Are we assuming the school put zero effort into bringing these issues up with the parent?

All the schools I attended would place an automated call to my parents if I was absent for a class or the day. Mid-Semester progress reports were mailed to my house for my parents to review. If a student fell severely behind, the teacher could request a conference with the parent.

Perhaps... perhaps this school did none of that (hard to believe). But on some level, the parent has to actually give a sh*t about their child and their education. Working 3 jobs or whatever is not an excuse to be an absent parent.

I'm close with several elementary school teachers, and we've had this discussion before. A parent that doesn't care at all, will nearly always yield a child that performs poorly, no matter how much individual attention the teacher applies to the child. Parents must be engaged in a child's upbringing - they are the primary role model for the child and are the only people that can enforce desired behaviors like doing homework instead of playing video games.
I didn’t downvote but I object to this part, especially for beginner learners:

> The litmus test for someone who knows truly how to draw is to ask them to redraw whatever object they drew but from a different angle or perspective. Most people to learned by measuring and training their eye won't be able to do it.

How many of us, when we encounter a piece of artwork we appreciate, really care if the artist is able to redraw the object from another angle?

There are some limited circumstances where I can see this skill being relevant: for example, if you want to publish a series (a visually elaborate webcomic or such), or you want to be hired to work to spec doing e.g. animation or storyboarding. That aside, just being able to draw something others appreciate—even if that involves shortcuts and working around own limitations—sounds like an important stepping stone and a source of dopamine that can motivate further learning, which could eventually get you to mentally seeing things in three dimensions and being able to draw an object from any angle.

A parallel I can draw from personal experience is with music. We don’t make students learn notation and music theory first; we start with actually playing, practicing the motions, stretching fingers, learning to hit the right keys/buttons/strings, etc. If you get to being able to just play cool tunes, that’s good. If you don’t advance past that, some would consider that unfortunate and I won’t argue with that, but invalidating this stage outright sounds like unnecessary gatekeeping.
I’ve been using Linux for work and personal for 4 years. Almost everything used in the enterprise today has a web app/electron version or runs natively. Including MS products themselves. I laugh maniacally every time I’m working in Word online... muahahaha
The team's communication channel is the Debian AI mailing list [1], and they'd absolutely appreciate someone reaching out. Having ROCm succeed is a mutual interest.

From what I recall, on the software side, I think the difficulties stemmed from ROCm being distributed (naturally, of course) as a vendor would do it, for example: targeting specific kernels, compilers, distribution versions. The problem with this is that all these may become out of date, which means that the GitHub instructions may no longer work for anyone wanting to give it a try. This was the case for some of the team members attempting to rebuild some of the packages.

The Debian team would prefer to package all elements of the ROCm ecosystem and include them in the official Debian archive, so that users can just run `apt-get install rocm-something` without worrying about the kernel version etc., just as they can already do a trivial `apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit`.

I think collaboration with AMD here would be mutually beneficial, as on the one hand, Debian wants FOSS accelerated computing, which AMD is pushing, and on the other hand, Debian is naturally experienced in distributing things for Debian, Ubuntu, etc., something AMD could benefit from.

Thank you for engaging!

RIP Intel...

They need their new process node and whatever new architecture they have in the pipe to land -soon-.

Looks like my 9900k might be the last Intel processor I buy for a long time unless things drastically change.
There's no browser component. Qt (https://www.qt.io/) is the granddaddy of native cross-platform GUI.
If one person is failing then maybe it's because they made bad decisions.

If most people are failing, then it's not a case of bad decisions, it's a systems issue.

It's stupid to try to apply personal responsibility to average behaviour. Groups of people do things for reasons.
What horrendous, world-ending catastrophe do you think would occur if someone sold pornography at the farmers market?

If the public doesn’t want to buy porn there, they won’t and the stand will go out of business.

If they do want to buy porn there, why do you think the farmers market owners should be allowed to dictate what adults are and are not allowed to buy?

What if you wanted to set up a stand that sold books exclusively by African-American authors and they told you you weren’t allowed to do that. Is that ok?
6 week is quite a bit crazy. You also have to realize this is a drain on existing employees who have built a relation and then have to break it.

I interviewed with vscode and they had a 2 day process. Granted theirs was not a calibrated interview. They would choose random vscode tickets. I was given one that I could only test on a windows machine (at that time I did not have a windows machine). It felt a bit biased.
You’re right about me saying fact not making it a fact. Fact. (Oh god I don’t think I can stop now...)

However, I just shared a bunch of open source facts with you. All sourced from left leaning sources as to be somewhat unbiased (even though my bias on this subject is probably pretty heavy)

This isn’t about winning an online argument, it’s about a call for reason when things have become so silly that we are a step away from the Grinch being canceled because his big nose looks Jewish and that’s Nazism or something.

Not one single neo Nazi has ever been uplifted and supported in their beliefs by classic children’s books.
> It also says that the school claims to have requested only one parent teacher conference with the parent

Actually, if I read it correctly, it says that school records indicate that only one teacher requested that a parent-teacher conference be held, and there is no supporting evidence that the school acted on that.
There's a simple rule I use: -> is for maps and ->> is for collections.

Functions that take a map should take it as first argument, functions that take collections should take the collection as last argument.
This is how the clojure core functions work, eg. -> `assoc`, `conj`, `dissoc` vs ->> `map`, `filter`, `reduce`, `some`.

If you follow this rule in your code, threading is nice and looks good.
If you want to force different argument position, use a lambda, like so
(->> coll (#(my-fn %))).

However, I recommend against it. Use a binding and then use the other threading macro if necessary.
The proper mitigation would be actually using much simpler, better quality software. Microsoft Exchange Server is quite famous for being an attack vector on corporate networks. At my previous job, the company was advised (by a very capable and expensive security consulting company) to keep Exchange as separate as possible from the corporate network - this of course is a bit counter intuitive, when you want to use e.g. Single Sign-On, contacts and more typically with Active Directory (AD). Thankfully my job wasn't to administer or develop any solutions for AD or Exchange so I just took a note.

Obviously, no engineer can have even a sufficient overview of the full Exchange Server implementation not speaking of full understanding. In such a situation security, quality and user (or admin for that matter) experience always take a big hit. It doesn't help Exchange Server is most likely developed using programming languages and approaches that more or less demand complecting the solution with OOP-related ceremony. Supporting two decades or more of legacy features and protocols doesn't help. Some companies even want to connect AD and Exchange to SharePoint... which is at least as complex as Exchange.

The problem companies don't understand is that you have to work on simplifying, which is very hard - much harder than adding features. If you don't, the interactions between components will overwhelm even the largest and best skilled team on the planet. The result is, we see breaches and security issues like this every day and realistically, nobody who can decide anything in the corporate environment gives a f** anymore because nobody pays the more or less laughable fines with their own money and nobody really goes to jail but the user data is lost, peoples lives are shattered.
Take a serious drawing class, specifically in the classical academic tradition [1]. As a beginner, you need:

a.) theory to simplify and organize the visual information in front of you

b.) immediate and rigorous feedback on your mistakes.

The realist ateliers make a point of doing both and are incredibly effective at teaching. Don't be put off by the classicist dogma. It really is the best art instruction you can get today.

IMO the independent study route is a poor use of time. It is indeed very important to "learn to see," but you probably won't achieve this by staring at an object and trying to reproduce it. You will definitely get better if you do the exercises in e.g. "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," but you'll still be pretty bad, and what's worse, you'll have no idea how to improve.

> how to avoid a sex discrimination lawsuit

Where's Coursera's moat here? Dozens of companies offer this, and from what I can gather, companies will want to spend the minimum amount of money they can get away with to cover the legal liabilities.

> using some ML library in the analytics stack

This was a fad. You don't teach your average software engineers how to do this. If you care, you hire data scientists and have your own ML team. Or you just carry on with business as usual.

edit: your downvotes flag my account and prevent me from interacting with the HN community. If that's how you'd like to do things, then fine. I'd rather this was an amicable discussion than a downvote party.
Based on the previous hacks of the DNC regarding Russiagate and Wikileaks being fraudulent allegations, the current leadership being Democratic (1), and the current target being China, I am not convinced by simple assertions alleging the an actual exfiltration of emails by China without evidence.

(1) Not that Republicans wouldn't be above this, just that the Democratic party has a history of this particular tactic.

EDIT: My guess is that if they actually showed what they were basing this allegation on, a lot of people would conclude it was extremely weak stuff, maybe impossible to decide who did it if anyone did. Hiding information is extremely useful for spinning authoritative narratives. Of course let's not forget that NSA implants are probably present in strategic locations around China, but that's par for the course.
There really is no comparison. Udemy is youtube tutorials that you pay for, while coursera are modified versions of actual college/graduate courses from the best universities in the world, and they're free.

Just took Intro to Mathematical Thinking from Stanford on coursera, it was fantastic.

Wing Commander III is the only computer game my 67 year-old father has ever purchased and played in his adult life.
Also, Chromium's Blink renderer has a lot of LGPLv2 source files that date back to the KDE KHTML days[1] and as you can see by the numerous proprietary applications that use Electron and Chromium Embedded Framework, that this doesn't hinder companies from using LGPL libraries as long as they abide by the license.

However, one thing to note: the OSS version of Qt uses the LGPLv3 license, which has additional restrictions (like the "Anti-Tivoization" clause) which make it incompatible with the iOS AppStore thus forcing you to use the commercial version of Qt in those situations. Not sure about the Mac and Windows 10 app stores, I am curious if anyone knows/has experience with LGPLv3 and those stores?

Nowhere did I imply education was a zero sum game. What I did mention was that students who were able to comprehend mathematics using the traditional arithmetic techniques were not getting credit for their work, because the education system was forcing a new thought model for learning elementary math. The fact that this new model, Common Core, was specifically designed to reduce privelege (and not "help those struggling with math"), and the fact that many students, parents, and educators find it less logical, should raise concern for all of us.

How does "everyone win" when students who understand math are failing tests because they're not using an absurd roundabout method of multiplying numbers?

> There are usually about 180 days in a school year meaning this student was absent more than than 50% of the time. At what point is it no longer the school's fault?

It is more, not less, the school’s fault if they aren't actively reaching out to parents with significant absences.
> 272 days

That's more than the number of days in a school year. She admitted she knew he was failing. He missed more than a full year of school. And now she's trying to blame the school for it instead of taking responsibility for her own parenting. The clear fuck-up I see on the school's part is the school moving him on to the next year's classes when he's failed the previous year so thoroughly.
That point has been beaten to death here in case of GDPR, though. The problem isn't with regulation, but enforcement. The fines aren't applied nowhere near enough, so almost no site cares.

The consumer experience being worse is, in a large way, purposeful UX degradation done by the sites themselves. The typical consent popup tries to simultaneously walk the line between "illegal under GDPR" and "just scummy" (often crossing to the illegal side; see the problem of low enforcement), and shift the blame for bad UX on those pesky, no good regulators.
According to the article,

"The new generation Rocket Lake is the combination of two different backported technologies. Intel took the Sunny Cove core from 10nm Ice Lake, and re-built it on 14nm, calling it now Cypress Cove. Intel also took the Xe graphics from 10nm Tiger Lake and re-built those on 14nm, but these are still called Xe graphics."

So, yes, it appears to be a backport.
I use mongoose and mongodb mostly with node, because the technologies marry so well. I generally ETL over to pg for heavy analytics workloads.
Sure, would be great if everything had everything we need at creation. But this is first a Show HN from a user here and secondly open source software, so I think you need to adjust your expectations a bit.

Agree with your final part, very exciting and gonna be interesting to see where nodegui goes, especially security wise.

You know what, I like this, as long as the filter can be fully disabled, legally. Not sure why "always on" tracking is needed, it can be local-first. A dynamic, content-based (filter video tags, image tags, not by DNS) porn or suggestive content filter would be handy.

People are saying you could just turn it off. I don't see that as the point. I would keep it on, because I want less porn. The same reason I want the government to nudge me to use a seatbelt, because as an irrational human, I can be too short-sighted to look over my long-term interests. The same applies to porn: Porn can harm me in the long-term by rewiring my brain in a bad way, but gives me short-term ecstasy.

It's a preactivated, effective filter for erotic content. It helps people who want to avoid porn avoid it.

I see it not as "government restricts porn" but "government nudges people to avoid porn, provides switch to turn off."
I wrote a bit about interviewing here https://nojvek.substack.com/p/how-to-make-coding-interviews-...

1) white board interviews are good for brainstorming, terrible for writing code in

2) Coding questions consider whether candidate can write code, ask more details about the problem space, iterate possible ways to solve a problem and list their tradeoffs.

3) Talk to the references

A lot of times it is not about the candidate, it is how well you onboard and mentor them.
No - and I'm guessing my misunderstanding is based on "not-being-American".

I'm British and school (at least when I was there)'s purpose was passing a set of exams when you're 16 and then another optionally at 18.
There were informal exams throughout, to tack progress.

Occasionally it was suggested a pupil was held back a year (if they were so far behind, they wouldn't benefit from the next year) - but that was pretty extreme.

Normally pupils were just streamed, so they were put in a class of comparable ability the next year. If they did well they might go up, if they didn't they might go down.

If you hit an exam in a low stream, you might get pushed towards an easier exam (with a lower maximum grade available)

Basically you as a pupil, were never in any doubt as to your trajectory.
I love this response. I've been asking this question a lot lately (to myself and others): why are you a solution engineer?, why are you here ($curjob)?, where would you want to work, and why? etc.

Sprinting to a coworker's desk (or chat thread in COVID times) and helping them out on whatever roadblocks they run into is pure fentanyl, straight to the jugular. Even if it's just providing moral support by looking over their shoulder, indeed nothing feels more rewarding than hearing a colleague say: "wow, thanks wonderingse!"

Oxide's mission, principles, and values mirror my own, almost comically so. It seems a bit early to ask but:

When will Oxide start hiring pre-sales solution engineers?
Banks haven't been an insurmountable problem for me, but there's definitely varying degrees of friction. Having an official current property tax document for the residence showing the PO BOX mailing address it was sent to seems to help, but it does require in-person time-wasting to navigate the barriers. I assume it's a real PITA or impossible if you just do a web/app kind of signup, especially with a huge bank. My local small rural bank didn't even bat an eye to separate mailing address and resident address, happily sending the bank card to the PO BOX, but they serve a rural community of many people living at the end of dirt roads and the account was opened in-person.

I did have a problem with E*Trade because they partner with a banking provider. Despite having the PO BOX as the mailing address, their bank insisted on sending the debit card to the residence address. This was resolved by them sending it via FedEx, no mailbox required, still fulfilled their requirement of confirming the card goes to the residence on file, done.

I haven't had to get a new license in this mode yet, but the vehicle registration has all been frictionless with separate fields for residence and mailing addresses. Maybe it will be a mess for the DL, but I'm pretty confident there's a way. Even retirees who sold their home and are living exclusively in their RV have an escape hatch at the DMV AIUI.
Not really. Energy scarcity is a very useful geopolitical tool when you're the one with the tap on the oil, the weapons, and the money.
Everyone else pays for monthly Office 365 subscriptions and ends up spending more money. (Which is what I recommend now, but it galls me to no end.)

I don't buy the "Exchange is expensive to support" argument. It's cheaper on-prem than paying for the subscription. We always saw break-even at around 16 - 20 months.

I have billing records for a small business Customer w/ a single Exchange 2016 server for last year that amount to 6.5 hours for the entire year, including installing CU's 16 thru 18 (CU 19 fell in this year). Yes-- a piece of their overall Windows Update application budget applies to Exchange, as does the amortized cost of backup software, and server computer and support hardware. Even w/ the OS license, Exchange license, and CALs at 120x an Office 365 E3 monthly subscription they're still money ahead over the 4+ years they've been running Exchange.

Hm.. I find it funny that organizations use MS products and stay in business. The amount of downtime and ridiculous failures I saw regularly as a consultant were astounding.

My coworkers used Macs which really don't cost anything given hardware lasts 8+ years now. Most companies using Windows have a large budget for laptop IT that costs more than replacing expensive machines often if that were necessary.
