Ask HN: How to get into teaching?
I have always been interested in sharing knowledge and helping people learn new things.

When I was in school, I organized a semester-long workshop to teach 12 year-olds Scratch, and it went really well, with super cool projects and bunch of kids getting a first taste of programming.

When I was in uni, I constantly held workshops to teach things like: Git, practical Linux commands, Wordpress developpement, etc..

When I started working as a SWE, I enjoyed having regular workshops, teaching people about tools, frameworks and languages that I thought were too interesting to keep for myself.

Needless to say; I enjoy it. And I'm starting to think I want to teach in a more structured and "official" way. However, I have no idea how to get into the teaching world. Maybe just 1 or 2 classes per-week while keeping my main activity as SWE.

I checked around my area for private-schools, bootcamps, etc...

They don't seem to have a career page for this kind of positions. So I'm wondering if anyone here have done a similar thing? And how did you get your foot in the door?
> which has 5 years maximum mortgage term.

Not maximum, but most typical. You can get, e.g., 10 year mortgages:

This has to be the absolute worst attempt at an explanation ever. Even the "monads are a burrito" thing is better.
This is not just something for the well to do.

I have experience with government run elder care programs and the (privately run) estate planning that goes with it. Shoehorning all your worth into a trust (there's more to it than that) is something that not so affluent people commonly have to do in order to qualify for state run elder assistance programs/subsidies that they don't qualify for and couldn't afford themselves (fixed income) because their money is tied up in a non-liquid asset (their house). This isn't something just for the affluent. Basically if you own your own house or have a lot of equity in it it's what you have to do unless you want to give the state your house in exchange for a free van ride to the senior center or 7hr/wk of in-home care.

And before you assume everywhere is like SV and that owning your own house makes you affluent by default I would like to state that my experience is on the other side of the country.

UK and US both have private central banks. This is true for all G8 countries if I remember correctly.

Most income taxes collected in the US/UK go directly to these private organizations.

In many ways slavery in the US was 'abolished' in 1865 then a revised version (aka perpetual debt slavery) was adopted in 1913 at the tail end of the US-China opium trade induced economic boom and expanded by both parties in the decades that followed.
Not a book but another article from quanta, and my favourite on the subject, not for it's technical depth but for it's perspective:

https://www.wired.com/2017/02/life-death-spring-disorder/

I felt like this one brings in the modern understanding combining Maxwell, Shannon and Landauer into a tangible perspective of everyday reality... maxwell demon is not "solvable", it's an extreme example for the purpose of a thought experiment, however practical "versions" of it exist everywhere, once you combine the costs as per landauers contributions, swap an infinite tape for a large tape, you essentially have a cache - when you start to observe biological and complex chemical systems with this perspective it really does feel like life can be thought of as little emergent upstream eddies "anti-entropy" machines in a torrent of entropy, like a dead fish that naturally swims upstream, there is no defying physics here, entropy still increases universally, but these are natural local variations.

It's hard to not believe "reducing entropy" is the fundamental "meaning of life" with this point of view, a meaning that is shared among all life: to not dissolve into oblivion, to collect little hacks of physics and chemistry to find better and better ways to evade it.
I recall a discussion on array programming languages on here a while back where someone claimed that an acquaintance of theirs was earning nearly 7 figures working on q/kdb+.
Also consider age distribution/population density in areas you compare.

Death rate is exponential in age, so small differences in age distribution gives big differences in relative deaths.
It depends on the implementation of malloc. But usually yes, memory allocated at the same time is not at the same location.
The solution is to allocate a big chunk at once and place your data in the order you want it. You can use, for example placement new for the objects and indices for references.

Even if we ignore the fact that an overdose is not a suicide, those 90k are right in line with the trend from prior years. 2018 and 2019 were a bit anomalous, but if you look at the CDC data is is quite clear that there is nothing unexpected about that number and if you were in 2015 and guessing what the 2020 numbers would be then 90k would be a safe bet.

He's just saying...

Two ways to learn about the market.

1 - Analysis
He's defining as using data from existing companies, economic trends, etc. Much of this data is relatively low cost and can be fine quickly.

Analysis tends to provide insight into existing supply and demand. E.g. How many companies are selling electric cars? How much did the sales increase/decrease this year?

Based on analysis, a startup might want to create a new charging station.

2 - Experiments
This is where someone puts an offer into the market and sees if there are buyers.

Usually these are for unique features, or possibly new products.

Example: clubhouse was an experiment

He's saying experiments usually cost more, because in theory you are at least prototyping + spending money on marketing/sales + support of early buyers.

____
Analysis looks to identify useful patterns in what is already happening, so factual.

Experiments try to find gaps that look for needs that aren't being met, so no behavior yet... So "counter factual".

____
Possibly he's also saying that deeper innovation happens based on experimentation.

And he's further asking: Do angel investors support experimentation more than other types of investors.

Yes it's a Notepad bug! Exactly! The editor!

Not a TXT bug! Thank you for making my point!

It'd be kind of crazy if there was something inherent to the TXT that when opened in any program made that bug occur! But the issue was with Notepad! Much more believable!

Windows bug would be acceptable too, or WinAPI bug :)

This isn't that complicated, I don't mind teaching y'all how to not write non-clickbait headlines
Maybe, but this seems to be a bug with Apple's IO toolkit on x86, so it's unrelated(other than x86 support on macOS already falling apart, which is completely unexpected, considering the quality of the rest of the OS after recent releases).

It's looking more and more like a whole bunch of Asian countries just got lucky. Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam have all currently got uncontrolled community spread again (possibly China too), and whilst the Taiwan outbreak could maybe be blamed on them getting sloppy Singapore has been aggressively enforcing mask wearing the whole time.

There was already good reason to suspect this was the case over a year ago too. The early outbreaks mostly seemed to be a gradient emanating outwards from Italy, with genetic testing suggesting that even the US had done reasonably well at halting spread from China and its big outbreaks came from Europe; Asia is obviously a long way from Italy and it was suspicious that a bunch of countries that in reality had widely varying policies on things like masks, testing, etc showed such similar results. Including countries like Australia and New Zealand that were more or less western in terms of culture but were geographically close to the rest.
We don't currently offer anything like that. Your current best bet would be to consolidate licenses into a bundle at a later date.
> with a tiny country like that government is always there, always responsive, always able to answer the phone and take care of your problem.

I doubt it. A government of a small country does not necessarily have more resources per citizen. But Lichtenstein is one of the richest countries in the world, so the service level might be higher than the average country.

If Lichtenstein is like the typical small town, then it very much depend on who you are, if the government is going to take care of your problems when you call.

The issue is that when I transfer via international bank transfer I'm subject to pretty steep taxes on the Argentinian bank account. Plus the cost of doing the transfer, which was not cheap (about 40 euro for the sender). Also, most transfer systems convert your currency using the official rate, which is fixed by the government.

On the other side, if I use crypto, the value of my bitcoins (well, my fraction of a bitcoin) is decided not by the government but by the market. That alone makes a difference of between 33% and 60% of the transfer amount.

For example, right now officially an euro is 115 ARS. But non-officially is 184 ARS.

It provides terminal UI interface (ncurses), JSON RPC Server (and client), API mode (just print the search result in json format to the stdout), user defined strings excluded search and some more. We also plan to implement web UI and DHT search. Hope this will be useful :) Any suggestions for improvements are very welcomed.
Show HN: Amaze Kids – a healthy alternative to YouTube for kids
Hey HN,
Do you believe that your children deserve safe, digital spaces where they can watch entertaining and educational content - free from ads, from tracking and from dreary, mindless, and potentially harmful content?

As a parent in today’s digital world, like many others, I was constantly worried about unsafe content sneaking into my children’s screens. Technology, however, is an inevitable and integral part of the world we live and with its growing prevalence in our lives, I wanted to create a product that could enrich screen time with a meaningful and positive impact on children.

With this in mind, I set out to create an app, that was not only safe, but would inspire and ignite that creative spark with content that your kids will love.

Thus was born Amaze Kids – a free, educational app for children aged 2 to 12.

Amaze Kids features meticulously handpicked content from around the world, and organizes it in a simple-to-use app. Because 100% of the content is pre-approved by our team (of parents), not a faceless algorithm, your child can explore safely and independently, without the risk of seeing any inappropriate content.

Amaze Kids covers a broad range of video genres from science to fun experiments, read-aloud stories to sing-along music videos, arts and crafts, sports, and much more.

And for the homeschoolers and educators out there, Amaze Kids is an easy, one stop resource for great, curated content that you can use in your lesson plans with Themed Playlists available across different age groups.

So far, Amaze Kids has been downloaded in over 65 countries, won an award in its 1st year and been rated 5 stars in an Independent Teacher Review.

We have had incredibly positive reactions from parents and teachers who love the wide range of topics featured.

You can download the app for free on the App Store and Play Store.

We would love for you to check it out and let us know what you think.

Many Thanks
Nanda
Only for applications that are well-behaved. Nixos doesn't enforce any of the isolation, which is something that disappointed me when I tried it the first time. If a program wants to mess up another program's private directory, they can do that without anything stopping it.

I then realised that having actual isolation was never even a goal of the project, so I've never bothered to look at Nixos after that.

The only project on Linux that provides a practical solution to this is Qubes OS. I use it, but there are limitations that prevents it from being used by a lot of people. The fact that applications don't have GPU support is a big one.

One may suggest Flatpak as well, and it's a good solution when using properly packaged software, but if I want to do development and use various tools without necessarily trusting all of them, Qubes OS is really the only way I can do that.
They hide a lot of os stuff from standard os tools. It's not Linux or Unix, it's Tim apple os.

Do you have sources other than known right-wing advocacy groups for these claims?

As a simple example the FEE article is nothing but random anecdotes, while the NR article does not have supporting data for the headline claim but tries to play a similar game by suggesting that opioid overdose deaths should be categorized as either suicides or suicide attempts. Articles attempting to manufacture a suicide problem related to the lockdown also tend to mix in 'suicide ideation' with suicide attempts, usually while ignoring the fact that surveys of such ideation have almost no depth to them and seem to be a recent invention to try to answer the undeniable fact that actual suicides have decreased.
Virtual memory, guessing here.
I don't think that's accurate; a quick (admittedly not rigorous) search suggests that human lifespans have approximately doubled in the last 500 years or so. (The modern Amish also don't currently live in a society with endemic smallpox.)

It also doesn't make sense: vaccines and antibiotics don't just protect infants.
