How many kids, and what ages are they?

My daughter's 10th grade programming teacher (<3 you, Mister Serota) had a pretty brilliant mechanic for teaching functions to kids in his class that he relayed to me, and which I will attempt to relay to you.

Effectively, he simply assigned some of the children in class to be 'a function.' Whatever input he gave them, they would have a predetermined routine to execute and give him output. E.g., "Billy, your function adds 2 to whatever input is given. Barbara, your function is to divide everything by 2. Samantha, your function is to determine whether or not dividing something by 2 will leave a remainder (modulo)."

Then he would work complex computations through the room with scripts he'd devised, showing the power of chaining functions together. Similarly, if you give Billy the "+2" function, and then give him an input value of "A", well, he might come back with "C" as the output, or he might come back with puzzlement, and you can teach error handling. Similarly, you can assign multiple kids the same functions (and show asynchrony, or hand them different bad values to show the possibility of inconsistent code).

TLDR: You "program" the children to be functions, feed them data, and then play around with how to best illustrate the concepts by manipulating the inputs and how you string them together.
I'm identifying myself a lot with your story. I think I might have ADHD and my psychiatrist is thinking of prescribing me SSRI. Do you end up taking ADHD medication or was the SSRI enough for you to fell the change?
It appears to have something to do with this code (paste the URL into DevTools when you're on the site). webpack:///./frontend/js/trackers/keyboard-tracker.js

There's one other keyboard event listener, but it doesn't appear to do that.

Integrity doesn't restrict ebpf. Confidentiality is for cases where you're doing stuff like using EVM to prevent offline attacks, which involves the kernel holding a key and using it to sign all files. This can be circumvented if you're able to just scrape the secret out of the kernel.

Saying that Trump is to blame for the implementation details because he has the veto power is a little silly. Congress, on both sides of the aisle, has responsibility for any flaws in the legislation.
If you let something other than more money motivate you to work harder, you're a sucker. If you are working in the private sector, the transaction is pretty clear: they give you money, you give them labor. If, by some psychological trick, they get you to give them more labor for the same amount of money, then I think you've been had.
I don't recognize that at all. I know too many to count that have an Oculus Quest and quite many had regular VR headsets before that.

Personally I play Beat Saber on a daily basis and pretty often other games as well.

> inspire a whole generation of developers in a way that hasn't been done since the release of the original iPhone.

I don't really think this is true. Most of what I've heard about magic leap from developers has been skepticism, while the hype seems to have been from VCs and journalists.

Any particular examples of the enthusiasm you've seen?

Nope and that's why the $600/week increase is already guaranteed to stay through at least July.
I read your comment and I disagree. That's a tenuous connection between shareholders caring that a subset of potential FB engineers will not want to work there on moral grounds.
> Supporting the government in lawful operations is not evil.

No, it often is. I don't think I need to cite examples.

I'm not advocating for anarchy, and I haven't given up faith in the justice system as a whole. However, there are still many things that I will not do, despite being legally compelled. Leveraging my relationships, professional or personal, to help an agency with a dirty track record spy on people is among those things.

Statements like this...

> Tell it to a judge. But if you lose, then comply.

...are extremely problematic. You can argue that most of the time, in a social order that you believe to be a net positive, you should comply rather than rebel. But phrasing it as an absolute perpetuates any existing authority, no matter how corrupt, forever. If you are sufficiently confident that the right thing to do, taking into account all the disruption it may cause, is not to comply, then you are still morally obligated not to comply.

What is right and what is legal do not always agree. And yes, that is still true even in a society that theoretically allows for change "through the proper channels". Even in the US, many of the most important changes to the law have been made by breaking it. Again, I don't feel the need to cite examples, since we have entire days of the year to celebrate most of them.

I'd guess that problem might go away if you make their bonuses contingent on a sleep numbers (along with the SLAs) for whoever has to run the application or it's downstreams whether that's a dev or an ops type. Base the number on pagerduty calls or something like so they can't game the number.

This was all exactly what Yang was running on. His campaign must be fairly bummed to have not stayed on message and instead making the various faux pas with is supporters such as endorsing Biden and saying Asian Americans must be more American in face of discrimination.
It sounds like these companies have to account and compensate employees for the risk they're asking them to take.

Long term health impacts, the risk of infecting loved ones at home, the risks of incurring thousands of dollars of uncovered hospital bills... all of these risks have real costs and I think it's fair to compensate employees who are willing take them in service of their corporations.
I don't think the PPP loan program was "0 risk" and I don't think banks perceived it that way. If they could easily make 2.8% for 0 actual/perceived risk, there would be no reason for any bank to deny any potentially qualified applicant.

From what I read a number of national banks (eg. BofA, Chase, etc) only offered to loan to customers with previous/existing loans (banks reducing risk). I think they were wary of underwriting risk (even though the USA government made assurances to banks) and risk of perception / reputation risk if any companies they applied on behalf of turned out to defraud the PPP program (possible future reputation damage).
I don't agree. If you're designing data structures in a code base you shoulder some of the responsibility for the persistence characteristics of that data.

There's a lot of devs that think database design is the same as starting a new ORM class and generating a migration file.

> Database, security, accessibility, performance, infrastructure, tooling and productivity, business concerns, workflow processes (agile), language concerns, new things

Yes, these are all things that devs should strive to know as much about as possible. Software isn't easy. It takes a long time to become an expert. 10 years sounds about right.

> Who knows if we'll add a new category next year?

Skill domains do come and go, but I think the ones you've listed are solid staples of web development for the past decade and likely will still be for a decade more.
> the Western world ignored what happened in Asia. There's a reason why so many infections and deaths are in Western countries.

Conversely, maybe Asia could make some changes to their food and wildlife handling practices so they aren't regularly introducing novel viruses to humans.
Interview preparation and interview questions for DevOps and SRE
I think WFH is going to be the new norm, especially for higher wage office professions. Mostly because are all seeing that it can work. That alone is going to put some downward pressure on the auto sector, especially prestige automobiles.

And my wild-ass guess is that the oil markets are going to be fucked for years after this. I suspect there will be massive bankruptcies and consolidation that results in price spikes to the highest levels ever seen as mono/oligopolies emerge from the ashes and seek to capitalize on their victory in this price war.

I'd be very surprised if the auto industry as we know it know recovers from this recession.
I'm amazed at the lack of shame in writing an article admitting that the wages one pays are less than government assistance. And the entitlement: "where's ma cheap laborz?!"

And, of course, it's all about the business owner. Here's a thought: your workers have other shit going on, and working a hard, minimum wage job isn't high on the priority list right now. But, no, it's a personal slight to you, Kurt.

The React Native team at Microsoft does occasional jabs at Electron performance (check their BUILD and IGNITE talks).

I have this hope that they eventually will trigger VSCode's rewrite into React Native.
I am in my late 40s and regularly interview people who are as old or older than me and occasionally they'll bring up alleged ageism from an old job or how hard it is to find a new job.

And I feel for them, but inside my head, based on the interview, I'm thinking "well, it's probably not strictly due to age, but rather that your experience has left you with strong opinions about things and as a natural response makes you less flexible to new ideas."

Based on this insight, I regularly catch myself making my own assumptions and yeah, I'm often correct, but I still want to maintain a healthy dose of self-skepticism.

Sometimes, I'm wrong. And sometimes the paradigm has shifted to a new model I am unfamiliar with.
I did a bit of Googling. Here's an article about the B-25:

Summary: My furloughed employees refuse to take a pay cut and risk death so that I can reopen my business and make money.

In the article it says his cooks start at $15 + $1 in tips. Currently with the extra $600 they are making $25.40 per hour. If he wants them to come back he is essentially asking them to gamble their guaranteed unemployment income on his business doing well in this time. On top of that he asking them to literally risk their lives. I see no reason that he should not take the additional financial and physical risk he is asking his employees to take into consideration when hiring them back. Offer them $30 an hour with a guaranteed minimum number of hours in writing. Labor in a very limited sector is a limited resource for once, employees should take advantage of it. Isn't that what capitalism is all about?
I don't know why you're downvoted, I did the Elixir course and it was useful and well done.
CCBill is the primary one and they charge nearly 4% per transaction and routinely hold transactions for up to 6 months sometimes. They also have high registration fees but they are one of the best for high risk industries.

How does reconnection work? lets say someone is using the site, and you do a deployment, rolling the nodes over. Does live view simply reconnect to another node without any interruption from the user's perspective?
The hotels in any city would lobby to kill any sort of government intrusion into the private sector like that.

On top of that cities prefer nice compartmentalized systems, short term rentals are hotels, long term rentals are apartments. City planners designate different areas for different use cases, airbnb style rentals go against this and raise all sorts of problems. This is one of the major reasons why cities generally dislike airbnb.
Woah, back when I was forced to implement them they only charged 4%.
Tough crowd!

Highest score for me is 36120, a session which uncovered an interesting emergent phenomenon in the gameplay. Much higher scores are likely attainable once the playfield gets divided into a large cleared area and all infections and vulnerable are concentrated in a small region. At that point respawns into the accessible space slow down significantly and you just have to liesurely dodge viruses... but it gets pretty boring. Adding a new element to spice things up would be nice.

Also added a Raspberry Pi build to the zip last night, tested to work fine on an RPi4.
"...memory CD4s proliferated and otherwise became activated in response to exposure to certain components of the influenza virus, but also to epitopes of several different bacterial and protozoan microbes. This cross-reactivity could explain why exposure to common bugs in the dirt and in our homes renders us less susceptible to dangerous infectious agents."

So the CD4 is a key activated to fit a particular lock, but given the imperfections of locks it fits a random assortment of others too. As we build up a keychain of these we have a better chance to fit any random lock.

But why doesn't the larger keychain also increase the chances of auto-immune diseases when they happen to fit our own locks? Or increase inflammation from other benign microbes it fits? Seems like the metaphor needs work.
There used to be magazines that would print, line by line, entire programs in BASIC for pages and pages. I did those as a kid on a C64. That definitely wasn't programming because I was basically just reading a recipe.

I officially took a BASIC class in Jr. High, but shortly after that, x86 took over and I really didn't do much with computers throughout high school. I got a PowerBook 145 for college where I majored in econ.

My advisor somehow got me an account on a VAX machine and that's where it all started. I was one of the first at my school to have email. Played around with some MUDs, gopher, ftp archives, etc. I eventually started goofing around with HTML. That was far more interesting than my econ work. I looked at changing majors, but my school's CS dept was severely behind (late 90's by this time. The only thing they were teaching was C and Assembly with no internet technologies. I heard they didn't add Java until the early 2000's.

Dropped out because by this time if you could spell programmer, you got a pretty good job as one. I was floating around with frontend stuff, but knew I had to learn backend as quickly as possible. I bought Fast and Easy PHP by Julie Meloni (which I still have!) to help a local animal shelter build a huge database driven site. It was one of the first in the state. That was a game-changing resume item at the time.

Now here we are. Go/Python/Node are my primary tools these days. I eventually did finish my econ degree, but my career is software engineering.
Actually, I'd say LTM's is the car, and Google's approach is public transport.

LTM's approach required producing, assembling and shipping a full 2GHz/1GB computer, plus PV, PV-controller and router, all to serve a single site. And it's even turned off some of the time!

Google, on the other hand, is more like a fleet of trains; sure, each one is a honkin' beast, but it also transports thousands of passengers/sites at once, possibly millions in its lifetime.

The bicycle analogy doesn't really work, because a bicycle is just a performance attachment to the real vehicle: the human.

Most distributions carry a patch to automatically enable this if you have a verified boot process. Otherwise, it's up to the admin to ensure that their verified boot process applies the appropriate policy (eg, by ensuring that your bootloader appends the argument regardless of configuration)
This is standard with most tech-oriented employers...to have an "employment agreement" that states ownership of anything you create.

I've managed to get exceptions, but for the most part, this is why I have always preferred being a 1099 contractor. They can only specify client-specific IP ownership and I get to do my own thing without legal repercussions.
Money were once tied to gold, then became fiat. Most of society gets access to money by employment. Work for wage is a great equaliser, because the ability to work is distributed in the population. Now the equilibrium is under threat because automated work is not distributing money as much into society.

I think money could be tied directly to people if we quantify human needs. Then fulfilling these needs of the population would be the source of money. The more needs a company fulfils - food, energy, housing, communication, health, child care, transportation, education, recreation, science, arts, sports, the more it earns. If it's not benefitting people, then it is should be worth nothing.

Let them compete in serving the population, instead of us competing for jobs. Keep those incentives aligned with our real goal - to exist. We don't exist for money, money exist for us. If we redefine money to represent 'fulfilled human needs', we fix the goal alignment and the equal distribution problems.

>I'm from Italy and here we are taught a linear history shooting like a bullet from the Romans to Renaissance (mostly glossing over the Middle Ages), and that has important political consequences in what it means to identify as an Italian.

As a Frenchman I have always found Italians identifying so strongly to Romans a bit creepy. I've had very heated conversations with people who wouldn't balk from the notion that « they » had conquered Europe at a time « we » lived in trees (notwithstanding Gaul having cities upwards of 40k inhabitants). Italy hasn't been Roman for much longer than Spain or Gaul and the entire peninsula nearly had a civilization « hard reset » with the utter ravage of the Gothic wars and Justinian's plague.

Things might have been simpler if we had kept the medieval demonym and referred to Italians as « Lombards ».
"Draconian labor laws" make no difference if you don't have any labor. That's key to grasping how different heavy automation makes things. Additional overhead of (let's pick a nice round guess) $5000 per worker adds up fast in a factory with 500 workers ($2.5M). But when you're only paying a maintenance technician and a security guard it's ten grand, and there are a lot of things a business might reasonably choose to do that cost ten grand without flinching.

I usually don't spend time producing evidence since no one else does it, nor did the parent comment, or you for that matter. It also tend to derail discussions onto details and arguments over word definitions.

But here, not that I think it will help: https://www.recompile.se/~belorn/happyvscriminal.png

First is happy person. Out of 20 we have 14 women, 4 guys, 2 children.

Second is criminal person. The contrast to the first image should be obvious enough that I don't need to type it.

If I type in "person" only I get the following persons in the first row in following order:
Pierre Person (male)
Greta Thunberg (female)
Greta Thunberg (female)
Unnamed man (male)
Unnamed woman (female)
Mark zuckerberg (male)
Keanu Reeves (male)
Greta Thunberg (female)
Trump (male)
Read Terry (male)
Unnamed man (male)
Greta Thunberg (female)
Greta Thunberg (female)
Unnamed woman (female)
Unnamed woman (female)

Resulting in 8 pictures of females, 8 males, which I must say is very balanced (I don't care to take a screenshot, format and upload, so if you don't trust the result then don't).

Typing in doctor as someone suggested in a other thread I get in order (f=female, m=male): fffmffmmmmfmmfffmfmfmmmff

and Nurse: fffmffmfmmffmffmfffmffmffff

Interestingly the first 5 images have the same order of gender and are both primarily female, through doctor tend to equalize a bit more later while nurse tend to remain a bit more female dominated.
