I am part of this increase, and after a full year homeschooling we will not be sending our kids back to traditional school. What we noticed is that our kids weren't actually learning, they were being pushed through a program so they could pass a test with very little concern about where that would leave them in the future. This was most apparent in math, where foundational concepts were being rushed just to cover the full syllabus and in future years the foundations of computation were not really well covered and when we started to put them though our math program of choice ( Saxon math ) it was really clear they didn't understand the concepts ( for instance, given a word problem there was no real ability to write down the equation, even though they had been taught that material in the past ). It wasn't just math, it was every topic, and it was really apparent as we started to actually evaluate what they knew. As time goes by I am really struggling to see any benefit of the traditional model except for keeping kids busy so their parents can work. Giving kids the individual attention and tailoring the schoolwork for them its just so much better and able to actually instruct the children.

I would much rather live a simpler life in a place with a low cost of living, than require a two income household and offload the education of my children to a system that doesn't particularly care about them being educated.
I wonder now much C++ matters here. I rarely reach for functional patterns when the language I'm using does not provide proper constructs for readable, declarative code like pattern matching, nominative discriminated unions, and pipe operators.

Sure, you can fake all that with other constructs or patterns. But then it really does feel more like a puzzle.

IMO, good FP is good when it is maximally declarative and organized in the linear way in which humans reason best.

Maybe the author should try F# or OCaml instead of Haskell! I love FP and have also tried and hated Haskell three or four times.
That's not an offer to give ground to them in any material way. The next sentence says "the PostgreSQL Core Team and PGCAC will pursue all options until" the land-grabbing group surrenders all their land-grab claims.

That's just saying: we hope they'll recognize that what they're doing doesn't make any sense, and give it up rather than pursue a fight all the way through the legal process.
I was homeschooled. I played soccer throughout highschool for the homeschool soccer team, played in a youth orchestra, took classes at a homeschool co-op and then local community college. My family also did a lot with our local church. Once I graduated and went to a 4 year university I definitely liked the increased social interaction, but I had plenty in high school.

Fun fact: Xavier Niel, founder of Scaleway, is a cataphile and used to hang out in Paris' catacombs quite a bit back in the day. Apparently he even enjoys a private access to the catacombs from the basement of the building he lives in.
Ah. I didn’t get the impression from the article that $5k was unreasonable, other than that the price should come down as technical mastery spreads to more independent shops.
When I was doing my capstone for BSEE back in 1978, I was making an IC that would play music (ooohhh weee, ok it was a long time ago). But I had very limited die space for rom, but I was taking a Music Appreciation class (supposed easy A to fulfill the liberal arts requirement). So I told my Music prof about my project and explained I had very little memory on the chip and could he recommend something.

He got it immediately and he recommended I check into Bach especially Fugues, that's when I found our that scary music they played in movies was Bach Toccata Fugue in D minor. Fugues are perfect because everything repeats just in different keys or paces. So I was able to cram it into 256B of ROM (well enough of it for everyone to get what song it was).

That's when I first fell in love with Bach.

Álvaro: what is your rationale for doing this? If you just want to strengthen the postgres community, just be a part of it then use your company and foundation to promote it. Why the need to own trademarks?

It seems like you have some other reasons to do this? Have you had trouble using the postgres trademarks in something you've been trying to do? Have you had trouble with the existing governance structure?

In your posts you bring up a lot of hypotheticals, about how postgres claims to be something but is allegedly not that (through its legal structure). Why is there a need to change that? Other than theory.

People who have non-COVID life-threatening emergencies are already being turned away because the beds are already full.

Ultimately this is part and parcel of our privatized medical system where there were way more hospital beds per capita in the 70s/80s than today while costs have gone through the roof.
Changing votes won't solve the problem in America's two-party system. It needs serious election reform not just in donations but also in how the election works.
You can read Github without creating an account. You can't do that with Discord and it's becoming harder with Twitter. Discourse forums can be read without an account too. I agree that we should be careful of Github too.
There was a fair amount of software written for DOS that never made the jump to Windows (or any other OS) and some combination of hasn't been economically viable to redevelop and/or people just really liked the way the DOS app worked.

One common use case was control/monitoring software for some specialized piece of external hardware such as test/measurement equipment, security, HVAC etc. Much of this has modern substitutes available on current platforms, but it requires replacing the hardware as well as the software. Given that people paid 5+ figures for this stuff back in the day and if it still works, might as well keep using it until the wheels come off.
He is far from the only case of the rich getting differential treatment under the law. These stories are really a dime a dozen. How about this case of a rich boy from the affluent suburbs of LA (palos verdes estates, where Trump's golf course is), decides its cool to become a gang banger, gets involved with a murder, and is acquitted.

> We find that across all three domains, individuals tend to explore diverse styles or topics before their hot streak, but become notably more focused after the hot streak begins. Crucially, hot streaks appear to be associated with neither exploration nor exploitation behavior in isolation, but a particular sequence of exploration followed by exploitation, where the transition from exploration to exploitation closely traces the onset of a hot streak.

"Intuitive" is putting it mildly...
Relatedly, I was looking at Zlib's source today and realized they still use old, 70s-style function declarations:

int ZEXPORT compress2 (dest, destLen, source, sourceLen, level)
Bytef *dest;
uLongf *destLen;
const Bytef *source;
uLong sourceLen;
int level;
{
z_stream stream;
int err;
const uInt max = (uInt)-1;
…

And the size of this problem, managing the entire human race, is part of why they make so much money. They are in front of a lot of people and extracting value from them.

So it seems that they want to keep the profits while not paying the costs to be in this business. While Facebook does bring some benefits to people, it also does a lot of harm, to the point that I'm not sure it's a net positive to the world (or even if it's possible to have a net positive company in this space).
I 100% refute that story. After taxes I’m still making close to $30/hr. I get to write off mileage at $.58/mile so my taxes get lowered.

I can show anyone my weekly driver log that shows how many hours I drove and how much I was paid. It is at least $42/hr and on weekends it can be $50/hr.
I think all the EU things you just mentioned are their own versions of Force scope/power creep. The Sith Holocrons are very deeply implicated in some of the power creep in the EU. The lizards were added to fight a power creep in one book and then became their own obstacle that in turn caused new power creep in a later book. Luke's Jedi Academy turned out some OP members no better/worse than what the Disney era sequels did with Kylo Ren.

The EU definitely isn't a great example for avoiding Force power creep, either. I'm not sure Star Wars has a good example.

(In general I'm not sure much of fandom anywhere has a good long term cure for power creep: the stakes inflation race is a huge problem in almost every similar franchise, too. Avatar: TLA saw its own stakes inflation over the seasons and between the shows. DBZ is a classic case where stakes inflation just gets baked into the manga/anime's formats and assumed as a given for every storyline that follows. Comics both DC and Marvel have long struggled with it and their properties in other media such as films have done nothing but inherit it. And so forth…)
It is extremely distressing that a few companies, all located in the same country, and many located in the same state, if not quite the same city, run by a few men with similar politics has the immense power that they do.

Some people do not quite understand why.

Imagine in they were all Russian and owned by friends of Putin.

It should be a matter of national security for other nations to develop regional competitors. It should also be in the inrest of the US to have more internal competition.

This is not easy.

Making Facebook 3.0 is not the problem, though running at Facebook scale is a challenge.

It is how to get users to adopt it.
As has been the problem for US upstarts as well.

Thankfully a lot of younger people want other social network platforms than Facebook, but it is a bit pointless when the owners of the new networks are the same people who own the old ones.

I guess TikTok proves it can be done.
It also proved how upset US social media gets when competition knocks on their doors.

China, by locking out competition, developed products that are used domestically. There are drawbacks and negative effects of that as well.

I dont know how big VK is in Russia.

Ideally Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram would be broken into 250 or so different companies spread out among different nations and regions.
I see now what this is truly about.
Excuse me for sounding a bit cynical, but if you study 1400 distinct strategies on volatile assets such as crypto, some are bound to do well, but that does not mean they will do well going forward. If you created a real money portfolio invested in the strategies you think are best and tracked its performance, and it did well, that would be more convincing.
Even if the core project is feature complete and excellent, "death" can come from a lack of continued creation and maintenance of 3rd party integrations or plugins.

Personally I found Jekyll plugins lacking and those that were good seemed pretty old/unmaintained.

However I only moved to Hugo from Jekyll just because I didn't want to deal with Ruby gem installation and dependency management. I am not a Ruby dev by any means, I have enough dependency management misery from being a Python dev.

Hugo installation is just a brew-installed or Go-installed CLI tool I never have to think about dependencies of, thanks to how great the Golang packaging/distribution situation is.
Can you explain that feeling to me?

I have been fully aware of the intelligence the whole time, and have just found the prior scientific consensus to be silly

and now I keep running into people that say something like "ah ! they are intelligent! I lost my appetite"

like... what? how or why is that related, to you. how is that the line in the sand.

feel like I took acid and got stuck in this weird mostly similar dimension.

It sounds like you may be taking this personally, that is not my intent.

I think you should realize that when someone expresses an experience people often times read it as warning.

And your experience sharing (as a warning to others) is not useful to the current state. And therefore could be considered damaging to other people's perspective without a counter "experience" being shared.

I have my experience and the fact that it aligns perfectly with yours up until you stopped using PHP should be appreciated for what it is.
Because Tesla has cultivated a reputation and consumer base where being high maintenance is ok and not particularly bad for the brand.

Toyota could do it too. And for a decade their blindly rabid fanboys would probably still be screeching about how they're the most reliable, facts be damned. and it would probably work quite well. And then when consumers wise up to the fact that they're being sold something on a premise and getting something else it would all come crashing down because high maintenance cars are not consistent with their brand image.
Functional programming absolutely has its use cases, and I love a bit of functional style thrown into imperative language one hundred percent.

That being said, I often end up arguing with 'pure functional programmers' at work - they can be incredibly hard to work with and married to the idea that _everything needs to be functional_ because its their preference, even though your average college student is going to be able to pick up and iterate on code that just uses a damn for loop or whatnot.

I _like_ functional, I find it incredibly useful, but like everything else, its just a tool to solve a problem and there are tradeoffs.

But some of the most annoying and must-do-things-academically-because-look-how-cool-monads-are this-is-the-only-proper-way people are very vocal about functional, which is a pretty big turnoff IMO.

Haskell is a good example. There are totally cases where Haskell will make your life easier. But if you're trying to reinvent the wheel and redefine our architecture by injecting haskell everywhere you can because _you like it_, that drives me absolutely bonkers.
Why do you have 45 minutes of math, 45 minutes of English, 45 minutes of etc.?

It isn’t just that. Why is it that in the most crucial developmental years of your life you are tasked to learn everything with a bunch of people that are a distraction.

Yes, the socializing part is a distraction, a real one, it’s as if someone at your job says ‘meetings all day, every day, and then after the meetings, make sure you do the work’.

It’s insanity. Hopefully no one in those meetings (your school) goes beyond being a distraction (violent, bullying).
Tesla has always made me nervous, especially its remote software update/access capability doesn't inspire confidence nor a full proof-of-ownership.

What is saved in gas is lost in repairs! :-(
I have no overlap between people I know IRL and people I know on SM. They are wholly separate worlds. If I know them IRL, it's text and email - never ever SM.

For me, the point of SM is burnable bridges. It's a place to take risks and later apply the lessons to meatspace. In spite of that, I've cultivated many lasting online relationships but I can't see myself ever meeting any of them in person.

It was once unusually fast on FF right after google shortage a couple of month ago. Everything I click was instant, never had those kind of experience.

Now I feel like it's slow on both. There might be a priority issue but I doubt its slowness is FF only.

Sounds like typical Tesla engineering. Everyone knows that seized brakes are expensive, but constructing brakes in such a way that they will seize because of underuse is something that only Tesla would do.

It's similar to an existing law that recognize citizenship through spilled blood (Français par le sang versé) [0].

Basically, if you were injured in a battle fighting for France, you get expedited citizenship.

Interesting idea to extent it to frontline workers who risked their health during the pandemic.

Sure, but hiding public discussions about your open source project behind a Discord server is a really bad idea. The goal of these things is to also act as a public repository for knowledge, and by using Discord you fail at that part.
Nobody is writing news articles about people who drive their Teslas without any issues. I’ve had my model 3 for over 2 years, not a single issue, no oil changes, no maintenance done on it whatsoever. 25k miles.

You argued that the rules applied to foreigners should be applied to the citizens. Right now foreigners with TB, AIDS and many other diseases are not allowed in the country. The question for you: is it okay to deport citizens with the same diseases? If the same rules apply then we should be doing this but as we obviously don't do this, this means the rules for foreigners are different. I am sure you can find the court cases confirming that.

It's one thing to push "protections" on your users because you think you know better and they can't navigate their way around their devices without ruining them. That's the Apple way.

But what Microsoft has done here is push their own product in the name of protection. That's much more malicious. To argue whether it is a protection because they call it one is semantics.

COVID has changed everything. Perhaps temporarily, perhaps permanently. I'd caution against reading too much into pre-covid trends or covid trends. This has been a hugely disruptive event and it will take time to see how it changes societal behavior patterns.
Imagine intelligence like a thermodynamic process. An engine for compressing the world into a smaller representation. Its not about any particular configuration or any particular set of data. Just as the complex structure of the cell arises from the guiding principles of evolution, so intelligence arises from the, as yet, not quite understood processes of thermodynamics within open systems. See England's work in this area. We are constructing systems that play out this universal property of systems to compress. The structures that arise from this driving force of Megawatts of power flowing through graphics cards are only the product of this kind of flow of information. Just as the structure of the human brain is derived from eons of sunlight pouring down upon the photosynthetic cells of plants. There are not two processes at work here. Its one continuous one that rolls on up from the prebiotic soup to hyper advanced space aliens.

You are probably stuck on the idea of emergence. You imagine there must be some dividing line between intelligent and non intelligent. Therefore the point at which it emerges must be some spectacular miracle of engineering. When in fact there is no dividing line, just a continuum of consciousness from the small to the large. Read up on panspermia.
I took option to have the Tesla mobile tire service come to my house. I had several screws in one of my tires, and one was too close to the sidewall to plug. The guy in the van showed up to my house and had the full tire removed/mounted/balanced in about 15-20 minutes. I had to pay for the tire and service fee (obviously) but it was incredibly fast and convenient for me. I found the whole process impressive.
Does anyone have (development/production) experience using Scaleway? Are they roughly comparable to Digital Ocean..? How's price/reliability/support?

Thanks!
I wonder if GitHub will step in and maintain. Isn't it still a built-in part of their pages stack? Even if there isn't new feature development, if it's part of their stack they should step in and maintain it.

You don't want bitrot to introduce vulnerabilities through unmaintained publicly exposed things in your stack.
Subversion:

Functional programming is popular because it's intuitive!

Perhaps "immanent" or "diagrammatic" is a better word than functional. I mean that a function _is_ what it does, but not so with a procedure. One cannot bake a value as one does a cake!

See React's dominance. See the usefulness of declarative state machines. See async/await.

Functional programming gets a bad rep. People often fail to see the functional elements in more imperative code and the imperative elements of more functional code. In fact very few language constructs are necessary to open up 99% of functional possibilities in imperative languages (functions as values) or imperative possibilities in functional code (do-notation). Any critique that dismisses one or the other misses the point.

May add more explanation later.
If I subtract my entire vehicle cost over three years, I’m still making $25/hr or more.

But everyone seems to forget that it’s the independence that driver’s love. I can turn the app on/off whenever I feel like it. That’s a level of freedom that no other “job” offers.
This is an extraordinary claim, this has never been a problem in a major city in recorded history.

The idea that Uber would pay drivers so much to have extra drivers just sitting around doing nothing is absurd. The idea that there would be no suitable drivers left to other firms to hire is absurd.

If any of this claim made sence, then this would have happened 50 years ago, we've had drivers around for a while.

Yet it does not happen in haulage where drivers are actual professionals, it does not happen for solicitors where labour supply is way more constrained. What do you have to backup your claim?
I have no strict dietary limitations, but, for a confluence of reasons, have cut out regular consumption of meat: Climate impact, maintaining healthy weight, avoiding a logey feeling after a heavy meal, food safety, etc. all factor-in to not eating meat regularly.

It started as a lockdown thing, but the way it seems to have helped weight loss was a big incentive to continue.
Pretty sure that open source in 2021 means releasing the code somewhere public under an Open Source license, just like it did in 2011 and 2001. Not sure where all these other requirements come from. I'm already giving you free software, I don't also need to build a community.

I'm not sure how I provided examples of mystification. Rather, whatever the merits of my particular example, I think I rather argued against the idea that "epiousios" was intended to obscure and to obfuscate rather than to clarify by arguing that this would go against the development of doctrine which tends toward greater clarify, not obscurity. I'm making two points: against mystification by virtue of the development of dotrine and for the idea that the term may have been coined to express something Greek had no word for. Don't confuse the two.

In any case, the lack of examples and explanation to support the claim that mystification is a practice in this context is conspicuous. It smells of prejudice, frankly.
