>1) Financial rules are legal constructs - so not really suitable for academics. An academic syllabus might claim "Roth IRA implies X" then the law changes and it is no longer true.

And I would argue this artificial cultural limitation on "things must be abstract and timeless" to be academic-appropriate is the biggest reason common people don't learn. The lower the IQ the less able people are to handle the abstraction in the first place, and the higher the IQ the more the person has to have interest in abstract things even though they could understand it (attention span is greatly impacted - in my case - I never remember character names in a novel because I know they are just made up anyway - even if it is my favorite book)

If you can show people something that exists in the real world they can imagine themselves actually using the knowledge and actually pay attention

Try to teach a class about McDonald's profit margins per burger and Apple on an iPhone and then teach the exact same class talking about widgets. I promise you the former will lead to higher test scores because the visualization isn't forced.

I think that such problems requires humans to make a decision. There should be a vote mechanism / leader election / democratic process to give some people the power / admin role to solve these issues by manual intervention.
I think solar has the highest number of deaths/kWh produced among renewable energies, because of people falling from roofs installing them.

I have to say that I find the amount of effort that's put into silencing these particular weirdos scary - and it's also deeply hypocritical because conspiracy theorists are being shushed down for believing in imaginary and impossible to prove things, while say religious and supernatural folks are free to promote their ideas freely, although they share many of the same elements, and historically have caused much more hate and violence and terrorism.
But do people want this? Do they have choice?
Web is a solved issue in most programming languages and Common Lisp is not the exception here.

The situation with desktop apps is pretty good. You have two commercial solutions and the usual open source bindings to popular libraries to choose from. There's also McCLIM if you fancy doing some archeology. https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#gui

Concerning mobile, there is a LispWorks runtime, a subset of Common Lisp called mocl and there's also the option to use ECL. These need a bit of tinkering, as is usual for non platform languages.
I grew up in a family that had money problems.

That was the best education for me and my brother: we pay our bills on time, have no debt and no creditcard. The best schooling is life.
In the UK we had 'personal social development' classes during high school.

We could have at least spent some of that time learning about finance.

I'm also pretty sure a lot of my courses, could have been truncated to allow extra time for another class - I don't see why it has to be so binary.

Yeah, it's interesting considering that supposedly engineers are not significantly cheaper in Chinese tech hubs compared to the West.

The Western chipmakers are being disrupted with chips that are good enough, not realizing that cheap price creates a new quality, enabling devices not possible before.

Sure, the firmware and SDK had some of bugs and missing features to iron out, but they came a long way since the release and now are solid enough to put devices like Sonoff inside your electrical boxes and walls.
> Every dev is allowed to spin up their own service. Teams can self organize and self govern around business problems they feel like solving. The best teams are the ones that produce the services that product owners rely on the most to get things done.

I’m sorry but this sounds like a nightmare where you end up in Uber-esque situations where 80% of engineers are reinventing every wheel with 1,000+ “microservices”. Nothing wrong with a hierarchical organization where everything is run like a tight ship.
I bought some albums when I was using google for everything with the thought that I'm buying the equivalent of a physical CD but without the irritating extra physical item.

That's the eternal problem when you start with the status quo - a zero sum give and take - a battle betwixt pressure groups

There should be a top down revision of the curriculum every decade - you start by defining the final result - after 12 years of compulsory education what does every citizen and illegal need to know and to what exact degree? What is the minimum number of hours of instruction that can be used to achieve this? Then you realize you need 20 years of education to get to the desired final state. So you have to start thinking creatively: can these two topics be taught in the same lesson by integrating the knowledge into a larger coherent approach? Can the same math lesson that teaches percentages also advance a basic understanding of credit card interest? YES IT CAN.

Teachers, some of them, the ones that use the same lesson from their 1st year teaching 20 years on, are stuck in their ways and have unions to protect their inertia. The only way you can shake it up is to throw them out of their comfort zone by making top to bottom changes at intervals - sorry miss math teacher, you're not going to be able to use that goddamn lesson plan again this year - that's not how we roll in 2021.
Instead of adding more to the curriculum I think we should remove everything and let people learn what they're interested in.

People are illiterate on important topics (finance is a great example, politics another one) because they've been spoonfed everything they need in the short term, not realising how little they're actually learning in school.
That is not the argument, though. Your copyright is protected regardless of the strength of your security measures. But it is also, separately, illegal to circumvent these measures. This latter prohibition becomes more far-reaching and has more collateral damage the weaker the security measures it applies to, which is worrying.

Outlawing the methods of committing a crime also (instead of just the crime) requires a balancing act between their legitimate and illegitimate uses, which seems precariously absent when talking about technically laughable “security measures” that can be circumvented by pressing F12.

And the curriculum in my high school is still the same.

3hrs of Latin out of 27hrs per week for 3 years.

More than 10% of my high school was Latin.
This is the classic problem described in The Mythical Man-Month. Recruiting more programmers to accelerate shipping your dev version just makes it later.

edit: also it's not clear how accelerating Rust use (meaning rewrites) would help market share in the short or medium term. it seems more like a necessary investment for the long term survivability and has to be paced wisely, like it has so far.
Yeah that's not some kind of general rule. This is because the US legal system in particular lets this happen. And in fact, the US legal system works so badly that it often still benefits companies long after they've monopolized too much, causing all sorts of damage to consumers and other companies that actually did nothing wrong.

To add to what was said, the "X" button is hard to reach and doesn't seem to interrupt js anymore. I have trouble distinguishing private and non-private windows, saved logins got burried in the settings again, the tab list always scroll at the bottom where my old tabs are, etc.

Hydrogen can be generated by electrolysis from excess wind power, and fed into natural gas distribution networks. This is already happening. It is possible to add a significant part of hydrogen. The advantage of this that no completely new, expensive hydrogen infrastructure is needed, it can simply added as one of many necessary steps.

Until very recently ESP chips couldn't compete with Western chips you mentioned in various scenarios, and in some they're still out of the question. This is a gradual process though and Microchip & co. will try to keep the prices of their wiresless chips high as long as they can.
If you grow one tomato plant each year, eat the fruit and compost the rest - there’s a carbon cycle happening. Atmospheric CO2 is turned into sugars and carbohydrates via photosynthesis in the plant. Then the plant is eaten (the fruit by a human, the rest by bacteria, fungi, nematodes, etc. in your compost). The process of digestion/metabolisation is that the carbohydrates/sugars are broken down for energy and respired back into the air as carbon dioxide. Back to where we started

The net change to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is roughly zero per year if you start with no tomato plant and end with eaten tomatoes and compost*

If you want to sequester carbon then you have to (a) increase the biomass of plants year after year or (b) take plant matter (or animal matter) out of the carbon cycle for good. That means doing something like burying it or dropping it to the bottom of the ocean. Anywhere where there’s no oxygen (the O in CO2). That’s what happened to the gigatons of algae and plankton that turned into the oil we’ve had so much fun burning.

* I believe healthy soil does store more carbon than dead dirt so if your ongoing growing is improving the soil every year then you might be winning a bit.
In my ~15 year education in the UK I don't think I ever learned a single thing about how the UK government or the EU works. And I am sure I am not unique in this. I had to pick all that up from TV, articles etc. This might go some way to explaining the total political mess the UK is in now.

Sure it is interesting to learn about the Romans and the Vikings. But we could easily cut out 50% of that and replace it with learning about how the government works. Or maybe the people designing the curriculum would rather keep us in the dark?
time to move to gitlab.
C is only easy to learn if by "learn" you mean "getting something to compile". Learning it enough to write programs without malloc vulnerabilities is basically impossible.
Then I wonder if level of security a given anti-circumvention technology implements matters in the EU.

See, I strongly believe (and heard of such cases in the past) that where I live, if I "hacked" into a computer system which had administrator password set as "admin123" and the owner sued me, he would be laughed at at the court and I was let free. And I believe in the US I would be convicted for computer crime.

Isn't it the same here? If Youtube's anti-circumvention tech whatever it is that DMCA compliant refers to is so weak that source code how to circumvent it is in the wild for years and Youtube does nothing to address it, isn't it theirs fault? :shrug:

We're both IANALs, but it is interesting to put it into perspective that the same sentences that makes laws mean something totally different in practice on two sides of the globe due to cultural differences and/or origins of given laws.
<tin foil hat mode:on>

Schools are mainly about supplying cheap workforce for existing companies.

Learning things like starting your own company or managing money in a way that increases negotiation power of the workers, is a disadvantage for companies.

<tin foil hat mode:off>

Having financial knowledge is also not always a direct requirement to get the job at a company, so actually it doesn't provide a direct competitive advantage if you are in the job seeker pool.

These 2 factors create maybe the equilibrium of the current composition of the curriculum.
> pull everything to my PC and use pandas, to take advantage of its ability to build up results piece by piece.

Most difficulties in data processing arise from the need to process multiple tables. It is highly difficult in SQL but it can be also difficult in pandas especially for complex analytical queries. Indeed, in pandas you still have to use the same join and groupby operations as in SQL.

An alternative to SQL, join-groupby, and map-reduce is developed in the Prosto library:

- https://github.com/prostodata/prosto Functions matter! No join-groupby, No map-reduce.

It is a layer over pandas and its main distinguishing feature is that it relies on functions and function operations for data processing as opposed to using only sets and set operations in SQL and other set-oriented approaches
Unlike most people here, I liked this post, both for OP's ability to put his learnings into words (something I've learned I'm awful at) and the learnings in general. A lot of people are harping on the internal podcast/ learning about how your boss thinks, but I think that's actually good advice. Even in places with remarkably flat hierarchies, at the end of the day someone will have to settle ties, and knowing how those people think is a good practice to end unproductive discussions quickly. Besides, this isn't any different from having a director with creative vision at the helm of your project: you need to meet that person's vision, because that is really what matters. The podcast actually sounds great to me, because I'd prefer a slightly cringe-y "how do you do, fellow kids?" podcast over having zero or insufficient communication from leadership. It's not like people make decisions for no reason, and knowing how they think can help you appreciate what went into one without having a knee-jerk reaction.

I think kids might go too deep on some subjects in late high school. My kids are only in primary school now, but I have been looking ahead at year 10 text books and wow, there really is a lot of stuff in there you would only need once you start specializing in a particular field.

I wonder if at some point we need to pivot to teaching that the knowledge is out there, and when you might need it, rather than exactly how to do "complex thing x".

You could take your internet connected computer into an exam, be given some problem that is unique to your test, and you research, learn, and calculate the solution on the fly. That's kind of what I do all day at work.
There is no windfall in poverty. In general, folks with money are able to have things like comfortable shoes, entertainment, and not worry about their electricity being turned off if they have a flat tire.

Every "windfall" takes care of a need, makes you more secure with things like food and shelter, or gives you some mental relief by providing a few moments of entertainment. There is no saving for those other things if you have been walking to work because you can't afford to fix the flat tire or if you've been in pain due to poor shoes.

There is no advice on how to afford things if you only have $5 extra at the end of the month and definitely no advice on how to afford life if you simply don't earn enough. "Saving a windfall" is pointless if you have a hospital bill that is threatening to sue and deduct the money from your paycheck.

I am not sure you really understand poverty.
And social media in the past decade has enabled lateral communication channels to mobilise the crazy mobs. Now you don't need to convince the journalists to get your drivel through out. You don't even have to be in the same country at all.
This looks amazing. I'm so grateful for these alternatives popping up.

All we need is to have it be interoperable with something like http://CoBox.cloud (a distributed, encrypted, offline-enabled data hosting cloud platform) and we can set up our own fully encrypted, NSA-impenetrable/surveillance-less cooperative community servers/'cloud'.

In other words, we would benefit from the same economies of scale and low maintance costs that the existing FAANG server farms benefit from, without the invasive privacy transgressions from big corps.
Now you are just confirming that you need to understand promises to use async.

Maybe, or maybe the FBI were just incompetent in this particular case and at that time didn't consider it prosecutable.

>Edmondson told the Times Union the FBI agent found the brandings disturbing, but said he did not see anything illegal about it — and said it “seemed like it was consensual.”

One could argue that Scientology similarly blackmails its members and compels them to make humiliating acts of submission and servitude, but one could also argue that it's consensual and not necessarily illegal. That was probably something like the FBI agent's thought process.

McCLIM is not a domain of archaeology anymore; it has been seeing lots of development recently[0].

As for demonstrating it, two of the recent Online Lisp Meeting[1] videos utilize McCLIM: one of them describes Clouseau, an inspector application written in McCLIM[2] (running on the Mezzano OS as well[3], since McCLIM runs there too!) and the other utilizes McCLIM to visualize the functioning of Eclector, a portable and conforming implementation of the Common Lisp reader[4].

Yeah if you get realistic about it, courts in the USA simply see it the way of the party with the most money all the time. You can interpret laws until you're blue in the face, but they get to break the rules.

Clearly whenever we discuss laws in the USA as they pertain to a small party versus a giant corporation, we do so in the context of a hypothetical fantasy where these laws are actually followed equally.

It's like everybody's playing hide 'n seek, and you're like "of course a real SWAT team would surround and find you in moments".
Many good and well-designed languages are older than PHP (Scheme is from 1975!), so that cannot be the cause of PHP's poor design.
