We've got to get to them before microsoft and google do. Teach Linux in schools and about the importance of FLOSS. In my school in California it was all windows in the 1990's and 2000's.
Nice! I guess, we need a legacy computing open university channel…
Go over the basics with him again, and again. I bet the teachers rushed him through fractions/percentages.

I was taught math, and was a C student through high school. I relearned everything I didn't know in high school, in one semester at a community college.

In math, you know the answer, or you don't understand how to get there. Math should be pass/fail. It's different than the other subjects.

I don't believe most of my grade/middle school American teachers (mine) truely understood what they were teaching.

Hi everyone, I hope you all doing well.
I have one question. This is my portfolio: https://www.marzoukdev.com/.
Do I have what it takes to land that first job?
Thanks in advance.

Responding to the PRC’s Destabilizing and Irresponsible Behavior in Cyberspace
I'm equating "product" with "revenue-generating product." A bit presumptuous, I know, (the objective of a company is to make money from those who buy its products and services, where products and services are something other than shares) but the article doesn't mention any source of revenue for the company.
Leaves and flowers are still mostly curvy. I can't think of anything soft that has straight lines meeting at sharp angles. Rigidity is physically necessary for maintaining that shape long term.

On the other side, you rarely see rocks with extended round parts meeting at sharp, concave angles. A lot if not most things that look like that are soft.

It's not a perfect correlation, but it does seem like a real one to me.
and yet they don't even support C++20.. not even modules

The paper in question was desk rejected. This isn’t a failure of peer review, it’s a clerical error.
Don't just test your backups. Make sure your automation can't clobber or tamper with your backups. This includes both local and disaster recovery sites. Give your pen-test team super-user privs on your automation and give them Amazon gift cards if they can tamper with your backups. If they can't mess with the backups, give the gift cards to whoever designed and hardened your infrastructure.
Yes, it's confusing, and a dictionary won't help, because it's religious jargon. Religious jargon, whether from a theistic or, currently, a non-theistic religion, is used to turn comments about nearly anything into declarations of faith.

When a single religion dominates academia, as has often been the case through the centuries, they can comment on anything, but it will always be expressed in the form of an argument for their institution's religious doctrines. Professors at Cambridge in the early 17th century were almost all puritans, so they could talk about chemistry experiments, but it would have to be presented as yet more proof of the glory of God and include some jab at popery.

In the religion of today's academies, they can choose to talk about Brontë family artifacts as being emblems of "white supremacy" that should be hidden or destroyed or public goods that need to be "decolonized" (opened and freely given to all), but either way, the jargon combines the opinion with the jab at "popery" required by their co-religionists.
Since this is being downvoted, maybe I should elaborate that it was unreal?

There are interesting Wikipedia articles on this topic: "Heritage language"

Is that really true from a statistical standpoint? It seems to me that running ten 20-person studies is different and less valuable than running a single 200 person study, because each of the 20-person studies has a much larger error range that you have to account for. But I'm also not good with stats.
Well that's a rather tightly qualified answer.
What is the audience for this lightweight framework you have in mind? Devs supporting server-rendered sites with minimal JavaScript?

In that scenario I can understand how the build step could introduce complexity, but I'm a bit surprised to see Svelte lumped in with the others simply because it introduces a compiler. If size is a concern, it's hard to beat Svelte emitting framework-less vanilla JavaScript (whether as a complete single-page app, or as piece-meal components you sprinkle throughout a more minimal site).
You get old enough, and you get tired of somebody else making decisions from afar that affect your day to day life with no real consequences to them.

Little things like the kitchen layout being moronic and having zero drawers get old when it isn't your choice to remodel or live with it.

And while it's nice to say "just move", let's not forget that moving costs a couple months rent and a massive time investment to find a place to move to that's actually better.

And then your current landlord gets some shitheel realtor to rent the place who repeatedly tries to schedule showings on an hour's notice.

I'm pretty convinced most people buy because they're either tired of the bullshit that comes with renting or want to buy into a specific school district, not because they're worried about making a return on their investment.
I lose many of my bets.
Not only simple browser plugins per the other reply (and a plethora of non-crashing mobile apps, whereas mobile PDF reading apps crash on me all the time) - the ePub format is just a zip file in disguise with plain text (HTML) inside and maybe some images/etc.

In a manner of speaking, ePub as a design has an inherent built-in fallback mechanism to manually obtain the internal content in case of failure - including ability to try and repair a broken zip format (zip -F/-FF) and grep it in place (zipgrep).
HTML can easily be offline-able.

Sure - if the publisher cares. From the user's standpoint, the safe assumption is that they don't. Of course PDF is No Good for many contexts, but for any sort of long-form document that is primarily meant to be read, it's so often better.

Also, if something is available in pdf, I can be moderately sure that someone else took the time to make sure it would be formatted correctly and print out OK.* If it only exists in HTML it's more of a roulette wheel experience.

* Unless some graphic designer thought 'gee this report would look so cool if the cover pages were black or some other highly saturated block of solid color.'

Why would you assume it's to rent a house? It's a great time to be an apartment renter in big markets like NYC. I just got 2 months free on my lease renewal and I've seen even better deals out there but I didn't want to move.
> Meth, weird to me, doesn't appear to be a big priority and it's huge in organized crime. Opiates are the villain of today

From everything that I've seen, opioids are the worst, by far. Highest addiction potential, physical withdrawal symptoms, low therapeutic index (easy to overdose), dangerous route of administration (injection), and ultra-potent substances like fentanyl make it even worse.

Meth is bad, crack cocaine is bad, but opioids are worse. The only drug that can compete in harm to society is alcohol, but only because of sheer numbers.
In addition prior to webassembly there were asm.js + emscripten based Python ports. With mostly the same properties as the wasm based ones.
Singapore Math & Prodigy are good recommendations. I'd also add IXL, Beast Academy, AOPS & RSM to the mix.

Our public school here in Indiana was training middle schoolers for the Math Bowl statewide competition. I spoke to one of the teachers at the school and volunteered to help. She handed me a bunch of math problems. I quickly hacked up a web app to help the students train. Imagine my shock & surprise when a month later, our humble public school team took home the first prize[1], in a tournament that had some 300+ schools, many of which had private coaches. Congressmen from Indianapolis drove down to our little town to hand over the trophy & plaques!

Since then, I do a weekly zoom session with those middle schoolers, sort of a Summer Math program. We work through AMC 8/10 problems & finish up with a friendly competition on the web app so I can track their progress.

I believe competition math can be a lot of fun if taught well.

While I agree with the sentiment, anyone on long term medication needs regular monitors by a doctor anyway. If you are only 25 this won't make sense, but by the time you get to 50 you need regular checkups for lots of things that are best caught early. I've lost enough family to colon cancer (spouse of a second cousin - can I even claim him as family?), and several others are only alive now because their cancer was caught in time. Then there is heart problems which again are best treated before the heart attack (if possible) - I just named the two most common killers of old people that you can be sure is in your family and coming to get you in the future (I know of exceptions - genetic disorders that will kill at 50 or so), but regular doctors visit can hold off.
'Symbolism' is a terrible word to describe something like this. Symbols are convention and can change. This is the opposite - an innate cross-sensory connection that will not change.
I felt the exact same way, I bought because I had a few rental properties in a row that would take us in, then kick us after the minimum contract length. Nothing to do with us, just selling, renovating and driving up rent etc.

I got so sick of moving a family with an energetic one year old, I just recently purchased a place. Now my extended family has come to help on the house and I’ve found the work surprisingly pleasing(where I felt I have always hated this type of work).

After so many years moving pixels around on a screen, physical work with a group of people is just, nice.

But that’s just me, I’m sure you very well might still hate it but I was pleasantly surprised.
But if you go with 3% down, add pmi to your monthly payment and it's going to be tough to be in the same ballpark as a rental.

Example: 377k home, 3% down is a $1461 payment; the $673 of equity you build each month is offset by $300 of pmi (not tax deductible). To sell will cost 6% (~24k if it appreciates to 400k). The likelihood of this being > rent of a equivalent home or leaving you underwater in 3 years is high.
Not all offers are going to be all cash. People still buy homes putting down 5% or less in these hot markets, even if its not as common.
> I agree, some of the trials have issues. But if you would like to cherry pick one trial and use that as evidence to the contrary, I will direct the reader to a firehose of ivermectin studies, which the reader can evaluate on their own:

Surely the point of the OP's post is that the reader can't evaluate these studies on their own. At least not without undertaking the kind of review and background research that is not reasonable for even the expert reader.

Not to mention the irony of accusing the GP of cherry-picking when the site you linked is a cherry-picked list of trials curated by anonymous alleged HCWs.
You could run a serviceable Linux console on 4MB RAM back then. X11 was also doable though it would be swapping heavily with less than 8MB.

Nowadays it would be more practical to add ESP32 support to uClinux and skip the unnecessary performance hit of the VM.
Good points, but there's another wrinkle. If a company pays a research institution to do a fraudulent study, the research institution risks losing their status as a reputable research outfit, and thereby loses a multiple of that as other companies avoid funding them.

A prestigious reputation is like glass - easy to break, very hard to put back together.

You'd think this would work with government funding, too. But it appears it does not. It could be because one's "reputation" is based on how many papers are published and how many cites. This is like rating a programmer on how many lines of code written.

It is not a measure of quality at all.
Just about the same happens every time I am asked about why do we need microservices or TDD.

Because if I went to say that most projects need neither I would probably never get any job.
> In my school in California it was all windows in the 1990's and 2000's.

Yeah, it was that way even before that. Microsoft and Apple got into a "donation war" tryin'a get their corporate garbage into schools back when I was a kid. Looks like Microsoft largely won that war. Hard to fight multiple generations deep corporate brainwashing.
Buying isn't any better with sales going to all-cash buyers who are paying way above and beyond market.

If that's the price houses are selling for, that is the market price.
As more of a layperson, I have mixed feelings. As science journalism goes, it's excellent, but reading this sort of frontier news feels like a waste of time to me now. I only really found out that progress is being made in fields I don't understand. I bothered to check this article out because multiple people posted that it's very good, but the time I spent reading it would've been better put into getting a little bit more real understanding of old related discoveries like the unsolvability of the quintic, which is within reach at my level.
There is a tradeoff between the cost of introducing another component, and the advantages of a perfect component.

If you already have an ACID database at hand, and your queue requirements are not that big, using the database and NOT having to have someone around who knows exactly how Rabbit MQ was set up is better than to require everyone around you to know the piece of specialized software that you happen to be a domain expert on.

Conversely if your needs are demanding enough, then it is best not to let your team discover the hard way why people build dedicated queueing systems.

If you are unable to accept that this tradeoff even exists, then I wouldn't want to be your team lead.
Sure, but macros in other languages are hygienic rather than copy-paste systems, and are therefore much safer (and easier to use for complex use cases, although the C preprocessor might be easier for really simple cases).
Only MSVC has complete C++20 support. GCC and Clang are not all the way there yet.
The determination of whether to buy the house is based on the calculated rate of return. So even if you make a profit, if the time horizon is large you’d be better off investing that money in stocks.

The UI doesn’t make that clear enough.
That would take a bit more effort to do species identification but it would be very cool! I kept this project pretty simple with just using object detection. So "if (detectedObject.type == 'bird') ..."
> Probably want to allow for the possibility of rent rises over time.

Isn't that counting inflation twice?
Source on it not creating money? Where I've worked, they had recommendations (for shows and movies) and we definitely were paid for showing them. Companies would pay us for priority, direct buy of a slot or to get certain keywords/demographics. They were really no different from ad slots at the end of the day. Only difference was that there was a small, but unlikely chance, someone that didn't pay could have been promoted.

Given this is Google's business, I'd find it hard to believe that they would market other products without a financial incentive (whether through a cut of the sale through the play store or direct payment for displaying the recommendation).
Probably not intentional. The HN filter drops quotes on single words (editing them will restore it).
Received a rejection letter 6 months after application, I forgot I had applied.
The "y to CSS" part would still be there - even with WebAssembly, your UI options are still pretty much the DOM (great for documents and form entry, not so great for applications) or canvas (too low level and loses platform consistency, accessibility, usability, really every affordance of an operating system).
In North American lingo, "apartment" exclusively means a multi-family unit that you rent and don't own. If you own a multi-family unit it is a Condo (condominium) and never refered to as an Apartment. I know, confusing.
What I want to know is how does this issue impact the notion that we all seem to buy into that we should "follow the science".

Scientists themselves have a hard time "following the science". Add to it the observation that when an issue is getting lots of attention outside of academia, then there are usually some really strong incentives (profit, prestige) associated with doing the science and applying it (e.g., epidemiological science during a global pandemic).

The question seems not to be about how can normal people "follow the science" but rather, why should normal people trust at all that any touted science is anything more than bullshit spouted by highly-motivated sophists?
Here is the opportunity for someone to create some sort of marketplace where those two groups can sell tests to each other.
Sometimes if I'm researching a topic I'll dig up a big number of newspaper articles and want to print them and read them away from the screen while scribbling notes etc, but on a lot of websites banner ads or footers with copyright statements can really mess it up.
We aren't in the 1970's. It's cheap and easy to do dragnet surveillance, and it costs a fraction of a cent to store text communications and to perform speech-to-text on audio and video.

You don't have to be interesting, you just need to exist to be caught up in the dragnet.

These problems aren't current or modernized. There's no way a bottle with a cork in problem #2 costs 10 kopek.

They probably come from time when 0.5 kopek was the smallest coin.

Although a lot of computer books in the last couple decades have bought into the model of “let’s teach the language through building a project” structures which often means that they skip key stuff or shoe-horn it into the project in ways that don’t make sense.
Key features in this release include:

1. TLS inspection: Azure Firewall Premium terminates outbound and east-west transport layer security (TLS) connections. Inbound TLS inspection is supported in conjunction with Azure Application Gateway allowing end-to-end encryption. Azure Firewall performs the required value-added security functions and re-encrypts the traffic which is sent to the original destination.

2. IDPS: Azure Firewall Premium provides signature-based intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) to allow rapid detection of attacks by looking for specific patterns, such as byte sequences in network traffic or known malicious instruction sequences used by malware.

3. Web categories: Allows administrators to filter outbound user access to the internet based on categories (for example, social networking, search engines, gambling, and so on), reducing the time spent on managing individual fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and URLs. This capability is also available for Azure Firewall Standard based on FQDNs only.

4. URL filtering: Allow administrators to filter outbound access to specific URLs, not just FQDNs. This capability works for both plain text and encrypted traffic if TLS inspection is enabled.
The point of a calculator is to check this. If you could have invested more money in retirement account because you are renting you might end up ahead.
Darktable releases major update to version 3.6 – and it's accessible
Math is a skill, just like playing an instrument. Just like an instrument, if you don't practice regularly you lose the skill. People have no problem accepting this when it comes to a musical instrument, but for some some reason our schools seem to teach people that math doesn't require ongoing practice.

As for being presented as "the most important thing" - well for students it is one of the most important things at that time in their lives because it opens so many career paths.

But once you are out of school and on a career path that doesn't require math (or requires just certain subset of math) it really isn't important anymore.

This is just like music. If you hope of become a professional musician mastering your instrument and music theory is pretty much the most important thing it the world for you. But if you end up becoming a programmer and don't play for 20 years - you can't pick it up and play without a lot of practice and catch up - and nobody is surprised by that.

We need to teach math a little more like we teach music.
And in the end, it's basically safe PEEK and POKE.
why don't we have both?
The line would be "considered good/considered bad" I think. It's fuzzy, but saying something is "a money-making tourist attraction" is usually passing a different value judgement compared to "a museum".
