A young missionary travels to Senegal to teach God's way to a local tribe.

Upon reaching the village, he is not well received by the inhabitants, but he slowly and steadily create contact.
After many years he's finally accepted by the people and goes along well with everyone, until one day the chief's daughter gives birth to a white child.

Infuriated but not ungrateful for what the missionary has done for the village, he gives him one chance to explain himself in private.

The young man, who is innocent, tells him "I have nothing to do with it, it is just a hazard of the genetics. It's the same as with sheeps, most of them are white but sometimes a black one is born for no reason".

The chief steps back a little, gives a frightened look to the missionary, then whispers : "Ok, I won't say a word about my daugther, but don't you tell anyone about the sheep"
Nicely put. I’d stress the importance of the (allegedly, I’m yet to try it myself) faster payoff from the copy technique. You have to start somewhere, and without basic practice of visual perception/fine motor skill coordination the insurmountable upfront investment of drawing uninteresting objects from different angles over and over again looks like a great way to kill own motivation and declare yourself lacking some inborn talent.

In my view, the only valid critique of the copy method (or any other way of learning) could be if it doesn’t work, otherwise I see no reason to declare that method of learning as unequivocally “bad” except to heighten the barrier to entry.
There’s indeed something terribly wrong with the way they explain/teach electricity, to the point that I sometimes suspect that whoever is doing it are themselves confused, whether they realize it or not. In particular, I am yet to find a lucid and intuitive explanation of why we need both E and D for the electric field and B and H for the magnetic field. (And no, talking about them being “differential forms” of various kinds is not helpful in most cases.) Also, the multitude of systems of units does not help learning, either.
Is it so hard to add a single source file to your build system?

If yes, then you can do #include “sds.c“ in some random source file. In fact, that's what so-called header-only libraries in C implicitly do. shudder
Power (watts) and voltage (volts) are not the same thing.

The water analogy is most useful at this level (despite being wrong in most respects, it instils a basic working understanding good enough for the householder).

Think of a waterfall. Wait, think of two: a very high one with just a thin stream of water, and a low one, maybe a foot high with a torrent of water flowing over it (a weir).

Voltage is the height of the waterfall: a stream of water at the bottom of a very high waterfall will feel more painful than a stream from a much lower one.*

Current is analogous to the amount of water flowing over the waterfall - the river's current.

Multiplying voltage by current, you get power: the ability of the waterfall to do useful work.

(A very high waterfall with hardly any water flowing over it won't be able to turn a water wheel very quickly, and nor will a very low waterfall with a lot of water flowing over it. You need both voltage and current to do useful work.)

Re the movement of electrons: in fact they move very slowly on average under the influence of an electric field, but by their "bouncing against" their neighbours, the electric impulse
is transmitted quickly through the conductor.

* An alternative analogue for voltage is water pressure, and indeed in some languages voltage is referred to as pressure.
Interreligious marriage is a very tiny fraction of indian marriages, and actually works in both directions. This concern is a recently invented bogey man that has no basis in reality. The real demographic challenge for India is the backward northern states reproducing at a rate higher than the progressive southern states. However, there is absolutely no media focus on this issue. It is hilarious to watch north Indian hindus bully some Muslim from kerala (pakistani, child producing machines, Somali etc), when north Indian Hindus have a much higher fertility than them.

Attar is a fragrance, that several Hindus also use. Maybe you should check if the person applying it is hindu or Muslim before generalizing .

The so called super spreader event was organized before the lockdown, at about the same time as modi Trump rally involving more than 100K people. Instead of locking down the mosque, the administration forced everyone out of the mosque to help spread covid outside the mosque all over India! The media is absolutely silent about various hindu temple superspreader events being held such as the khumbu mela. Nobody is clutching their pearls.

The land owning muslims moved to Pakistan and the Indian muslims primarily occupy a lower socio economic class. The so called appeasement that one hears about all the time is never actually spelt out in clear detail. It is taken as an article of faith. Congress appeasement of Hindus, such as in the case of ram mandir or hindu joint family tax exemptions are conveniently ignored.

Yes indeed, Modi is a smarter version of Trump.
I think she has the advantage of having a sense of humor, more than anything else. You're making it sound like 1983 is some deep antiquity with an alien culture and long-dead language.
The study shows that comments that are "indicative of 2 parents and involvement in the PTA" correlate with high test scores. BUT these are NOT the schools that I should send my kids to?

Why?
That class was for guys with 3rd-5th grade level test scores. Most were forced to attend school and didn't really try to progress. I don't know the exact progression rates, but they were quite pitiful. You'd see a guy who last tested at 4.0 grade level take the next EA test and score 3.4. I suspect that quite a few had some degree of brain damage whether from drugs or violence, and covered up an inability to learn with a front of not caring. I helped one older guy for months, and he would constantly forget things that he previously had down no problem. It seemed like he would forget as much as he had learned. The higher-level classes had more students who were actually trying to graduate.

I later took college classes, and that was a different story. One teacher said that his prison students were much better than his free-world students, as they generally weren't partying all weekend etc. and were motivated to be in school.

For us it's our goats who share a space with us. It'd be unmanageable without a leaf blower.

Ours is electric, Ryobi ONE+, which shares batteries with 7 regular tools we use (And another 5 that gather dust)

If you want to make the world a better place, how about we stop rewarding university press releases of this weeks new BS battery tech, and work on getting handyman batteries down in price (they are exorbitant) and cross compatibility wouldn't hurt.

Or like Dyson (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/06/dyson-sil...) get someone working on a quieter leaf blower.

Picking on people because they have a different life is boring, some people like to travel, some people smash alcohol to 5am and some people like a nice garden that's prim and proper. And those can be all the same person at different points of life. People are literally making up pollution figures here for this and jumping on just so stories as if they explain everything, people have to stop joining these group hate subcultures, that's what we have sports for.
It’s looking good! One really common usecase Id suggest emphasizing (it looks supported) is the systray UI. I’ve had a lot of cases where my program is mostly just a background nodejs service and the simple task of adding a dock UI required electron. A great thing to have solved!

It's easy to get an entry level job as a programmer that pays very well, and you will be taught how to be an experienced programmer on the job.

Once you are an experienced programmer in a software company, you are earning a lot, and moving out of the software industry, where the prima-donna employees are physicists or engineers, you generally take a pay cut. A fusion company isn't going to hire an entry level programmer who hasn't proven himself.

So, to answer the question more explicitly, you need to be willing to follow your interests and not maximize the bottom line. This is my 28th year as a software engineer, and I've seen this pattern countless times. I've done the follow my interests, and also follow the money jobs, and prefer the respective good aspect of each approach over the other.
And 60-70 years ago there was no such thing as protected groups. Businesses could and did deny service to anyone for any reason. Collectively, we as a society looked at that situation and said "Hey this isn't great that businesses can deny service to whole groups of people based on their religion or skin color, we shouldn't let them do that", and we stopped letting them do that.

Similarly, today we can look at what's happening and say "Hey this isn't great that businesses are allowed to restrict our speech and narrow down the realm of ideas to the least common denominator. It is destructive to the public discourse that a small group of people can claim outrage and shut down whoever they want", so we can decide not to let businesses do that, just like we decided not to let them refuse service to protected groups.
As a US person looking abroad, there seems to be a huge difference in the effort required to present as a business. UK doesn't seem quite as bad as say France, but there's a shortage of stories about how a person or small group was working for company A and was fed up with how their ideas were ignored and left to start their own company which thrived.

Maybe people aren't having their ideas ignored in Europe. Maybe they're afraid to leave because there are inadequate social safety nets (wait). Maybe European ideas suck? Maybe it's too hard to start a business so lots of people don't; or they have an easier time leaving the country and starting a business in the US (which we'll call American success, even if it's founded and built by immigrants).

Anyway, if that path was more feasible, businesses would need to pay more to encourage people to stay instead of going alone.
Someone should hold the regulator accountable for letting this happen. Oh wait, regulators are superfluous and need to be eliminated in favour of the free market.
Are you French ? We learn at school of all the unforgiveable sins we all committed, that the resistance was not the majority, how the police was the instrument of Germany, how we as a people used the invaders to settle our different (how many many people sent letters of false denunciation to the police), how De Gaulle's white lie ("we won the war") was what restored our sanity to rebuild, trying to forget quickly and move on.

We also explain the rationale followed by Petain and the context of it (he sacrificed our honor for the sake of mere survival, in his elder mind) and how this opened the door to enforcement militia ideologically in line with the Nazis, who are the ancestors of what is now LePen's party.

Maybe not at 7, but by 18 if you listened in class, you got a pretty clear picture of the darkest aspect of it.

And it's not just during WWII we behaved in shameful ways, it started with the country. I challenge you to find someone who paid attention in school and still glorify the revolution or Napoleon, or the Commune, or colonialism.
Yet in the mean time we see this: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/05/07/12/28112238-8296195-...

Nearly 50% of students in junior high schools will not be able to enter high schools in China. They will enter vocational high schools, in a way similar to those in Germany. And what do Chinese do? They do this: https://images.app.goo.gl/pKvyBtNtBgMhMK1T9 In the picture Chinese parents send their kids to math tutoring classes, and they stayed in the back of the classroom to study too, so they can help their kids after class.

Yeah, laugh all you want, believing that training 5 hours a day for whatever bullshit sports is superior to doing algebra a couple of hours a day. But this is how some millions of kids fight to get into college and change their life, despite limited resource and all the struggles in their life. And the government? They make sure teachers can be fired. They make sure teacher's work can be measured. They make sure teachers will have a career ladder. They make sure teachers can have decent income especially pension.

And states in the US (K12 education is the responsibility of individual states)? I'm sure they do a better job at K12 education. The US, after all, is a developed country, right?

What's wrong with using the outlets on the sides of houses?
I imagine it’s a fantastic skill, but I also believe I’m not alone in foreseeing such a massive grind to get there from scratch that I write myself off in advance, not having the persistence and intrinsic motivation as an adult—considering even as a child I failed at it (it worked with music but not visual art; I blame the differences in how those were taught to me).

On the other hand, presuming I had some basic ability going (which is what the copy method appears to promise), having proven to myself I can draw at all, I can see myself advancing to this skill eventually.
Isn't that a bit like saying that people who want small web pages wouldn't want to use hugo, as it's a 60 megabyte binary?
This is the answer to a very different question.
They would presumably do the same thing at the next area, as they move on, so you’d have multiple patches where this occurred, presumably with an offset-but-similar lifecycle at each location, as they rotated between viable lands

Hydra feels mature. I think it's their longest-developed product so far. Besides breaking changes during big upgrades(v0 -> v1beta -> v1), everything has been painless:

- It runs anywhere with or without containers

- API makes sense, good SDKs are available in all my used languages

- RAM usage is surprisingly low compared to usage and has been great for resource-constrained environments

- Stateless means horizontal scaling is as easy as `replicas++`

- Sub-millisecond response times for some calls, much faster than our previous setup

With Hydra, I know it's the client's fault when OAuth calls fail and not just a buggy server implementation. This is reinforced in dev mode with great errors like:

- The authorization code has already been used

- The request is missing the response_type parameter

- Parameter "nonce" must be set when using the implicit flow

- Redirect URL "https://example.com/callback" does not match

On the flipside, Oathkeeper is not a mature product and has not yet reached v1. There are breaking changes planned [1]. It lacks support for at least one popular usecase (mine) out of the box [2]. Rules can be hard to create and debug. I wouldn't recommend Oathkeeper in its current state unless you're ready to dive in and fix things yourself. Once configured it sticks with the Ory trend: fast, lean, and stable.

Depending on your usecase, Oathkeeper could be swapped out with any IAP like Pomerium or just with your reverse proxy's auth request support + some small custom shim.

I haven't tried Keto (access control) or Kratos (user management) yet. Kratos is on my todo list.

Yes, what we need is reasonably secure systems.

But what we pay for is features.

If you open the audio context you should see consistent latency as long as you keep it open, but each time you open a new audio context you might end up with different latency. You should not see jitter within a single context.

Just a quick reminder that this is because of the pandemic, and not because of intrinsic factors in the economy or natural business cycle or any of that sort of thing.
Abolish divorce, criminalize adultery, castrate men who knock up women out of wedlock...

Something less drastic?

How about this..

Look at this thread. You’ll read all kinds of excuses for and blame of the mother.

Yet nobody mentioned the father.

A father — under our system — faces no penalty for neglecting a child. None. In a custody order where the mother has primary, the father has NO OBLIgATION to see the kid.

This is so engrained in our culture that, like I said, the thread doesn’t even mention a father...
>I wonder how much of this is just people no longer able to claim unemployment.

Can you elaborate on this? If people are unable to claim unemployment, shouldn't that incentivize them to get a job, causing the figure to go down?
And some people like to have some peace in their own homes.

No one is picking on people for having a different life. I don’t care if people want to have lawns. I care if they run a goddamn engine right outside my home every single day of the week.

You can have your lawn. I really could not care less about it. What you can’t have is my acceptance of constant engine noise in the place where I live.

I suspect that the number of compromised software companies are much larger than these 2 companies. I'm almost certain that we will hear about others in the future. If you manage a software product I hope you are auditing the code regularly. You should also harden the security for it and who has access to the source code and its build no matter how unlikely you think you are a target.
Good to know. Any you would highly recommend?
The article does a great job of speaking to several of the things you mention :)
It's been a while since I've had to deal with Cisco IOS, but IIRC they were always good about releasing security fixes to anyone upon a TAC request.

For used devices off support contract, security incidents were a great opportunity to get free updates.
Sounds fine. It would be strange if vgubuntu-swap contained an actual filesystem with a single file on it (the swap file).
That link is more relevant. I don't mean to split hairs. Different nations (cultures? belief systems?) will feel differently about them and make different decisions. I don't think that a discussion that doesn't separate them out will end up anywhere productive.
It looks reasonable to me. And why ad hominem? At least you were polite; but the argument does not look compelling.

The book has already been censored once by the author (1978) and the website shows the censored version. The backlash is presumably more about the original uncensored work.

The original line was "A Chinaman who eats with sticks" along with an image of a man with yellow skin.

It’s on implementors to be correct. No one said the Java implementation needed to use float or double. Java isn’t the only web server implementation language.
What on earth makes you think that people in Taiwan wants to move to the US?
yes, a wonderful dystopia.

I can see you are cynical, the culture that appreciates sports will be less competitive than the culture that appreciates family involvement in STEM.

if you change any rules in society, some cultures will be more competitive at it. Germans were a quirky precision obsessed culture long before it became useful in the industrial revolution. Some cultures from Asia are competitive in Western Society, whether it is strenuous manual labor or intellectual pursuits.

The actual solution is related to pooling resources to improve society, as this makes it safer and more productive for all. Making it easier improves the fitness of society, as stressors harm society over multiple generations. So just talking about how one can stress themselves out to "make it out" is not productive. We can certainly appreciate it, but it is not a solution for society.
> IMO there's a tradeoff: we could be writing all our programs in C, still.

No need for that - you could use Zig or Rust. Though both need a better GUI frameworks, but it's certainly more efficient with them.
> This is a multi-dimensional failure at all levels. It's a failure at the Federal level, where NCLB etc pervert education. It's a failure at the state level to provide and enforce educational standards, and to address systemic poverty. It's a failure at the municipal level where crime, corruption and bureaucracy failed. And it's a failure at the personal level where a mother and son aren't communicating, aren't taking care of themselves.

I agree with all of the above. But I feel like you’re missing a key component, in between the distant federal bureaucracy and the over-burdened single mom. At 61%, this school has a daily attendance rate 10 points lower than Bangladesh did in 2000, when almost 70% of girls were married by age 18 and where, even today, children get pulled out of school because they are needed to work in subsistence agriculture. How does this happen?

My dad told me that he used to walk several miles in his village in Bangladesh to go to school, and people kept an eye on him the whole way. If he had not been in class a couple of days, word would have gotten back to his father. I’m talking here about a real village, where people relied on growing rice and mustard greens and fishing to live. His school house had no walls. A third of children died by age 5. They had nothing, other than a tight-knit community where nearly every single child was being raised by two parents, and were intrusively involved in the raising of all of the community’s children.

You’re correct that a “dysfunctional society” failed this kid. But society that’s missing here is the society of people who are supposed to keep an eye on this kid. Literally, not metaphorically. That social infrastructure has been destroyed—for a variety of reasons, from mass incarceration to social normalization of single parenthood. There is no replacement for this society. A federal bureaucracy with standards and metrics can’t fix this problem, because it doesn’t operate at that level.
It is important to start with the 'why' because often managing around the community becomes a thankless endeavour. It helps persevere till the point when it becomes self-sustaining or additional hands are available.

It's commendable that you'd cite an article that is biased against your viewpoint. But I still don't find the evidence compelling that there's been decades of improvement in math education results. They've been coming up with new "research based" techniques since what, 1960?
