I question what "rationally evaluating the risk of getting caught" means for an individual.

If I'm an insurance company, or other entity dealing with large numbers of "getting caught", then indeed, I can rationally determine that it will happen x% of the time and plan accordingly.

But if I'm an individual, and I don't have a way of significantly changing the risk, then all I can do is make a binary decision - do the risky thing, or don't. If the risk is small, then I'm probably going to do it. How is a person "rationally" supposed to react to, say, a risk going from 0.1% to 1%, when the choice is only do or do not do?
You are beginning to see what I mean. But here's the part you didn't get. If you are going to be a programmer, you should think like an engineer. You need to understand your machine and your code and the effects of it all.

I believe your hypothetical audience doesn't exist. Give them some credit. There's simply no reason a competent software engineer cannot understand Goldberg.
Touch typing has a staggeringly high RoI for pretty much all white-collar workers.
Thanks for sharing that, mate. Causing someone to involuntarily laugh in public is one of my favorite things.
https://programbydesign.org/ seems like a good place to start looking.
I'm all for opt-out for a very simple reason.... doctors don't have to bother families in the midst of grief.

If you don't believe the state should be the defacto owner of your organs (I'd argue it's the recipient that ultimately ends up owning them, but whatever), then you can opt out.
I read that as RStudio is too heavyweight, so lighter tools would be preferred. J is a lot lighter in some ways and is an excellent calculator. You probably read it correctly though.
I've got an LG OLED and have had regular LG 'smart' sets before that. I turned off the LG IP channels and other similar settings. The only installed apps are for Amazon Prime, YoutubeTV and their web browser. I have it on its own wifi ap.

I get very few notifications. Obviously, when app or firmware updates are available. I also get a small and brief notification when they add a new ip channel to their lineup. I get no ads or anything like that.

I've not run a sniffer to see what it phones home with beyond info for version checks.
Call it a long vacation.
I remember when I started college, a third of the class didn't even know touch typing, or even knew what the internet really was. The internet was some mythical creature to them. This was 2005.

My first grade daughter knows how to draw well but can't use a mouse. I'm encouraging her by giving some games. But it's not a natural thing these days.
I am not sure volume is going to be low. Won't every car rental have to do this check? Now every time anyone uses a ZipCar or rents a car, it costs an extra $1.75.
I had a long term, off and on again, thoroughly toxic relationship. Many years.

I ended it this year, am totally out, and have never felt happier, lighter, and more confident about my life.

Age. Without question, age has improved my problem solving abilities. I no longer expect to come up with an instant solution; instead I get to know the problem as best I can, then go and do something else. My subconscious will eventually deliver the optimal solution.

Interestingly, "eventually" usually means in the shower the next morning. From that I assume that I'm more receptive to flashes of inspiration while I'm relatively relaxed in the shower, and also that the real work of finding a solution happens while I'm asleep.
As far as I can tell, burnout is caused by a combination of lack of appreciation and lack of clear expectations. You have a ton of work, you can even take criticism but only if you get appreciation for the positive contributions and the feedback is not a surprise. Immature managers burn out contributors by constantly fretting about what hasn't gotten done or where the product has fallen short even when direction was followed. Try to redirect your conflict from being one-on-one to talking about the direction of the product and how you can all work towards improving it.
> Anyone been through anything similar? Anyone have any advice?

Yes.

It is natural to be sucked into the moment.

I'm at the age where all organizations are flaming PITAs; the more interesting question is: "Are the people around me making the overall PITA tolerable?"

If you can't enjoy the colleagues, then no amount of raw technical joy from accomplishing the task or fat piles of compen$ation will make the PITA worthwhile.
how to store info, how to document info, how to use info.

basic datatypes in common languages and databases, document webs structures (the web, wikis, helpdesk knowledgebases, hypercard), basic macros in common desktop tools.
So please point to all the security holes created by Lamport or Knuth.

I didn't say, by the way, credentialed engineer. I said "think like an engineer". I'd even accept Hacker.

Those who are just "programmers" are essentially data-entry clerks. And EVEN THEY can read Goldberg before doing floating point for at least they can get a hint of the difficulties.

"Java Programmers" writing blogs and websites for "Ruby Programmers" to give hints to "C# programmers" so they don't have to cut-paste from Stack Overflow is harmful. It's noise and addition random bad information that a good programmer, who should be engineering a solution, will have to cull out.
Sorry, I guess there’s a lot of stuff in that I’m thankful for :)
If you have electric heating anyway, it makes no difference. You’re right that a heat pump would be better, but for many people it isn’t an option.
Pretty sure my 1970’s Sansui isn’t phoning home!
Naming could be better or more differentiated -- "Flow" is already used in the closely related space of front-end development and javascript (flow typing).
Hey Michael, first off I love f.lux and use it every day. I have a question relating to your comment: is there any reason not to have an extremely high lumen smart light fixture which progressively dims throughout the day and syncs with the solar cycle in the user’s area? That seems like the holy grail, and is simply a combination of Philip’s Hue/LIFX tech and the bulb in the OP.
Thank you for mentioning jupytext. I had read about it but had forgotten the name. https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext
How to file taxes, if you're in the USA. How to calculate interest, balance your books, and set budgets based on your income. You can teach spreadsheets, double entry accounting software, and fun/useful math functions.

More generally, high school students should learn how to model information in a spreadsheet. It can be anything they are interested in: prices on collector's items, tracking their friendships and contacts, graphing their caloric intake per day, tracking the tweets and mentions of your favorite celebrities....
Something similar (viral heart damage) happened to my wife this year and I just can't imagine how terrifying that must have been to happen to your child. It's bad enough for an adult.

Thankful that we both got a second chance this year!
You are wrong.

You should stop posting.

This sounds fascinating. Do you have a source?

Btw, I love f.lux and have been using it since probably like 2010, possibly earlier. Its basically the first thing I install on any computer.
When you say "priest", do you mean Catholic priest? It makes a bit of a difference since their are various church decisions on the subject.
Yes, I understand that the "financial naiveness" so to speak of RenTec is overplayed in the media, but my point is that superior domain knowledge wasn't what enables Medallion to win. And to be fair, most of the early years were before systematized quant trading.
Im thankful for the world I was born into. A relatively non violent world while the internet is establishing. Im standing on the shoulders of great people that brought electricity, computers, math, writing, language, art, and all of the discoveries that made what i do possible. The fact that the universe randomly produced cells that combined and turned into humans. Im a stupid pretty useless creature, but with humanity I'm able to apply my mind, be happy, and evolve with others. It's truly awe inspiring.

Top App Developers in China – 2019 Reviews
One thing that complicates projects like Rosetta Code, and RosettaGit by extension, is that things get easily muddled when taking into account the many ways a single language and platform can do the same thing. Rosetta Code suffers from it a lot, which is why I'm mentioning it here. Given the purpose of Rosetta* I'm surprised that there hasn't been a visible effort in containing and organizing these different methods in the same way some of the code examples show recursive vs iterative methods, etc.

By way of example (which you may like to add to the project, since you do have a section for it already), here are 6 Hello World samples I created in ARM assembler on Raspberry Pi.

https://github.com/ksaj/helloworld

I purposely kept them all as similar as possible, but each one uses a completely different method for printing Hello World. Basically, writes() vs puts() vs fwrite() vs putchar() vs printf() vs bare metal (no use of standard library or otherwise). It's pretty easy to see the pros and cons of each method, and the different requirements of each method, by reading the code. Of course C programmers have heard of each of these methods, but these samples show what's actually happening under the hood.
Fixed point of x^(...), I guess; you don't actually need to define it properly:

x^x^x^... = y
x^(x^x^x^...) = x^(y)
x = y^(1/y) # there you go
It's likely nobody there fully understands what you did. I'm not just talking about your solution, but the size of your role in solving it. Anyone whose job title includes something you did yourself (design, R&D, PM, management) has a mental block against admitting your value out loud.

If you're not being given power to to lead and money to compensate you for saving the company, try to get it. Don't waste energy working within a bad system.

If you can't get what you need to stay, then go; if you're paid under market, you can trade up easily. If you see the people who have taken over your work mismanaging it, your equity won't be worth anything; it's a sunk cost, ditch.

Only caveat -- wherever you go you'll take a step down in authority. Right now you have a direct line to the top and are the domain expert in the company's whole business. That won't be true somewhere else.
I think we're talking past each other, because my Financial Literacy 101 education had basically nothing to do with "financial arithmetic".

It was all concepts and foundational equations like compound interest.

If you're using the fact that this would involve "spreadsheets" as a way to link it it ICT education which is what this thread is about then I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
You don't get non-smart/dumb TVs that easily anymore.
Couldn't agree more to this. Even having a small tea break or watching a youtube video for distraction helps a lot. I think its something about perspectives, we cannot focus fully on a given task and also look at it from a wider perspective or different angles at the same time, so taking a break and coming back gets focus on these angles which were earlier ignored. Kind of like "boxed thinking" which self help articles always talk about.
I can't imagine the uncertainty and the pain you would have gone through but this news is truly something that gives everyone goosebumps :).
Good luck for everything ahead, mate!
I think the seasonality data may be mixed, with more diagnoses in the fall and spring in human subjects studies.

This particular claim was a hypothesis from Richard Stevens, with some experimental work that shows rapid cancer growth under constant light (in human tumors implanted in mice) by Blask (2002, 2005): http://www.nel.edu/userfiles/articlesnew/NEL230802A03.pdf

The main mechanism in the Blask work is thought to be suppression of melatonin.
Advise against school loans. That should go toward your first home.

Enshrine attachment and family systems as basic learning, just like speech class. Give a lay of the land in that love matters to people and family structure / relational decisions have generational implications.

Teach how it's dysfunctional to spurn and shame the concept of love and break the cycle we have in schadenfreude when courtship fails.

I wonder how not discussing this in our curriculum (some how) is already detrimental to our generation (millenium, gen z?). People spend decades of their life locked up in offices afraid to form the most valuable and meaningful connection.

In their offices, they often even mime relationships. It's amazing how we pride ourselves in intellect on the one hand, yet silently observe these obvious and eerie pseudo-relations play out, against the grain of their true intentions.

If deep down, you're secretly yearning for love, even if you pretend to be this stoic, that's not happiness. That's going against the intuition you feel but dare not say. I worry very deeply that it may lead to despair in later stages of life when there is less options, cascading internalized conflicts from the loneliness of those decades of bottled up feelings, and I want to make sure people don't suffer because of it while they could have done something about it.

How many of us (men and women) have given up on finding a partner to resolve solely to being in a career, where we have a perception of control. Well, is that someone caring for you? Is that feeling the maternal / paternal bond that you long to have?

Career by itself isn't enough to meet our needs. I wish we did something to emphasize finding a partner and valuing sincerity and dignifying the courtship process and relationship life cycle.
Same here! I thought nobody was understanding this.

And frustratingly difficult to teach adult software developers. Speaking from experience trying to teach the devs what they are doing is NOT good practice.

Salary.com is not a source any more than wikipedia. I don't think that is just pedantry; I'm not saying they're wrong or you're misrepresenting anything, but you're just not addressing why you have your opinion in a way that makes me think there is something I should read up on to change mine. Or motivates me to search.

Do the top 20 cities in the US have most of the developers, or an unbiased sample? If you haven't considered that, fine, but without some idea, I, again, don't feel motivated to question my opinion.

Another vote for heavy focus on SQL. It sets the stage for so much and covers bases that may not be covered very well down the road. It's a skill that won't be going away unlike so many programming trends. It'll serve all of your students well, no matter what field they choose, and empowers them. SQLLite would be great and easy for them to use.

When I was in school, we focused on touch-typing and BASIC. I think touch-typing and SQL are must-haves with large return on investment, and then moving onto some programming.

For programming, I'd personally teach what I know best, which is C#. Whatever you choose there, I'd set them up as the language is used in the real world, full tooling chain so if they want to do more on their own at home in the summer, you've fully enabled them.

Generally speaking, by high school I'd like to see schools no longer teaching subjects at all. Leaving that to elementary and junior high. High school should be reserved to hammer into kids on how to filter out unsubstantiated information, critical thinking skills and essentially the medieval trivium. In the information age, we don't really need to teach subjects as we have the internet. The challenge now and going forward is working through all of it in an effective way.

For the mega nuclear powered cruise ship, you can have a sliding deck that everyone pre-loads onto for fast boarding and exit. Imagine if an entire floor could slide out onto the dock, and the floor above could slide into the ship at the same time. Both floors hold all people exiting and entering the ship.
This doesn't seem popular on this site, but learn Excel. It's good for a high schooler as a starting point. Python and R are good for more advanced processing and analysis, but others being able to read and use what you produce is a consideration, too. Same reason I can't draft many documents in LaTeX. Learn more stuff after, but start with excel, especially for stuff like stats and data transformation.
> The obvious ethical objection is that human error can happen with gene editing and is intolerable while selective breeding allows for the reproductive system to make errors which are not a responsibility of man but of nature.

It seems like you're saying, either way you can get errors, but if you do it through breeding you can claim it wasn't your fault because, really, Nature did it.

I can't tell if you're serious or not.
On the contrary, the rational way of solving a complex problem that cannot be addressed entirely is to break it down into smaller ones, estimate their individual cost/impact/risk and start with the most cost-effective options.

In fact, people who actively shame others for eating meat, having vacations, and raising kids, are doing exactly that. Except, instead of optimizing the ecological impact, they optimize their own emotional return through gaining influence over others, similar to religious missionaries.

I think, for everyone who actually wants to solve the climate change problem, being honest about their goals could be a good starting point.
I am incredibly thankful for my wife, my job, my family, my privileged upbringing, my pets, the tech industry in general (even though I am contemptuous towards it at times) and most immediately a warm safe place to sleep.
It sounds like we're similar. My personal, entirely unscientific self-diagnosis is that I have a well-defined circadian rhythm like most people, but it's easier for me to override by obsessive interest than for most people. Even sans coffee (which I'm pretty careful about as I near 40), if I'm really interested in something, I can work on it in a block of time up to and over 24 hours. Naturally that futzes with my sleep. My "tired-impulse" is relatively weak compared to my "this is exciting" or "people are waiting on this" impulse.

Before I ran a company (about 1/3 of my career), I mostly managed to hold things down on a "normal" schedule, but I was always tired and frequently had performance reviews where the only complaint was my tardiness.

There are some interesting data points: while camping (which I do a lot of -- several weeks per year), I do tend to sync up with the sun, even though in northern Europe that means waking up before 5:00 a.m. There's also limited screen time. (Though I did work from tent on a remote beach in Crete for a month this year.)

I picked up some melatonin tablets in my wife's home country (where it doesn't require a prescription), and will experiment with that in the near future for I-really-need-to-sleep-now times, but as much as my sleep is weird, it's so intertwined with my personality now that I'm hesitant to medicate it away even given the chance.

I am a Hindu myself and I am NOT an atheist. There are two ways I understand the situation:

1. You could argue back to the priest that your organ donation is going to save lives which God would appreciate anyway and have your way :D

2. More broadly, one of the lessons of history [0] is that what begins as a practical way to do something becomes codified into religion because it's far more efficient to get the message across generations. I'd like to believe that burning the body (as many Hindus do) is one such [ Not burning the body may have caused infections and what not in tribal settlements long long ago ] . This being the case, organ donation is a safe way, too. If you're the more scientific kind, you can use this to further convince yourself to donate the body. I know I would use both 1&2 :)

[0] I read about this when researching how Halal and some other practises came about. I will try to dig up the reference but it was ages ago :(
You have a long road ahead of you--but it's a good road. Mine was diagnosed around 5 and is now in high school. That diagnosis meant services and accommodations that he was able to receive, which if he had not received, would have meant a much more difficult road through school. Thankfully our district does an amazing job working with him (and other special needs children).

It's an experience being a parent of an autistic child, but I wouldn't trade it. Certainly something to be grateful for.

I think there is a general principle, that if a certain number of people have a condition, possibly rare, that severely affects them, then there are almost certainly going to be a lot more with milder versions that may go unnoticed, by the public, or by the health system, or statisticians, or whatever.

I think your unstated assumption is that the level of the condition that causes health problems and/or a diagnosis is the same level that would mess with breathalyzers. It could be much less.
