Interesting read, even that it is just opinion and little fact beyond the writer experience.

My personal opinion, in line with some ideas in the article, is that the school structure is the one that increases the possibility of abuse.

> Even more, bullies are usually aware that the system is likely to punish any victim who strikes back more harshly.

Humans accumulate angriness when things get out of our control and may react violently as a result.

I think that it is good to remove the violent response of the victim that reaches the too-much-bullshit level. But, something else needs to be put in place to replace it.

For adults that is law, police and judges. In the world of school there is no such civilized structure and it is a failure. Remove judges and laws and people will resort to vendettas and violent crimes more often as they lose all recourse.

One problem with many narratives is to believe that the "law of the jungle" is the stronger rules (Or even worse to define evolution as the nonsense "survival of the strongest"). When reality is that collaboration is they key for survival for any social animals including humans.

From a technical standpoint, I agree that good people can reach the bar of senior engineer very quickly - potentially right out of school.

However, there are aspects of a senior engineer role that are not commonly learned in school or by hacking on hobby projects. How do you effectively lead a project? How do you balance requirements? How do you say no to stakeholders? How do you balance time vs quality?

All engineers need to be good at the technical side of the job. But as you rise in seniority, the job includes more and more judgement calls. Those judgement calls require years of experience.
My wife works in a lab, has a masters in biology and I'm decently scientifically literate and we had a hard time being confident that we were reading the paper strip correctly by ourselves.

Is that a line or is it a smudge?

Well these online instructions are for a previous model, are they still valid?

So I very much agree with the sentiment I started writing a similar comment, but if you scroll down to the very last sentence (it's a bullet point) of the article it says that the author is not a senior engineer.

You may have color receptors that are not defective, but too close in activation spectra. If that's the case, then there's a workaround. Block out the light in the spectral overlap, and then the receptors will only activate on separate signals.

Duolingo works. It's proven with learners at scale. But I worry branching that out to classical subjects like bio and math just reinforce rote memorization.

Memory games never work for me outside the virtual world.

I think turn based strategy (think GBA Advance Wars) games have the best shot at improving young minds. Teach them how to plan ahead, in environments with complex branching factors and every thing else will work itself out.
It's a good start but still some way to "Senior". Keep up the good work.

Now, it is easy to start giving "tips", but I think nothing replace good old learning on your own mistakes. Thus, the only tip I can give is to be reflective and honest with yourself to be able to learn and grow.
Well, I started with a VIC20 and a tape drive -- but in terms of floppy disks, that wasn't until sometime after the C64 arrived.

My neighbour was a developer working in assembler, producing games for the TRS-80, and my first 'real' (as in monies being handed over) job was as a tape-copying, paper-folding, inserting-both-into-a-ziplock-bag monkey.

That doesn't show a lot for me (maybe because of my country?), just some "popular" playlists. There are a lot more audiobooks on spotify.
I haven't solved this when I thought about it a while back but my idea was to use some external source (like amazon) and then search for the book/author and see if I find an album with a total length that would match an audiobook.
It seems like this course is on the bleeding edge of high-quality education -- the use of Julia as the programming language of choice, Discord for communication, and most importantly 3Blue1Brown as an instructor. Good to see that innovation isn't dead in academia.
This is a great point, and I think it highlights the fact that there is no good software to push/pop/schedule short-term memory items, and organize them into a simple priority scheme.

I think part of the problem is that almost all software is designed to be usable without training/learning, so almost all task management tools get reduced to lists - which are inefficient.

We need a tool that retrains our brains to generate units of work that, aside from a line of descriptive text, also contain: NPV, value-over-time, hierarchical dependencies, resource allocation, location dependence, etc... ...and then have a simple piece of software prioritize based on calculated optimized order of action.

Retard-enabler massacre when?
The reason the GDPR and other privacy legislation was introduced is because of the widespread abuse of people's private data for commercial and political gain.

Attempting to address this isn't a waste of time or useless.

It makes no sense to blame the people trying to solve this problem, rather than those who created it in the first place.

If anything, the GDPR didn't go far enough. Though, that's often the case with legislation trying to stop corporate malfeasance.

In my opinion - and speaking more generally, not just regarding privacy - not enough large companies have been obliterated for their harmful behaviours. They just pay a fine, or bribe some officials, and move on.

What happen to HN "internet culture" that it falls for such obvious ploys without even calling it out?
We do have that framework, it's called supply and demand. Collectively, we buy what we need the most, at the best price. We sell what we can offer, at the best price. Value is determined in this way. Prices encompass not just currency, but also preferences.

Bureaucracies grow because people demand them to grow, it's just not that obvious. Something somewhere is always wrong and unjust, so people petition politicians for change. The tool of a politician is lawmaking, so more laws are created. Implementing a law requires a bureaucracy. A bureaucracy requires managers. Managers want to hire more subordinates, not less. Subordinates are paid by the hour and promoted according to plan, so there is no incentive to work faster. In effect, everyone involved is always busy with something and nobody appears lazy or irresponsible.

I would argue that the tax system of (in this example) Australia is exactly what the Australians asked for, the system that they deserve. They just don't know they asked for it.

> But hand generated content is always superior

It's very much not a binary choice between procedural vs handcrafted. Procedural content creation is truly great at some stuff, while the same is true for handcrafted creations. The real trick is to blend handcrafted and procedurally generated in such a way that both tools get maximal utilization in the domain they excel in.

Full flexbox spec for Threejs in React
There are many valid reasons for yonige(night run away) or johatsu(literally evaporation) in Japan, but there are pernicious side effects.

Loans and leases in Japan most often require a guarantor. If the primary loan holder disappears, the guarantor is stuck having to repay the loan or pay out the remainder of the lease agreement.

I personally know a family devastated when they found themselves on the hook paying out a loan for a close friend they had known from childhood while trying to build their own business.

I disagree.

You can make that statement in theory, for a general term without any biasing factors.

For a term like "open source", that has a generally strong positive connotation, using it to self-define when your own definition of it liberally includes yourself, while the popular definition does not, strongly implies your alternate definition is designed for self-benefit. This is definitely dishonest.

> As I recall, one of the factors in abandoning the idea for passenger planes

Another was the different forces on passengers depending on where you were seated. A regular airplane everyone is situated on the same plane (ha pun!) more or less. But on a V config anyone far from the center would experience greater forces when the aircraft moved.
Attempting to address this isn't a waste of time or useless.

It is if you fail.

It makes no sense to blame the people trying to solve this problem, rather than those who created it in the first place.

Now we have two problems: the original problem that GDPR failed to solve and GDPR useless warnings.
Analyses I've seen say this has a lot to do with expectations, but in a rather different way than you described.

To get things out-of-the-way: All the data I've seen suggests that couples in such countries DO actually appear to have stronger relationships and people in relationships DO appear to like each other more (at least a few years in).

General analysis:

US: Couples go into a relationship with the expectation of a Disney-style romance, with a soulmate, prince charming, and all that. Sometimes, that's even there up-front, but people change, and 10 or 20 years down the line, "soulmates" will usually be less compatible. At that point, people are hit with disappointment, conflict, and quite often, divorce. The expectation of potential divorce also gives less incentive to invest into the relationship too. That's especially true in times of crisis. If you're hit by a car, does your mate stick with you or move on? People need to hedge.

PI: Couples go into a relationship with the expectation of initially being different, but of needing to the work to make it work, since they're in it for life. They're not disappointed when reality doesn't look like Disney, and usually they work together to make things work out. Couples tend to grow together over time, rather than grow apart, which is a healthier dynamic. In crisis situations, couples can count on each other to have their backs, since if things go badly for your partner, they go badly for you and vice-versa. Plus, you'll be counting on them in 50 years, so if you're not there for them now...

Refs: Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari.

But there is a more general aspect that parents can objectively evaluate compatibility and quality of your partner in a way that you can't. Again, it's worth noting there's a scale here. Do you inform your parents? Get advice? Ask permission? They pick, with your permission? With your advice? Entirely arranged? It's a spectrum.
I was reading coding horror back in the 2000s when it was mentioned on that (Jeff Atwood's blog of Stack Overflow and Discourse fame, though he originally was known for his blog).

I think that triggered a large influx of new users right then so the community response was to post a ton of erlang articles to try and discourage new members and stave off an eternal september.

Seems like dang even got involved in that!

> Last time I read C++ performance report, all I could find was some old advice like "use list if you want insertion"™. They didn't mention difficulties in using realloc in vectors. They didn't mention inefficiencies in stl HashMap implementations due to iterator invalidation constraints. They didn't mention exceptions requiring dynamic storage and RTTI. Note that many of these problems are not yet fully solved with move constructors.

The TR18015 (Technical Report on C++ Performance) goes into details on most of the above (and much more) and it was written in 2006. The only thing missing is a discussion of hash_map as it wasn't part of the standard yet.
You've demonstrated that this is a significant issue, but to impose any restrictions on the user you should be trying to demonstrate that unreplaceable OEM batteries are significantly safer, you are proving the opposite! Your example is of a major OEM screwup does not help your case!

For decades batteries were replaceable, and now they are not. If it were true that OEM are more responsible with batteries, then we should have seen a massive decline in lithium battery caused fires. We seem to be observing the opposite?

Maybe rigid replaceable batteries, lile the ones found in cameras, are actually safer and better protected!

Secondly if this is a genuine safety solution, then it should deal with laptops, cameras, electric bikes, drones and other devices that have much larger batteries and which are user-replaceable, and where they have to be.

Thirdly, an unreplaceable battery turns a durable good into a throw-away device. Then it becomes e-waste and might kill more people through lead poisoning than it ever could from a minor fire.

Worms does have the full range of physics simulation, with ballistics, solid body physics, particle/fluid simulations (for stuff like the napalm weapons), gas simulation, wind, etc. It's just that it doesn't apply to the level environments.
We have changed the definition of "planet" multiple times so I'm sure we will redefine "moon" as well.

Pluto was recently demoted but this has happened before to Ceres and others.

By 1851, the number of "planets" had grown to 23 (the eight recognised today, plus fifteen between Mars and Jupiter), and it was clear that hundreds more would eventually be discovered. Astronomers began cataloguing them separately and began calling them "asteroids" instead of "planets"

Instead of lines why can’t the paper tests just be replaced to show “pregnant” or “not pregnant”. Even replacing the lines with a single character like “+” or “-“ would avoid the need to have tests in multiple languages.

Solves the problem of e-waste and eliminates any ambiguity relates to the interpretation of the results.

Almost seems like this is a case of intended over engineering for the sake of justifying a more expensive test. Or maybe, the “geniuses” at the top made it a mandatory requirement that the paper test cannot be modified in any way and must use a digital reader mechanism to interpret and output the results.
I've heard of a similar situation as well. It's a common saying here to never become somebody's hoshonin (guarantor), no matter who it is you're helping out.

It isn't just at a young age that kids need watching, and time isn't the only resource invested in children.

Think of the percentage of any modernizing economy that goes into things like food and clothing for children, education and educational materials, transport, energy consumption. The reduced output of parents who are tired from looking after or arguing with children. And this is for something that won't start putting value back into the economy for a good 18 years from initial investment.

Skip this, and instead of food and clothes for children adults can spend on housing, transport, take risks with starting businesses without the chance of hungry dependants, etc
This is just a core component of Amazon's business model which can best be characterized as "intentional oversight", where little effort is made against illegitimate users and scenarios if they bring in revenue for them. It has been true for a very long time in many different scenarios, including physical piracy and (via hearsay) lax credit card validation policies.
