>- Kids should be made aware of the psychological help they can receive if they have personal issues. We had a psychologist at school, but I don't think anyone consulted them.

I used them, they were great for scoring high quality drugs. All I needed to do was memorize a list of symptoms, regurgitate them and get referred to a specialist and do the same again.

Which is why as an adult I find the whole area of psychiatry to be bunk. And that's supposedly the harder of the psychological sciences. If you can't deal with false positives you have no place in medicine.

If I came in to a doctors office and demanded they reattach my missing leg, while clearly having two legs I'd be met (rightly) with skepticism, somehow when it comes to the mind it doesn't work that way. Surely someone would have figured out a way to measure the missing serotonin by now?
So companies making claims that cannot hold up to scrutiny is the basis for technological advancement, is that your argument? I ask because what you are doing is criticise the scholars desire for a Musk owned company to have their claims fact checked...
Most kids only do homework because they'll be punished if they don't. That's not intrinsic motivation.
When introducing Web APIs for general use, I think it's a bad idea to show the example code using react and it's useEffect. Makes the examples less standalone, and harder for some to grok.
I tried to find a source for these concerns. Although I can find documentation on DDC (until 1998) and EDDC (since 1999), and indeed read that these often use EEPROM, I cannot find any reference of someone who broke his monitor by changing the brightness too often.
This utility is very useful combined with the adaptive brightness of my iMac so I am tempted to use it. But I would appreciate any supporting evidence of this concern.
We really need to see what teachers assessments in previous years look like. Are they consistently optimistic?
Many compilers target C, that seems like a decent approach - any problem with that?

Yes. But in principle, tech could be advanced enough that it doesn't require so much manual effort. Like, if someone takes the time an works long hours on modeling a worn book with all its wrinkles and curls and crookedness, you can probably ray trace it realistically. But you could also say that artists can digitally paint a whole scene without any 3d engine or rendering tech.

The point is, currently it only works for simple scenes and needs tons of manual work otherwise. Reality is realistic effortlessly.
Homework has the extrinsic motivation of getting detention when it's not finished.
> Which can be explained by teachers assessments being too optimistic

This can also be explained by teachers assessments being an accurate representation of students ability, but students traditionally not faring as well in exams as their ability would suggest due to exam taking being an additional unrelated skill.

fwiw though, you only need to look at some of the outliers to see that the algorithm failed. It's all very well to say that it produced a consistent result in general, but each result specifically applies to an individual person so needs to be fair to each person as well as in general.
At this point we might as well admit that schools are daycare for teens. And universities are daycare for adolescents. So lets cut the bullshit and focus on what matters, keeping kids occupied and keeping them from killing themselves.

I suggest medically induced commas for 8 hours a day. It's quite a safe technology with minimal long term negative effects.

In pricing solar installations, it was obvious that prices rose as vendors attempted to capture virtually all of federal and state subsidies.
The system has been broken for long, but never so broken that it actually demands a top to bottom reform.

Besides, those who suffer with it the most either don't vote or have little political relevance or maturity to make a stand. And parents are not good mediators, since they tend to focus on the outcomes, not the day to day life of the student.

That's how you reach the unfortunate situation we have today.
Thanks, I was not aware of these apis. I would really love to know more how the image/video capture works.
Some US tech journalists and publications certainly ruined quite a few people. Strangely they often call themselves progressives, turn their heads and try to impose random morals or typical US sensibilities. Some seem to really believe it, some are just dicks optimizing for engagement.

I don't even know why they are still that relevant, because engagement in tech is driven through different channels nowadays.

Having worked with engineers and software managers in the UK Government, it doesn't surprise me that this was such a fuckup.

The solution would have been not to completely close schools in the first place - there was no evidence that children were particularly susceptible to COVID or at risk then, and there's lots of evidence now that they aren't. Exams could well have taken place as normal - exam halls are, by definition, socially distanced.
You don't have to look far, now the government has caved we can see the grade inflation, particularly from state schools.
I’d put the number quite a bit lower than that, probably comfortably under 10% of sites I interact with, though the trend is definitely upwards, drastically so among interactive things (which are probably worse than 50% broken these days).
Schools start this early so parents can get their kids to school and still go to work in time. You could start school at 9AM for kids old enough to do that themselves, but it's not gonna work for families with younger kids.

As for psychological help, maybe those who consulted them just didn't talk about it?

Absolutely agree on your last point though.
See very first comment here, the “join” button certainly isn’t “a better deal” for creators, you need a much larger user base to get good revenue.

Not to mention… patreon isn’t limited to youtubers? Webcomics or serials authors can be on patreon, what would they do on YouTube? Likewise podcasts, the average podcast listener has no reason or incentive to go sub to a YouTube channel.

Getting 7200 rpm drives when expecting 5400 rpm drives may result in increased power consumtion and heat issues.
Pluse 7200 rpm drives are noticably more noisy than 5400 rpm drives.

Many EMAZ and EZAZ seems to be affected.

It seems that the iOS app Phyphox can be used to determine if your drive is running at 7200 rpm or 5400 rpm using acoustic analysis.

From the comments:

> "There is an app called phyphox that allows you to access all of your phone's sensors. If you download it and use the Acceleration spectrum feature, you can measure the speed of your drive by simply placing your phone on top of the drive. The application is surprisingly accurate and I use it to check the health of my drives."

Ofc it does.

During the NATO bombing of Serbia 20+ years ago, for us, teens, life was never better - no school, no work, parents worrying about basic stuff (i.e. not us) - just plenty of outside socializing and random activity. Everybody remembers that as good old times :)

I can imagine the same to be true now, not to that extent.
Here is another good collection of free public APIs

Whatever algorithm used though the truth is that qualifications achieved this year are not directly comparable to qualifications achieved in other years due to the lack of exams.

While nobody's fault, imho we'd have been much served by admitting that they're not comparable and doing something else (e.g. add an extra qualifier to the grade or something) than by trying to make them comparable and obviously and predictably failing at it.
Obtaining Corporate Credentials via the Autodiscover Circus
If anything homework let me practice my excuses and lying. Teachers and parents alike provide plenty of extrinsic motivation for doing even the most pointless of homework. If I hadn't found a passion in programming I likely wouldn't have developed any intrinsic motivation whatsoever, and that's a real problem.
NVIDIA, can you please make my GTX 1070 not to tear a screen when I'm scrolling a web-page in a browser in GNU/Linux?
Yeah, Germany just ran their exams. Too important.
A lot of these don't work in any browser other than Chrome. Demos that work in Firefox:

- Fullscreen

- Image capture

- Resize observer

- Broadcast Channel

Demos that don't:

- Clipboard API (not supported)

- Battery API (not supported)

- Performance information (says it's supported, but shows an empty page)

- Vibration API (supported by the browser, but doesn't actually vibrate because malvertisers abuse the API in their antivirus scams)

- Bluetooth API (not supported)

The fullscreen, image capture and broadcast channel APIs are nice I suppose, but the rest should probably be considered "Chrome APIs" rather than "web APIs".

Edit: even in Chrome on Android, the battery API is reporting fake information and the vibration demo doesn't work. That's the problem with experimental web APIs, you can't rely on them at all.

It looks to me like Ireland was planning on using literally the exact same process, but after it caused such a political problem for the UK government they announced that data on how schools had previously performed wouldn't be used in the standardisation process: https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/education/state_examin... (Notice how the linked explaination document from May 2020 says this would be the basis for the calculated results.) How that's meant to work I'm not sure. The results aren't out yet.
So who do you vote for if you want to ensure fair living wages for all? How do you align that particular interest with all the other interests you have?

What if you're an MAGA supporter, against tax cuts for the rich, in support of equal treatment of all ethnicities and religions, believe in additional rights and protections for police, pro life, pro gun-control, pro living wages and universal healthcare.

What is your democratic duty? Who do you vote for? Which candidate enables you to vote for everything that matters to you?

Every issue cannot simply be distilled down to which candidate you voted for. Especially if the issues you care about are unlikely to be handled properly by either candidate, if only because the executive branch doesn't wield unlimited power (thankfully), and the branches of government are no longer demonstrating any willingness to work together (unfortunately).

The issue remains systemic, and instead of targeting the individuals "for ignoring [their] democratic duties", the system itself would benefit from meaningful changes.
The state monopoly on schooling needs to be abolished. Parents must be able to give the amount of money a current state school costs to a private school of their own choice. This will enable competition and choice. As it currently stands, only wealthy people can send their children to a private school, but this is completely artificial.

> fwiw though, you only need to look at some of the outliers to see that the algorithm failed.

I'm not arguing it's perfect, I'm just saying what we have now is worse in the aggregate. If you inflate so many grades then the grades become meaningless. You have devalued the work of the high achieving students.
The author lists a number of languages considered stable, C being one of them because of widespread support and portability. Java isn't portable for example because it depends on the JVM (and I know GraalVM is a thing but will you still be able to use it in ten years?).
That forceinline definition is just tip of the iceberg. It's so hard to define in a way that works with different versions of GCC, -Werror, instrumentation, MSVC, and profiling. If you care about portability, consider just not caring and using static. Too much special casing code can actually make it harder for people in weird environments to use your code, since something is going to break it, and reading past the ifdef soup becomes the biggest obstacle.
The children might not be at risk themselves but their parents/grandparents are, and kids do spread the virus.
> China has always acted to eliminate other languages in the country to the point where Cantonese and other languages aren’t spoken anymore in the mainland.

Not really. Cantonese and other languages not part of the fifty-odd official standard languages of China aren't taught in most schools, but that doesn't mean Mandarin has completely taken over. With the exception of big cities that have seen a lot of recent migration (e.g. the number of Shanghainese speakers has grown with the Chinese population boom, but the number of migrants has grown even more, so now it's a minority language in Shanghai itself) if you listen to a random conversation between locals, you'll be more likely to hear a non-Mandarin language than Mandarin.

It's also not that non-Mandarin languages are completely excluded from official use, they're just called "dialects" instead of languages. For example, schools in Xiamen started teaching the local Hokkien in 2010 (a few years after a similar policy change in Taiwan) and most small TV stations have programs in the local language (especially traditional plays and songs).
Do you mean subsidized in the sense of student loans backed by the government?

I'm currently "betting" on Go for making a back-end (just a REST API + sqlite database) that will last a decade; I'm betting on the tooling to stay backwards compatible or with minimal changes in the codebase; I'm betting on the readability of my own code for the next decade, and I'm betting on the language + tools to continue to be developed whilst sticking to their original goals.

I think the "risk" is dramatically overstated.

Patreon is facing the possibility of going through the arbitration process with 72 people, who are seeking it on the basis that by banning a creator, Patreon is interfering with a business relationship between viewer and creator.

The theory that Patreon will go bankrupt is based on the assumption that these 72 instances of arbitration will go through and the costs of arbitration will be enough to bankrupt the company.

8:50/9am start is quite typical on the UK, from primary on. It seems to work.
Not closing schools was the government's preferred option for exactly the reason you point out. Unfortunately, the teachers' unions had different views on the matter and it's rather difficult to keep schools open without teachers, especially when they can easily just carry out a mass sick-out. Exam halls are probably a bit of a transmission risk though since they involve a bunch of people who wouldn't normally mix sitting in the same room sharing the same air for a few hours.
Of course. But you can't fix that by testing, only improve how to cope :)

I nearly always read the comments first and in most cases don't read the article. I don't up-vote often, but I'll occasionally up-vote an item which appears to be developing an interesting discussion.

There's also a lot of cases where the article could be an arbitrary choice for an explosive news item. I view HN as more of a forum by news topics than an aggregator of news links.

An article which suggests that HN gets fooled by AI doesn't know how HN works. Though most media articles seem to misunderstand technical topics in general.
