The article is only publicity for Scholze, looks to me as a remake of the same thing done for Cedric Villani. Old boys games behind fresh faces, ok boomer stuff.
Seems interesting but can't watch an AD for a product that has other ADs in it. This is what we've come to, our commercials must have commercials in them.
We don't have kids but I see this kind of behavior with my wife regarding the dog. When he gets zoomies or very playful, she's likely to see this energetic behavior as "being bad" and not something to engage with. Not sure how extensible my anecdote is to other people's situations but it mirrors my understanding of the treatment of boys in a school setting.
I used to think Valve's approach to management (to essentially remove it) sounded like a great idea. But now it feels to me to be more of a curse than a blessing - there's a machine that prints money and what's the point of trying to kick off any project when no one has any real skin in the game and can abandon it when they get bored?
> Which books specifically of his are you speaking about?

How many of his ~70 books am I required to read before forming an opinion? I've read one and a half, the one being one of his "philosophical" books and the half being a more accessible political one. I'm confident that no one who has anyhting to say writes like that.

Give me Chomsky, give me Butler, give me Rorty. I don't have to agree to appreciate a thinker but I have to be convinced there's thinking going on.

> He himself has said that he makes a good slave, he just needs to know who his master is.

This clowning bullshit is a good reason not to take him seriously. Bad jokes are perhaps Zizek's greatest sin. I can forgive anyone almost anything if they're funny. But no, it's dud after dud.
Been using KDE native updater as much as command line. Couldn't spot any difference and it's as fast as cmd, never had any issues with it.
The point of school is not to produce geniuses, but to take a mass of illiterates and turn them into semi-literate persons, also giving them time to mature as human beings before they are allowed into university or work. If an 18 year old person can read, write, use basic math operations, know a few facts about the country they live in and speak in a way that doesn't require their fellow countrymen to use subtitles, we can call it a success. If they can say what time is it in a foreign language, they will end up in the school hall of fame.

As a plus, school may introduce people to topics that may interest them and then allow them to find their way in life: from playing an instrument, to gymnastics, to computer programming.

Grades are a fixation of the school system and of all those involved, but they don't measure knowledge accurately. Some companies may not hire you if you have low marks or studied in a less than prestigious school/university, but that has not necessarily anything to do with knowledge and is likely to have something to do with class segregation. So there's a point in making them up.

Vandalism being tolerated is instead a very serious issue the school should address.
Hi Peter.

With regards to the O-1 Visa, my understanding is that it's an art more than a science.

As a master of this art could you please provide resources on the O-1 visa and what are the must have?

Eg. Number of newspaper articles mentioning the founder and relevance of the publication?

> or missing a few assignments early in the semester.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. The authors of _Grading For Equity_ spoke at my school and the reasoning they gave for eliminating 0-grading (i.e., not using 0 as the lowest possible grade) was because it's basically impossible to recover from. Ideally, a student who masters the material by the end of class should get the same grade as one who masters it at the beginning; being fast or slow shouldn't factor into your grade, but with 0-grading, like you say, an early test or assignment can tank your final grade, even if your knowledge eventually catches up to what it should be.
As others point out, the discipline is called Human-Computer Interaction and has a rich history. The best example in the field might be work on Fitts’ Law, such as https://www.yorku.ca/mack/hhci2018.html

"Telemetry" such a innocent word. If they would write we record allmost everything you do on your computer and send that data to wherever we want to .. I doubt much would actually change, as MS office software is still mandatory in many places, but maybe there would be more awareness of it.
Bit of HN-relevant context: Knights is a text-based mobile game with an interesting concept behind it. https://egamebook.com/ describes that a bit more, and there was at least one frontpage HN submission for a demo project in the past, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15380024.

Game turned out very well, but it goes to show how hard it is to be successful in the mobile app space if you get those ratings and it's still not enough to be commercially viable.

The event bus pattern works great if you don't know (or want to know) what's going to happen to an event once it's emitted. If the only thing that happens is a different method in your app gets triggered, you should really just trigger that method and skip the event bus altogether.

You fire them and let them get a job where they can do something beneficial for society. There's more than enough work out there, hell just picking up trash would provide more value than they currently do.

For a forum consisting of tons of software developers, “being a part of the transition” is extremely ideal, given maybe of us would want to make our software available as soon as possible.

Even casual users might want to change immediately, because the new M1 chip unambiguously brings great value in certain respects (e.g., its battery life and dissipated heat).

Only folks who need their old setups replicated with some precision ought to wait, and that sounds like you.
For the mind of the average consumer, whose worldview has nearly been entirely shaped by the ideas presented in Hollywood movies, yes the narrative that Zizek presents through those same Hollywood movies can be entertaining and inspire a sense of understanding.
> Colleagues from programs where these moves happened earlier have pointed out what the results have been: kids wind up with stellar grade point averages and glowing recommendations, get into top colleges, and… drop out after about three weeks, saying that they feel like they’re years behind everyone else and don’t know what’s going on, because they are and they don’t.

There must a good way to describe this "school to life in debt" pipeline. Doing everything to get young people to go to college where they'll have to get a loan which the state will gladly guarantee, the college will take the money and debt collectors will be happy to setup decades long plans to get some interest back.
If true he should be praised for coming forward. I had six immigration lawyers that were totally screwing things up. At some point when doing first time meetup of a new lawyer I wanted to hire, I embarrassed him knowing more about basic Immigration laws that he did!

Majority of lawyers really dont care. They run a caging operation. If you call their office and you are not client, you will speak with head of the food chain, many times owner himself. One you get signed in, bye bye! Thats usually last time you hear from him/her - from now on you dealing with assistants. And immigration laws not only change often, but the USCIS will not comply with their own laws on many occasion. I dealt with enough government on average to tell you Immigration is sort of different because they serve aliens that have less rights than US citizens. For example IRS will treat you more seriously because on average 99% of their “clients” are USC, capable of calling their representative and stirring the pot. Average USCIS “client” is usally less powerful foreign citizen with maybe $500 savings. I was lucky to immigrate with nice saving cushion and took USCIS all the way to BIA (Board of Immigration) and basically embarrassed the whole local USCIS office, where BIA wrote completely shredding response, pointing out USCIS abuse of authority, lack of professionalism, and outright rudeness. In fact, even though my lawyer screw up so bad that there was no choice than actually start all over (with less chances of approval since now I have this spoiled milk spilled all over my alien number), the BIA went out of their way and told local office you will do X,Y,Z and if no issues arise you will approve this file. Something that's typically unheard of. Dealing with USCIS for 12 years to the cost of close to $100,000 I probably should have wrote a book by now. But its much worse than you can imagine, I can tell you this much.

Bottom line: get yourself local lawyer, small office type lawyer, preferably that worked in gov before. Believe me or not, when it comes to USCIS, its all about who you know. My last screwup was trying to get an update on the file (typical stalling technique is for USCIS to neither approve you nor deny, so you are in limbo for as long as YOU have the guts, time, energy AND money to continue "harassing" them for what's your right per INA) for close to two years.. meanwhile I went to this lawyer that used to work for the immigration office himself, and during our 30 minute call, he already emailed his buddy at USCIS and got back the ANSWER other lawyers couldn't get for years (!!).
Sorry, I tried to be clear that that scenario is an unrealistic ideal. Ideal in the sense of a spherical frictionless student in a vacuum with infinite funding as well as ideal in the sense of good. In that case one solution would be more teachers than students.

Unless/until we figure out a feasible way to make progress not the same pace for everyone, progress will have to be the same pace for everyone.

Colleges have a decent middle ground where if you fail this quarter, there are decent odds your class will be offered again before next year, especially for the earlier classes that really need stricter sequencing. But that’s only really feasible when you have that many students (not to mention tuition $$$).

This would be a really great experience but only for a small subset of EEs who make it into RF/Analog IC design. And even so, I'd much rather see strong fundamentals than tape out experience in a new college grad because the latter is much easier to teach than the former. In fact, with no prior tape out experience (but an MSEE), I was responsible for a couple of tape outs after only a year of experience at my first IC design job.
Great. I'll just add a minimum wage whatever department to scale up the number of employees.

So create many minimum wage US jobs, and highly paid jobs elsewhere.

Nice!

We need better Linux software support before that happens. As long as it's easier to develop on windows, it'll never happen. I'd love for windows to go the way horse, but for now Valve is hedging bets on a Frankenstein that is Linux. I'm being critical only cause I'm aware of the difficulties of working with Linux. It's great if your a CS person who likes tinkering. It's god awful when you just want your computer to work. Meaning not having to deal with drivers, deal with scaling issues, weird software bugs that require you to install something obscure and run 4 different commands to get that one thing to run. Linux has gotten better immensely over the past decade, but it's still not even in Windows 7 reliability category of use yet. Maybe if there wasn't 100+ distros or whatever and people just focused on getting a couple at the level of XP, we could see a lot wider of adoption. But I guess that's the allure of it.
"
Has there ever been a large company in IT that didn't turn absolutely evil as soon as the opportunity presented itself?"

I like nuances, though.
"absolute evil" is a bit strong.

There were companies who were engaged with enslaving people and working them to death. (some still are)

I am no fan of googles development, but absolute evil leaves no room to describe other companies who are actually worse.
Wouldn't it be pretty easy for Taiwan to cause irrevocable harm to China?

Why would you assume that they'll just sit around and be conquered?

Hong Kong didn't have a military - and even if they did - they share a border with China.

It wouldn't exactly be a walk in the park for China to get airplanes over Taiwan or to land boats for an invasion.

And if they tried, I can't see the world blaming Taiwan for blowing up the Three Gorges Dam - which for China would be literally catastrophic.

They aren't related at all, because the federal budget and revenues don't need to balance. They rarely ever do.

On the other hand, tax credits can be (but arent guaranteed to be). That is, if a tax credit incentivizes creating jobs that would not have existed (in the US) otherwise, those jobs end up also stimulating other economic activity. Tax incentives at the state level tend to be closer to zero sum (or a net loss) if the jobs would have been created anyway, or when thr incentives aren't strictly tied to quantifiable completion metrics like factory completion, number of positions filled, etc. (Much ado about Foxconn in Wisconsin, etc)

> How do you abolish desire?

1. Create fear of the thing that would otherwise be desired. Associate it with badness. This is a slow but relentless form of operant conditioning, which can be done entirely using words and stories.

2. Create substitute and symbolic objects of desire, in order to redirect effort. The purest of these is money.
JavaScript – What Are Closures
To clarify my position, I am not advocating for the situation not to be clarified. What I am advocating is that the resolution to be that pointer provenance be severely limited: roughly speaking, pointers casted to/from integers might alias and memory-based optimizations should not be permitted when two pointers have been converted to/from integers. I further claim that something like this is the only possible way to resolve the ambiguity that is consistent with the charter. Additionally, getting rid of pointer provenance (or equivalently: well-defining the behavior involved with various integer/pointer conversions) is the only way to, as you want, "minimize the amount of user code that is broken", because much user code assumes the integer/pointer conversion happens according to what TFA calls concrete semantics.

I dispute that there is a "need" for pointer provenance, so much as a desire on the part of compiler developers to honor the sunk cost of various optimizations that relied on particular interpretations of the ambiguity.
There is zero reason to eliminate the tab bar and combine it with the address bar. It's idiotic and there should at least be an option to undo it.

I have accidentally close more tabs than ever before - and that's with me actively being aware of it and trying to be careful. It's a HORRIBLE user design.

Ask HN: Why are some commenters' names green?
Autovectorization is done by the JIT compiler since forever. But even state of the art autovectorization is very finicky. What’s coming in Panama is an abstract API over SIMD instructions that will reliably compile to the corresponding instruction, while providing safe fallback in the form of serial for loop on platforms not providing the means. It is not behind in times, it will be ahead of most languages.
Copyright and patent laws make it near impossible except for a few thousand people.

The problem is that "learning style" is not a thing. There are good students and bad students, and there are students who can understand the material but lack the ability to sit still. So it's not like if you change "teaching styles" you will be able to get the slower student the same information as the faster student. The only way to do that is to do a disservice to the faster student.

What you can do, is create tracks so that everyone is challenged but not put in a hopeless in a situation, and the disruptive students you need to either expel so their parents handle them or put them into some kind of separate environment where they don't prevent others from learning.

That's going to result in large inequalities in outcomes because there are large inequalities in how fast students mature and what their learning capabilities are. Neither of these things -- student intelligence or student maturity -- is something that the teachers can influence.
Alternatively, it could emulate the entire system. Do you see this as a flaw?

A number of our 100k spikes spanned about a day, and a cluster of them seem to coincide with serious performance issues we have encountered. We "solved" the problem by increasing the instance size, but I'm starting to see spikes that get larger and larger, so I suspect we will run into this issue again. But now I have something to report on and watch out for. Thank you!
I live in Oregon, but grew up outside the state so fortunately I do know how to pump my own gas. One thing that has fascinated me is that our gas is no more expensive, and often cheaper, than surrounding states despite providing many jobs. One benefit of this system was shown recently when no truck beds or plastic bags were filled with gasoline.
