Semantic HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS, and JAMStack.

Semantic: embed data directly in HTML. If I have a list of wines with categories, each wine's "class" attribute has a class for each category.

HTML: can be generated by anything and consumed by anyone. Great SEO.

CSS: These websites were all made with the same HTML, only CSS changing. http://www.csszengarden.com/

Let's imagine we have a checkbox, that when checked, should dim every wine that is not a white wine. Next to it is a div of wines, with the "container" class. The div contains wine elements.

3 lines of CSS:

input[type="checkbox"].whiteWine:checked + .container > :not(.whiteWine) {
opacity: 0.5;
}

You can replace the checkbox's appearance with an image, a video, just about anything– it doesn't have to look like a checkbox.

This would take many lines of JavaScript in any other framework.

Instead of attempting to warp HTML into a UI library, this uses HTML as a data format, and CSS as a way to present that data.
Making a Simple Virtual Machine Interpreter in Python (2013)
I could swear I have seen a video on building a test chamber with an intense light source to test a heat shield similar to the parker solar probe but with hydrogen or helium piped through it for a solar thermal thruster. But I can't find it now.

I think Hickel’s point looks something like “Roser claims colonialism was good because it supports his argument that poverty declined, but poverty was low before colonialism, therefore it was bad” (surely I’m missing something here?) I think Roser’s response is basically that “colonialism was bad and probably led to more poverty than there otherwise would have been. Also poverty was still high before colonialism compared to today, so I don’t need to rely on any heightened colonialism-induced poverty level to say that poverty has gone down”

You seem to be replying to this with “well actually colonialism was good because blah blah blah blah blah blah.” This seems to be irrelevant to everything in scope but I guess you just wanted to get it out of your system. FWIW, I think the earlier inhabitants of the former colonies you claim as successful might not have such a rosy view of the consequences of colonialism, and while eg white farmers in Zimbabwe might have preferred colonial Rhodesia sticking around, the majority of the population are probably happier that the colony didn’t become more “established,” as you put it. Hong Kong is a pretty unique case as it was tiny, important, already somewhat developed when taken, and able to avoid taking part in the suffering of the communist revolution in China.

The issue is that the current direction that big data is going doesn't do much to help planned economies like that. The big issue is really calculating preferences, which a market economy does through prices. If you don't have prices set by markets it's extremely difficult to calculate preferences from first principles.

I went to public school in Canada, and my wife did the same in the US. Neither of us had a kindergarten experience with desks and assignments - it was much like what you describe your experience as.

Perhaps your fancy kindergarten wasn’t as different from public school as you thought?
If he'd included more context perhaps. At best, the tweet reads as ambiguous, at worse a threat.

As someone who both

- believes in the importance of accessibility and actively responds to real accessibility issues

- has reviewed many ADA lawsuits filed against websites (specifically companies of varying sizes with sites that are ecommerce enabled)

the law needs to be adapted or a landmark case needs to set precedent because right now it's a terrible environment with no real way to avoid speculative lawsuits from ambulance chasing firms.
this doesn't cut it. someone could take a list of email addresses, hash them, and then reidentify the dataset. hashing buys you nothing from a gdpr/ccpa compliance perspective, storing the hash is seen as no different from storing the pii itself. it really only makes things harder because it becomes more difficult to find where all the pii is when someone submits a request for you to return or delete their data.
Anyone know if Apple will be putting out a wifi mesh system, maybe integrated into Homepod Minis? Apple already 'owns' me, I might as well have them run my Wifi too and ditch my unifi gear.

At least Apple seems to care about privacy and security, even if it is a self-serving marketing scheme.
I went to Egypt in 2012 and visited the Royal Mummy Room in the Egyptian Museum, it was unforgettable and one of the top highlights of my trip.

I had seen mummies before at the Louvre in Paris and at the British Museum in London, but this was on a whole other level. It was a small climate-controlled room where you could see the unwrapped mummies from a few inches away. Most are incredibly well-preserved and you can clearly recognize the similarities between family members, with distinct traits still perfectly recognizable after over 3,000 years.

It was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity to visit, once we can actually travel again. It's worth hiring an accredited guide (as opposed to someone you meet at random), they're very knowledgeable and speak English well.

His narrative is a bit cartoonish. He complains that communication was silenced starting in May 2020 and is testifying there because of a paper published in August 2020 in one of the most prominent journals in the US. An alternative explanation about the lack of ambulatory care is that most protocols don't really move the needle...

I also don't understand why he thinks the vaccine doesn't make sense for people under 50 (he says there is no scientific rationale for it). I'm in my early 40s and have a chance of dying of greater than 1/10,000 if I get infected. The vaccines cost very little and carry much less risk than that!
> The issue is the way unions work (or at least my understanding, correct me if wrong) is that in many places once a union has taken hold, they actually get the right to prevent a non-unionized worker for working.

Lots of states don't work that way (with "right to work" joining a union is always purely optional). The problem is that it empirically results in far worse outcomes for workers. With right to work unions are weaker because individuals can freeload off of the improvements in pay / working conditions achieved by a union without contributing back.
> R.e. me cherry-picking my study: "But the association disappeared by third grade." Second sentence in the abstract? To me, an effect which disappears by third grade is not a small positive effect. It is no effect at all.

Yes, so there was a positive effect that was no longer measurable by third grade, when we're looking at the dose response of kindergarten. (And there's other studies pointing the other way re: dose-response). And, we're talking about kindergarten in general, not the marginal benefits of higher doses of kindergarten.

That is-- if 200 mg ibuprofen is the standard of care, and we find people taking 400mg of ibuprofen have better outcomes than 200mg, then we think that probably ibuprofen is good (and 200mg would probably be better than 0). If we find taking 4000mg of ibuprofen is worse than taking 200mg, we can't really form any conclusions about the overall merits of 200mg vs. 0.

> That does not pass the sniff test for me

OK, so you don't like it. That's definitive.

> IMO, you cannot cite this study

It's not a study, it's a meta-analysis.

> in opposition to my position ("kindergarten doesn't make a significant difference for most kids")

Which is at least a clear position rather than the default position of snark.

> It is a bad study

It summarizes all the high quality research we have on the subject, and mentions/criticizes the earlier meta-analyses (which included many more component studies and found similar magnitudes of effect).

> at least as it pertains to ECE for any non-at-risk kids.

Of course, some of the component studies were of lower risk populations.
This is a great book/course. I started programming at 13 but didn't truly get a grasp of how a computer worked until I took this course at 24. Got me started with embedded systems and all kinds of other fun stuff.
One solution to bridge the gap between 'mostly' self driving and 'totally' self driving is to increase the safety systems.

Currently, safety systems for the people in the car are very good. But for people outside the car, they are very bad. If you can make it such that the car is very safe for all the people in a possible accident, then maybe the AI problem won't be such a problem.

Granted, that's a hard problem too, but we're pretty good with the theorems and modeling that goes into safety. It's more of an economics problem, not a design one.

A parent of older kids told me that if you sign your kid up for outside math programs, you shouldn’t tell the school. If the teacher finds out, they’ll figure your kid is taken care of for math and will ignore him/her.

Amazingly, this was a parent whose kids attend one of the wealthiest public schools in SV (Woodside Elementary, where even the teachers drive luxury cars...).

It's not that different than buying an original artwork. It's not as though you couldn't get a copy of the Mona Lisa that is technically superior (i.e. larger, no defects, modern materials, doesn't require absurd security, etc.).

The original artwork is an assemblage of atoms touched by the original creator, just as these NFTs are an assemblage of math touched by the original creator. The main distinction in my mind is that an NFT is not intrinsic to the original work. It wasn't created as a consequence of making the original.

We could create intrinsic NFTs if we wanted to. Something like a digital photo digitally signed by the author, with the outer 1% of the pixels cropped off and added to the NFT block, just as the back and unseen edges of paintings are used to prove provenance.
GitHub contributions in 3D-printed steel
Python has had a much longer head start, so it's no surprise it's still widely popular. You also bring up a good point regarding Julia's changing syntax and behavior—I've encountered the same issue trying copypasted code from various tutorials online (they didn't work.)

Julia's package ecosystem is rapidly catching up with Python's, at least for the packages you mentioned. I.e. Julia offers DataFrames.jl (its Pandas competitor), Plots and Gadfly (its Matplotlib competitors), and a few different ML libraries (its sklearn competitor). As for Numpy, its functionality is already offered through the base library in Julia, so there's no need for a separate package.

One especially nice feature of Julia is its interoperability with other languages. For example, if you need to use Python-specific functionality, you can do so from Julia through the PyCall library. Likewise for R, MATLAB, Java, etc. (C and Fortran FFIs are already offered through the base library.)
Instead of this I use explicitly named variables and functions.

Instead of addEventListener I assign event handlers directly to the event property of the DOM: button.onclick = whatever. This forces simplicity and cleaner code management because only one function can be assigned to any given property.

Instead of querySelectors I use other standard DOM methods.

We Have All Hit a Wall
This is generally (in my circles at least) what parents do regardless. As in, provide equipment and an environment to have fun and learn.

My anecdotal experience is once kids get to around 5, they start really wanting to form consistent social relationships. Also, if the child has younger siblings, generally they crave some “alone time” but not to be by themselves, to be with other kids their own age without their siblings.

Basically what I’m trying to say is parents do what you’re talking about, but the older kids get, the more they need and it’s not as simple as you’d expect.
If you were a historian trying to estimate things like historical poverty rate then this (and the “gdp” of subsistence farming or home crafts like spinning and weaving cloth for one’s own clothes) would, I hope, be one of the first things you would consider. Fortunately historians do consider this and work hard to produce results that don’t naively apply today’s economic systems and metrics to the past.

How can you save a web page as a single mhtml file in Firefox ?
It seems to me that author of the article implies that Cloudflare treats Workers' IPs as having much higher reputation (threat score in CF's terms) than any other IP on the Internet by default. This allows worker to bypass bot protection as it does not trigger at all or only when zone is configured to trigger on all requests (under attack mode).

Could you comment on that?
What about Firefox ?
As someone who doesn't do neither front-end nor back-end development I think this comment does the best job in this thread summarizing pitfalls I've observed as a user.

Although you probably (?) want to add that OS maintainers are slowly turning their repository of available OS-level applications into walled gardens, which I could see may push some developers to currently prefer web application implementations.

I read Permutation City recently and found it in line with what we talk about now, which is so impressive for its time (1994). From OP:

> Now take it a step further: your mind is now a part of a collective globally connected network. The boundary of where “you” exist and where the rest of the world exists is erased. You can feel what other people feel.

This reminded me more of a book I've read online [1]. The synopsis doesn't do it justice, but shows the concept:

> All minds are networked together. Everyone collectively votes to punish or promote anyone for the slightest thought. Cater to your orbiters, and they'll vote to give you candy or slaves or even governorship of a metropolis. Challenge or defy your orbiters and ... well, good luck with that. You'll be down-voted until you die.

People who only need "core" Matlab can easily switch, but toolboxes carry tons of validated code, and a lot of additional hardware/software firms expect you to use Matlab to interface with their products.

For example, COMSOL only allows interactive programming via Matlab, and Matlab can interface with Cosworth's Pi Toolbox as long as you have the right license key.
Neither. It is a function of failure to suppress the motor aspects of internal speech that is a hallmark of ADHD.
> FWIW that belief is considered basic developmental science in Germany and informs the early education system there (at least).

I suspect the GP was talking more about things like Steiner's belief that a child shouldn't exit kindergarten until they lose a baby tooth. Or that any illness a child develops was something their souls chose before birth, and therefore things like vaccination deny the soul. Or how different races came from places like Atlantis or Lemuria...

Anthroposophy is a whole thing.

Play and social learning is why we enrolled our kid in early childhood with Waldorf, but Anthroposophy is why we got out.
Not according to my network teacher (for the upper case one), but this is a moot point, since the result is the same.
> The flip side of this is that modern life is really really unfriendly to people with pets.

Pets—unlike service animals—are a privilege, not a right. No one is born needing a pet to survive, or to participate in society.

If a pet inconveniences someone else, the pet owner needs to make accommodations, and not the other way around.
It is not retaliation at all. Unionization changes how the company works, payment can be changed accordingly.

> Does it really "implicitly assume more knowledge than we actually have"? To assign an epistemic probability of 0.5 exactly to a proposition is to be in a state of zero knowledge concerning its truth?

This seems to me to be a slightly burden-shifting way to look at the issue. If one is assignining a more-or-less precise value - whatever it is - one should have a more-or-less solid reason for using that value and not some other.

> To assign an epistemic probability of 0.5 exactly is to assume no knowledge at all.

When, for example, I assign a probability of 0.5 to a fair coin showing heads after being tossed, I am most definitely not assuming no knowledge at all. If, on the other hand, I were asked to assume a probability for a scafwich showing a flantex after being zenquexed, I would have no basis for saying 0.5, or any other value.
I suspect that, being enormous, things in Russia would still look different to Finland if they had taken a liberal democratic path. Perhaps more similar to America or the EU.

> Democrats have some options they'd like to do that might help but cannot because of the filibuster.

Repetitively, issues are raised and forgotten by politicians, and never actually solved by the party in power. For various reasons, many people have come to believe propaganda about the filibuster. For example, Sen. Warren and others say that the filibuster is racist and a relic of the past, yet Democrats (including Warren) filibustered the Republican's $500 billion coronavirus relief bill in September of last year. They were really saving their votes to send you money after the election. They also filibustered a Republican police-reform bill last year.

While the parties do not necessarily hold the same platforms as each other, many of the Senators literally went to school in order to become politicians. They are not your friends. They are prevaricating in order to remain in power and make money. Not all - but many of them. Warren has some redeeming qualities, but facts are facts. She has been a Senator since 2013 and has had her own share of "clarified statements".

Definition: A wedge issue is a divisive political issue, especially one that is raised by a candidate for public office in hopes of attracting or alienating an opponent's supporters.

These wedge issues are used to keep people's emotions going, so as to vote for one party and hate the other. Then, the issues are not solved a the times they could. There is a reason for the existence of an actual term, wedge issue, for the concept - because it constantly happens.
