I always burned at the slowest possible speed, with all of the error-checking if it was available, on the best media I could find. As a strategy, it largely paid off. More expensive, more time-consuming, less frustrating later.
English has a relatively idiosyncratic relationship between letters and sounds. Does phonics work even better in languages that have regularized spelling, so "sounding out" always works perfectly? I could imagine that a native speaker would find it easy to learn to read in such a language.

I'm not sure how your comment addresses the article, which spent some time explaining research that does tell us what is more and less effective in teaching reading.

> Surely there's more than one way you can get something out of a book.

Maybe so, but probably not for first graders, which is what this article addresses.
The return of an upwardly mobile middle class?

I do wonder if the collapse of middle class growth isn't thermodynamic. The countries that have enlarged their middle classes have done so by saying "fuck the environment, we're poor" and burning cheap coal with no scrubbers. It makes the air filthy and fuels climate change, but it is high energy return on energy invested (EROEI).
It's not a 'fake', it's a 'target' for practice drills.

Just like the cloth targets for anti-air gunnery practice, it is an affordable and disposable target.

Or would you expect a country to build a real, fully operational carrier to be destroyed just for target practice?
Indeed. Additionally, CAR-T therapy and vaccines are peeking over the horizon.
That doesn't follow, because people normally don't search for "male privilege" or "inequality" or "victimization" - even those people for whom these words are parts of their daily discourse. When was the last time you searched for "pointer"?

So, of course the graphs aren't going to match. Not to mention the graphs themselves are all over the place. (What insights are we supposed to get from the decreasing trend of "general motors"?)
If you're experienced enough to be able to tell (or have a trusted friend) then that's a good route. But if you're a beginner buying used then it's a lemon market and you can very easily get ripped off.

Right now the idea is you would treat policy files like source code. So any changes should go through CI/CD to be pushed out to production. Any dynamic data can be managed directly through the application, and easily referenced in the policy itself.
Indeed! That's why I regularly donate to the Internet Archive. :-)

Coronavirus Vaccine Data Raises Hope for Trio of Candidates
Not sure why you are being downvoted.

Later in the article, the author speaks to an estimate that 40% of children will learn to read despite how they are taught.

What is the point of bringing up economics when we are talking about life and death? How can you even measure if something is economic or not if you haven't defined what a human life is worth?
My daughter when learning to read used to just memorize what words looked like, which really frustrated me. So 'apply' is 'apple' because it looks like the memory word.

Anyhow, relevant part of my story, I taught her 100% with phonics post that point. In the above scenario, I might say 'wait there's a y there where did that go? sound it out slowly'. In no time she became a near perfect reader. I highly recommend the approach to anyone.
Apexuals and Toxic Masculine Conditioning
Toxic conditioning as it's applied to low status boys makes them into emotionally insecure men who are easily maniplulated. They're conditioned to be subordinate, and have low self esteem. High status men have different imperatives. They're conditioned to be dominant and exploitative.They feel that they're entitled to exploit women and other men. These are the Apexuals. They monopolize power and wealth. Toxic feminists insist that all men are toxic, and ignore the class differences, because they also are entitled.
Of all the niche languages out there I'd like to see break into the mainstream Ocaml is my favorite. It seems to hit a sweet spot between pragmatism and elegance.
I've also had awesome results with this book! My 5 year old seems to really enjoy the lessons. He's still working on building confidence with regular text (the early lessons in the book use a special orthography), but doing fantastically well for his age.
Oh God, here we go again.

Coding on a whiteboard in an interview is not "broken". What is "broken" however is making the problem the candidate needs to solve "hard". I can't stress this enough: a whiteboard coding test is nothing more than a negative filter. It's to filter out people who can't turn a simple idea into code as these people exist.

This is why FizzBuzz was such a simple problem.

But interviewers fall into the trap of thinking "this problem is too easy" and make it hard (eg figuring out a problem is g union-find on the spot and then implementing it) or, worse, they make it a crap shoot of whether you know the "trick" or not (eg reversing bits in O(log n) or the tortoise and the hare). This actually makes the test completely useless.

A negative filter is simply a filter whereby if you fail it, you almost certainly aren't a great hire but the reverse doesn't apply: there should be no A+ on a whiteboard coding test. It's straight pass/fail and an easy pass at that.

I realize some people have anxiety about doing this. Having helped or coached a bunch of people in the past about this, I can say that mock interviews and practice help the vast majority of these people. Some may be helped by doing this on a laptop in a shared doc instead, which is fine.

A few will struggle with the anxiety of that, even with coaching and practice. While I feel bad for those people, I do wonder if a reasonable-sized organization, which will generally require a certain level of communication skills and presentation ability, is the right place for you.

Apparently, I learned by watching a TV show with my family where contestants guess the letters of a hidden word.
It would increase the barrier to entry, reduce the pool of potential candidates, and increase the load on HR and hiring managers. Most candidates already have a job and may not want to start contracting for multiple companies in addition to their current job. This would also exclude candidates on a work visa like H1-B.
Why "probably not"?
Yes. Speakers of Russian, for example, find the concept of a "spelling bee" to be completely nonsensical--if you hear a word and can't spell it, you must just be completely illiterate, and vice-versa.

I have heard this is the case for Spanish as well, but I don't have personal experience in that case.
I don't believe there's any 'authorized credit advisor' license anywhere in the United States. A state-level Fiduciary license would probably be the closest thing.
Suggestions on the website itself:

- The case studies should have before/after analysis of what the design sprints actually achieved. Or at least have photos of your design sprints.

- The site looks cool and I like the animated paint thing... but since it's a design-focused org I think it should be much better designed. It has hierarchical and navigational issues — I didn't understand where the sections end and start on first view and the density of information is so sparse.
Twitch streamer MoonMoon has been playing this for a few days and I highly recommend watching the VODs. The videos are entertaining but the AI is extremely impressive. There were times when I was sure it was a mechanical turk on the backend because the replies were so good.

Cool your boots...

The claim was that there is a trade off - which is a pretty common sense assertion... The comment you to which you are responding even asserted that basic research does have value - and does not assert that the trade offs go one way or another.

The implication of the comment as I read it was that we should at least critically think about those trade offs rather than just writing a blank check to whatever basic science scientists are requesting to pursue.

Your comment, in contrast, claims that the tradeoff always is worth it - that 'whenever' money is not diverted to basic research, then we are all poorer. You have no evidence for this claim.

In fact - no one really understands much about how best to evaluate this tradeoff. A helpful contribution to the discourse would provide us with tools to think about how to evaluate it, rather than just the endless tribalistic drum beating for one side or the other.
I've not heard that before, who did they depict?
I really don't understand the idea that take home is somehow more fair or accurate than whiteboards. I've judged and taken both whiteboards and take homes. Take homes are more annoying for the candidate, and in my experience much more subjective from the interviewer. In my experience take home is the absolute worst way to pick a candidate.
And if you look at `CREDITS.md` in the top level of the project source, you can see that the author of this project considers that the "real work":

My wife taught my daughter with phonics when she was almost 4. The summer before kindergarten she was already reading chapter books for second graders. I agree that phonics is a good method.

Reading to the child is also a great strategy.
Heh. The first "product" I was ever technical lead on was a phonics based reading education "interactive CDROM" for children, a teaching course created by an educational psychologist as a reaction against the then-fashionable "holistic" method of teaching kids to read:

https://www.phonicsalive.com.au

We launched that in late 1995 scrambling to get it into shops for the xmas market and before schools closed for the year. We were significantly screwed over by changes in the multi track audio capabilities between Win3.3 and Windows95.

I'm inordinately proud that (at least some of them) are still for sale, and I break out into a huge smile every time I see a shelf full of them at a bricks and mortar retailer. Last time I checked (maybe 5 years back now) my name (and those of my team) were still printed around the edge of the CDROM.

(I'm also astounded it still works at all, and impressed by Microsoft's dedication to backwards compatibility. That was largely developed in MacOS9 and Windows 3.3 using Macromind (later Macromedia) Director. It stopped working on Mac back when Apple gave up on supporting running legacy MacOS9 apps and the owner/client didn't want to pay to upgrade for Mac. Now it's sold as "Windows only", but I'd bet pretty good money if you bought a copy and resurrected a MacOS9 machine, it'd still run just fine...)
>There is statistical data saying the opposite

Interesting study and really good discussion on HN at the time, but the opposite of "[Whiteboard interviews] often give a very good and reasonable signal that often has a high corollary to work performance" would be something like "People who do well at whiteboard interviews tend to be worse performers at work." I don't think that's what the study said at all; rather that people do worse at whiteboard problems when they're being watched vs. not being watched.
I'm always fascinated by the way these techno-anarchists are so drawn to symbols of the State, and State power. Cold War, nuclear artifacts seem a perennial favorite. And it's funny how every little collective seems to end up being a mini-State, with a little dictator on top. I don't have an empirical study to back this up, and am drawing this from this story, the story of Ross Ulbricht, and a little from my own personal experience.
I find that chest breathing increases my anxiety and whenever I am stressed I find myself breathing shallow breaths through the chest. As soon as I notice that I can slowly make it go away by breathing slower and deeper and just taking a short break from whatever I am doing.

At least they’re honest about it. Unless you’ve got some kind of contract in place (or live somewhere where this is prohibited by law) your current employer could fire you in 2 weeks if they didn’t like your performance, too. They could do it this afternoon even.

I'm not going to advocate for completely abandoning semver, and I do think that people abuse it or try to use it in places where it might not have been originally intended.

That said, personally, my most hated anti-pattern (outside of not properly tagging broken interface versions), is people refusing to tag a 1.0. In theory, this allows folks to continue breaking the interface without calling it a broken interface. In practice, these packages are already widely deployed and NOT tagging a major version completely invalidates the versioning mechanism all together.

The versioning scheme cannot do its job unless if you use all three fields. So release a damn 1.0.0 already! Your software will never be perfect. it's ok.
I don't disagree. You might see some of the issues with this candidate on what they choose to highlight as their career successes, I've definitely caught dishonest people, or people I wouldn't work with via soft questions.

But I'm not sure, I've never interviewed this person.

Are you implying that I've somehow missed evidence that creating some jobs will keep millions of people from becoming homeless in the coming week and my post was simply to be a wet blanket?

As I said repeatedly in my post this is a good idea and I applaud her efforts. My point was (I'm sorry that this isn't clear) that the required changes need to be at a much larger scale than individuals creating jobs (unless it's organized at a... much larger scale).

While I am absolutely delighted to watch people do what they can, and encourage it wholeheartedly, I'm not all-in on the whole "job creators" idea as a panacea. Infact, if a person chooses to do ONLY the "job creation" thing and declines trying to address systemic issues, I'd also in some cases view them as eating popcorn while they watch the world burn with the added activity of patting themselves on the back.

If you were offended by my post, I apologize.
Well put. The one time i expressed interest but reluctance at leaving my previous job, I was invited on a coffee and chat with a couple lead engineers to help decide. We got along well, talked about technical things, swapped stories about problems solved. Afterwards, i got the impression going through the technical interview would be more of a formality.

I think part of the problem is not everyone is good at giving interviews. But most software engineers can talk about their work once you get them going.

FWIW, I think white boarding interviews are pretty fun.
Are you an engineer? If you are, then do you realize how dumb you are by not sticking up for your own profession? Do you think FAANG pays engineers 200k because they're oh so nice companies? Or is it because talented people are hard to find?
Do you have more info on this? I’ve suffered from GERD for a long time now and have found ways to mitigate the effects but this seems like an interesting potential treatment.
> I'm prone to anxiety, and find myself hyperventilating often. Is this what you mean by "harmful breathing patterns"?

I meant "practicing breathing exercises incorrectly" (and I see now that's what I should've written in the first place, thanks for pointing that out). Upadesa Sara doesn't expand upon what it means to practice breathing exercises incorrectly or mention what the side effects are. Much of Upadesa Sara is concise so much is left up to the reader to reason or learn about.

After I read your comment, I spent too much time thinking about how I breath (whether thru the belly or chest) and started breathing weird haha. After a few hours, I figured out that I mostly breathe through the belly. I think. Anyways, genuinely happy to hear you found something that works for you.

But price targeting effectively increases information asymmetry. It would be a truly bizarre turn of events when the party on the wrong side of that asymmetry would benefit from making the asymmetry worse.

The price of a loaf of bread will probably just rise, for each individual, until everyone is reduced to different shades of poor, no matter how much they earn.

No if they had no problems performing on the job then no it's not an issue. Maybe they learned and this provided a good reset for them. Maybe they didn't and similar issues will crop up.

I put the anecdote up as a real-world example of one way the GGP's github reference can be faked.

like…graphics software?

I think the trade-off is more than worth it to better understand the nature of our universe.

You seem to imply that basic research has no long-term economic benefit, or maybe that the long-term benefit does not outweigh the short term cost. That seems like a pretty difficult implication to defend.
Take it easy - it is about time for a MasterCard rebranding :)
I mean this is fair but I don’t see much point in comparing Apple to a single commodity pc manufacturer, no disrespect intended (I love my xps 13). I suspect coffee shops and universities are simply full of the professional class I implied earlier, which makes sense to me.

Also, go to a community college and count the number of macs there. There’s a clear class bias here.

My child was learning to read this way while I was distracted by some serious medical issues. Eventually I noticed she was making up most of what she was supposed to be reading. When I confronted the teacher, she told me she wanted my child to feel confident about reading.

It took years to undo this damage.

I would argue the problem is it's not a one-time cost. You pay the cost almost every time you want to change jobs, because leetcode/algorithmic interview questions are so fundamentally different to what we actually do day-to-day as developers.

It is very easy to completely forget all about graph algorithms in, say, 3 - 5 years during which time you've been a productive, valuable member of a software development team that...you know...actually builds things customers care about.
I prefer the take home text. Less stress and I can really show what I know. Sure it's time consuming, but I always try to have fun with it. If I get a take home test, and it's writing some code, I know I have a shoe in the door.

I interviewed at one of these companies in the list. I'm nobody special, did the test, did the interviews which were more about doing the work and how it gets done and I how I think about it, and they made me a really good offer which I accepted.

My eldest taught himself to read relatively young and by 6-7 yo, he'd read the Harry Potter series through twice. He'd mispronounce words he'd learned (as happens from those who learn by reading) but could define and give context for anything I tested him with. When he started school, I think they were using a system called Jolly Phonics

His sister entered school two years after him and they've since changed to Read Write Inc Phonics. She's learning along with the class and take-home books. Hard to truly judge, but the system seems effective. She has confidence and then success sounding out increasingly difficult words.
