School should be about discovery of things that may be interesting to study, not about passing tests and turning homework in on time.

Personally, I think we should:

- abolish most tests (especially standardized tests) until high school
- encourage more electives
- run classes like a democracy, not a dictatorship (students choose what to focus on next)
- separate introverts from extroverts instead of forcing introverts to learn like extroverts
- grade based on engagement, whatever that means for the student
- pay teachers based on the number of students they can handle, and let students select their teachers

And to top it off, we should be encouraging and facilitating trades in high school so students that would prefer to go that route anyway can skip college.

We should also try to eliminate the private sector's obsession with degrees and instead find better ways for people to showcase their qualifications.

These are all fairly radical changes, though I think we need to fundamentally change how we think about schooling to improve it. At the very least, we should be encouraging experimentation by making it easier to run a charter school.
Actually it is more a consequence of Web browsers blacklisting your GPUs, even when they should be ok.

This is why WebGL hasn't really taken off for gaming.

You can have the perfect game running on 60 FPS on your system, then random dude tries to play the game, and browser decides it is blacklisted, goes back into software rendering and everything is choppy.

Meanwhile he/she doesn't have any issue playing native games and wonders why the browser game doesn't cut it.
I think you mean WinFS. Longhorn is a whole release codename, which encompassed many new features.

Given that a beta WinFS eventually was made available as a separate download years after even it's beta was slated to be released[1], I suspect they did what I outlined above - eventually. Otherwise, I'm not sure why a bolt on component to the system would require so long and miss deadlines like it did.

This is especially bad for teenagers as they are wired to sleep at later times in puberty (called "phase delay"). How the are you supposed to learn while being sleep deprived for basically most of your classes?
haha thanks. Didn't even think about this for some reason, yet it's so simple.
Haha, that I recognize. Especially if I am a bit hung-over because I could not resist taking an advance on the weekend by hitting the pub on a Thursday night. May today be a productive day!
Bhuta means multiple things in sanskrit, it can mean deities, spirits, what is conscious, or comes into existence. In pali's context it is correct since bhuta in pali means something that has an animated in nature, which i believe is a better translation since pali was the dominant language during the reign of Asoka & Ajatshatru. On a different note, pali and sanskrit, though have almost the same vocabulary and inferences, may have different meanings for similar contexts.
>Get the price to $100, or at least sub $200, and I'll consider it interesting.

I thought about the same, and ended up reading a few articles on it. Then I went to the website [1] and found the price - $389!!!! No chance, despite me being target market (48, original Atari 2600 owner (still have it in my loft), still moaning about how great the games were in the old days to the kids as I get them off my lawn, etc).

Abusing that is technically illegal, although due to how favoured rights owners are (even presumptive ones), I've never heard of anyone getting even a slap on the wrist for it.

GDPR, though, is made to be used for this. It's companies' responsibility to set up processes so they can give you this information easily; if they haven't, you're doing a public service by encouraging it. And it's perfectly reasonsble to ask for an audit of how they treat your personal info, when they just very publicly cozied up to an oppressive police state.
Benzos are extremely helpful for providing relief from anxiety and stopping panic attacks, and everyone should have some and know how to use them responsibly. The level of utility of being able to turn off anxiety and fear is incredible. I take xanax before I go to the dentist, because it's just not happening any other way, and it absolutely squashes the flight response and lets me act like a normal human. It shouldn't be understated what a miracle this is, and that it can be done safely with almost no risk.

But they're also the most addictive substances we've got. After a week or so, you now have an addiction that needs tapering to not be dangerous. If you lose access to the drugs, you might die from withdrawal.

The withdrawal can make you feel literally insane. I don't know how to explain it other than it's extremely unpleasant and everything feels moody and irrational, and sometimes you don't even realize the extent to which you're being irrational until you take more drugs and feel "normal" again.

The potential for addiction is also high because these drugs feel the best out of all drugs. You're going to want to use it again. Imagine if alcohol never made you sick or dizzy, and you could have as much of it as you wanted, and you'd just keep feeling more relaxed until you pass out. Then you wake up feeling relaxed and don't have a hangover. That's what benzos feel like.

Also many doctors don't realize just how possible it is to have a seizure during withdrawal, and some doctors will refuse patients asking for benzos because they see them as drug-seekers.

Any time I see one of these threads about benzos, I try to share my experience, because they're just so misunderstood by the general public. And it's probably not great that there's so much talk about xanax in hiphop right now.
ACPI also works this way, no?
Are humans capable of detecting and understanding what that amplification means? Even though our pattern-matching is a wonderful skill, it doesn't always serve us well. We exaggerate local effects. We are known to be terrible at understanding risk. And I've even heard that nine out of ten dentists are bad at statistics.

I'm not saying we shouldn't ask the question. I'm saying we need a way to answer it that factors out human perceptual error.
Chargers - no. Cables can be a problem tho.

Also some devices don't support anything else but USB-A to C cable that comes in a box. That's why I returned JBL Charge 4 and got Anker Soundcore Motion+. Much crispier stereo sound at expense of some base.

> Areas Where You Should Still Use MATLAB®

says like "python doesn't have ... Graphical capabilities". Well there is Ipython and Jupyter. Check them out. They provide interactive worksheets such as MATLAB. This codes got pretty mature in the last year's. Bonus point: They are web based and thus network transparent. This is why there are sites such as the "Microsoft Azure Notebook" cloud. Furthermore, jupyterhub gives you a similar IDE GUI as MATLAB does.

An actual reason why MATLAB may still be relevant is the amount of legacy code and it's library ecosystem. Since I never actively used MATLAB, I cannot say anything there.
A tool under development I've been recently curious about is https://roamresearch.com which seems to be focused less on GTD or bookwriting, but more around the aspect of knowledge capture for intellectual work. https://youtu.be/L6GIW4PprQE?t=24 shows a recent state of development - mentioning zettlekasting and also Tiago Forte's P.A.R.A.

The intriguing part of the system seems to be more in the fluid process of hyperlinking to a topic of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD_Gi8EQGVQ also shows a mind-mapping mode.
What's to stop safari from blocking it since every browser on iPhone is basically a safari skin and actual alternative browser engines are banned
I've been at Adobe at a time when they shipped Creative Suite, as boxes (even though downloads started to be more prevalent, it was still very much pre-packaged software). People don't give Adobe enough credit for what it was achieving back then - every 18 months, like clockwork, it shipped an entire suite of huge applications, that needed to work well with one another. And they couldn't rely on post-release fixes - because US accounting regulations made it impossible to ship fixes after the GM builds, if I remember correctly.
And they did it. Reliably so - at least until CS6 (with the subscription, things changed, you can now ship fixes anytime). What's more impressive than the fact that they did it, is that from the engineering perspective, it was an "of course we'll do it" - there wasn't at any point any doubt that CSnext will be released, and will be released on time. And it had to be awesome - the entire company depended on it.

Thing is, there was nothing really special that Adobe did and I haven't witnessed elsewhere. Extensive testing, pre-releases/ getting the most loyal users involved early. Waterfall, yes - but "waterfall done right" (I don't think the overhead was too onerous). What they probably did "specially" though, even though it sounds mundane and boring... was to relentlessly cut scope. It was no shame to do less than what you initially planed for - but it was a crime to not say ASAP that you may not be able to do what you promised. I know personally of a feature that didn't ship in CS5, at all, because it was deemed "not ready" (even though at the start it was deemed as "required"); almost brought down a development center (that was supposed to ship it), and their biggest sin was not that they weren't ready, but that they didn't say so until it was too late.

The short version of all this, I guess, is that cutting scope can do miracles. I'm surprised that it's not used more widely - and somewhat saddened that even Adobe lost its skill at this (from my pov, the cloud has enticed the management to ship features that are not quite ready yet, and counter-intuitively, I think this actually slows them down now).

Honestly - Apple could have doubled their prices and gained 90% of the US market if he stood up to China and told the CCP to stuff it. They would have had amazing PR for decades.
What does this do to the compile time?
Which, it should be noted, is impossible due to Intel's hardware-enforced signature checks.

Even if a key were to be stolen from Intel it would then be illegal to use in all Western nations. The ME is off limits to everyone other than Intel and its partners, enforced by both the hardware signatures and some of the most heavily enforced (in terms of consequences) legislation on the face of the planet.

Of course that won't stop malware authors, who couldn't care less about replacing the ME firmware to make it secure, but do care very much about the fact that they can hack into the stock, signed Intel ME firmware, then install their malware in a nearly impossible to detect position.

Agreed. I have always chased my tail when it comes to distros, and when it finally came around to checking out kde (¡again) the plasma version was really an awesome surprise. It still has a few warts, but it's the prettiest/cohesive of them all.
This is completely untrue.

Most Americans don't care about Apple's relationship with China, and they're probably only losing a fraction of a percent of customers. If Apple doubled their prices, they would lose the majority of their customers.

The government made it clear that PG&E will be harshly punished for operating in high fire danger conditions, and so PG&E is not operating in high fire danger conditions. This outcome is exactly how government oversight is supposed to work.
My problem too. I actually can't fall asleep because my brain keeps throwing out random ideas at me, like a toddler tugging at my sleeve: "is this solution good enough? no? How about this? No? What about this? No? This?" and so on and so on throughout the night.
I said it on another thread: that is most likely a copy paste from a mail sent by the CCP. I am sure the iPhones have been used many more times AS PHONES to convey the location of officers and demonstrators. But that is harmless?

I don't disagree, this is a great example. I think d&d can work in special cases where the distance for the item to travel is not too small (so that you wouldn't move things by accident), but it is also not uncomfortably far away so that you don't see the target and have to navigate to it while you're d&d-ing. I guess these limiting factors are what makes it tricky to get right.

But what about selecting a card and being able to move it around with the keyboard?
Sure, you could frame it that way: Tesla is paying for “increased” reliability, and everyone else just gets their power shut off at a whim.

To me, there feels like a big difference between a reliability SLA and an exemption from what is supposedly a vital emergency shutdown.
Sony's pretty popular BT headphones, WH1000XM3, switched to USB-C about a year ago. I've noticed a bunch of external hard drives have, too. I picked up a micro-b to USB-C cable so I wouldn't need an adapter. Nintendo Switch was released in early 2017. It's difficult to even find chargers with more than 1 USB-C port.

Apple has been shipping laptops with only USB-C since 2015. Many people rely heavily on dongles and breakout boxes. A USB-C hub would be welcome even at a steep premium.

My guess is that all of the tech that tunnels through USB-C would be really difficult to hub or to share. Which is why the closest thing I've seen to a hub is a passthrough plus a USB-C for power.

This is a fair point. Laws are different, so procedures can be different. Not to mention the city’s situation is critical - protests - violence from both side.

Memes on the internet are already self-replicating in a way that mirrors evolution fairly well. Who's to say there aren't other mind parasites that can jump from host to host and evolve to be even more infectious? In Germany there is a current problem of Copy-Paste texts being shared on whatsapp that behaves almost like a virus. One host can infect dozens of others.
In this experimental release with prebuilt binaries it’s about 5Mb per architecture. This includes all operators for inference (that is forward only). We’re working on selective compilation so that you can build a smaller bundle with only a subset of ops that you use. With that for common CNNs it should get to 1-2 Mb range or even smaller.
> Getting and keeping a Linux Desktop in good working order is harder than it should be at this age of Linux.

I use desktop Linux as my daily driver (personal and work), and generally have very few problems. I hear so much grief from friends and colleagues who are running macOS and have so many issues. I really don't want to be "that guy" who obnoxiously pushes desktop Linux, understating its usability issues for average users, so I decided to log some of the issues I had over time.

I realized that the failures on Linux, while fewer, were usually much worse: the things that fail on macOS are either annoyances that can be ignored or worked around, or things that can be Googled and fixed (for the most part). There were certainly sometimes failures on Linux that followed that pattern, but there's another class of failures: when things failed, they failed hard. Once, I rebooted after some kernel and Xorg package updates, and Xorg just hung on startup, logged nothing useful, and only responded to SIGKILL. I did manage to fix it, but the average user would be completely lost, and, to make matters worse, would have no GUI to use to search for help on the web. They'd probably end up having to reinstall and hope for the best. That's not acceptable; that might have been a common recovery step with Windows back in the 90s, but people expect better now.

The distinction is that macOS failures are overwhelmingly solely of the type that frustrate and reduce productivity. It's very rare to run into something that grinds you to a complete halt. While desktop Linux has come a long way, and I'd (unscientifically) say there can be fewer frustrations than on macOS, there are still enough hard-stop, my-computer-is-a-brick-now failure modes to make it unsuitable for most users.

Not OP, but I'm guessing they mean something like 'make sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing'. Making sure the effort to produce something is done collaboratively by all teams instead of each team working in isolation without coordinating with others, with the risk of duplicated effort or one team tripping up others.
China is within its rights to demand Blizzard censor content. US user/viewers are within their rights to criticize and boycott them. Blizzard is within its right to change their policy or ignore the criticism.
At this point I would think the Chinese government would take such an action as "defiance". If Apple is worried Chine might close its supply chains, opening up side loading would really piss them off.

Plus it's just not in the DNA of Apple to do side loading. Goes against the grain of everything.

I had the realization yesterday while waiting for a train that the Notes app on iOS contains all the functionality I'd need in order to be able to build a small organization/business .. as long as I standardized my form of note-taking and rigorously applied policies on how Notes are transformed from one Folder to the other - and on what conditions I send the Notes to others using Airdrop.

In other words, all I really need a computer for, is formatting and forwarding rules. ;)

Anyway it was an interesting experiment to come up with some standard Notes that would be productive for a small office - and I realized, part way through this hacking on the rails, thats how people used to do it: plain old ink and paper, and a standard system for routing things around.

I started to wonder what happened? I guess HR departments got tired of having to train workers, and came to rely on computerization as a way of 'training in the chair' - or, outright, replacing peoples ability to apply standard techniques to their workday.

Even today in a computer-savvy environment, people still seem to resist the idea of having standard ways of doing things. Everyone has this idea that they are unique and special individuals who have more to contribute to the world than they end up taking - but give them pen and paper and tell them thats the only way to do things from now on, and all the hubris falls apart and the excuses come out.

It has been true for 40 years, and I think it'll long be true for another century at least: if you can't do it on paper first, you're not ready to computerize the problem.

There are very affordable (relative to the cost of a new laptop) online businesses specializing in this exact problem. But a skilled hobbyist (possibly with some advise from Youtube) or decent phone repair shop can do it too.

It's actually not that hard (put kapton tape around, remove old using hotair and tweezers, clean with flux and wick, solder new with iron or hotair, a compatible solder or paste, and lots of flux. Clean with spray/brush). Assuming you can source a replacement part, but between Digi-Key/Mouser, eBay and AliExpress that's rarely impossible.
