You don’t “hire” the police, and that’s critical. If you did, they would be accountable to you and not the rest of society. Police are agents of the government which is accountable (to some degree) to the people. This is a tremendous distinction.
We can meaningfully talk about concrete dimensions just like before. Atomic radius is mean distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding shells of electrons.

Because the outer shell of electrons is fuzzy, there are multiple ways to define radius: covalent radius, Van der Waals radius and ionic radius. In molecules atoms overlap in different ways because they share electrons and electrons interact.

There still exists fundamental uncertainty about the location of atoms and molecules. Electrons, atoms and molecules have de Broglie wavelength. For molecules with tens of atoms the wavelength is in the order of picometers.
I am 40, my first access to a computer was when i was about 4 maybe? I wrote my first program (10 print "hello", 20 goto 10) at 6.. IMHO this early introduction massively impacted my ability to understand tech and assimilate information around me.

While i think that monitoring usage of devices is important, the idea of not giving a 6yo an ipad or similar when in all likelihood their familiarity with these concepts will benefit them greatly is a bit naive.

So while i don't know the answer, i 100% agree that the solution is not to leave it all to parent.. I would expect a cashier to question my 15yo buying booze, even if i had said it was okay - this is basically the same thing imho.

or a bit like the high voltage warning signs behind barbed wire and locked gates in electricity sub-stations.. or weak roof signs that only burglars will ever see - ultimately we want to minimise the harm.
In my family, the grandparents live with their children and grandchildren sometimes, so they don't need phones (or at least only grandma or grandpa needs them, but not both).

But the younger set of grandparents all have their own phones, so it's only the very old that don't.
They aren’t close to identical sounds though. Drones are much higher pitch, and will be clearly distinct.

It’s like when a car honks or someone whistles on the highway. There is a lot of noise, but the higher pitches are distinct.

Sans phone and laptop connectivity for about 6 months. Was working on a farm in Australia during a working holiday visa. Not my main goal, either -- I was there to do NBN work building fiber optic networks. But Abbott froze the project and I figured I'd give farm work a try for a little while. Didn't hurt that I was dating a Canadian girl who was a cook on the farm station.

I had a phone and laptop with me, but no connectivity. Only way out was the satellite link the owner of the farm had. We got plenty of satellite TV channels, but no real dial out. Owner would let us plug in once a week to the sat-router and check emails / quick facebook updates, but otherwise sans connection the whole time.

Played a lot of cards, talked a lot of shit, worked a lot. Big dinners with the whole staff and the farmer's family. Not a bad experience but not a great one, either.
You can close roads and bridges. You can punish people who try to cross in secret.

There may be reasons why you would choose not to close the borders, but it's a choice.

The implication I’ve seen is that the bosses of minimum wage workers would need to see a pay increase if their pay is also only a little higher than minimum wage already. So pay would get crunched higher in those situations and mostly at the lower levels.

The data for increasing minimum wage is curious. While job losses don’t occur for the most part when increased there does appear to be suppression of new jobs, some churn in rural areas, and for small businesses starting up. However, the stats I saw don’t really show anything about the wage distribution of new jobs but currently most new jobs are temp and gig workers that are usually higher than MW anyway.

I’m generally in favor of market based approaches because they’re less susceptible to political issues but improving baseline wages at the bottom with a market would mean we need to drastically create more employers needing unskilled labor, remove a ton of unskilled labor from the pool, or increase unionization to increase bargaining. These are all a lot harder to accomplish and take a lot longer than just making MW higher by regulations but the political capital spent here to pass the increase in today’s America would be worse IMO than focusing more on affordable housing and healthcare that are easier with legislation and public funds.

I do agree that you are replacing one subjectivity (the tests and tools rules) with another (the teacher view of what is a good code).

But the idea is that a teacher is not as strict as a tool and is not here to punish student, but to instead grade them fairly in order for them to see what they can improve, and provide assistance for them to improve on those point. Well at least in theory, its not that easy to do :) .

The main reason why I disliked automated grading was that, a lot of time, I could see that a student almost got the right answer, but either didn't have the time to finish, or made some small mistakes. A automated tool would have given him 0, the same grade that a student who failed to understand anything or didn't work would have had, which I see has highly unfair. He cannot have all the point, but he should have some.

Not valuing the work of students is the quickest way I found to demoralize student and ultimately have them fail the class. And this is the opposite of what a teacher should strive for.
Mounts on the bay doors might have infringed on space requirements for other weapons that would be used more frequently. IIRC, the F-117's primary payload was 2 2000lb bombs, so cutting that in half for a mission that might not be very common would be a hard to sell tradeoff.

As always, I can't recommend this course enough, it's a really enlightening dive through the layers that make up a computer, and I presented about my experience with it at a Python meetup.

With that said ...

1) They respectfully ask that you not share your solutions, so as to ensure others have to figure it out or ask for help in the forums.

2) Why share the assembler specifically? That's probably the least difficult or interesting project, as it's mostly just translating the mnemonics to binary.

3) Holy code duplication! [A] Surely Rust allows you to break off a simpler structure that just represents the mapping from assembly to binary, and then you can have one loop that does the insert/to-owned on each element?

Does "I was born in the early seventies" count? I spent the first decade or so of my life with "computers" as room-filling things in TV and movies, and boxes in school labs; laptops didn't reach a place on the price/performance curve that worked for me until around my mid-thirties, and I spent the first forty years of my life without a smartphone.

Honestly yeah, I think smartphones have done terrible things to my focus. I periodically delete stuff off my phone that exists solely to distract me; the only social media app on my phone is a pinned webapp for the Mastodon instance I run. Sometimes I go through phases of habitually setting my phone to airplane mode when I put it back in my purse, to throw up one more little barrier to make me think "do I really want to blow half an hour fucking around aimlessly scrolling internet trash in hopes of finding something actually interesting".

Really I'm a lot happier when I'm walking along looking at the world and watching my brain disengage and think big slow thoughts than when I'm walking along with my head down, constantly buzzing with tiny thoughts spawned by sites designed to keep me scrolling as long as possible to keep their engagement numbers up so they can look like a better place to sell ads.

My primary work tool is my laptop - but I'm an artist, I don't need to be online to get most of my shit done. I like to go work out in cafes and parks, with all the radios turned off to help extend battery life - and to eliminate the ever-present distraction of the Internet. I don't envy people whose work requires a constant connection!

I don't think a period of cold turkey would be a bad idea. Who are you when you turn off that constant stream of distractions, who are you once you've stopped craving that constant distraction? If you're young enough you might have no idea of who that is. Find out. Remember what it's like to be that person as you start experimenting with letting the Distraction Machine back into your life.
They probably had worked on this feature for some time and are using the current times as an opportunity to introduce it. It's hard to believe they had the capacity to react to the traffic increase and develop a sharp new feature in less than a week.

Up to a few years ago, I would take vacations where I would travel for weeks without a phone. In my day-to-day, I interacted with technology for 10-16 hours a day, and that bothered me. So I would completely unplug. I would just bring a notebook, a pen, and a DSLR camera.

People were always shocked when they'd hear this. "How could you possibly travel without any electronics?" They were unfazed by my response, "This is how people took vacations up until 5 years ago."

My experience was positive. When I returned to work, I'd be full of ideas and energy. But it's less convenient. To travel safely, I had to research everything I might need: directions, alternative routes, phone numbers, restaurants, sites to visit. When I landed, I needed to find an international calling card and public phones to call my loved ones. These were difficult to find 5 years ago, and I'm sure it's close to impossible now. But everything always managed to work out. In a lot of ways, it created so much more of an adventure. It put me in a lot of unfamiliar situations that I needed to reason through.

There's no way I could do this anymore. I've started to prefer unstructured vacations where I travel to cheap places on a whim. Buying last-minute tickets is so much easier with an internet connection. Also, my girlfriend would never put up with it. She'd rather just have a phone with a map. And in some ways, that's so much more sensible.
Funny, to see this pop up finally.

I've been talking (with my friends) about how all development is 'fear driven development' for quite a while now.

Of course I don't mean just software development, but the way it manifests in software is instructive.

The different fear responses range from formal methods to FOMO but in general we latch onto something as a source of comfort.

I've read our production has more than doubled since the 90's; wages have not.
Yeah, I don't know where to start with comments like this. There certainly are people that think "stock runners" should make as much as engineers and business people (or close), but this isn't exactly a mainstream belief. The concern is more about making a living wage, healthcare, retirement, and employment rights. Communism isn't necessary to achieve these goals. The outrage has more to do with people hoarding obscene amounts of wealth, without paying their fair share of taxes.

Very few people are interested in going after the middle class. Now the middle class may or may not be collateral damage of their policies, but that's not the goal. Not too many people are worried about a software engineer making $90k-$200k (probably more in the valley, this is based on areas with modest COL)

You might like ok-bash. (https://github.com/secretGeek/ok-bash)

In any folder, you put all your favorite One-liners for that folder into a file called “.ok”.

Then you can run them command with “ok 1” for the first command, or “ok 2” for the second command, etc. Use “ok” by itself to pretty-print all the available commands in that folder.

I started the project but my friend @doekeman took it waaay further than I ever dreamed.

It’s really helpful if you have a bunch of different projects that you work on, and need a way to remember all their different commands and incantations.

There’s a Powershell version too (ok-ps).

For there bit where I jump around from one project to another I use a system called markjump. It’s great too.

Can't this be solved (for a new aircraft) by having a similar seeker on the aircraft (IRST) and letting the missiles tap into that, so that it can sort of "see" while in the bay, and you can be more or less sure that once deployed it will actually track?

> Every glyph includes a number of binding points, one for each of its arguments, the semantic roles involved in its meaning. For instance, the glyph glossed as eat has two binding points—one for the thing consumed and one for the consumer. The glyph glossed as (be) fish has only one, the fish. Often we give glosses more like “X eat Y”, so as to give names for the binding points (X is eater, Y is eaten).

Seems so ... even in logic programming we have logic glyphs. Maths is full of glyphs with connectors, especially the integral sign.

<bank-glyph>->50<money-glyph> is sorta analogous to bank->withdraw(50) ... (HN seems to be removing emojis)

This makes sense ... is this how chinese words operate ? Its logical and it makes sense why early languages were logogram based. In normal languages like english it seems the "connection" points are separate and split into separate words.

Has anyone done research on commonly used words in code ?
Not so much hoarding, as the rules were changed so they could skim egregiously off of every transaction. When the man-in-the-middle makes more off of a money transaction than either of the parties involved, the systemic result is they end up with all the money. Model the flows, not rocket science.

Taxes are a patch. A direct fix is to severely limit fees for money handling, and to limit executive compensation. Like we used to do, before de-regulation turned it into a shark-infested bloodbath.

Product Manager Salary: What to Expect with Experience, Education
Countries quite different to NZ achieved (near) elimination with a lockdown approach. Vietnam, for example. Other countries have been successful without a lockdown, e.g. South Korea. There's more than one way to beat this virus. New Zealand even made some big mistakes to this day --- not encouraging mask wearing, not testing people in quarantine --- and still pulled it off. Beating COVID19 is not easy but it's not crazy hard and you don't have to be an island fortress. Seems to me there's a lot of special pleading going on to rationalize failures of leadership and execution.

OTOH I agree that lockdowns in many countries have been very poorly done. In particular, a lot of countries have used lockdowns as a delaying tactic with no clear strategy for eliminating the virus or avoiding endless cycles of infection and lockdown --- certainly no clearly communicated strategy. In those cases, indeed a relaxed lockdown with more infection might be better in the long term.
