Because often the instructor or professor may ad lib based on a question from a student. It may result in a really good answer that probably won't be in the official lecture notes. Instructors with decades of experience have anecdotes that may not be suitable for lecture notes but may give express an idea better using analogy that is spur of the moment.

I went back to college late in life and now with cellphones and cloud storage people often recorded lectures with permission. One person used OBS most others used their mobile phone's note recorder app. Many used Microsoft OneNote (free Office 365 with tuition) to record and photos of whiteboard notes and diagrams. OneNote can OCR the text and even adjust skew of the image.

I still wrote my own notes though at first hand written because I wrote in cursive which is far faster than block printing. But I was persuaded by the masses typed my notes into a document on my laptop. I regret that now because I noticed a significant difference in retention between hand-written versus typed. When I wrote by hand I recalled much more of the material.

And take this with a grain of salt because I'm friggin' old.

IRC is still a very useful tool for tech support, since you can potentially reach someone who will actively respond, rather than posting a message on a forum or a mailing list and waiting endlessly for a response. It was a bit of a bummer when some channels started disabling unregistered users due to spam. It used to be a great "emergency support" option that someone with a failing computer could load up a LiveUSB of some Linux distro, open Hexchat, and immediately pop into a chatroom for help.
About 1/3 of the way up from the bottom and slightly to the right, you'll see a small dark trail and a black dot in the top right of a crater. That seems to be the largest noticeable piece. That spot is about 2x4 pixels in size, which is about 1 1/2 by 3 meters compared to the scale in the picture. That's roughly the size of the craft so it's most likely the main portion of it.

The one of these that I've come to adore the most is the ranger file manager. I almost never use any GUI file managers (or command line tools, for that matter) for file management after starting to use ranger seriously. It's so fast and works exactly the way I want it to. I've also hooked my terminal up such that I'm cd'ed into whatever folder I last navigated to in ranger (I use the alias `rd` for this), so I virtually never type `cd` in the terminal anymore. Super slick!

In my opinion, groupthink on social media is to be understood as a Keynesian beauty contest. [0]

Suppose you‘d want to determine who among a group of entrants in a beauty is the most beautiful according to standards shared by the group. Such determinations are hard to make, as every judge would usually vote according to their private norms of beauty, not the groups. One way to overcome this, would be to give a price to the two judges who are closest to the final result. In this setup, you‘d be incentivized to vote according to the norms you believe to be the overall group norm, not your individual norm. The result would be „the groups belief about what the group sees as beautiful“.

Social media such reddit and Facebook incorporates this concepts on two levels:

- At the user level, users aiming to gather likes/karma/... are incentivized to submit content they believe the group finds most useful. Of course this is why we instate voting systems in the first place, so that great content (according to the communities standard for such) is submitted. On the other hand, this incentive scheme drives unpopular opinions to the margins. Hence, fringe content is more likely to be found on sites without a like system such as image boards. There, a different incentive exists: survival of your post directly depends on engagement, so it‘s more likely to stay afloat if it’s provocative.

- Then, at the platform level, sites faced with the decision of what to show their users, also face a beauty contest: they select what is most likely to be liked. The perverse result is an eternal perpetuation of groupthink, as contributors facing a „likability selection“ are unfree in what they submit. If it’s deemed not controversial enough/not likable enough, they will wither away. So they keep perpetuating the ever same content and jokes.

Well, I was using Openreach which is the largest consumer ISP in the UK. Specifically my latencies were better to the US when using PIA. So PIA had more favourable routing / commercial agreements than the largest UK ISP. So I'd say the VPN infrastructure is pretty good, even if it's simply relying on AWS or something.

In most cases its simply left outside. In some instances it will be taken to a local office for pickup, but that is not as common and often must be prespecified. I've never heard of packages being left with neighbors. I have to imagine people either don't trust their neighbors enough or view it as too much of a burden or something.
> It's interesting how it expects librarians to be arbiters of morals and ethics

The author isn't trying to shovel that onto librarians. The author simply understands and is acknowledging that that is an inherent, inescapable part of the librarian's job. This would come as no surprise to the manual's intended audience, the people who brought you Banned Book Week. They know their business.

And, yes, discarding books with outdated ideas is a smart, practical move. These are often books that people are going to be less interested in checking out, because people would rather check out books that reflect contemporary ideas. For example, I'm not at all interested in checking out an etiquette book that reflects mid 20th century ideas about gender roles. I would be much happier to take advice from an etiquette book that isn't actively offensive to me, and I'm not alone in that, so it makes sense for the librarian to get rid of the old etiquette book in order to make room for one that people would actually check out.

There is obviously also some value in keeping old books that people don't want to read anymore. Where you strike the balance there is going to have a lot to do with the library's purpose. Research libraries and public lending libraries have different goals and responsibilities.

Making better use the huge amount of time we stick kids in school would probably require a whole lot more money (mostly for more and better teachers) and, to bring the costs anywhere near the realm of feasibility and achieve maximum benefit, "tracking" (grouping by ability) for at least much of the day, if not all of it. I don't think either of those are likely to happen.

Although I don't actively lurk on IRC, I do use it from time to time, especially for support for programming or open source projects, as Freenode seems to be the place to go these days.

I grew up using it and found it a great tool for people to connect and even contribute to projects or just programming in general. I feel even to this day, the ambiance created by IRC "back in the day" with all its contrived features such as server linking and splits, channel ops, bots, and opers still haven't been captured by any of the social media giants even today.

The best things I found about IRC were, TCL scripts, Eggrop bots, and all of the Ascii art that people would use.

Both the article and the comments here are cringeworthy. I come to HN for the insightful comments, but for some reason, whenever finance is discussed, people do not look at data and start arguing about their feelings. This is a complex topic that requires careful analysis, unfortunately, the Washington Post has not spent the time to do this either.

I specifically want to point to this passage from the article:

"Last month, in its twice-yearly financial stability report, the Fed warned about the potential consequences of the market’s failure to police the rapid increase in risky corporate debt.

During the 2009 crisis, “BBB-rated” companies — the lowest rung of investment-grade — faced borrowing costs almost 7 percentage points higher than higher-quality companies. Today, the difference, or “spread,” is just 1.4 percentage points."

The way this is being framed is very dishonest reporting, 1.4% is close to normal, 7% is the highest it has ever been. A balanced discussion on the matter wouldn't get the same amount of clicks as fear mongering though.

If you think the financial system is evil or incompetent, please suggest a better way of doing things or go into the specifics about what is wrong. As an example, saying "React is evil and everyone who uses it is stupid" is instantly recognized around here as a nonconstructive comment. Rephrasing it as "I like Vue better for reason a, b and c" is much better. Yet when things are finance related, this standard is not upheld.

The law also says there can be no gender wage gap.

I've worked at several big tech companies and they all abused H1B's. The immigrant workers were paid a lot less than citizens. It pissed me off because the immigrant workers were treated like crap and also I would imagine it puts downward pressure on my own salary.

I worked at a company that gave referral bonuses to employees for new hires. It went like this: $2,000 for a white. $3,000 for a black or Asian. $5,000 for an Indian. HMMM.

There's little incentive for an individual to report anything. You've seen how "whistleblowers" get treated. Up against a big company with a legal department, chances are good that they know how to put up chaff, redirect, deny and obfuscate their abusive practices. Why stick your neck out when it's a systemic problem?

It's worth noting that the former ICANN CEO, Fadi Chehadé is highly involved in this sale. This timeline also seems to suggest that current members of ICANN are also biased towards the sale of the .org domain, ICANN may not be interested in the views of the people who currently have .org domains.

From https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2019/11/isoc-pir-.... :

"March 2019:

ICANN receives 3,300 comments uniformly opposed to the change and 6 in favor of removing price caps, and sides with the 0.2% minority.

May 2019:

PIR responded to the comments with an open letter that said,

“We are a mission-based non-profit, and would never betray the trust that you have put into .ORG and us.”

On 7 May, Chehadé registered the domain for EthosCapital.com.

On 13 May, ICANN decided to lift the price caps anyway.

On 14 May, Ethos Capital was incorporated as a new investment firm founded by Brooks. Ethos Capital has two staff: Brooks and Nora Abusitta-Ouri, a former ICANN SVP who later worked for Chehadé and was also a classmate of Chehadé."

How to Slowrun Your Favorite Speedrun Games – 3 Rules
In the graphical browser category, I have tried Qutebrowser and it is neat. However, Firefox remains as my primary web browser. I use the Vimium plugin with Firefox. It provides Vim-like key bindings for many commonly used browsing tasks.

My most favourite commands in Vimum are 'f' and 'F'. The 'f' or 'F' command creates key combinations for all the links found in the page. It highlights the key combinations in little yellow boxes above every link. We can then type the lowercase key combination for a link to open that link. While 'f' opens the link in the current tab, 'F' opens it in a new tab. Alternatively, we can type uppercase key combinations to reverse the behaviour of 'f' and 'F', i.e., 'f' with upper case key combination opens the link in a new tab and 'F' with upper case key combination opens it in the current tab.

My other favourite commands, in no particular order, are: 'J' (go one tab left), 'K' (go one tab right), 'H' (go back in history), 'L' (go forward in history), 't' (create new tab), 'T' (search through open tabs), 'x' (close tab), and 'r' (reload page).

Also, there are the 'h', 'j', 'k', and 'l' commands to scroll left, down, up, and right, respectively.

It's easy to be cynical but I believe some corporate cultures are far healthier than others. I believe lots of companies try to avoid the HiPPO effect (deferring to highest paid person's opinion) with varying success.

I worked for a few years at Shell though and now I'm wary of ever working for a large corporation again. The sweet spot I've found is mid-sized companies, where they're small enough where they can't just absorb the costs of useless software projects, but big enough where there isn't the mad scramble to ship. (I've never worked for a startup, though, so apologies if that's an unfair characterization.)
