I had a similar experience, though I still value skills I was forced to learn. Even things like cooking skills, that held little interest for me at the time.

I often found that my interests were there, but misaligned. I may have been intensely interested in some aspect of history -- but not the anything on the current curriculum. If, by chance my interests aligned with a class topic, I excelled without much effort.

My other gripe was the lack of integration between topics -- You didn't learn much about the history of science or math in science or math classes. Nor did you learn much interesting stuff about mathematical and engineering history in History classes. Art was the exception to this and I really enjoyed both the historical and practical aspects of Art classes for this reason.

My school days are well in the past and I understand it's a little different for high-schooler's these days. At least I hope that's true.

Interesting read.

Does anyone have a link to the earliest known credit card compromise to complement this article? I'll research it and see what I can find.
Seriously Who the hell do and fund these "being optimist makes you live longer, eating healthy makes you longer, water found to be wet" researches? Is this because of the so much supply in graduate schools or researchers/schools want to see their names in the press?
Great work, and the adversarial aspect is an interesting twist.

One quick suggestion on the scoring.

Currently scoring favours quantity over quality so the best strategy is to just find the big empty areas rather than thoroughly clearing around bombs. If the score also factored in the adjacent bomb count for each revealed position it would make that a more viable strategy.
I never thought there would come a time when I would want windows-support. However, the case is, that Windows as it is today, is quite inevitable. Hence if you want Crystal, you probably want Windows support.
Wholesale, yes, but targeted harassment of groups out of political favor would be possible.
This is not new, but has been updated with a letter from "Director National Security". The last line reads:-

If only they were that worried about the environment and global warming.

A bit astounted they try to stop one of the only decent thing FB is trying to push for instead. What a world we live in.
I'm writing a communication product that uses encryption to store the communications. A couple of things spring to mind when reading this:

1. It's trivially easy to write a communication service that end-to-end encrypts using modern libraries (in my case, Go). The encryption part took about a day to build, without me needing to understand any of the maths I was using. I haven't had any penetration tests on it, yet, but I understand that Go's encryption libraries are all tested and the implementation (plumbing them together) is pretty simple and hard to get wrong. So even if FB gives the security services some way of reading messages, then the bad people can have their own tool within a few days.

1b. There are other services, not as popular, that provide solid end-to-end encryption already (hello Keybase), that the bad people can use immediately. This is not about stopping the bad people from encrypting their messages, this is about getting access to what everyone else is saying.

2. It's already practically infeasible for a communications company to implement end-to-end encryption without breaking existing laws (mostly about copyright). Facebook's "end-to-end encryption" on message content will have to include a copyright content filter in order to not be targeted by the copyright legal industry, and the incoming EU legislation on implementing content filters on any service that can share content.

All this points at this not being about terrorists and protecting children, but at it being about mass surveillance of civilian populations. It's notable that of the "five eyes" participants, it's only the US, UK and Australia who have contributed to the open letter. These three countries are the most keen on mass domestic surveillance (in the West anyway).
"really excessive" is quite going overboard. Of course you don't need 250hp to go forward. Yet those cars are less that 1% of the sales, blaming CO2 pollution on those is downright ridiculous, especially since they're not driven at wide open throttle all the time, which makes them much less than the stated output overall.

For example my 200HP car redlines at 8k rpm, thus the legal pollution (incl. CO2) emission check is evaluated by revving it constantly at ~6k for several minutes, which is absolutely not what daily operation looks like (more like 2.5k~4k, and not even WOT).

Case in point my car usually gulps 6~9 L/100km (open road ~ city) but when I picked up the car last week after the mandatory two year legal check, the ECU was reporting over 20L/100km means consumption, which I never ever managed to reach, even when doing some spirited driving for extended sessions.

On the other end of the spectrum, this pushes towards heavily downsized engines that operate at the limit most of the time in regular use, putting excessive strain on the hardware, resulting in terrible reliability, constant excessive pollution, and premature wear of the engine. No wonder people have to change cars at 150000~200000km. Comparatively, at 12yo, my car is nearing that threshold and still performs as good as new. I expect it to pass 500000km with flying colours.
So why are so many children avoiding school in Japan?

Family circumstances, personal issues with friends, and bullying are among the main causes, according to a survey by the ministry of education.
Yeah, I also preferred the discussion in which the participants expressed what car I need and how I'm supposed to use it. And what I don't need, of course. They live somewhere far from me and have no idea what my family does and why. But they know what I do and do not need for transport, because they have a walking bus in their Lithuanian village and I should learn something from that first before going out there and driving my SUV.
I think the poster above wasn't talkng about input lag, but about the fact that the steering wheel acts as both input and output - you control the car through it, but you also get back information on the state of the car on the ad. If your motion was simply interpreted by computer, you would lose that information; so you in fact need a two way system, that reads your inputs and controls the car, but also reads the state of the car on the road and conveys that information to you.

Sort of like how gaming driving peripherals added force feedback to make the controls more intuitive.
That's not what a callback is. A callback is just a function passed to an outer function that the outer function may call.

Even MDN uses the term callback to describe e.g. the argument to 'map': https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

In contrast, Lodash goes out of its way not to use the term "callback", presumably to avoid confusion since it's a place where many functions-that-take-a-function-argument do not call the provided function, e.g. https://lodash.com/docs/#curry

"...other products just deteriorate in terms of performance at an unbelievable rate. Have owned windows and android products and after using them for like a year, it's hard to believe that it's the same shiny machine that you thought would be a good buy"

I use Windows and somehow my laptops and desktops do not deteriorate. Works like a charm. Same goes to my Linux setups. I do not use Android much beyond plain phone calls so can not really judge that one.
I would be shocked if it were faster.
> I've seen the curriculum and it's not appreciably more difficult than in the west

Pressure cooker learning environment does not always leads to more difficult topics. It is more about how much work is there to be done, how much time is spent by it and how they treat you when you fail (either by not doing or by making mistakes).

To large extend, kids actually learn more when they have time to rest/play and are not under pressure. Up to the point of course, playing whole time and no expectations dont lead to high results either.

Despite what many apparently think, this line very specifically does not say "there should be one way to do it", it is much more restrictive.

And as far as I'm concerned, the walrus operator breaks it in no way whatsoever: an assignment statement is the one obvious way to perform an assignment, and it's a syntax error to use a walrus as an assignment statement.

The front page of Reddit and the water cooler at Vox HQ are both depressing, boring places, especially since Game of Thrones ended and there’s nothing mainstream enough to fill that void.
Nice, but I think you need also an ORM. I used Flask with ORM from Django after I tested SQLAlchemy, and now I think that was a good choice.

Is this really surprising though ? If I was illegally living in a country I'd probably avoid posting on a social media altogether, especially not tagging my location. ("after he “checked in” to a Home Depot on Facebook.")

Trump or not it was already happening. It's the next logical step of social media / data collection. Especially in post 9/11 paranoid USA.

People have been warning us from the very beginning but no one took it seriously, now we're paying the price.
Haha, my comment was definitely tongue in cheek ;) I fully expect most of properly written Perl code to be statically parseable into an AST, save for pathological cases (and I fully expect a proper rubocop-like Perl linter to highlight such ambiguities, and would reject them in any sensible project)
...and four months of blue balls ensues.
There is a legal limit to the number of night shifts. Employers may chose either to have employees work a maximum of 140 night shifts per year or a maximum of 38 hours of labor between 0:00 and 6:00 every 2 weeks. (the mandatory 30 min lunch break is not labor)

But I do have an idea for your negotiations. I notice that people who also work day shifts and work 5:7 are tired all the time. If they push themselves either at work or in their private lives the weekend is to short to recover. They just gradually burn up over the year, go on vacation and look 10 years younger when they return.

I can push myself to [measurably] be more than twice as productive during my shifts for 2 reasons: 1) I don't have to worry about wearing myself out, on the contrary, I make an effort to wear myself out completely for the sports of it. If I don't recover in this weeks 4 day weekend I certainly will in the next.

And 2) Because I'm pushing myself and I take time to recover I'm building up endurance rather than slowly decaying. Working as hard as I can is actually beneficial.

Consider what it means: I do 6 days of work and they do 5.

During my 4 day vacation I'm available for messages and phone calls and they call me to fill holes in the schedule. If they call the full time employee he is very unhappy with the request (to put it mildly) and he is only "available" for 2 days.

It doesn't happen very often but if they have to work 2 weekends in a row their productivity gradually drops to something like 40%.

At that point I'm doing 5 times as much work as my coworker. That difference is so ridiculous I think it makes for a fine argument.

No more that the password already does. 2FA isn't supposed to protect you from the company you already have the data too. And it's not really for the "privacy" of that personal data but for securing it.

>Because our "leaders" are not smart enough to understand this, they've just been told it's bad.

Your comment is partially correct, it is the Home Secretaries, past and present, who have been routinely told by the civil servants to tow the anti-encryption line, which goes back to RIPA 2000 and even further back. In essence it is GCHQ who are asking and they understand encryption perfectly well; since they can't ask directly, hence the role falls upon the relevant minister in government to do it.

This will once again become a hot-button issue as outlined in the Queen's speech. The Tory Party is also switching from Whatsapp to Signal ─ make of that, what you will.

Is there a term for the kind of phrasing used in this headline? It seems to be becoming more and more common.
That's a false premise. Sorry, but the rest of the world don't have problems with that, we don't even know if that is a problem. For me, that option is really important because I can organize the icons in the order and in the spatial order I want. Same for my elderly mother, I leave her a few icons in the middle of the screen. Easiest way to organize icons on the screen instead to top bottom groups, icons.
Thanks, I took a look. They look geared specifically to getting Unity engine projects "ported". Porting my (non-Unity) code is the least of my worries; I'm already maintaining about ten different build toolchains.

I anticipate most problems in the Nintendo Switch platform rules and guidelines that I'm completely unfamiliar with as of yet. And I lack the hardware to test. But now that I'm forced to think more about it, both seem like solvable problems. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Hey guys,

I finished my first larger project in Rust today and would like to have some feedback on it!
Depending on the point of view the capabilities are quite basic and the project currently resembles rather a dark pool than a transparent exchange. The client can't query the currently active limit order book yet and I have some "obvious violations" like storing passwords unhashed in there but that's all coming, don't worry. :)
Correct and one should also point out that the field of yogis, spiritual teachers and holy men is full of fraudsters and charlatans.

That people seem willing to give unwarranted credit to some famous guy's claims does not invalidate your point. Ram Dass has said and written a lot of nonsense.

I hope you enjoy the experience! To be honest I think Angeldust is a video game tailored for non-gamers. Most people playing Angeldust that I know in real life are not gamers by any stretch of the imagination, but they just like the laid-back pacing, welcoming nature and upbeat atmosphere of the game. It's amazing to see random friends and acquaintances with zero interest in gaming have fun in my game.

Theory: It had no effect because his sadhana already crossed the zone of consciousness LSD moves one to.

In advanced meditation alot of “effort” is spent on ignoring ephemeral phenomena including the kinds of visual and auditory phenomena LSD induces. An expert meditator at his level would likely be able to move freely into the “LSD Frequency” and out again with no drugs required.

Bought it in discount recently, and it has a good/great ambience, just not amazing . Obviously a lot of detail work has gone into it, and the cockpit is pretty convincing. It misses that “this is an alive universe” touch. The scale of it is pretty good, you do get the feeling of these huge distances you traverse.

In Japan, mothers are expected to stay at home and their careers are pretty much impossible after kids are born.

American school system does not exactly make it super easy for working parents either. I know schools that basically assume that one parent works part time maximum.
That paper is a decent description of how autocratic or militaristic governments invest in education, the purpose of a school is a separate meaning though. The paper itself states that threats to democracy increase enrolment and not funding, showing that parents or kids find value in applying to school even when it is not invested in. The paper goes on to note that expansion into studying economic threats as a motive for investment into schooling could be explored.

The paper is too narrow to be a 'better sell' than transfer of learning, as dubious as that is.
Most digital cameras have a dynamic range well in excess of the human eye.
Come to think of it, it sounds like the catchphrases you hear when watching TV news. "At first she thought she was safe. Then Florida man showed up" or whatever, followed by "find out more tonight at 11." Maybe it's psychological clickbait?
Not sure how your backend works, but I read a neat technique by I think Second Life, where each actor is in a zone, and a zone is managed by a server.

If a player leaves the zone, their entire code stack and current state is shipped to the next zone (script hand off) without the player noticing. They mentioned because each actor is running in a VM/scripting language, the servers can pause/resume the VM for that actor on any machine they move to - pretty neat.
The article has the maps in it though. Do you have javascript turned off, or some other blocking in place?
Yeah. When a company doesn't make changes they get complaints about using the same 'old' or 'tired' design. The general market likes new regardless if it is better. To quote a recurring snarky remark from HIMYM, "newer is always better" /s

I think you're actually agreeing here with mjburgess' point that therefore theory-A should be taken as the basis for a research paradigm.
I call bullshit on that. Besides the rampant charlatanism that infects the "expert" meditator community, my own multi-decade experience with meditation tells me that anyone who compares it to LSD or other strong psychedelics doesn't know what he's talking about.

You could be meditating for 10 years and not come anywhere near close to what 1 hit of LSD unveils about the mind and "you".
What's funny is that before Apple released the large iPhones, people were leaving the iPhone to go to the larger Androids. There were very loud complaints about how Apple was behind, and larger phones were the future.

I switched from an iPhone 4 to Android, and went back to the iPhone when they released the larger size - the 6 IIRC.
