> Or am I completely misunderstanding something fundamental about Discord's voice rooms?

I think you are. Think back to messengers like ICQ or MSN, they had a group chat feature. It's like comparing that to IRC.

I personally use a separate mumble (and a teamspeak) server, instead of discord.
Can you define what "up front" means to you in this example? Homepage, privacy policy, user agreement, tweets?

I'm a farmer, not a teacher, so I can't answer this question as asked.

But I would speculate that of the set of people who bombed the class, they could fall into a number of buckets. E.g., one bucket is people who were mentally capable of learning the concepts, but were to lazy to put in the effort (then we can quibble about whether inherent laziness puts people into the "not capable" bucket). Another bucket is people for whom alternative learning environments might have brought them to understanding and a passing grade. Another bucket is people who just lacked the preliminary background and with a couple years of effort could be made to pass the class as it exists. And finally, another bucket is people who are genuinely incapable, regardless of environment, of understanding the concepts.

This shouldn't be surprising. I have tried to deeply understand quantum mechanics, and while I can parrot some of the most well-known and more simple concepts, I truly believe that I lack the capability of grasping the very core, deep insights in an intuitive way. I might pass undergraduate level classes in the topic, but I am fairly certain I couldn't achieve a PhD. I'm not the dumbest bulb in the shed, but I can see that there are people much, much brighter than I, and it is obvious that their ability to understand more advanced and deep concepts is greater than mine; This leads to the observation that of the set of understandable knowledge in the universe, some of it is available to some people but not available to me, no matter how hard I try. (I take solace in Feynman's quote, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.")

Then look at every human capability and its distribution across the universe of humans, and it's pretty clear that we all can't do everything, every one person has some cutoff beyond which they aren't capable of understanding in any given topic. For some people (and hey, maybe it's a really small slice of the population), that cutoff is somewhere before Calc II.

I very much want to use matrix over discord so I went and did a cursory check of all the desktop clients listed on the matrix website (again). It's unclear to me that any of the implement voice rooms at all? Am I missing something?
The HN title should really reflect this. It's a disputed paper.
"product-level user-facing documentation written by non-engineers" is at one end of the spectrum, and clearly wants to use a different tool (eg Adobe InDesign) with code comments written by engineers at the other. Problem is, how do you navigate everything else that's in-between, while minimizing strife from one side making demands (some reasonable, others not) to the other.

Where do your business critical spreadsheets go?
"Selling as many phones as possible" allows yearly upgrades, but instead of 10 different models per year they can sell 3 models per year with 3.3x sales of each model. I am looking at Samsung models on the market, they are close to 10, Apple has maybe 2 or 3.
You are right, I didn't teach low level math courses, but this brain washing is also precisely why I didn't understand math in high school. You cannot argue with this kind of definitions. Everything feels as if it was randomly defined by the teacher. This "intuition" simplifies teaching, but makes understanding harder.
It is like a game where you invent rules as you play. No student can win this game.
I would also add, before you argue that it's ineffective, please consider it in the context of its place in the "triple therapy". We use drug combinations to treat things like cancer and peptic ulcers because of synergies. My understanding is that the ivermectin and doxycycline help zinc to get into our cells and the zinc is what does the work to inhibit virus replication.
> You move the outer magnets by using the resistors to heat the their bimetallic strips. You move an out magnet back to its original position by letting it cool back down.

You are switching the resistors on and off with a pulse pattern that will look a whole lot like you're driving a stepper motor. That's what we call AC.

DC means that the voltage stays constant over time. AC means it changes. Switching DC on and off creates AC.
Thanks, more or less the reality check I was hoping for :)
Fake, refined, optimized, or over-produced.. it's all the same thing really.

With television, there are[were] a limited number of channels. Airtime was a scarce resource, and making a TV show cost money so the companies funding it wanted to make sure they got the best bang for their buck. So they had lots of experts tweaking every show to make sure it was juuust right. Little if anything was truly off-the-cusp. Seemingly impromptu conversations on talk shows are scripted and rehearsed. Too much money on the line for anything more casual. When less money is on the line, fewer people are involved and everything can be a lot more casual. Public access television is cruder but feels more authentic. Low budget art films can experiment more than big budget movies. The production of MST3K was casual and crude when it was on public access, but became serious business when they moved to Comedy Central.

A similar dynamic is in play on youtube. When a channel is just some rando uploading videos with little investment and little expectation of financial return, the content is generally cruder and quirkier. When a channel is run by a major corporation with lots of money on the line, lots of people involved in it, and high expectations for the reception, then everything is taken more seriously. Professional cameras, professional lighting, professional editing. It feels more like television because it is more like television.

This same overproduced aesthetic doesn't only come from corporations though; I think the dynamic is in play whenever the content producer has high expectations or aspirations. An individual creator working alone who has aspirations of becoming an "influencer" will put more effort into their content than somebody who has no expectations or aspirations for their content. Their content will become overproduced as a consequence of their lofty aspirations. Maybe tiktok inspires or nurtures these lofty aspirations more than youtube did in the early years.
So... you do not, in fact, have an answer to the question?
It can’t fix the problem that it reveals the ip address you’re connecting to though. Even if the sites you’re visiting are all on servers that virtual host heaps of other sites as well, it certainly narrows that haystack down to a handful of bits of hay with your bright shiny needle standing out in the middle.
Oh neat, I haven't seen this before. Can you explain more for the rest of us? I saw it can be a personal email server - but then it started talking about storing everything for me and I lost a bit of interest as that sounds like it's trying to do everything.

edit: for those curious, discussion on HN 3 years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18238581
In my experience growing up (in Asia) almost every city that created by a government saying "let's build a new shiny city in the middle of nowhere" was an utter flop at getting people to move in.

People have families, livelihoods, businesses, kids that need schools, grandparents that need care, friends, and emotional attachments to cultural things like food. "Shiny new buildings" are great to look for an hour but it gets old quickly. After that you start missing that noodle shack at the end of the street, the park the kids play in, and the sights and sounds of a bustling street market. Homes being 3X the price just because they are newly built, and a lack of jobs for both parents, doesn't help make people want to move, either.

Dunno about all that but it doesn't support inline code snippets. You've gotta use formatted text, which doesn't look good. Seems like an intern project at best.
I am somewhat confused by all of this. If mostly pension/mutual funds, social security, military, Medicaid, is buying our debt (as in Americans are buying its own debt? Very confused), aren’t we basically saying the economy can never have a serious prolonged correction? We’d all have to default on the debt we bought to give ourselves?

Really confused and scared here.
>I believe we've printed approximately 30% of our total money supply in the past ~2 years

Doesn't that money start disappearing as soon as the QE stops?
A problem is that lots of lower-education math instructors don't understand these concepts deeply themselves. I think it could be okay if these things were clearly framed as "true for the problems we're looking at, but not universal", but they were typically presented as universal by teachers who themselves don't know any better, and that really caught me up too.

Vine's an example of the beginning of great idea that wasn't taken to its full potential. There are significant key differences between vine and tiktok. There are three that come to mind.

Tiktok expanded allowed uploaded video duration up to 3 minutes.
The For You Page algorithm (which drives the content you see in the feed) is scarily impressive in how it can match the viewer with content they would most want to see.
Lastly, and probably most importantly (in my opinion) Tiktok fosters a home for a vast number of entertaining and informative content creators that give them an edge. Vine mostly went for entertainment in quick six second bursts.
> I honestly don't know what this "de-growth" thing is about, it sounds suspiciously like a slur invented to label any sustainable economy advocate so they stop messing up industry with rules about how much energy or resources you can waste.

I get this as an initial reaction but....why not just Google it before posting a lengthy comment based off of what it "sounds like"? As the sibling comments link shows, literally the first result for googling the term provides a long and detailed history of its proponents.

Abs the entire article is written from the perspective of someone concerned about sustainability (without thinking lower economic growth is a feasible path forward), which makes the assumption even more bizarre.
In that case, let them say "je ne sais quoi", which has a different meaning than "magical". Don't discount the effect of priming (how many times has Apple used "magic" in their product names or ad copy?). If they're trying to make a reference to the hoary old nerd quip, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", then I'd counter that it doesn't reach that threshold for me.
And you still need them because some services only provide sms verification.
All this means is that they're adept at parting fools from their money with "feel-good" marketing and such, to benefit their shareholders (those are their "real customers", not the consumers of their stuff), and to benefit themselves - huge bonuses etc., and have you seen their campus? That kind of opulence is on the same level as Trump's gold toilets.

It’s possible to structure the question to fit 30-45min. It’ll be pretty clear what level and experience a person has in doing api’s. If the json response is already laid out, parsing json can be an independent task from the network call. The point of the interview is to see if the person can reasonably code it, it doesn’t have to be production grade.
I still occasionally laugh at recalling how doors worked in Quake 2; if you made your own doors in the map editor it was possible to design some that would open up like normal doors but they would turn you to gibs if you were unfortunate to stand in their turning path.

Swift is not ready, but it's not for those reasons. The real problem is that Swift needs a hefty runtime and is fairly slow due to excessive ARC traffic, plus it has no way of recovering from memory exhaustion. So you can't really use it in the kernel, but it's perfectly fine for writing system frameworks and daemons.

You're gonna have a major problem trying to make friends as you get older then unless they're aware of this too.
How about enforce that vendors publish how long they will support the device and hold them to the promise. Consumers can then decide if they go with the vendor or device with the longer support timeline. If it's a real differentiator vendors will compete on support. I expect though that that won't happen because most consumers won't pay attention or simply don't care or need 7(!) years of support.
Our surveys show that most users use stable rust, with few using exclusively nightly.

Because it’s a job that pays that amount, I kind of expect their hiring process to select for the best. But it doesn’t. It selects for those with an abundance of time on their hands.
Correct me if I am wrong, but that doesn't seem to do the decryption on the yubikey itself. So the Yubikey wouldn't act as a portable air gapped system as in the case of, say, GPG.
Once you get far left or right enough there's not much difference for those in the middle. Both sides want to destroy their way of life.
Kinda accurate, but as soon as you realize that "tool" is basically another name for "library" it makes sense. Like OP replaced code with code at the end of the day, who cares if you call it "library" or "tool" or something else.
Here’s the definition of 2 using the standard construction with the Peano axioms. It’s the set containing 0 and 1. The number 1 is the set containing 0 and 0 exists by one of the axioms. It’s not something a person in intermediate algebra can understand. For one, the natural question then is, “what is a set?”. Whatever one does there has to be some brain washing in order to get started. This is unavoidable unless one thinks Principia Mathematica should be the starting point.
>Alternatively, doubling the battery voltage again to 1.5kV (and so halving the currents) might allow Hyundai to use more aluminium for the "wires", with a cost saving over copper.

This seems dubious, you're not going to be able to use aluminum for motor windings which is where the bulk of the copper in an EV is going to be. As for conductors between the battery, HV auxiliary devices, inverter, motor, charger, etc they could already use aluminum, it's not like they're space constrained on the gauge of cable between components. Aluminum is already more mass efficient than copper, you might need a thicker gauge to match the same resistance but that thicker aluminum is still lighter than copper and way cheaper. The problems with aluminum are oxidation and brittleness. Maybe eventually auto manufacturers will shift more towards aluminum bus bars between components with no relative movement but I don't see a big link here (haha, busbar puns) between ampacity and the choice between copper and aluminum.

Would you mind sharing your conclusions?

Though I don't know of any studies about algebra in particular, kids show greater neuroplasticity in general than adults. So learning anything as an adult tends to be more difficult.

But I live with an American who reasonably fluent in Norwegian after 2 years of study in their 30s. It's certainly not impossible.

I have no doubt that math, like virtually everything, is more difficult for adults to pick up from scratch.
Which are the two worlds it is the best of?

Not the regular merge, because the best of that world is that you have individual commits that you can reason about and bisect.

Unless your branch history is full of junk, unfinished commits, etc. But in that case the policy should be to not publish such branches (or at least only publish them as WIP / scratch branches which will get cleaned up properly and rebased before upstream merge).

> Do you mean "for the first time and without errors"? I assume that most people should be able to give an overview of how a merge-sort works, and a pseudocode implementation.

That’s fine if it’s relevant to the role. But my understanding is that a lot of those interviews, especially at the higher companies require you to get it right, quickly, without issue, under interview pressure. And if you don’t you probably won’t make it past that stage. Also don’t bother trying that stuff for typical CRUD roles at corps that won’t ever require anything those sort of skills, and yes that’s likely. I’ve been in environments where even if strong CS fundamentals could improve the product they won’t let you because it’s not a priority.
