Public schools work well throughout the majority of the developed world - the US seems to be a notable exception.

Anand Giridharadas addresses this in his infamous google-talk quite nicely I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_zt3kGW1NM&t=623s (I'm linking this talk on HN way too often, but it just seems perfectly fitting so very often)
In the early 80s, assuming that programming was easy, and that there would soon be a surplus of programmers. My mom was teaching programming at a nearby community college, and her students were getting programming jobs after one year of instruction.

Still, I don't regret my career, and I get to do a lot of programming.

I think this is the defining distinction - if the child is disciplined or fails, who do the parents blame? If they blame the teacher or the system, you’re going to get bad outcomes on average as you’re removing the tools the teachers need.

The problem with this argument is that most large studios treat their workforce like trash. Any surplus profit they make is going to the executives and shareholders. The developers will be used up and discarded regardless.

It's also funny that you're upset about the guy pirating software (lifetime economic impact in 10s of thousands of dollars) but not the games publishers themselves who regularly dodge taxes - in some cases paying effectively negative tax rates[1] (lifetime impacts in the 10ss of millions of dollars if not more).

Hey Peter, I changed job before the 180 day period after filing I-485. I haven’t done the porting ac21 yet. Now I have another company which wants to hire me. Is it ok to take that role and file ac21 which effectively might put me in safe spot to continue my 485? The jobs are all of the same role snd same field. Just don’t want to restart the entire process so wanting to check if this is ok for gc and citizenship?

A lot has changed since then, college acceptance rates are plummeting and competition is absolutely cutthroat. I graduated ~10 years ago in an affluent Bay Area neighborhood and basically everyone took at least one SAT class, multiple practice test and many had coaches to help them with the entire admissions process.
Nope, that is not the only way. You have side effects. And you have the fact that the vaccine is still in test phase. What are the long term side effects, we don't know. And unless they are obvious we will never know, because vaccine are like a religion too many. You don't question a religion.
The other points are fine, but a 3 or 4-year old does not understand nuance or personal responsibility. I think that in general German society encourages a strong sense of personality responsibility as part of developing healthy children and adults, so kind of a weird thing to pick on.

What's implied here is 'is', i.e. "a bad law is no law."

The phrase seems to be a rehash of a quote from St Augustine: "lex iniusta non est lex" meaning "an injust law is not a law", which is more clear.

Pretending that the outcome for everyone should be college and a degree is part of the problem - admitting that outcomes may be different allows you to create different paths adjusted for abilities (think trade school instead of high school, etc). Forcing everyone into the same mold results in a broken mold.
Yes, and making it too expensive to import, and paying high wages results in high prices of finished products, which reduces purchasing power, and so increases poverty on the margin.
I know this as "callu de cabreddu", but it's the same thing:

https://guffantiformaggi.com/en/cheese/callu-de-crabettu/

And it's anything but weird. It's likely that this is how cheese was originally discovered: in the fourth stomach (the abomasum, the "true stomach") of an unweaned ruminant slaughtered for food.

The stomachs of unweaned ruminants are also the traditional source of rennet ("callu" means rennet and callu de cabreddu doubles as rennet). Why unweaned ruminants? Rennet is made of two proteolytic enzymes, chymosin and pepsin, that break apart milk proteins (specifically, caseins) by hydrolysis and cause them to coagulate and turn milk into curd. Chymosin has the strongest clotting power whereas pepsin has the strongest proteolytic power. Stronger proteolysis breaks proteins down into smaller peptides and amino acids and it turns out that those register to our sense of taste as bitterness.

Chymosin has strong clotting power at a pH of 6.2 to 6.4, close to that of fresh milk (around 6.8), whereas pepsin clots milk best at a pH of 1.7 to 2.3 which is way too acidic for cheese and basically impossible to get with the usual way to acidify milk for cheesemaking, fermentation of lactose by Lactic Acid Bacteria. LAB generally don't develop at a pH below 4.6 so I don't think milk can even get to the ideal pH for pepsin just from fermentation (pepsin is probably fine-tuned for the very acidic environment of a mammal's stomach).

So basically, to get the same clotting power with pepsin as with chymosin one would have to make a cheese so tangy and bitter that it would be inedible, if it could even be made in the first place.

Now, the age thing. Both chymosin and pepsin are produced in the stomachs of ruminants, young and old, but younger animals produce more chymosin while older animals produce more pepsin. I think it's something like 75/25% chymosin/pepsin for unweaned animals and the opposite for adults, I don't remember. So, to have maximum milk clotting power with slower proteolysis, and less chance of developing bitter tastes, you need to use the rennet from a young animal, preferrably one that hasn't yet eaten grass. It appears that eating grass is what triggers the mechanisms that start producing more pepsin than chymosin. Don't ask me why because I have no idea.
TOTP has always been a second password (heck, it's in the name). If you know the secret and the algorithm you can do the maths yourself in theory without needing any hardware, so in theory it can always be considered "something you know", even without all the syncing stuffs from Authy.

In any case I don't see how the Authy password can weaken TOTP. It's not like there's a webpage out there where you can enter the Authy password and it will give you back the TOTP secret for a specific user. It's only used to decrypt the TOTP secret if you choose to sync that secret to another new device, which again requires SMS verification, PLUS confirmation from an existing device, PLUS you need to have the sync capability setting enabled (so you can always sync the TOTP to your backup device first then disable the sync setting to prevent additional devices being synced).
When the numbers are accurately being tracked it seems to be the opposite to what you say.

What happened to Rubens for the movie theater incident was incredibly harsh, I think even for that era, but I just don't think that a show as deliberately weird as Peewee's Playhouse would be well received today by parents and cultural stewards.

I tend to agree. Money find a way.

But let’s me add some counter example for the sake of it.

here is public high school, with « famous »teacher and kids clearly coming from the wealthy élites.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyc%C3%A9e_Henri-IV

The trick is that the selection process is so stringent that you basically have to be :

- a genious in getting excellent grade according to the French system
or …
- have parents that coach you to get in there.

Here is another similar public high school.

Again, I mostly agree with you point. But dépending of the country, a private education can be seen of « bad taste »
8th graders are typically 12-13 years old, not 10 - 10 year olds are typically in the 6th and 7th grade.
Adding on:

Well educated parents are more likely to have the skills themselves to help with homework and are more likely to put more emphasis on academic performance.
Standardized and objective are not the same thing.

Strange, I was just thinking about this story yesterday...

The best stories are puzzles of neverending questions. I'm finally satisfied with most of my answers to Harrison Bergenon, but then I started wondering: when the weights are removed, why is the selection of dancers actually good? Wouldn't they be weighed down during their auditions too? And their practice and training? Why did it turn out that the dancers that remained are the highest skilled?

In any case, I'm pretty satisfied with my own answers to the Harrison Bergenon puzzle: yes, we should give people artistic, leadership, and engineering roles based on their merit. We should even reward those who can do these jobs at a high level. But maybe the difference in rewards doesn't need to be quite so enormous. So Jeff Bezos gets more money than I do, but maybe not 100,000 times as much money. Maybe just 100x is ok.
The teachers who choose A mostly have already left for private schools where they have a bit for flexibility at the cost of lower pay.
Not putting the hostname or something distinct in my shell prompt, at least on my machine.

I'm with you. Here's what it comes down to: I use an internet browser maximized, usually. All monitors are wider than they are tall. Thus, vertical screen real estate is at a higher premium than horizontal real estate. Thus, control/chrome elements of the operating system, browser, etc should minimize vertical pixel usage in favor of horizontal usage in order to allow content to assume as many pixels as possible. E.g, move the operating system application/task bar from the default bottom of the screen to the left or right, integrate the address bar and tabs into the same vertical pixels, etc.

The reality is, I've never seen anyone stay productive with more than 5 or 6 tabs, not to mention battery and CPU utilization issues. The brain can only multitask so much, and none of the browsers are good at managing more than, say, a dozen tabs, so why not reclaim some vertical real estate and drop that number to six or so? If you really need the extra tab space (or, to see the full web address at all times, which is even more strange), I think that should be behind a Preferences option. Safari's design makes sense to me.

Of course, Safari probably wont make it configurable, but I hope we see this design trend also happen in Firefox, and while I won't opt for it, lets make it opt-out.
Maybe page cache (the thing tmpfs relies on) doesn't do full copy when reallocation, but rather, roughly speaking, appends extra pages to some sort of linked list? It would explain why it's faster.

Given how rare this is, this is much more of a function of IQ than school quality. If you fill a school, regardless of quality, with smart kids, grades, ratings, other other benchmarks of quality will probably all go up.

I’m not sure if it’s the same kind of situation, but the Macedonian Wikipedia is absolutely rife with all kinds of nationalist pseudo-history and ethnic-based bias.

I think this is a problem for a lot of multilingual online platforms. On Facebook there are pages in Macedonian that constantly publish completely vile hateful material against Bulgarians, Greeks, and Albanians. These pages would absolutely be banned, except it seems that Facebook lacks the linguistic and cultural ability to understand what this content is and to do something about it.
Forbidding single-parent homes and demanding only one parent work would also improve outcomes but I doubt the political will for those can be found.
You're indirectly admitting that I'm right. The anti vaccine crowd is desperate for a non vaccine cure, because the vaccine is so incredibly effective their beliefs fall apart otherwise

> Next interesting point. Is giving a speech about how to treat a broken bone considered ‘practicing medicine’?

Regardless of whether it is, you can really tell the hypocrisy. Medicine is a vastly more protected profession than engineer. The article states about 80% of engineers nationwide work legally without a license. That would be unthinkable for any form of medical work.

And yet, there are vastly more people giving out medical advice without a license, and even performing all kinds of quack procedures like faith healing as replacement for medical science.

Some retired engineer talking about his profession while technically not having a license is an absolutely minuscule problem, if it even is one, compared to the reprehensible alternative medicine industry.

I'll make a deal with you: I'll agree to turn down speculative execution in hardware if

1) you can solve the VLIW scheduling problem, and

2) you transition the entire computing ecosystem to a JIT model.

These are the things we would need to claw back the performance we would lose through disabling speculation. You can look at speculation (I'm handwaving a lot here, bear with me) as the processor hardware dynamically recompiling your program code depending on observed behavior of the program. That's well and good and it gets us a huge performance boost.

You can, in principle, do the same thing in pure software. But every single attempt to do has ended in total algorithmic failure.

The last serious attempt I'm aware of to "drive" a uOP scheduler explicitly in software was Itanium, and that failed, in part, because compilers couldn't take advantage of the processor's instruction level parallelism. There's nothing in math or mathematics or computer science that forbids a magical compiler of the sort the Itanium people wanted to create. But nobody's made one. Your first task in your project of eliminating speculative execution is to solve this algorithmic problem.

But solving problem #1, while necessary, is insufficient. No static ahead-of-time compiler can adjust the compiled code depending on the actual execution history of the program. To really get back to speculative execution par, you have to give your already-magical compiler the ability to recompile code at runtime. That means turning everything into a JIT. Your /bin/ls would actually be LLVM bytecode, not machine code, and some runtime system would be responsible for dynamically generating the machine code and adjusting it depending on execution history. After all, that's what current superscalar CPUs do internally, transparently, all the time. This is problem #2.

Honestly, I think the world we'd create by solving both these problems would be a better world. I really don't like how we can't program the processor's speculation engine and uOP scheduler. I'd love to be able to do that.

But I don't think we can get there from where we are, so we're going to be stuck with speculation and hardware mitigation forever. Please, prove me wrong.
I don't think this research can come to any conclusion, we don't judge our parenting ways by how some animals or even some tribes in Africa are doing it. For us it is more relevant to judge it based on how good it is for our times and place. In my eyes it is very clear that fatherhood is important but that just by looking at what happens in societies with low rate of fatherhood, not because of this research.
Overcoming this 'mistake' is very hard. I have faced it many times. As long as I am an engineer on something it is never good-enough for me.

I am now trying a different approach that seems to work - the essence is that after some time to give up ownership of the code. I am involved in day-to-day dev decisions, but play more of the role of the Product-Manager - talk to potential customers for pilots, and define tight scopes so that the pilots and subsequent launches are successful.
A lack of education is one of the most pressing issues in western democracies. Reducing that doesn't look like a good idea to me.
But who decides it needs a license? Other licensed individuals? I would do a better job sticking to requirements than a lot of licensed engineers. It’s cheaper and easier for me to do all the work, and then hire a firm to say it passes requirements than getting said license. It gives me the freedom to engineer in any field I’m interested. I have previously done mechanical, electrical, structural, and medical engineering. How would a license help me? It’s waste years of my life, tons of money, jobs in don’t want, and at the end of it I can work in a field I may no longer want to be in.
Usurious student debt should be mandated at 0% interest and only paid back via a percentage of income. And such this would require it be issued by the state (as no company would want to) and you could tune it so that it would have to be paid back in 15 years (say) or be forgiven - and so offering it to people likely to end up in middling income jobs wouldn’t be worth while.

And make it so that if it doesn’t get paid back the college is the one out the money, too. And suddenly the problem solves itself quite quickly.
You should know better, come on, income is pretty much bullshit when it comes to the rich. They don't make "income" since that is taxed. This has been true since Leona Helmsley and Cheers with the CEO making 1$ per year. The rich have wealth.
