I was a student, a software engineer and a teacher :) ! I have to strongly disagree with you.
The programmer mindset is not about the smallest error / typo make your code fail. This is just a restriction of the tool which you need to be able to manage if you want to use it. The electrician mindset is not about knowing which type of screwdriver to use.

As a programmer, the substance of your job is to solve a problem, which you do using various tools. Your ability to understand the problem and properly translate it within the restriction of your tool makes you a good programmer. Making no typo doesn't make you a good programmer, especially these days where you can usually really on extensive CI stack to check for this kind of small mistakes.

And, I do agree that producing a program that is correct is the first goal, but it doesn't mean that other consideration such has the quality of the code shouldn't be valued, has you said. In the same way, properly organizing code may not be the first goal, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't reward student who clearly tried to think about their code. And, I would argue that a lot can be learned in school :) .

Overall it is all about incentive. By grading automatically, you are targeting the lowest bar possible. By grading also other aspect of the student work, you also give him intensive to work on those aspect, making him not just a machine that can pass unit test, but also a person that can reason about its own work and try to improve it.
Java is "safer" in the sense that the error is defined. If you try accessing an array with an out of bounds index, you'll get this exception. A language is less safe than Java if the resulting behavior is undefined, or even worse, if it's random or depends on the content of some other memory.

Java doesn't claim it's magic. It's objectively safer by this measure. (More specifically, Java claims to be "memory safe" [1])

Yeah the 80s are definitely outside of my frame of reference, growing up in the 90s alongside the growth of household computers and the internet, living with technology has been the baseline for me. It's interesting to hear the experience of those who grew up on the other side of that divide and have an insight into both of those worlds.
The triggering cause was the act of one policeman and his three colleagues who stood by (which might indicate the constriction was perhaps a kind of standard procedure that went wrong - or not. Personally I am waiting for an official verdict). That's not "the police". If you say that's "the police", you can also say "that's black people" if a black person murders somebody.

In any case, there is no excuse for riots.
Wegmans also famously pays more than union grocery stores and treats their employees better.
Actually, J is often less verbose than the equivalent APL, hence its use for code golfing.

This is less true since APL has begun integrating J semantics and operators, but still..
Well, if you want to leave behind a smooth gradient, then leave behind a smooth gradient.

Suggestion for an algorithm:
* start with the blur
* sample the four colors at the four corners of the blurred region
* quantize them
* fill in the region with bilinear interpolation.

Then your whole region can only reveal these four quantized color values. If you only blur then you will have a harder time proving the leaked information content.
Yes, 1949-1965. Not a lot of computers around, very expensive.
No, come on, provide something concrete. Searching for "cycling joint wear" just provides unreliable sources saying you don't use your joints up, but it doesn't provide unreliable (or reliable) sources saying the opposite.

It is easy to avoid incidental injuries, and everyone would much rather the trauma of an incidental cycling accident than the trauma of a highspeed car crash. Mentioning them in just scaremongering. Ride at a safe speed on a proper path and look where your going. If you can't look where you're going, you're going too fast; slow down. (You can't say "proper paths don't exist", because we're talking about the dreamland in which they do, therefore, by definition, they do.)

20 mi round trips are unlikely. You get long trips in cities developed for cars.
I second termbox. It's a well crafted library, and easy to understand by just reading the h file. I wrote the Ada binding for it just a few weeks ago.
Sorry about that—I was actually trying to use the name that implies a common product lineage (ie "Mac OS X is just the tenth version of Mac OS."), since we were comparing with the original Mac. Probably just ended up being confusing though.
> Sweden has much more of an immigrant / foreign-born parent population.

This was said in response to the statement that Sweden has 10x more deaths than Norway.

Yes, that works if the face itself is blurred, not if random noise is used in place of the face.
Your Black Colleagues May Look Like They’re Okay – Chances Are They’re Not
i didn't realize; thank you for the context.

i'd still point back to USB-C's complexities, though. apple isn't the only major company to have gotten USB-C wrong; look at the nintendo switch.
I was without a phone for a out 3 months.

After the first week of constant anxiety because it constantly felt like I had forgotten something, it was incredible, getting used to not having Google Maps at all times, and drawing up the courage to ask strangers for help with stuff like using their stores phone to call a friend who I was waiting for, for directions, etc. it was absolutely incredible.

I felt like a literal weight had been lifted off my shoulder and felt more independent and free than ever before. I explored a ton more, and had a great time overall. I was also less stressed out and did much better at work due to the significantly reduced distractions.

Of course, I was completely single at the time, which made all of this possible. I’m not sure it would be doable either when in a relationship or married.

Also, a lot of people are commenting about retreats and stuff, which also I have done and is great. However, living your normal life without being hyper connected and your face in a screen at all times (basically going back to the 90s) is a very different and refreshing experience.
The Shortcomings of a Salary Mindset
Microwaves are still photons!
> It seems to me that the experiment is countries trying to eradicate the virus through lockdown as opposed to just slowing it down, with no evidence that this is working or could ever work.

It seems to be working in Vietnam, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, and others ... even China probably.

Those countries have achieved local elimination or very close to it and are reopening (or never locked down) and have not yet had to (re)turn to wholesale lockdown.

So "Every country will have to adopt the Swedish approach eventually or find themselves caught in an endless cycle of lockdowns" is, at best, not proven.
This just sounds like sales talk. “Listens intently” doesn’t mean anything. Even if you work in sales for GitHub/Microsoft, please just write like a human when you post to HN.
Who were then immediately stopped by the peaceful other people in the protest crowd, hopefully?

And it would also explain the killing of black policemen, right? Must have been racist white agent provocateurs seizing their chances?

But damn those stupid rightwing people who believe every crappy conspiracy theory that is thrown their way, right?
The impact of the COVID-19 lockdowns is the strongest argument that personal lifestyle changes will not be enough to end anthropogenic climate change. We need massive investment in carbon capture, nuclear power, and grid-level storage as well as a carbon fee and dividend scheme to offset the impact on the poor.
I find it astounding that the grandparents have iPads before phones. Most elderly people I know have cheapo Android phones or a few with "accessible" android phones target at people with sight or mobility problems (usually amounts to buttons and a skin with large icons). A few still have older Nokia phones, but these are the ones least likely to have iPads and more likely to have an old Windows 9x/XP computer hanging around for solitaire.
yeah like the pregnant lady who police shot tear gas into their car twice, even after the husband shouted STOP STOP my wife is pregnant!

I'm not sure that's even necessary for the parent's requirement? You should be able to get the parent's data out of it since the location and campaign are stored; there just isn't a UI for it.
Laser painting is still THE way to target in a contested (No GPS environment). The SU-25 basically has no TV/IR targeting capability in practice (though it's been developed) ALA the A-10, Javelin, etc.

I don't fully understand why - whether it's a technical, expense, or reliability hurdle.
OK Sweden has fewer confirmed cases (40k) than most if not all of Western Europe.
Agreed.

We'll need carbon capture, even after the economy attains carbon zero, sufficient to counteract the natural processes (thawing tundra, burning forests, ocean acidification).

I'm with Saul Griffith, David Roberts, and others, who advocate a mixed strategy, backed by a New Deal & WWII & Moon Shot style urgency and commitment. (So I'm for all kinds of solar, wind, geothermal, greatly improved building standards, algae farms, reforestation, prop up existing fission, next generation of fission, and maybe some day fusion. I support doing all of it.)

Here's a fairly recent interview with Griffith. https://www.vox.com/podcasts/2019/12/16/21024323/ezra-klein-...

Griffith explains that solely market-based solutions won't be fast enough. We also need policy and investment.
Yes, the Italians-speak-loud-and-close theory is both plausible and bleakly funny. It works for New Yorkers as well.
As an American, I traveled in northern India for three months in 2004, two of them sedentary in Mcleod Ganj. It still resonates both from the contrast of India itself, but also in how I was able to happily fill my days without screens and fill them with friendly people. I'd amble around with my legs not unlike the way I amble around the Internet today. I'd 'waste' a half hour hanging out with strangers over metal cups of chai.

At the time, I had a Palm Tungsten and a foldup portable keyboard and would every day or so write a blog post on it. I'd send it out by putting its card (SD?) onto a USB adapter, dragging that to a slooooow Internet cafe where I'd hope I could connect to my Movable Type (Gatsby before there was reasonable JavaScript). If it didn't connect, no bigs.

It might have been the peak happiness of my relationship with the Internet. Just enough.

I got my invite to Facebook a year later.
This is very true in the US, but not a thing overseas (at least in Israel). Everyone is on WhatsApp for texting.
It shouldn't blur, it should be a black box.

You could definitely take signals code, and run it over the set of test images and find which output matches closest to the target image.

We don't "choose" to pay them little. They get paid very little because on an individual basis they provide very little value. This is just reality, and it will continue to be true until we have a post-scarcity economy. If we are making any choice at all, it is choosing to pay the lowest-skilled workers in our society more than they are owed by value delivered, because we have empathy and don't want people to starve to death if avoidable. If you set the scales, with one end being the raw value delivered to the rest of society by a warehouse worker at AMZN, and the other side of the scale being the value being delivered to that same worker from society (in the form of food, clothes, cars, entertainment, housing, etc)... well, the scales would not be balanced at all. Some European countries are more egalitarian because they have deliberately chosen to put their hand down more heavily on the scale in favor of the worker, but this does not change the economic realities of the situation. Relative prosperity continues to increase for everyone, all the time. Amenities once considered to be ridiculous extravagances in times past are now considered pedestrian and in some cases, "deserved".

The other issue here is that practically nobody actually has tens of billions of dollars, Jeff Bezos included. He is worth $100B+ because he owns AMZN. If Jeff Bezos did not own such a large portion of AMZN, then arguably he would not have worked so hard to run it. If he had not worked so hard to run it (harder than you or I have ever worked, I'd bet, and I worked a 19H day yesterday), then it seems unlikely AMZN would be worth what it is today. And if it wasn't worth what it is today because Bezos hadn't been there, then we wouldn't even be having this discussion. There would be no "billions that no one man deserves!"

Europe has plenty of billionaires too. They have fewer because they have produced fewer stratospherically successful companies.
That would be lovely in a world where the teacher-to-student ratio was say 20:1 rather than 200:1. Most major CS programs use automated grading for lower-level programming classes; check out Berkeley's huge infrastructure and toolset for their curriculum. There just isn't enough money (or competent TA's, often) to give good individual feedback on code style in intro courses.

Perhaps it is our own fault for somehow giving administrations the impression it is possible to teach well at scales where individual attention is impossible. I don't know.
For the person of that calibre, he might tweet directly on his .gov website.

It is not SWAT, it is police forces trained especially to keep protest from degenerating. Negotiator able to defuse situations, will only charge or fire (with water cannons or rubber bullets) on order but have the right to refuse them if they feel the situation can be calmed down.
Of course there's discussion. All over.

And the point of lockdown was, time. Time to understand what to do next. Now that's happening.

The concern is all the idealism and absolutism thrown about, instead of measured intelligent discussion, IMO.
> I don't see anything in the feature list about how they handle "pure documents".

True, but I’m taking the product name “Github Classroom” seriously. Maybe it should have been named “CSLab”. I think that the Scrum-like tools and processes that developers have refined over the last decade can be used in any endeavour that generates digital artifacts from text source files.

Github/Gerrit workflows seem ideal for these types of collaborative projects but I really don’t know; thus the question marks. My conclusion from your feedback is that a Google Docs-like WebUI is a requirement and my question switches to when is it appropriate to peak under the covers and see the plumbing.
I bought the game off GOG a couple years back. Very rudimentary graphics, of course, but the missions were a lot of fun. Avoiding detection as you fly low and slow in the dark.
Not that heavy. A Raptor weighs 1500kg (1.5 metric tons) so 6 of them makes 9 metric tons while the weight at the top of Starship should be almost 100 tons.
You should perform a non-invertible blur though... Or even easier, use the same noise image for all faces.

EDIT: come to think of it, you can generate random noise using a palette from the color in the blur area (say, take four or five colors and mix them).

Applying convolutional blur for anonymizing is very very risky. Because you might end up with something either invertible or nearly so.
I'm looking for my next UX contract. Lmk your contact details :)
Blurry line for who?

These protests are documented with more video and more sources than any ever in history.

Please point to an example where violent protestor outnumber those being peaceful and exercising their rights?

If you are so eager to call out individual protestors, are you as eager to call out police misconduct or paint with a broad brush for that viewpoint?

Are you condemning ideas and groups or are you concerned with conduct?
Education (in the french sense of the word)?
My only specific recommendation I already gave above, and even that is a hypothesis. If I had an answer, I'd be proposing it, but as it is, I've taken the easier path out, by living in the place where I'd found the nicest people, after having traveled a bit.

(I don't think one can make people be nicer to each other. At best, they can experience for themselves that things go more smoothly once nature is not red in tooth and claw, and decide to be nicer. That said, legislating morality does work better than one might think: it allows people who might already go along with the legislation to claim to their in-group that they still don't really like the out-group, but are only going along with the law.)
Excellent idea, but I think Snowden would be more appropriate.

They mean “service” not “tool”.
Also the way countries report deaths may be different.
I've been joking for awhile now that UPS/FedEx trucks could become 'aircraft carriers', carrying a set of drones along with the packages, using the drones for the 'last mile' of delivery.
Most of the fragments (sorry don't have a %) could be mapped to a genome. In cases where a fragment could not be mapped it's more likely because of degradation than novel biology.

That said we did identify some novel microbial genomes. Not clear if they are actually ancient though vs contamination in the last 100 years or so.
You can see the development of the UK guidance.

> Get rid of the num row and limit movement for fingers to one key in any direction using layers to simulate the missing keys (corne or kyria)

Wow this is first time I hear this recommended in relation to keyboard ergonomics. As a user of compact 49 key keyboard without a num row, can at least confirm it is not bad for productivity. Numbers and symbols are on layers and thus spread over keyboard. As a programmer I use a lot of symbols and I like the compact layout more. Precisely because there is less weird finger movement away from working zone.

Another thing I can recommend on regular keyboards is angled home row finger position: sdfv and njkl instead of usual asdf jkl;. With corresponding change to zone of every finger. Elbows on arm rests, wrists are straight.
I mean, it is cheaper but it's not that cheap. There was recently a post here showing very clearly that for example in Germany electricity is so expensive that a good diesel car beats it in terms of cost easily. Even here in the UK if I were to charge at public points it would again be cheaper to just drive a diesel. It only becomes cheaper when I charge at home with a good tariff.

Besides, seeing as our roads are exclusively maintained from fuel taxes, I cannot see this going on forever - the government will have to find a way to tax the electricity going into electric cars somehow.
The only hiccup I encountered in the past several years is that I had to figure out how to set up my YubiKey. That, and video games use key labels too often, but that’s not a professional concern.
It is a doubling or tripling of other places. 5% of all deaths due to a single infection.

The US lockdown had concrete effect, limiting cases to what the hospitals could manage. Further, we understand more now (1000's of studies and papers published in a few months).

To compare blindly ignoring the disease and crossing fingers (Sweden's approach) vs wait-measure-respond, I know which way I prefer.
That I'm a rational actor.
I genuinely wonder if there is any data that backs the hypothesis what countries where the current health and healthcare conditions are already very poor are showing low
numbers of symptomatic covid-19 cases because most people who are susceptible to disease have already succumbed to other diseases over the years.
I like this blog post and I support anyone who removes a third party tracker from their site.

There are companies that live and die by analytics and demographics but your personal blog doesn't need the information that GAnalytics sucks up.

GoAccess (suggested in a article) is a fine choice, although I found it did not do a good job of filtering out bot hits. For most people this might not be a big deal but it annoyed me.

In the end I just wrote[0] a simple hit counter that triggers off a js beacon.

But don't take Anarcho-primitivism seriously. A lot of the "thought leaders" on that side of the Anarchist spectrum just use it as a means to espouse what would normally just be considered Fascism except with an Anarchist twist.

It's the same stupid arguments that people use to justify population control due to "overpopulation". There's a school of thought called anti-civilization that's a tad similar with some divergences that offers far more interesting critiques of industry. Once you get through that, post-civilization thought is also rather interesting.

But really, Anarcho-primitivism is essentially fascist dribble disguised as environmentalism and social justice.

Sweden botched the initial response.

People coming from Italy (for instance) were not asked to quarantine or even informed that it might be a good idea to self quarantine for two weeks.

Nothing. This initial non-response might alone explain the Stockholm outbreak.

Edit:

someone could have greeted arriving travellers at the airport with a pamphlet. This would have made a huge difference without having to adjust actual policy. Etc, etc. There could have been so many things done which were not done.
