Honestly, this is not my area of expertise (I'm a software person), so I'm going to avoid speculating too much.

Standardized testing is indeed one way that we can demonstrate efficacy:

https://www.khanacademy.org/about/impact

That page also includes studies that talk about course pass rates.

I don't know if our efficacy work necessarily changes "mastery" definitions, but I can imagine (but have no direct involvement with) these studies and smaller-scale studies are used by our pedagogy and course creators to improve how we approach the material.

Again, though, not my area of expertise :)
Of course it makes protesting more difficult. The issue is that you have no affirmative right to a hotel room, not even under a cockamamie theory about what the “freedom to assemble” means.

It’s a start, you’re just seeing dissatisfaction at how “underserved community” is being tied to race in the context of 100mm of aid distribution. A much better indicator at least would be something approximating class or general financial opportunity. I’m totally into the idea Apple can spend their money how they want, it just bugs me no one wants to call their strategy racist.

I myself came from an underprivileged community (or at least one that was poor and not particularly mobile), and I can think of several friends growing up who were also into tech and programming like I was. None of them could afford college, and last time we talked they had just stopped pursuing tech altogether since it’s pretty hard to do without a degree. When I eventually lucked into working for a FAANG, most of the people I ended up working with came from all the good schools I never really had a chance of getting in either way, or at least largely weren’t white. There was probably still privilege specific to white males that helped along the way, but being lumped in with the billionaires and compared to a another set of large and similarly generalized non-white and/or non-male communities has always felt unjust and frustrating to me. I wish I could have ended up working with my childhood friends, maybe if they had this sort of attention things could have been different.

If your argument is that a speech isn't bad because "nothing happened, he most likely forgot about it" regardless of its content, intent and the authority of the person who made it, well, I'll leave it with you to think about what you just said.

The article mentions plenty of other examples, such as tweets from Chinese state-sponsored accounts spreading COVID hoaxes, accounts of other convicted extremists and many others. But I think the same argument applies to them as well probably.

That HN guideline's intent is to make the comments shorter by not asking a redundant question. Thanks for pointing it out, I shortened my comment exactly like the guideline said and removed the redundant question.

>Which is why you do use the VPN for gaming-related purposes such as a voice chat service, while when you visit Hacker News a VPN isn't necessary.

No you usually don't. Games and voice chat don't usually leak your IP to someone else. P2P in games is very rare, as is voice chat. Discord/Mumble/Teamspeak don't reveal your IP to a random user. Now if you join a Mumble/Teamspeak server, the admin can of course see your IP. But if you get ddosed right after you join such a server ... you know who is responsible.

>VPNs work adequately for this purpose. They work terrific to avoid civil lawsuits as well. What they're terrible for is avoiding law enforcement. But that isn't what we're discussing here.

If you don't use Docker, you can just leave the database server running in the background, which removes the startup latency (you can of course do this with Docker too, but Docker has a tendency to use quite a few resources when left running in the background, which a database server on it's own won't).

Splitting up Intel's fabrication and design businesses would it make similar to AMD, the stock which is up 45x since 2015.

Intel's fabrication business needs more volume, so it can increase R&D spending and capital expenditure, it can get this volume as a merchant fab.

Intel's design business doesn't need to be held back by Intel's fabrication delays. I imagine designers at Intel would prefer to compete with AMD on the same playing field--TSMC's latest node.

I talk about college admission because that's where discrimination seems to be legal.

> out of reach for racial minorities even if their child has has perfect grades since Kindergarden

As we know, when applying to college their race is actually an advantage, so why would they not be admitted, given their perfect grades?

I think there should be systems in place to help all disadvantaged people, regardless of race.

Since there are some black kids with wealthy parents, and many white kids with poor parents, it seems obvious that race is a very unfair basis, why not simply assist people that need assistance without looking at their skin colour?
I can't help but feel that there's a need to substantially broaden the idea of monopoly and anti-trust along with enforcements and incentives against it. It seems as if the need for employees or customers to combine power (earning or buying respectively) is inversely proportional to other available producers (eg. competition).

There is merit to both sides of this story. Businesspeople should be able to cultivate whatever sort of community they like, do business with whatever sort of people they like, and certainly - as a matter of conscience - shouldn't be required to support causes they find objectionable. On the other hand, people should be able to publish whatever opinions they like without being ejected from what is the de facto public square.

Determining appropriate limits for free speech is appropriately the job of high level legal philosophers, perhaps a statesman or two - it certainly seems above the paygrade of those who have simply competed as businessmen to create and build and maintain that public square.

When we faced this issue with the civil rights movement, we decided the citizens had the better claim than the businesses. This time around we seem to be leaning the other way.

I don't think the answer is obvious. I think it would take an ethereal genius to come up with an answer we all broadly considered fair and right, and all we seem to have is hacks playing for partisan advantage.
Just bought the book based off your recommendation, thanks a lot for that.

I was curious to read something along the lines of thinking the OP was musing on, but couldn't phrase it in a way that would help me find it. And neither did i suspect that it was an actual thing people wrote about, as opposed to just me having some random thoughts and wishing someone wrote about those. Reading the description of that book makes me believe that you absolutely nailed it with that recommendation.
As someone who came to erlang at least in part because i hated ruby (and also rails/phoenix like frameworks) i can partially sympathise. I would however put pipe operators clearly on the pro side of elixir and also add the string handling to that list (no pun intended).

I am ultimately really happy about Elixir giving BEAM some new popularity in otherwise unreachable audiences, even though i had really hoped for something more akin to erlang2 or similar to an erlangish coffeescript.

But in the end even joe approved of elixir and i don't remember significant effort on erlang2 after initial experiments.

But the problem seems not to be syntax but more culture. I see many ruby/rails people coming into the BEAM ecosystem who bring their poisonous way to think about systems with them, even when they understand the theory about functional programming and what BEAM is about, they seem to still fall back all the time, maybe partially because the syntax is too familiar.

If is see

defmodule TimelineLive do
use Phoenix.LiveView

i am already fighting a puking reflex, does elixir dictate to to build a framework like this? No, but the culture bleads over.

Funnily this is a similar effect to java culture poison-swapping into javascript after class and decorator syntax was added.
i couldn't disagree more. erlang is a great language let down by it's primitive and esoteric vm

i wish i could still write erlang but i've moved on to languages with much better implementations (go, rust, julia)

Americans are hired at-will, with barely any job protection, where as Europeans received far more protection and regulations governing paid time off, universal healthcare and so forth. You're not being paid as much as Americans in Europe but you're also treated far more humanely.

I'm an American who would gladly accept Swedish rates with Swedish benefits.

"In this case, the district court issued an emergency temporary restraining order at the plaintiffs’ request, worked at a breakneck pace to provide them an opportunity for broader relief, and was ready to enter an appealable order on the merits of their claims immediately after its expedited hearing on December 4, 2020. But the plaintiffs would not take the district court’s “yes” for an answer. They appealed instead. And, because they appealed , the evidentiary hearing has been stayed and the case considerably delayed. For our part, the law requires that we dismiss the appeal and return the case to the district court for further proceedings."

Summary: Prefer real world over social media.

The path to that conclusion: Very weak, at best.

I agree with you.
I shunned the JS world for a while after jumping on the Meteor bandwagon a few years ago and seeing it just fizzle out to a boat load of outdated and unsupported dependencies. Rails was just so much more productive and easy for solo work.

But recently I built a couple of services in typescript and the ecosystem seems to have stabilised a lot, my productivity was super high and I’m majorly impressed.

On the systems I can control, I do all work "disk-less". I strongly prefer it. I like to keep programs and data segregated. The basic setup on NetBSD is as follows, with endless variations possible therefrom. The kernel(s) and userland(s), along with bootloader(s), are on external media, like an SD card or USB stick, marked read-only. There's a RAM-disk in the kernel with a multi-call binary-based userland (custom-made using BusyBox or crunchgen). After boot, a full userland from external media or the network is mounted on tmpfs-based or mfs-based overlay and then we chroot into the full userland. From there, the work space is all tmpfs (RAM).^1 I can experiment to heart's content without jeopardising the ability to reboot into a clean slate. The "user experience" is also much faster than with disk-based. Any new "data" that is to be retained for future use across reboots is periodically saved to some USB or Ethernet connected storage media. I do not use "cloud" for personal data. Sorry. This forces me to think carefully about what needs to be saved and what is just temporary. It helps prevent the accumulation of cruft. The number one benefit of this for me though is that I can recover from a crash instantly and without an internet connection. No dependencies on any corporation.

This BeagleV looks like it would work well for me as it has Ethernet and USB ports.

1. With NetBSD, I can run out of memory with no major problems. With Linux, this has not been the case. I have to be more careful.

Ehrlichman died in 1999, but his five children in questioned the veracity of the account.

“We never saw or heard anything from our dad, John Ehrlichman, that was derogatory about any person of color,” wrote Peter Ehrlichman, Tom Ehrlichman, Jan Ehrlichman, Michael Ehrlichman and Jody E. Pineda in a statement provided to CNN.

“The 1994 alleged ‘quote’ we saw repeated in social media for the first time today does not square with what we know of our father. And collectively, that spans over 185 years of time with him,” the Ehrlichman family wrote. “We do not subscribe to the alleged racist point of view that this writer now implies 22 years following the so-called interview of John and 16 years following our father’s death, when dad can no longer respond. None of us have raised our kids that way, and that’s because we were not raised that way.”

Linux? It's as close to *ix as you can get without time traveling to ancient AT&T sites and beholding original Unix boxen. Good hardware exists, even if it takes more effort to learn how to source it. Penetration shows Linux is about the same minority Desktop OS as macOS is in general (even if statistics among Developers is sometimes lopsided).

Windows? Microsoft hate and distrust aside, they are a company founded for Developers, by Developers and in general the "Developers, Developers, Developers" mantra still resonates through the halls and they try to make life easy as they can for developers. (They publish debugging symbols of the entire OS just about, as a specifically referenced point elsewhere in this thread, which affected the specific complaints of the article. Even all of the "developer unfriendly" complaints about their more recent platforms/SDKs/toolkits have mostly been walked back or are still in the process of evolving.) Just as with Linux systems, plenty of good hardware exists even if it is harder to find. WSL1 and WSL2 provide a bunch of options for how "close to *ix" you want to get. It's hard to beat Windows on penetration, because it is still the majority OS for most of the mainstream world.

While EmberJS is a solid framework, I don't think it is a "rising star"
I've been pondering this for a while. I think you could have a JS-based editor that approaches or achieves what emacs offers, but I haven't encountered it. One useful thing about emacs and elisp is that lisp is one of the primary modes of interaction for users, whereas (IME) many JS-based editors seem to hide JavaScript from you to some extent.

Not in the sense that it's not there, or that there's a second language that the JS interprets. But when you open emacs without specifying a file to open you are dropped into a buffer called *scratch* which lets you directly execute elisp code. It really is a central part of the experience of using emacs. Similarly, your configuration file(s) are written in elisp, versus often a subset of JavaScript (perhaps JSON) used in JavaScript-based editors. And you're not just supplying configuration data, but extending the program.

And then there's completeness. While emacs has parts written in C, that portion really exists to enable elisp. Essentially every capability of the editor is directly reachable through lisp. The same doesn't seem (or at least feel) true of JavaScript-based editors I've tried. In those, it often feels more like the creators have selected a portion of the internals to expose to users, but it's more the minimal amount needed rather than the maximal amount possible that emacs strives for.

EDIT: I've finally figured out how to insert an asterisk around a word on HN without needing spaces. Is this documented anywhere? Just use double asterisks on either end like

I ran into another quirk with MAP_JIT recently, but going the other direction in time.

If you supported an older platform (High Sierra, which up until recently was... valid...), you would need to explicitly _not_ pass MAP_JIT into mmap there. It makes total sense once you find the bug, but it was also an easy one to overlook.

Tracking that down was kind of annoying.

I found myself in a similar situation sometime ago with MongoDB. In one project my unit tests started slowing me down too much to be productive. In another, I had so little data that running a server alongside it was a waste of resources. I invested a couple of weeks in developing a SQLite type of library[1] for Go that implemented the official Go drivers API with a small wrapper to select between the two. Up until now, it paid huge dividends in both projects ongoing simplicity and was totally worth the investment.
