> If most of the students did bad in the exam, the problem lies with the one factor in common: the professor.

Class distributions vary significantly. I TA'd elementary computer programming for seven quarters.[1] Some classes were more engaged, some less. My worst was a TR 3pm: a quarter of the students failed. My best was a summer course in which I taught without a computer (except for the labs): the room wasn't equipped, so I printed the slides and wrote on transparencies.

My N of 7 isn't significant (average grades ran from 72-82%, I think, and I don't know the standard deviation), but it's worth thinking about the problem more globally than your comment suggests. We often think of student grades statistically (work that curve!), but we rarely think about it with respect to a set of classes. It's likely that this professor has had classes that were very good and very bad and some that were in between.

Reflecting honestly on my own career on the other side of the desk, I was not a very good student. I studied to pass tests, not to learn. I got a degree because failing me would have looked bad for the institution, not because I was particularly deserving.

The humiliation of that experience turned me (I think and hope) into a life-long learner--and it informed my teaching in the classroom. Failure is one of the best teachers to those willing to learn her lessons.

[1] We team-taught occasionally and always team-graded the exams (one question or section, depending, per TA) to help level the grading. We had a department policy that failing the final exam meant failing the course. We encouraged collaboration among the students on homework--less so on labs--reasoning that it would strike a balance between understanding the material and acquiring needed soft skills. Office hours policies were quite liberal: all students were welcome at all TA hours, so if you had an issue with your instructor you could visit the TA and supervisor. Complaints were taken seriously, and underperforming teachers were removed. My reviews were generally good, with the biggest complaints about my language. (I modified my class structure to spend a few minutes on vocabulary each day in response.)

That’s like saying that calculators eliminate the need to learn arithmetic — the reality is that fluency enables you to do more.

Knowing things is more important than ever. Googling crap on your phone is also too slow and too failure prone.

2019 Smartphones That Took the Lead in This Year’s Technology
appreciate it. I actually started out with QMK on my Tada68 to emulate a lot of this. I’ve found karabiner is a tad bit easier for cross keyboard compatibility (not to mention I bricked my Tada atleast twice attempting it ).

But QMK is definitely awesome cause no need of installing software. Just plug your keyboard anywhere and you’re off to the races.
I literally started with that. I did not forget anything and my perspective is as a non-affiliate to Gulenists or Erdogan.
It's anecdotal but I wasn't confused at all.

Wow dude, if you've only got one client that you can't lose and they are slave driving you then you are worse off than employed as everyone says.

Sounds like the client sucks if you can't slow down or stop or control anything, dump them or start saying No. If you are going to lose out to the competition by saying No, then it sounds like you aren't providing any real value, you are just cheap labour that is replaceable and are getting paid poorly and incorrectly for it.

The point of being self employed is so you can do whatever you want and own your life. If you get good clients then you can get paid more, they can't afford to lose you or easily switch because of the value you provide and are willing to work with someone who has reasonable human needs. You can take projects without hard fixed deadlines or with vacation time booked in and get paid on the project, not by the hour or even day. If you provide real value, they'll want you back for the next thing.
This isn't keyboard hacking so much as desktop environment hacking
I have a great deal of sympathy for these people and it's a shame that the way zoning works it's difficult for there to be enough cheap housing built where people need it.

However, I have some questions for the NY Times:

1. What does the fact that there are people paying $13,000/month rent have anything to do with the people collecting cans?

2. They're stealing from the City, as you point out. Why isn't this wrong?

3. How much tax-free money are they earning? Combined with the benefits they're receiving from Federal Government, City, and State with this untaxed revenue stream, what's their income? How much would a person who pays taxes have to earn to net the same amount?
> Your analogy is flawed

Of course it isn't. The person making one argument against convenience chose convenience over the massive downsides of using the option with "questionable security" and that is "inherently unreliable". Hence the validity of the claim is undermined. Tomorrow your message might read that "WEP secured WiFi networks are the pinnacle of security and reliability" because dang decided it's a funny thing to do, with little recourse from your side.

The world is not only black or white. You're using the downsides of one extreme as an argument to support the other extreme. Do you realize now that they're both extremes and likely equally wrong?

There's always a balance between security and usability. A sweetspot where the system is convenient to use and still offers as much security as possible. Make it too inconvenient and it's either not used at all or people just end up circumventing all the controls to get that convenience. And this happens ad-hoc, uncontrolled, which is worse.

You might enjoy this song, "how I failed ethics" by the magnetic fields.

"Though majoring in Visual and Environmental Studies
And minoring in History of Sci
I had to retake Ethics from my Mennonite professor
For whom my skepticism didn't fly.

"The first time I made mincemeat of the standard propositions
Establishing a so-called moral science
And I declared morality an offshoot of aesthetics
And got a failing C for my defiance."
I do multi day fasts (water Ott broth fasts, so no carbs) and once I am in ketosis I actually feel like I can concentrate as well as when I eat.

It's key to not refeed carbs at all during fasting (no juices, honey, etc).

I also occasionally do keto between the fasts which might have helped my metabolism switching to ketosis more quickly.

Ketosis is - in brief - a metabolic state where the body primarily used fats to burn for energy. Our bodies are perfectly suited to operate on ketosis. But this is only reached if glycogens are completely burned which means to u need to avoid refeeding carbs entirely.

Basically it is simpler to eat nothing at all, than to eat at a caloric deficit.

Think of it this way: our bodies have evolutionarily adapted to be able to live off our fat reserves (when overweight).

I recommend reading material or watching videos of Dr. Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist who makes compelling well-sourced arguments and explanations.
Many students interpret bad grades in writing assignments as bias on the teachers’ part. That can happen, but more often the position or argument expressed isn’t necessarily derived from knowledge.

Aping the teacher/professor is the fast path, not only for the purposes of being agreeable, but because the argument is well thought out at some level. Part of the educational processes is being able to make an argument that you don’t agree with.
I suspect the weight 170 might have something to do with lack of enjoyment.

The gold standard is h->e->o->t->p->o - you use the theory to create a new prediction that is confirmed by observation thus supporting the theory. This is what is so compelling about 20thC physics - so many insights and consequence from the theory that are then supported by subsequent observation and experiment.
> Anything running over rf is vulnerable to jamming

Yeah, and the same sentence can be changed to "Anything running anywhere is vulnerable to something" and it's still true. I guess the valuable lessons are "There is never any service guarantee" and "something will always go wrong" when you want to built something reliable.
It's just leveraging the information you have on the user. That's what marketing companies do all day long. Bidding for ad spots in the marketplace and putting the right product at the right time in front of your eyes. Putting the ad of a local restaurant in front of a hungry man will result in more clicks than if the man is not as hungry, and more clicks than putting a pair of shoes.

You can probably also up sell your products if you detect your customer is not playing his A-game. A hungry mind will typically explore less options and be more prone to risky behavior. It's probably something inherited from thousands of years of evolution, when you are hungry and there is a potential reward you take more chances, you don't think and you go get it.

Доверя́й, но проверя́й (Trust, but verify)

Despite your well considered objections, we need to know that our computers are providing useful output at every level, especially at the highest levels which are once again being labeled AI.

The concept applies all up and down the stack of systems and organizations: When we don't trust our memory devices, we add error correction. When we don't trust our conventional software, we add QA testing. When we don't trust future governing officials, we add checks and balances. When we don't trust other countries we add verification protocols.

"Trusting AI" is not the ultimate oxymoron. It's just one more place we have to design systems to require as little verification as possible, and then provide the means to close the loop and allow verification of what remains. Trust in AI is big now because of the successes of non-symbolic processing. There's a real problem of understanding and explaining answers given by such systems. That the trust problem exists elsewhere is no reason to dismiss its importance here.

That didn’t happen often to me, and when it did we just moved on.

Probably more than you think. As smartphone maps have evolved, their design has changed and really sucks for many purposes.
Nfstream: A flexible network data analysis framework
Sauna-like locations, specifically something like tepidāria https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepidarium would be my idea. Warm rooms, water and salts being offered.
Nothing. There is no hope.
This is aimed at production or critical applications, though, not forefront or blue-sky research. In the former case, we need a shared & agreed framework to make sure everyone from everywhere gets statistically comparable results, with this checklist helping us in that sense. In the latter case, it is open field and we are looking for agreeable results approximation before a method, which will be devised later to fit concordant results.
This only works in an ideal world where all of the externalities are understood, people have a good understanding of what they’re buying, regulatory capture doesn’t happen and lower quality (cheaper) essential services are available.

Some examples of this creating serious problems:

housing (only the most expensive housing that can be sold/rented gets built.)

push notifications (it costs very little for apple to run their push service and they could allow users to select a different one if it really was expensive. The result of only allowing paid notifications is that most people can’t subscribe to notifications they want, from people, and instead get marketing spam “reminding them the app is installed.” This has badly distorted the evolution of the internet and I would argue is a big reason there are no longer any popular open chat protocols.)

Just about any kind of chemical plant/farm (until recently the public didn’t really understand how nasty some of these pesticides were for example, not to mention that these farms tend to abuse antibiotics and become breading grounds for antibiotic resistant bacteria.)
I recently accept a job on a big city. I'm excited to see what happens next. I've worked on big cities before, but mostly remote. I only went to the company once every 3 months. This time I'm actually moving.
Humans are notoriously good at coming up with bullshit explanations for both random/statistical & deterministic phenomena. Why do we want AI to do the same? "Trust"?

Please.

I work in finance (investment strategy; ensemble trading models) and I trust my algorithms more than I'd trust 99% of the portfolio managers out there. And these PMs are incredibly capable at coming up with bullshit explanations for market moves on short notice.
If you get deep enough into it, the path of least resistance slowly becomes using Emacs for everything. Macros at the keyboard level still have their uses, for all the things Emacs can't do. As emacs becomes more popular, expect that list to get smaller.

Of course, if you're not a coder, emacs will never replace your Excel / Photoshop / AutoCAD etc. custom macros.

A Side-by-Side Solidity and Vyper (Ethereum) Cheat Sheet
That's a good introduction. The GameBoy is really a good starting point to get into emulation, I recommend it.

I've been thinking about making my own tutorial for Gameboy/Gameboy Color emulation over the past few months, I've even finished writing the emulator itself: https://github.com/simias/gaembuoy

I've made sure to rebase all of my fixes to have a single, linear, clean commit history that should be easy to follow. It can play most GB and GBC games. Now I just need to make the actual tutorial, but I want to make videos and I know nothing of video editing so I'm afraid that writing the emulator was actually the easy part.

If somebody has tips for video editing on Linux, I'll gladly take them...

Top 30 Form Builder Tools
I'm pretty sure invisible UI started very much while Jobs was in power. Hiding the scrollbar, for example.

I think it's quite a myth that Jobs knew good design. Jobs had a fetish for minimalism. For simple, single use, UIs that's often a good choice. I think that's what made iPods and the first generations of iPhones so well designed. But as smartphones have transitioned into being primary use devices with greater abilities, hidden UIs and extreme minimalism because a worse choice.
I use karabiner to map capslock to control when held down, and to escape when just pressed. It's really handy for vim.

No one _needs_ to pass those kind of interviews. There are plenty of jobs that doesn't require that at all. But if you want to, it is sure handy to be able to remember obscure algorithms.

> The UI is a nightmare.

While I definitely wish it was better, I’m tired of posts implying it’s completely unusable like this.

First of all, it’s night and day better than GCP and Azure to me, both are far worse UI wise. I spent 30+ min once trying to find the magic incantation to just update the billing CC in GCP and only after reading dozens of google SERPs wading through lots of negative comments online of people ranting about the same issue did I figure out what was wrong.

But that’s not the point, having better UI than your two leading competitors doesn’t automatically make yours not awful too. So to that I have to ask, what makes it so bad to you? From the very beginning I was always able to find everything I needed without much difficulty. Sure, there were rough places, especially around ECS when it first came out, but overall it felt intuitive for the most part.

Furthermore, AWS APIs (which is imho how you should mostly be interacting with AWS) are generally feature complete and not overtly painful to use in my experience. Sure, I’ve had to add a busy loop in my code before to poll for completion, but there’s far worse sins with other APIs I’ve had to use. There’s also head scratching “why must I do this in two or more separate calls” moments too, but again, if you read the docs it’s all easily doable.

Endpoint, can you actually provide some definitive examples to justify that “UI is a nightmare”, or is it just FUD to relieve your own stress on something likely unrelated?

Maybe? Between the DVR and TV from non-ad sources, we rarely see any commercials at all -- and yet my wife and I both routinely have another screen up during SOME shows.

We find there are two kinds of movies/TV: stuff that's kinda just relaxing and during which you can browse twitter or whatever, and stuff that's more serious where you can't really multitask without missing important aspects of the show, either because of the filming style or the density of the material or the pace of events or whatever.

The canonical example of the latter is The Wire. More recently, I'd put The Crown or Watchmen in this category. For the former, well, pretty much any traditional network show counts.

However, even in high-attention programming, it's pretty common for one of us to pause the show and check a screen to verify where we saw a given actor before, or look up a related bit of information (e.g., during the Crown, we often check on historical context).
It's just new, so there is room for newcomers. It's not different.

Was just joking with my dentist about this. As a kid and teenager I was very bad about brushing and only flossed if I had something painful stuck in my teeth, I’ve paid for it with tons of cavities. She said I need to be careful about how hard I floss now because I could damage the fillings and then will need implants for some of them. I jokingly replied that hopefully by the time the need arose science would be able to regrow a full set of teeth for me.
In Belgium there's a similar law which almost prohibits the usage of Ring. In the law, there are two main usages of this kind of system. In case you want to use it to identify persons who ring your doorbell, you need to comply with the following:

- The camera can only be active when someone actually rings your doorbell

- You cannot store any images from this camera.

If the system you have installed doesn't abide by those rules, it falls under the more stringent camera surveillance law. That includes hanging up pictograms indicating camera surveillance, registering and obtaining permission,... and so on (gdpr becomes relevant).
I've given the same tests to my students 3 times - word for word and many students still failed. The good students who cared raised their scores with each repeat. The non-nonchalant students sometimes, managed to score less.

I don't keep my intention to repeat test questions secret. I do this to prepare them for pre-uni, university and professional exams which always reuse questions.

That may be. There is certainly a powerful stigma around sex work that prevents people like your friend from advocating for themselves.
Having foregone nearly all packaged food and all flying for about five years, I can report similar results -- discovering that what was supposed to be more convenient, bringing the world closer, connecting me to family, and exposing me to more culture did the opposite.

Next to nobody I've shared my experiences with considers going without packaged food and flying possible, let alone my results, but experience speaks louder than their speculation.
Just wondering, what additional security would you expect from open hardware vs. open software with transparently designed hardware? From a threat modeling perspective it seems that if the device is just using one chip onboard there are no clear security advantages of open hardware. Open hardware would only be provide a security benefit if you are planning to make your own security key, which most people won't be doing. And by being open hardware there is an additional threat model created where it is now easy for adversary to create identical clones of security key that can be used maliciously.
Did you still drink beer when doing IF? I think it may be worth trying IF again then without he beer consumption. Beer contains carbs and will thus increase your insulin levels and the alcohol will delay processing of carbs in your liver thus delaying the onset of fasting.

Also vegetarian diets are often carb-heavy and a major health benefit of fasting is the absence of carbs.

I am more of a multi day fasting person tbh. Fasting for two days and three nights surely is successful with me.
