> I finally understood calculus after taking introduction to real analysis,

Real analysis is the version of these things taught to math students, rather than the (often mostly service) version that is taught for other programs (engineering, physics, etc.) that need calculus. It is unfortunate that many programs are structured so you can't even see this before surviving the standard 1st year calc progression, especially at large universities.

How math-oriented or not a particular program is varies obviously, but it's pretty common to see this distinction. When I was an undergraduate, entry to the honors math program ignored all calculus classes and results entirely (if I recall correctly, it was based on having a 1st class standing in linear and modern algebra courses). I think was entirely possible to complete a math major with little or no calculus at all.

Yes, money makes stuff easier. I don't think anybody is disputing that.

But you can be in a great school district with parents who think education is pointless, and in a shit school district with parents who think (know) it's one of the only ways out, and the former will underperform the latter all things being equal.

And this isn't as simple as "dump more money on shitty schools and they'll become great." There are plenty of examples of poor areas with higher per-capita student spending than more well-off areas, and the schools burning giant piles are money are still worse.
If you’re not careful, this stance is a really good way to never start anything.
> The CIA corrupts democratic elections in Italy, where Italian communists threaten to win the elections

Italian here. In a democracy you don't "threaten to win" the elections. You win or not according to the will of the peple.

I never vote Partito Comunista but I'd rather have any party win legitimate elections and have legitimate power until next elections rather than... secret services from another country undermining democracy.

Also CIA did WORSE than beating up people and infiltrating parties: they supported terrorist groups that exploded bombs around Italy in 70 and 80ies.
I don't think climate change is a research problem. The key solutions to it are known but just require political will to do what needs to be done and bear the short-term disadvantages; but that doesn't seem plausible (and, arguably, if politicians just went ahead with major sacrifices to fight climate change, their voters would throw them out and replace with other politicians who keep the current policies), and research isn't going to change that.

If you work at AWS, you should consider quitting. If you are applying to jobs, you should skip Amazon. AWS are the CIA's sysadmins.

All you've posted are typical Internet rants of emotion and exaggeration, which not only are empty of any argument, they shut down the flow of knowledge and understanding. If you are unhappy with journalism, I can't imagine how people ranting on the Internet is better? I'm sure you have something substantive to say.

>> Most parametric CAD operations are single-threaded; however, the open-source project SolveSpace [solvespace.com], which uses NURBS (nonuniform rational basis splines), has some parallel operations.

Current Solvespace maintainer here if you have questions on that. I did most of the work on making NURBS boolean operations use OpenMP for parallel operations. The code is highly functional, so that was mostly adding the appropriate #pragmas, but some things needed fixes, and some required tricky critical sections.

It's a statistical reality that if your parents don't value education, and don't impress upon their children its importance, that those children are incredibly unlikely to decide completely on their own that education is the way out of their impoverished lives.

Honestly, this is the equivalent of Google's web crawler. You may not have signed up to have your website indexed by Google's search engine, but it would be impractical and completely unreasonable for Google to have an opt-in web index. Any reasonable person understands that wifi network names are publicly viewable, because it is extremely common to view a list of nearby SSIDs; one need not be a technical expert of any kind to understand that. If you are concerned about the privacy of your wifi beacons you have many options to avoid others receiving the beacons, the most obvious being to not use wifi.

Google should be given credit for offerring an opt-out -- they had zero obligation to do so and there is zero expectation of privacy in this case (it is no different from collecting a database of street addresses -- anyone can drive down a street and write down all the house addresses, and nobody has a right to object to that).

Unfortunately no. Not even with the 3rd party modifications. Though there are some full GUI linux installs iirc.

It's a common question in the community Discord, and the official patches have been accelerating and implementing a lot of long-asked-for features (e.g. pinch to zoom), but nobody really knows what's on their roadmap. So hard to say if it'll ever get side-by-side.
What this really means is that decades old nicks and channels are completely wiped out! For example, my own 15 year nick is gone. A 150 member channel I used to operate for 14 years is also gone. All the nicks and other channels I was familiar with are also gone. I am not going to bother registering my nick and channel there again! Not worth it. Moved on to Libera Chat already and there is nothing left on Freenode to care about it anymore.
"Nested layouts" just sounds like nested React components.

React is kinda weird… you have to do subcomponents the "React way" and I think a lot of folks struggle with that; it can feel like fighting. But I don't think Next makes that any easier or harder.

I don't know what you mean by "nested routes." Routes are just URLs that map to files. You can create a directory with files, and, uh, subdirectories with files, if you want…?

Rape is sex without consent.

If you have sex with someone because you think you're in love with them and they're in love with you, but in fact they're not who you thought they were but they're just putting on an act, don't love you, and are using you then it's most definitely rape because you haven't given consent to have sex with someone you don't actually know and who's deceiving you in the most despicable way.
Not every country has yielded control of their top-level of government to their intelligence wing(Bushes, Clinton, Obama and their teams all have ties), nor do other countries have the operational resources to conduct as far-reaching activities as the US.

No other country purposefully develops the types of technologies and techniques that we engage with to monitor and affect global power structures.

No other country develops propaganda networks (Radio Free ___) like we do, in order to corrode the trust of non-US citizens towards their governments. We literally have to invent stories of "Russian hacking" and "Russian interference" to try and conjure up some parity.

Don't try and make false equations. We are not like the world. We may possess the same apparatuses, but we use them as the devil would.
I don't think the two are so analogous. A problem with placing a high value on finding exact closed forms for integrations is that it encourages behaviour like the drunk looking across the street from where he lost his key because that is where the streetlight is. Most integrations just don't have closed solutions and we have to live with that fact.

Bayesian statistics has been liberated by the ability to perform many dimensional integrations on the kind of likelihood functions appropriate for the problem, where before the advent of modern computational techniques Bayesian statistics had a reputation for concentrating on artificial problems that we happened to know how to solve.
> The effects of pulling out a notepad and jotting notes are markedly different than pulling out a phone or tablet- especially in a conversation or meeting. IME a phone signals disengagement

This! It matters even if you are paying attention; in this day and age pulling a phone strongly signals disengagement. Even if you're actually the most attentive note taker, the rest of the attendees don't know this... and once one person signals disinterest, many will follow. It's like you're "giving them permission" to stop paying attention.
The ‘least available’ app in their analysis is unavailable in most regions, including places like Germany, Sweden and Denmark, which I don’t think is due to any kind of censorship from those governments.
I do not know what GP is short for, apologies if I'm missing your point in my reply.

One, if not the most important part of semver is communicating the nature of the changes, and in particular, how that change affects the use.

I once used a library/tool that would detect vulnerabilities. The maintainers thought it would be a good idea to turn it in to a paid service, and a minor version upgrade caused it to fail silently due to lack of a token. When I noticed it by coincidence, I raised the issue of it not being communicated properly, and they said they had made every effort at raising awareness about the change through blog posts, twitter, etc. However, few people really subscribe or follow this kind of feeds. The change that came as an increment in minor version had IMO broken semantic versioning. If it instead had been followed, it would have communicated exactly that some care when upgrading was necessary, and allowed the API consumers to upgrade at their own leisure.
Right, BSSID (i.e. the MAC address of the router's WiFi interface) of an access point, unlike a client, needs to be remain consistent. But that's irrelevant to the threat model I was replying to.

J Concepts in SuperCollider
So true! When my girlfriend had surgery a few years there were several occasions where the hospital sent a bill for things that never had happened. She called and every time they basically said "Oops. We'll take it off". And at least once they sent the same claim again a while later.

It's hard to imagine any other industry getting away with that behavior.

Another thing is the insane markups. The surgery my girlfriend was getting was about implanting a device my company is producing. I asked around in my company and after a while got told that our device costs usually around 30000. Looking at the bill the hospital charged 80000 and the insurance paid it.

American hospitals and health insurance are a ripoff and fraud on a gigantic scale and it's shocking that they are getting away with it. The whole system is so corrupt I don't think it can be salvaged.

Hi Aaron - are you using VSCode for the IDE? How is this similar to/different from say, Gitpod?
yep - I second this. There's definitely a lurking thought about what'd happen if you're sick they find something or what happens if your landlord decides he doesn't want to rent your apartment any more, and now you have to move to a new neighborhood that's 30 minutes further away from work and less safe, or, god forbid if I had kids, in a worse district, etc. etc.

I've been working at a high level for 15 years now and I feel like I'm just barely making it out of the swamp. I have no psychological safety because a single bad decision or an incident of bad luck could completely derail my life.
>No, just in the interest of promoting a varied selection of ideological opinions and in support of the search for truth.

I get that, makes sense. I don't think what the gp said was consistent with that, though.

I think that if your goal is to boost the viewpoint that the USA should be an example of a country no one else should aspire to be while also attempting to support the search for truth, hypocrisy shouldn't really play into it much, unless of course that is the sole reason you find the actions of the US distasteful. For me, whether you killed people and then pretended it was for the greater good or just killed them, the chief crime is murder, not lying about it.

The reasons not to aspire to be like the US are the same as the reasons not to aspire to be like the UK, France, Spain, Russia etc. Highlighting them as unique to the US wouldn't appear to improve the varied selection of ideological opinions (a lot of people already don't like the US) and certainly doesn't improve the level of truth present. I'd also argue that doing so would be playing into a different type of the same exceptionalism.

Nationalist exceptionalism created a foundation for the US to do things nobody had done before. Unfortunately, the US also did things a lot of countries had done before and it should definitely be noted that those things are not exceptional nor are they particularly good for the idealized nation.
I didn't say I was hoping for anything, just mentioning my observations.

What do you think the main reasons for this are? Are you in a super high cost of living area?
It seems like broadly speaking everyone has just been stressed here for a few years. Not stressed about work? How about healthcare? Or the economy? Or one of many social topics? Maybe political disagreements with your family members? How about some looming climate related topic? The whole country feels stressed out for one reason or another and it’s gotten noticeably worse over the last decade. The title could very well replace “US Workers” with “Americans” and probably be just as accurate.

Baseball banned the spitball for many reasons, but the main one was to increase home runs (Babe Ruth was proving to be pretty popular.) Another reason given reason, which I only give partial merit to, is because of the Spanish Flu Epidemic in 1918 and the lack of sanitary for the "unsanitary pitch".

It was banned in two steps. In 1920, players could assigned up to two pitchers to throw the spitball. After that season, 14 players were grandfathered in and allow to continue throwing a spitball. Burleigh Grimes threw the last legal spitball in 1934.

Carl May threw a pitch that killed Ray Chapmen in 1920, which the spitball rules still allowed teams to have spitballers. May was generally a wild pitcher, in fact he had hit Chapman's teammate, and manager, Tris Speaker in the head in 1918. May's claim was Chapman was crowding the plate, He throw a high inside fastball, that his May's teammates claim was a strike, to brush him off the plate. It was an unwritten rule about brush back pitches that lead to Chapman's death. Chapman's death had nothing to do with getting the spitball getting banned.

Rivera was the best pitcher I have seen in throwing a cutter. His long fingers let me get unique grip on it.

The problem that MLB didn't see was that my providing information about spin rates, pitchers would be able to start experimenting, see results, and adjust.
I just queried my home ssid on there. I thought it was a pretty unique pun, but 216 other access points have the same ssid. If my phone was probing for it then you could narrow me down quite a bit, but you would need more than that.

What finally made calculus click for me was my class in Numerical Mathematics where I actually wrote programs to take derivatives. Also because of that course, functions became familiar, fun, and easy to rearrange. It was life changing.
Likewise, I've found it great at allowing you to embed complex logic into dumb content.

What we needed was convention to deliver static content easily without needing to build it ourselves. But we also needed it to stay out of the way of our business logic. Overall, Next has done a stellar job of that. It allows us to build the stuff that matters to us while leaving what Next is great at to Next and its maintainers.

The vercel platform has also been great for us when staging deployments. It's a little slow, but the integration and ease of use again lets us focus on our own business. I don't care to build out staging infrastructure for mostly static content. It's well within everyone's ability on this team, but it's time consuming in investment and maintenance. Recouping that cost is what Next has been great for, from end to end.
