I don't know if anyone will particularly care, but both Substack and MailChimp newsletters have RSS feeds, in case you prefer those over mail. With Substack, you merely append "feed/" to the end.

With Mailchimp, well, you look for a "view in browser" or "share this issue with friends" link in the newsletter. On the archive page it takes you to, an RSS link is on the righthand corner.

Off topic almost: does anyone know of any (long life) battery powered wifi cameras (with IR) for a project like this? Off the shelf, with a battery life of months and nice looking (like Arlo) but not cloud?
I hope Windows 10 ARM will be able to to run on these. I think that might be the push W10 ARM needs to get recognized and have more native applications. It would be somewhat ironic too!
This idea certainly isn't new. As far as I can trace it, it dates to the late 90s, with Chris Crawford's Dragon Speech[1]. (Well worth a watch, though this shouldn't be considered an endorsement.)

An Introduction to Log-Structured Merge-Trees
Forget about the distant places, Houston has a few dense places where transit can get decent ridership. Get rid of parking minimums and developers can turn some parking lots into a building increasing density and in turn making transit work better. Focus where you can win, let the rest be. Even if the city grows faster than the transport network, transit is still winning. Slow and steady can win this race of the time span of decades.
> Hot takes from people with no experience in the field are only interesting to other people who have no experience in the field. It seems developers are particularly prone to this hubris.

This is definitely true about developers, and this is one of the biggest problems with HN.

That said, I think this particular article is spot on. Not everything is best taught through games, but right now 99% of stuff isn't taught at all, and a lot of the stuff that isn't taught could be taught through games.

FWIW the specific mistake you're making is thinking about this in a way that overemphasizes the context of the school system.

There’s also no contradiction between learning through games and learning by doing. Everything we do in real life has game-like properties, you just have to find them.
Thanks for the great tips! I'll make sure to update the content with these points.
Given that an ARM version of Windows 10 exists, why do you say "almost definitively"?
I do understand the value, thanks mostly to Haskell. I also know that (language- or tool-enforced) type safety and type discipline are separable concerns. I also understand when the former gets in the way, thanks to JS, TS, Rust, Lisp, and projects large and small, slow and then fast, fast and then slow, slow and then slow, and fast and then fast.

"We are starting to see some great games come back to the Mac, but this is one of the coolest I've ever seen...this is the first time anybody has ever seen it, the first time they've debuted it...Halo is the name of this game, and we're going to see, for the first time: Halo."

Just curious, what are reasons businesses would pay for a NewsCatcher API subscription? What are they using it for?

Fun API, though.
There _is_ the possibility that this is "just" memorizing / remembrance / memory of the just-passed (now-past) instant. Meaning as you think about "current" thought-X, the current instant is now thought-Y (thinking about X) and X is no longer "your current thought". Hm. Impossible to measure or decide because we can't ever possibly define "how long" is "now".
I just watched the movie October Sky for the first time last night. It really resonated with me as I use to make my own rocket engines. I think kids figuring out things on their own is the real way to go. It’s going to have to come from the individual for it to matter.
Which came first, the monopoly or the regulatory capture?
It's an absolute explosion of complexity. I'd have to talk for nearly an hour to explain the Bluetooth modes, and then longer if the user didn't understand radio interference. It's too much. It's like having to be able to tune a carbourator to run a car. It's a skill very few people have, and having less of it is actually good.
While both of the statements you made are true, the "let-it-crash" philosophy of Erlang seem quite orthogonal to the "fail-fast" of Prolog.

"Let-it-crash" had to do with the idea that a wobbling process/service is harder to design around than one that's just definitively dead and also that most non-systematic errors in running programs are "Heisenbugs" (the problem is transient) and restarting the process/service will make it go away.

In Prolog the point of "fail-fast" is to determine as quickly as possible if some search branch can't possibly provide a True result, so that you don't spend unbounded time searching for every possible version of false.
Or don’t bother. Wash your hands properly (google, “how to wash your hands like a doctor”.) The stats are in. Our reaction to this outbreak was only maybe justified at first, and is now totally overkill.

I'm not entirely sure what you think I was saying. You refer to me assuming and being uncharitable in those assumptions, but I was responding to a specific list of items pointed out, and my own experience. I think you're actually assuming quite a bit about my comment.

> You don't think JS is obviously unique for its ubiquitous Promise, async/await, + async-everything abstraction. You tend to only get that in other languages (Rust, Python, Ruby) by limiting yourself to a fraction of the ecosystem.

A fraction like nodejs or whatever subset of NPM you decide to use?

Core JS is what you get in a browser. That includes async/await, but it's hardly ubiquitous in usage in the core.

The main distinction JS has over Perl, Python, Ruby etc is that it's in the browser, so you can assume almost everyone has it and it's accessible in some manner if they access a web property you are responsible for.
My kid was very into Prodigy, but after a couple of months I discovered he was spending more time going around decorating his house and trying to talk to other kids through their limited chat feature. He ended up avoiding battles because he said it slowed down what he wanted to do.
As I explained - look at the percent of variance that’s heritable. Now look at the measured difference in population intelligence. Now tell me - what’s the probability of that being environmental, based on the fraction of intelligence variability that can’t be attributed to genetics? A fermi estimate is fine - you’ll end up close to zero anyway. You shouldn’t need a document to spell this out for you in excruciating detail.

1080p Youtube is delivered as VP9 or even AV1. It has no hardware to accelerate decoding. And CPU seems to be too slow for 1080p VP9.
A major problem with Reuters' RSS feeds while they lasted is that Reuters pushes new URLs with updates to existing stories and kills or redirects the previous URLs. So for a major developing story you'd see the same article in your feed 5+ times, since the feed was just a dumb push of every URL added to whatever category you were subscribed to. Still better than nothing, I guess.

The issue with this solution is that there doesn't seem to be any way to specialize it at all. I was subscribed to Reuters' politics feed [1] specifically, and I got other types of news from other sources. But I don't see any way to do that with this method. The articles unfortunately do not have the category in the URL.

Maybe not. But it's at least an attempt to a somewhat informed hypothesis, which a simple statement like "since it levels the playground" definitely is not.
I'm pretty sure many dentists are open to remote consultations. I know my doctor is. I assume my dentist would be as well.

I'm not sure what remote cleaning would look like other than "Be particularly observant to your brushing and flossing." I imagine untrained people hacking around with dental tools would cause more harm than good.
Integrate some kind of news feed to their platforms.

Just to add, VR adds a whole next level to this. Even as an adult, learning about the ISS in VR was a life changing experience.
False dichotomy. They could have multiple ports supporting multiple standards. This dismisses a valid complaint, in my opinion, the war on ports in the name of thinness. I've never heard anyone cite thinness as the reason they bought a device (weight, sometimes, but never thinness.)
People mostly dual-boot so they can access software they need that isn't on macOS, but it isn't available on ARM Windows either so why would Apple care to foster a nascent competing platform?
The first step is to consciously notice the pattern - at first it may be difficult and you would notice it only after the fact, but with some introspection and training you can generally also learn to notice and acknowledge it while you're in it. When you do catch it with your "rational brain part" it's generally not that difficult to break it.

That's a big part of what cognitive behavioral therapy does. Also, mindfulness meditation is one way for doing this that helps some people with the "catch yourself doing that pattern" part.

There are multiple violent narratives as well. The colonial narrative never ceases the violence. The fascist narrative tuns techniques of colonial domination inward to use on its own people.

I felt like the article and associated google doc were fishing for reasons to remove TS until ry finally mentioned "typescript provides an extra 500 lines and the namespaces make the code harder to reason with (V8 ingests these files directly)". IMO that was the only solid reason for the change.
>So all in all it's a nice story, but it's not clear that the claim in the headline is warranted.

I feel like this is a trend.

More and more articles and titles are only connected in the most general ways.

Like you can expect most of the keywords to be there but not the meaning.
When I was in college (1982-1986), my summer job was at a computer facility that served the K-12 schools for a large county in the Midwest. They had a big room that was equipped with each kind of personal computer, so teachers could come and try them out, and demo copies of every software title that they could lay their hands on, including "educational" software. The world had not yet settled on IBM and Apple, and the Mac was still in the future.

Virtually all of the educational software was lame, amounting to Glorified Flash Cards with animated characters and other decorations. Most if not all have been forgotten.

Fast forward to the past decade or so, my kids both grew up in the Internet era. Educational software is now Web based of course. But it's still not very far removed from Glorified Flash Cards. The main new feature is surveillance, ranging from making sure that you covered the entire exercise, catching cheaters, and tracking your online behavior. Note what one of the other posts says about stuff being sold that school districts are likely to buy.

Okay, there were two "educational" software titles in the early 80s, worthy of note: Word processing and BASIC / Pascal. As I understand it, both BASIC and Pascal were created as teaching tools, but both are completely open ended and imply no specific curriculum. They also allow students to learn at their own pace if they want to, and resemble tools that people actually use in the "real world." They also fully expose you to the consequences of your mistakes.

What "educational" titles do we have today? My high school education predated the word processor. I believe that my kids learned to be good writers and thinkers because of the ability to do a lot of writing and have it read and critiqued easily. And I've never stopped learning from having a programming tool at my disposal, though it's Python instead of BASIC today. Once again, those tools contain no built-in agenda and provide total exposure to making and learning from mistakes.

My favorite educational game is Jupyter. It's not just for math and computation. It can be used for science too. Science has a peculiarity, that in order to really learn it, you have to experience how nature can prove you wrong. Building computerized experiments and measurements is one way to be exposed to this.

I believe that education is hard because it involves the brain, and we haven't figured out the brain. We'll be able to automate teaching when we can automate thinking. Meanwhile I think we can use software and automation to eliminate wasteful thinking, such as physical library searching and doing some kinds of mathematical manipulations by hand.
A digression is that what multiplying A and A^T really means, in the sense that A represents a map of spaces, but A^T represents a map in the opposite direction of the dual spaces. In finite dimension or in topological vector spaces, a space is isomorphic with its dual, but not naturalliy so. It is naturally isomorphic to the double dual! as in Mac Lane's CWM. So the multiplication is doable with an apparent excess good luck. On the other hand, in [1], linear adjoint operators bewteen two topological vector spaces are shown equivalent, up to an scalar, to adjoint functor pairs showing a Galois connection between the posetal categories being the lattice of subspaces of the original two spaces. This story should continue.

One of the primary causes of Anti-semitism is of theological origins: whether Jesus is the Christ. The author doesn't bring in this.

He says:"The ultimate hope for a genuine black-white dialogue in this country lies in the recognition that the driven European serf merely created another serf here, and created him on the basis of color. No one can deny that that Jew was a party to this, but it is senseless to assert that this was because of his Jewishness. One can be disappointed in the Jew if one is romantic enough--for not having learned from history; but if people did learn from history, history would be very different."

Scaling a stream is really easy using free and open source software if it's just broadcasting. rtmp backend, reverse proxy web server and hls. Done.

Scaling live interaction with really large numbers of participants is problematic both technically and socially. My research hasn't really yielded anything that can reliably scale beyond ~50 users using only free and open source software.

I understand what a sparse file is and so do many of the people in that thread. The important point is, do all the apps on the Mac understand that sparse files don’t take up all that space? Some clearly don’t, which means their developers either don’t or didn’t account for them. It’s not the fault of the users in that thread.
I thought the "novice" programmer remark was a pretty cringe-worthy comment.

The original reasons listed by Deno for removing TS had the undertones of "senior engineer who hates certain tech because they didn't use it right". Naturally, their response was to say "you probably don't understand cause you're a novice".
Well, it’s also true in many senses. You’re not going to get much of anywhere without recognizing that.

When I was in elementary school, my math class spent a good amount of time playing Roller Coaster Tycoon in small groups. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but I think we rotated who got to drive, while two or three other kids watched and gave advice.

While a lot of adults have fun pushing the boundaries of Roller Coaster Tycoon (e.g. designing roller coasters that smash into each other), we were very serious about it! The goal was to make a truly profitable park, and I remember having conversations about optimal ride and souvenir pricing, revenue per building, etc. (with our very limited vocabulary).

I think games need to be fun first and educational second to have any chance. We didn't realize we were learning while playing RCT, we were just excited by the challenge and the goal. The means to achieve the goal just happened to be loosely grounded in real world business practices.

Can anyone explain why Apple would be dropping Intel and doing ARM instead, instead of just, you know, doing their own thing? I find it hard to believe either that ARM is the (globally optimal) pinnacle of instruction set / CPU architecture possible, and that a $1tn company can afford to spin up its own CPU production line (competitor to Intel, a $250b company) but not its own CPU design department (competitor to ARM, bough by SoftBank for $30b) ?!?
