Isn’t this just a reinvention of the idea of Open Standards?

The fundamental problem is not that no one has formalized the idea, but that the baseline incentives for commercial software do not include optimization for interoperability.

For that we need standards bodies or other regulation - RFCs and the like. And, hacker news, we need line engineers to recognize when their produce is suboptimal by these standards, and why.
> This pretends that test scores are a meaningful metric for the success of school funding when we know that's not true.

Test scores are meaningful, but they aren’t absolute. To say test scores are meaningless is not true. The reason tests are used, and probably overused, is to have some sort of generalizable metric.

Just because tests have flaws doesn’t mean they are worthless. I think more focus should be spent on better tests, and fewer, not on doing away with them.

There’s some magical thinking that a country of 330M will be able to holistically evaluate kids across the country in a way that is useful for funding allocation.

You have to be in school until you're 16 (age varies depending on state), so the number of attempts is entirely dependent on your grade. If you fail at 10th grade you can drop out right there.

Absolutely. The parts of Exchange that got exploited are exposed because people want ActiveSync on their phones and web-based email. If you did without on those, or ran them over a VPN, just having SMTP exposed didn't make you vulnerable to this.

That's because github had the first mover advantage. I remember when most opensource was done on sourceforge or various random svn repos.

Github had great UX, had free repos if you were open source, invented the fork + pull request workflow. This made them the de-facto place where opensource was done.

Also it pains me how little linus made, even though GitHub made billions from the Msft acquisition.

> No, big companies are not inherently evil.

No they aren't. They are mostly amoral. Meaning they aren't inherently moral or immoral. They just act in accordance with their main directive which is to make the largest possible profit while keeping with the letter of the law (mostly).

However, what the left emphasizes and the right often forgets is that they (corporations) aren't just reacting to pressures from the competitors, the public and the law makers. They also exert enormous pressure in all these spheres in the direction that benefits them. Not too rarely to the detriment of the public at large. That's when they can and do sometimes turn evil.

Recycled soda glass might have too little silica to make durable cement, but high silica glass (90%+) is a good way. recycled bottle glass - being mainly soda glass. A google finds this which shows that up to 15% of waste glass is OK, above that and properties decline. I believe they do use as much as they can as it is a disposal problem. Glass factories recycle their own waste into new glass. Used glass is removed from some recycling facilities, but with so many plastic bottles these days, separation is a labor cost problem.

Something this formally explicit about FSMs strikes me as most valuable for Product Managers or QA who, in my career so far, tend to need help clarifying their thinking, so as a backend to some tool like that.

Most engineers are encoding a state machine somewhere in their code, either implicitly or not. But whether an engineer gets more value out of formalizing the code around it like this is up for debate to me. Maybe as a first iteration as way to approach correctness first for those Javascript projects whose requirements aren't too demanding or where the team has issues around thinking explicitly about how to eliminate invalid states (which, to be fair, there are enough of those some team somewhere should consider it), but at the same time a testing regime could accomplish the same thing (ensuring only valid edges between states are traversible, the right IO called at entry/exit of a state, etc but IIRC it assumes a JS environment) without "stretching out" your code surface to formally describe a compound state machine.

I do think as a data representation though, SCXML is likely very attractive for IVR projects, or any project where a user is navigating some state machine via input cause you can separate the domain from the FSM description (via XML namespacing is one way, though SCXML does have elements for describing domain data, simple logic, etc), which makes the data you really care about more framework/language agnostic

The best I could find was https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/71301 which suggests a 32ms touch latency. I think that might include some processing, but it doesn't seem much better than the 20ms latency in Android mentioned in the article.

The audio processing latency seems to be single digit on both systems.

In any case, I don't think these differences are big enough to argue that "Android can't be used for instruments".

Responsibility: is Nazi propaganda.

Which is one of the reasons Hitler expected Germany and the UK to come to an accommodation. And why he was surprised - even blindsided - when the UK decided to declare war instead.

One debatable defence is that this was still pre-Holocaust, and outright anti-Semitism hadn't yet devolved into mechanised mass murder and enslaved brutalisation.

So it was possible with some moral gymnastics to justify the Nazis as better than the Bolsheviks, who were considered a far more immediate threat to the British ruling class.

Even so. There's no question there was always an undercurrent of support in high places. And in fact the British mythology of Churchillian resistance is at least as much about a nationalist myth of pushback against Germany as a virile and potent competing empire as about fighting the immoral horrors of Nazi fascism and genocide.

That's only what happens in the bougie suburbs. Literal teams of professional staff making putting greens in front of stately homes, because keeping grass that thick and low takes a lot of regular work. Most places that aren't a desert or Mediterranean climate in the US don't need their lawns watered, rain is frequent enough, and grass might only need to be cut 1-2 times a week if that, depending on the rains. Overall, even in places that need sprinklers like CA, sprinkler systems don't use much water relative to other strains on the water system such as industry. It might be foolhardy to grow a lawn where the heat is regularly exceeding 100*, however, because you will practically have to water multiple times a day to keep up with the hot ground baking out the water.

Let's hope it was a reverse merger.

He said, expecting the answer, "no."
This sounds very interesting. Do you have any more information on this?
No, again. It's not the helping less priveleged students that's the issue. The issue is forcing successful students to use a new system, regardless of their comprehension.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with common core, but it starts actually at addition and subtraction, before students even get to memorizing multiplication tables. The traditional method of "borrowing a 1" from the next digit is no longer a valid method of showing work for multi-digit subtraction. This is the method most of us learned on just fine. It works, it doesn't abstract away any numerical concepts. Again, if students struggle, I'm all for alternative methods. But forcing students with solid comprehension into "finding a zero" can do more damage than good.

>Giving less privileged children more tools to understand higher math takes nothing away from more privileged children.

I just explained how students who grasp the math are forced to learn a new method, one that often adds unnecessary confusion. You would be correct if students were allowed to use the methods they understood (assuming the methods are mathmatically sound)

> We don't know that was the case - and can very likely assume it's not the case.

Since the article involves review of records which include contact requests initiate by school staff, and does not cover any regarding attendance/truancy from administration, we can most justifiably assume that, like those concerning class performance from teachers (other than the one teacher request that there is no evidence ever went beyond the school office), there was nothing.

And we can be fairly certain, again, given the absence of remark on this being in the records, that despite absence far above the level that is legally defined a truancy in Maryland, the student either was not referred to the district by the school for truancy (most likely, as even a report without follow up would be reflected), or, if they were referred, the follow-up of either active contact by the district (if the school's own contact records did not show sufficient active effort) or referral to law enforcement (if the school's records showed all reasonable efforts at outreach had been exhausted or the districts own followup was unsuccessful) did not occur.

Even if the parent was actively and willfully wrong here, the authorities at the school and/or district failed their duty that exists for the the benefit of the student and for the benefit of the other students whose education the occasional presence of the intermittently attending student would interfere with.

So, while there is certainly a parental failure (the precise degree of culpability for which cannot be assessed from the information at hand), the parent is also completely correct (almost irrespective of the degree of their own culpability[0]) that school authorities failed her child (and, though she did not make this charge, in doing so they failed the public, as well, and the fact that her son was apparently fairly typical for the school tends to indicate that the failure by the school authorities was massive and systemic, not an isolated individual falling through the cracks.)

There just isn't much you really need e.g. Word or Excel for. If your corporate application doesn't run with a useful web interface, you probably have other issues too.

Word is an application that puts looks, thousands of mostly useless features and pixel-pushing up front. Excel at least really enables normal people to do some advanced calculations on data but the former still applies. Both are very complex tools mostly hindering any kind of value-added thinking and creativity but give you enough foot-guns and are really "fun" to support if you count Outlook in as well. I mean, how do you program an application that regularly crashes and corrupts the email database? LibreOffice is the same kind of thinking, because it mostly is a copy of the ideas in Word, Excel etc. Actually, when we are at it, Google Docs is more or less as problematic as the other tools.

Actually, just opening any of these applications seems a bit overwhelming. Why should you care that the readable font is 11 or 12 px big (it actually isn't that comfortable to read, but ok)? Why should you care that the default font is called Calibri or whatever? This is information and complexity that is shown by default that usually adds exactly nothing to your business. The same is with colours. Why should you want to have the option to select custom colours with two clicks or so when most people choose colours badly? The default colours offered are really not that great either.
