference.

My main complain of the “Plan Conectar Igualdad” is about the cost of incompetence. As you mention there is a lot of capable people that wants better education, but when resources are not very well aligned and plans like this are at the risk to die in each economic down turn, I wished a much better approach rather that giving the netbooks and wait for a miracle.

Did you even read the article? Mac Pros have been built here since 2013. The only reason they aren't moving production overseas is because the administration exempted them from some tariffs.

I am constantly baffled by people who support the Trump administration and simultaneously claim to want less government interference in the economy.
I'm surprised these are allowed in exams at all. Can someone who wrote such exams tell me what sort of questions were asked for which graphing was useful? Clearly there would be no point in asking many curve-sketching questions.

In teaching, I can see the utility of sometimes being able to ask the computer. But ideally not a cheap computer from the 90s. And of sometimes being forced to do without. But in exams, where standardization matters, why not restrict to basic 4-function calculators?
Um. Do you mean that they directly took the existing code and took his name out of it? That would be a pretty big no-no from a copyright perspective. (But it also wouldn't do anything, so I assume I'm misunderstanding)
You still keep going to this "witness" testimony as if it's a kill all. It isn't. Where Minsky was and with whom has far more weight than what someone said who - for the umpteenth time - WAS ALSO ON JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S ISLAND.

This "witness" also has zero bearing on anything Stallman wrote, as he was writing under the assumption that the accusation is true. Your continued use of it in defending Stallman denotes bad faith.

> ...RMS did not excuse the accusations of sex...

No, he only wrote a blog post saying that diddling kids should be legal. I can infer from that his thoughts on the Minsky situation.

> No, I'm only repeatedly restating what RMS said in different forms in a vain hope that one of these restatements "clicks" with you.

You're reiterating your interpretation as if it's valid. It is not, for all the aforementioned reasons.
I don't think that there is anything necessarily wrong with it. I was just pushing back on the idea that just because Javascript is distributed in source form, that it isn't effectively the same thing as a compiled binary to the end user.
> But, generically, "how do we minimize harm to all children" is not what is being asked here. What is being asked here is "how do we dissociate ourselves with this specific harmful action" which is a much, much lower bar to clear

Specifically that, in the context of this comment subtree. If we are requesting action from Chef because we believe ICE, a customer of Chef, is behaving unethically then we cannot play favorites and dismiss other Chef customers who also behave unethically; Coca-Cola being responsible of much more illness, death, and abuse of the poor than ICE despite just "producing a beverage".

Do we care about moral issues, or do we care about just this specific issue for a particular reason? Looking at the root comment from this chain (and from south of the border, mind you) it seems there are ulterior motives at play.
i think the original talk by Gary is basically perfect for this bc it shows the power of mixing FP and non-FP in an imperative but flexible language (ruby)

all that is to say, just watch the original talk:

So who wants to volunteer to have their living conditions drastically reduced?

The west likes to blame China and India, places we've outsourced manufacturing and work to and yet somehow they still produce far less CO2 per capita. We shame people into reducing their individual emissions while ignoring the fact that industry produces most of the emissions.

The fact is, no country is going to take drastic measures. We don't know exactly what's going to happen when the world warms 3 degrees (we have ideas, but the world has been both warmer and colder in the past, and somehow life survived). We do however know what would happen if we suddenly stunted economic progress tomorrow (nothing good).
Do you have some more to read about that? Sounds interesting but I'm now confused as to what FireBase is/does.
I fail to see what the point of trying to use VS Code for .NET development would be. I suppose if you like tying one hand behind your back and making things more difficult for yourself for some reason. Or maybe you like cobbling together a rickety pile of plugins.

If cost is a concern, there's Rider or even MonoDevelop.
I believe most of these are from Span which allows doing a lot of operations (e.g. substring) without allocating a new object.

I also did this, but never got around to storing test-related materials in my phone. It was mainly for preserving my goofing-off programs.
So yeah, I say "I'm not sure" because I don't know the personal motives of the individual outspoken people. It really depends on what they thought it was going to accomplish, and why they wanted those things to happen.

Quit calling them concentration camps. That's ridiculous and hyperbolic.

It walks like a duck and talks like a duck.

No one forced people to cross the border illegally,

It depends on how you look at it, really. There weren't any individuals forcing these particular people across the border, as such, but due to the terrible living conditions south of the border they were indirectly forced there. Some of those conditions are the direct result of US policies and actions in Central and South America.

whereas Jews were rounded up and starved to death.

People are starving to death in these camps.

By your logic, all prisons are "concentration camps".

Not all prisons are run in the way these camps are. I object to any prison run like these camps are too.

If you don't want them held until trial, what should we do instead?

Short term they should be held in humane conditions, trials should not take months and instead take weeks at most, families should not be separated. It's not rocket science. Take some of the money you're burning up every day and spend it here instead (and on other things that improve the lives of people).

Would we prefer a world where disk compression, document editors, and web browsers weren't available as free apps?

There seems to be a fine line between price-dumping that ends up hurting consumers once competitors are driven out of business, and aggressive competition that benefits consumers by driving down prices and increasing availability.
The issue is that only 15 states ban using/holding your phone while 48 ban texting for all drivers. [1] This means that unless you would need a very high resolution image with litle blur to determine that they were 'texting' (or you investigate after an accident). A lot of people still have to interact with the phone itself for maps & media so the US is very handicaped at enforcing these laws.

Opioids work wonders for chronic pain, the downside being obvious, but when used responsibly they are a lifesaver.

Lurk any chronic pain support group and you will find hundreds of people terrified of going back to the dark ages before opioids. Over-enforcement of the epidemic is real and doing damage to already damaged people.
Yes this will doom us if it is not taken care of but I expect the American people will get smart and elect congressional leaders that will care of the growing national debt before we default.

Is there (non TI funded) research showing that graphing calculators are actually helpful in high school level math education? I'm somewhat sceptical.

I had a ti-85 in high school, but in university graphing calculators were verboten (basic scientific calculators were allowed). And I don't think they would have been useful, even if they would have been allowed.

My university experience sort of mirrors my "real world" experience as well. If I need something non-trivial, I have access to a computer with python/R/Julia/Matlab/octave/mathematica/take-your-pick that blows those graphing calculators out of the water. If not, a plain scientific calculator is good enough. I've literally never thought "if I only had my trusty ti-85".
Sorry for a basic question, can this be used to make desktop apps across platforms?
I've been a math and science teacher for the last 25 years. I have always told students they could use whatever device worked for them, and I have alway been very clear that the only reason TI calculators are so prevalent is because the test-taking companies require them.

The only time I have encouraged their use is for students who are going to take a test that requires them, and even then they should only use them enough to know how they work. There are much better tools for learning and exploring many areas of mathematics.

For students who don't have a specific device they wanted to use, I steered most of them over the past few years to https://www.desmos.com/calculator.
At a port of entry only. At which point, you can't be released into the country while you wait, because 90% don't actually show up for hearings.
I had a Casio graphing calculator in the 90s and while it was ridiculed and I was made fun of sometimes by other students, it did the job just fine. If the school requires a certain brand, they should pay for it themselves or stop being such entitled assholes. Many students and their parents don't have $100 to throw away unnecessary. Especially now that there is undoubtedly free software to do the same thing and much more. I inherited the calculator from my big sister and my parents were barely able to afford it. Schools need to take into account the feasibility of their requirements when making such ludicrous demands. Or pay for it themselves. Period. Playing into this stupid monopoly was ridiculous in the 90s. It's frankly just a lesson in the stupidity of administrators and teachers today.

I, too, love a blackboard. A door in my house is covered with a cheap chalkboard-like material, not real slate, so it curves and pops with changing season and humidity. I have 10 sticks of Hagoromo chalks and a couple of those fiddly chalk holders. To me one of the most comforting sounds in the world is the musical staccato of chalk on blackboard. Problems are being solved, or at least, the evidence of an attempt. I love when it's full of scribbles, then a wet towel makes the black pristine again. I want to replace the whiteboard I have with a real slate board, but I don't think they make them anymore.

CSS Grid still blows my mind. A syntax that actually makes sense for a visual styling language in CSS?

People like to make fun of Javascript but CSS doesn't get enough heat. It was absolutely awful and still is in many ways.

Even Flexbox is a convoluted mess with a strange naming scheme.

CSS Grids just makes so much more sense intuitively for what it's trying to do.
