I don't understand how this sort of question gets pummeled with downvotes. Having developed Qt and XAML applications, I have to say that the DOM approach makes a lot more sense than wrestling loosely bundles of widgets. In the end Qt apps end up with a widget tree, but the path that they take to get there is convoluted and packed with unnecessary fusion of UI responsibilities and data and even business logic.
Just a guess:

There was no rivalry between Sava and Lazar 30 years ago, except for the Cismigiu park. They were in the top 5 schools in Bucharest, but there was no direct competition, they were all considered good places to study and kids used to choose based on the location and other preferences. Lazar had easier access to Cismigiu and lower admission grades, Sava was in a strange neighborhood but a nice, larger building, MF1 (Vianu) was smaller and harder to reach from some places, etc. They all had good teachers back then, no longer these days.
The current theory is that viral load is a factor in the severity of your infection. If you are exposed to it often and in larger quantities, you get a more severe infection. Therefore, healthcare workers are more likely to get a severe infection.

For example, the nursing home workers in Seattle were using CPAP machines on their patients that aerosolized the virus and exposed them all to large amounts of the virus. Theory also applies to subway riders, as outbreaks appear far more severe in areas that rely on public transport with NYC infections following the subway stops with a relatively high correlation.

I'm a Swede who returned to their native Croatia in the late 90s and early 2000s and found that kids were learning maths on a much more advanced level than we were in Sweden.

I've throughout my life learned that this goes for most of eastern europe. I can't explain why. If it's a more demanding education or if they have some sort of genetic/environmental predisposition for maths.

But the phenomenon has been pretty consistent in my experience with people from Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine and the balkans.

One memory that stuck with me was how the village children would come back from their last day at school, beginning of summer, and show off their report cards.

Dozens of happy kids walking along a dirt road with their report cards in hand, ready to show them off to any adult that might give them a few Kuna or candy for the effort.

I was shocked, having been raised in Sweden.

I totally agree that they're anti-user. But they have a dilemma.

Imagine a nicely formatted table of Netflix movies and shows available in your country. New, potential users can quickly find out if it's worth signing up. Existing users can quickly realize that maybe the service is not worth it.

I also have a theory that if you're stuck looking for something to watch and you've already spent enough time on their platform, you might just settle on something.

They're trying to stay as the "first stop" of when you want to watch something, and the only way they can keep that position is purposefully being murky with their offerings because, yes, it's a 90% shitty collection.

My recollection is that the foreword to The End of the World News said essentially that it wasn't worth writing well any more. But I read that thirty-five years ago or so, and may have it wrong.

Burgess's autobiographies, Little Wilson and Big God and You've Had Your Time are worth reading and quickly read. The former says a good deal about languages, and his experience teaching English to those whose first language might have been Malay, Chinese, or an Indian language; also the revolution in his thinking caused by learning Malay, where semantics trumped syntax.

And I do like "I always quote the word violence, because the word violence is the most unviolent word in the world, because it contains violin, viol, violets." With a bit of searching on YouTube you should be able to find a Rocky and Bullwinkle sketch on just that notion.

Yes but for the package to have any value the student still need to find a job.

LambdaSchool can get money on the long term, when the student get a job, and need to cover their costs now, so the packaging is not a weird thing to do. As long as the people buying them understands what they are, there is nothing nefarious going on.

There may be bad things happening at LambdaSchool but I wouldn't say that this part of the financing is one.

I remember a friend pranking other friends, the quizmaster would rotate his pair of hands palm up or palm down and the victim had to guess either "opened" or "closed". Slowly the kids would get it after a few steps, frustrating the "main" victim of the prank. In the end it turned out the state was whether the quizmaster left his arms pressed against his body (closed) or a few inches "opened". A variant would be whether he'd leave his lips pressed together or slightly apart...
> It will be leaked if panic=unwind and if you use catch_panic.

This isn't fully accurate. It is leaked if you use `panic=unwind` and the panic unwinds the function. At that point, the program is still running, but the memory is unreachable through a pointer in the program, and therefore leaked.

Whether you actually catch the panic afterwards doesn't matter. Not catching it will terminate the program, but then the program will be terminated with "leaked" memory, and tools like valgrind will report it as such.

Yes, there is anecdotal evidence that healthy people with high viral loads can die from this virus. It is a good null hypothesis to assume this virus could kill you. Everyone should be cautious right now. That does not mean it should be treated, and promoted, as a scientific fact to shut down discussions about the hypothesis.

Sounds very close to what Dylan is/was. Well, it still is, in the sense that there's a working, open source implementation (over at https://opendylan.org/), but it basically lacks the last 20 years of optimizations, which makes it, unfortunately, really slow. The ecosystem is also non-existent and very far from ergonomic. Still, it's a very interesting language - basically Scheme + CLOS in M-syntax (though it does have syntax-rules-like macros, so maybe not as "frozen" as Python here.)

I’m sure everyone has their own reasons, but my personal idiosyncratic one I don’t like buying apps that require online activation—I feel as though they aren’t really mine. App Store apps moved to a new computer won’t run until you connect to Apple’s servers, and consequently, you would be unable to reinstall them in a theoretical future where Apple’s servers have gone offline.

Mind you, Paddle has this problem too, but some other systems, like FastSpring, do not.

Although as an additional addendum to that—and this is probably not going to make you want to use Paddle—there is a generic keygen that works for all Paddle apps, so I don’t mind buying them because I know I have a failsafe.
There seem to be a lot of businesses out there, that should be cash positive. Yet, the VC funded ones (also the ones you read about), aren't. No idea why, maybe easy access to VC money, and VCs themselves, cause them toneglect cash flow?

> Fallability in Rust is spelled "Result<T, E>", and drop does not return one.

This isn't really true. All Rust functions that can panic are fallible, independently of whether their return type is `Result` or not.

There are idioms to use `Result` for recoverable failures and panics for "harder-to-recover" failures, but that's about it, and people do use `catch_unwind` on `main` to make their web-servers live forever, and they are doing it right, IMO (this is one of the many justified usecases of `catch_unwind`).

If the errors would actually be non-recoverable, `catch_unwind` wouldn't need to exist.

Also, even if you think as panics as "errors that will kill this thread", your program has multiple threads, and resources leaked by one thread continues to be leaked (e.g. memory is not reclaimed by the OS until the whole process exits), so you still have a leak.

If you have already decided, then best not to discuss this. Just do it. New Inputs might add to the confusion.

My 2 cents,

If you are still contemplating, think about how you might feel, say after a week or a month. Because the state of mind then would be different. The relief of leaving a job one does not like is temporary and then the anxiety of future takes over, generally. Now with the current situation, it can add to the stress. Side projects enthusiasm is good but again anxiety about future can bring it down.

If it is possible to push taking the decision, talking to your manager, having clear work timings / notifications might help. Also since you have decided to move on anyway, maybe it is an opportunity to be assertive in asking for some changes you might want.

Look for what else you would want to do, take a look at other openings, talk to friends all these can add some objectivity to the decision and their consequence.

While the immediate pain has to be addressed, looking for a long term solution helps one make better decisions.

Good luck and stay safe.
Based on my experience (Poland) bullying typically targets social ineptitude and sycophantism towards teachers, which tends to be somewhat correlated with good performance at school. But I've never really seen anyone being persecuted for good grades as such.

I wouldn't assume that's the case in American schools, though - not based on movies, at least. Could be just a convenient stereotype peddled by "college comedies", not a genre I'd take as valid social commentary

Politics played a bigger role. Simply put they had to aim for lowest common denominator when setting standards else claims of discrimination would pile on.

Many school systems went so far as to either modify grading systems to prevent embarrassment or celebration of achievement. Schools types which attempt to provide a more specialized learn curriculum are regularly demonized for one reason or another.

If you want the best education then the word fairness needs to be applied properly. Fairness is insuring all students are offered the opportunity to learn and receive an education while accepting there are many who can learn more and should be offered the opportunity to do so even if that includes elevating them among their peers.

Educational achievement should be held in higher esteem that sports yet for some odd reason we do not consider fairness is sports an issue where some kids cannot compete because of ability yet in learning we do.

The widgets look spot on, but the text has atrocious kerning. 'ti', 'll', 'd!' are squashed together. Windows 95++ had extremely good small size font rendering and did pixel perfect alignment and kerning of pretty much any font (However, the UI font was probably bitmapped). Remove the 'letter-spacing' styling - it breaks kerning.

Its hard to take these assertions seriously while they are so vague, especially as they seem to be respins of the idea that education, and higher education in particular, is taking liberalism/anti-racism/feminism "too far".

My understanding is that you're saying there is a causal link between admission programs being shutdown and CRT/I, and that the particular aspect of CRT/I that causes this is an insistence on equal outcomes across social groups. I'd be interested to first establish what the actual statistics are wrt gifted and talented student programs - are the closing faster than they opening? Are they shrinking or expanding? Where approaches have changed, are the outcomes definitely worse? etc.

Does this mean we are discounting material possibilities, such as just not having enough money or changing demands/restrictions on expenditure? Accelerated programs sound a lot like arts programs - easy to cut with minimal blowback. Are we also discounting that providing fair access to accelerated programs turned out to be far more complicated than we originally thought and that the choice has been to cut rather than spend money on extra tests and more qualified staff? CRT/I [aren't the only academic source](https://sci-hub.tw/10.1080/02783190609554382) of critique these programs receive.

I'd also contest your definition of equity in CRT/I as an overriding principle ('equality of outcomes by whatever means available' and implicitly, regardless of the consequences). CRT/I uses the principle of equity - that outcomes should be proportionate across social groups and that unequal outcomes must be accounted for. The vast majority of CRT/I scholarship explicitly focuses on 'leveling-up' outcomes, and where this focus is not explicit it is normally implicit (in that the paper would not otherwise make much sense, or the prospect of reducing everyone's outcomes to the lowest common denominator is a rhetorical tool).

‘people from oppressed classes have a truth unto themselves that cannot be taught but must be respected, and all opposing viewpoints must be shut down’: This is a misreading of CRT/I, and one that I suggest highlights its value. CRT/I asserts that everybody has a point of view and way of seeing the world that is affected by their various interlocking identities and experience. There are plenty of aspects of life were we generally accept the necessity and uniqueness of experience as a kind of knowledge - jobs, parenting, relationships, etc. Why should race, gender or class be different? However I'd argue that this assertion gets us closer to the truth. Accounting for bias in science and acknowledging how fundamental it is to people and instruments gets us better science, not worse, even if its harder. "all opposing viewpoints must be shutdown", seems to be a strawman: No reading of CRT/I demands this, in fact most of the literature consists of patient, often quantitative, critiques of systems (law, education, science, public health, etc). So if anything, CRT/I furthers the ideals you see it as threatening.
