I'm probably going to get downvoted, but this article is nonobjective, which, in my opinion, is standard fare for the New Yorker. In fact, I think it presents a delusional worldview. As an aside, I think it's unfair to compare this article to the slave labor camps mentioned in this thread. They are fundamentally different. Anything with Christian theming, obviously, the New Yorker and most of HN passionately hate.

But, the New Yorker, for all the useless people and vapid criticism it employs, could not come up with an alternative to an organization like this. This is a place where children who have severe drug or other problems, possibly violence, can be sent that essentially functions the same as a juvenile detention center but is patently not as bad. I even empathize with the parents in the article. What would I do if I had four children and one of them is doing drugs, sleeping with numerous guys to the point of getting pregnant, and literally working at a brothel (buried in the hit piece, obviously), and the other children are perhaps younger, currently normal, but exposed to this continually? That is a challenging situation. Many New Yorker columnists surely live in a "post-children world", so perhaps that is not something they'd empathize with. The only evidence I saw that made me question if the parents were horrible was when they refused to let the move to a halfway house with the child.

Although I am not a Christian and empathize with not wanting to be in compulsory Christian brainwashing, I'm sorry, the article provided no evidence these kids are being physically or mentally abused. Citing that 13 of them attempted to commit suicide is more evidence about the type of kids, without judging whether their current mental state is due to genetics or a poor break in life, being placed here. Further, I didn't find other criticisms valid, such as declining to raise children resulting from pregnancies. It is not the organization's responsibility to raise children, and to their credit, again, it looks like they would have allowed the girl to transfer to a halfway house and keep the child, if not for the maligned parents. But, other than that, their "case study" seemed like she belonged in a mental hospital and I am skeptical it is entirely the fault of the "system". After leaving the program, she went on a desperate search to find her drug addict mother, before abandoning a husband and new son to live with friends, while literally repeatedly applying to work at "Teen Challenge" (what?!!?).

It is quite frightening to live in an era where we want to dismantle anything that is remotely Christian because someone had a bad emotional experience. This is the psychotic liberal zeitgeist - where the homeless capitals of the world want to dictate solutions to scenarios like this.
And that’s the charitable interpretation. The non-charitable one is that they simply lied.
Maybe it helps surface how much charge is required to climb to altitude vs how much charge is required to sustain it? This may also help surface how much of a buffer you may have in takeoff time in order to survive night. E.g. if you require 100% charge then it's likely you have to take off at a fairly specific time of day.
> This isn't some incidental detail - it's the entire reason why the banking and credit card industry doesn't want to interact with cannabis right now.

FYI - Banks do work with cannabis in states where it's legal. Those banks just can't be national banks - they have to be state ones that are regulated by the state. In other words, Chase/BoA/etc. can't touch it because they operate at the federal level and are highly regulated.

I know this project is really cool as an engineer, but engines and vehicles in all forms are pretty much a solved problem in the third world. Those guys can squeeze 50 extra years out of a van that we would take to the scrap, building new open source models really isn’t a priority
With Starlink soon having ~global coverage, why bother transporting, launching and servicing these aircraft for a one time thing? I don't see the benefit. Will also be really hard to reach low prices for end user terminals with this approach.

Very high quality visual/signals surveillance seems like a much more obvious market fit.
>> "Of course, most math problems have correct answers, but sometimes there can be more than one way to interpret a problem, especially word problems, leading to more than one possible right answer"

Seems fine to me. I always had trouble with word problems because the scenarios were, with rare exceptions, completely unrelatable.

>> "Though math teachers often tout the phrase “mistakes are expected, respected, inspected, and corrected,” their practices don’t always align. Teachers often treat mistakes as problems by equating them with wrongness, rather than treating them as opportunities for learning—which reinforces the ideas of perfectionism (that students shouldn’t make mistakes) and paternalism (teachers or other experts can and should correct mistakes)"

This seems like a reasonable recommendation! I was mocked and insulted by teachers for getting things wrong. It did not in any way encourage learning.
I do read a decent volume of financial literature (for a layperson) and no, this rhetoric is decidedly not the norm for any research notes of quality.

This is Jim Cramer level writing, and I don't believe it should be encouraged.
Things like this always make me think about a friend who got a job doing admin for the police around university. One of his jobs ended up being processing exam results for a multiple choice exam which was part of the firearms qualification - still a small minority of officers in the UK.

They said that some of the answers were so easy they could have guessed them with zero experience or experience. But there were many who failed them with an overall mark just high enough to pass.

When you go giving a group of people power, it's sobering to think about who those individual people might be - especially in an organisation that is so widespread, requires little education and has been accused of lowering hiring standards due to staff shortages.

Last week one of my employees quit. He got himself a job well over what I could afford paying. He was really not sure if he should go and was feeling very uncomfortable since we were so good with him and invested in him so much, which is all true. I told him that I would be very happy if he stay but I can't ask him to, and that he lives his life for himself, not for me, and that as general rule he should never put his employer interest before his own.

He decided to leave, but felt very uncomfortable with it and felt he had to justify it to me and explain his move. I tried to ask him firmly never to do it, since there are people out there who would exploit innocent employees in similar position.

You should never justify leaving a company, if you feel like quitting will be better for you just do it. Employment should always be mutual benefit deal, and just like a company would let you go if employing you isn't beneficial anymore you should leave without too much hesitation if its for your own benefit. I'm not saying you should be ungrateful ass, but you should put yourself first in your consideration, most probably nobody else would.

The link points to a page[0] of discussions from "February 18, 2021". I don't know if that's a date parsing bug, but the question of whether packages match their upstream source actually was considered in 2018 for the NPM ecosystem[1] which led to the creation of a tool called TBV (Trust But Verify).

Not really. Your linked post is referring to a retweet of the announcement by fuz (Robert Klausecker) on twitter (in German), while this thread is linking to his original post in english as email.
I think it's somewhere in the middle, which is somehow worse.

The 'dumb' vector works on technical people. But we know, or at least can read between the lines, from big scandals that management has trained their reports to lie to them by omission. Don't bring me bad news and I can say with a straight face that we aren't aware of any problems.

Alternative theories of programming are exactly why I want to see new, innovative language concepts; not just for the wacky factor, but as an implementation of a different approach, hopefully one based in a logical theory rather than random tweaks.
Why would the heap make memory usage unpredictable? How’s it any different than the stack? For example, if I stack allocate 1000 bytes, leaving the function frees those bytes (by destroying the frame). If I allocate those 1000 bytes on the heap instead and make sure to free() it, there’s no change to memory usage.
Depending on the values in b, you could do bit-packing in C++ and munch it down to just 1 byte.
I feel like Clojure companies should be on here too as it is very much a LISP
So does the real world. Things are hard to do with disabilities. That's what the word means. This has great potential, and it's not worth shutting down because some people aren't able to use it.

I can also see this being very helpful for people who have cerebral palsy, for example. Larger movements are easier, this might help someone use the web more easily.
BMR might drop around 10% when doing traditional calorie restricting dieting. Some diets try to prevent that the best they can (keto, for example).

If a specific diet was able to mitigate the drop in BMR (unlikely to completely mitigate if you're losing weight), then it might be the difference between like 2000 calories burned a day and 2150 burned in a day, right?

Is that optimization worth considering? I don't think so. People should focus on a diet that they can stick to, not something that optimizes that much.
I’m skeptical the surprise is genuine.

The App Store review process has always been an issue. It is slower than Android’s approach, preventing effective stages rollouts. It slows down iteration speed. It forces teams to ship at Apple’s cadence.

Compare the process with the sophistication of a mature devops team for a web app. The App Store is orders of magnitude less effective.

It’s frankly hard to believe that Apple hasn’t had hires in the relevant teams, that came from dev teams that felt bottlenecked by this process.
> Did they make these changes to make room for this course? I know there's long been a movement to change priorities in math education to better meet modern needs.

Define "modern needs." My understanding is that American math education has long been affected by a tug-of-war between...

1) people (usually focused on K-12 education) who want to dumb it down to meet the needs of "modern day to day life" (e.g. algebra isn't important because common people don't use it every day), and...

2) people (usually focused on post K-12 activities at elite levels), who want to make it rigorous, because strong math skills are fundamental for high-level achievement in engineering and science.

In America, #1 seems to be the dominant outlook unless there's some national competitive threat (e.g. the Soviets beating the US in the space race).
Thank you for this inspiring question. For interpreting sign language you need multi-hand support which YoHa is currently lacking. Apart from that you likely also need to account for the temporal dimension which YoHa also does not do right now. If those things were implemented I'm confident that it would produce meaningful results.
As expected, another amazing post by Eugene. This might be the best sentence:

Basic tractors, like the AK-47, are also designable by most decent mechanical engineering students without a lot of work if they spent an afternoon googling first for prior art (and that prior art has long had any patents expire).

Which if there is an ecosystem related to this, that’s great as the manufacturing is where you need economies of scale pretty badly and everyone benefits from it.

There is no also no need for a basic excavator to cost $30k or more. Let’s do something about that too!
So, looking into it a bit more, iLike ended up selling for $20m to Myspace roughly a year after this story happened. It sucks for Steve Jobs to say you're full of BS, but really, if there's a mistake here, the mistake is simply not taking the $50m. Ali probably could have called up corp dev the next day and said, ha ha wasn't it funny that Steve called me a bullshitter in that meeting, anyways I accept your offer.

Was it a mistake? In retrospect it would have made Ali more money, but I don't know, maybe iLike still had some chance of succeeding on its own at that point. Maybe it was just a calculated risk that didn't pan out.

Maybe the perfectly charismatic negotiator could have squeezed an extra 10% out of Apple but that just isn't that important compared to the decision of "should we sell the company for approximately 50m, or not?"

India's cards no longer work on Heroku
The Reserve Bank of India rules against storing credit / debit cards have gone into effect, and Heroku always stores cards before using them - which means that no cards from India work on Heroku any more.

Anyone who has dev or prod workloads on Heroku and paying with Indian cards is going to see failed payments and a possible default. We need to get Heroku to hold these accounts open and consider alternatives if they're not responsive.

There are no alternate payment methods / no Stripe Checkout style one time payment options.

Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO said:

> One of the advantages of C++ is that it allows this sort of control.

But I believe what the OP showed is that Rust also allows you to have that level of control. However, the default behavior for rust is to do the optimization that you have to go out of your way to manually implement in C++.

Rust isn't taking away control from what you can do in C++, instead, it's made the idiomatic approach one that is well optimized by the compiler.

You may want to support either bit interleaving or a CNN that emits a vector that preserves visual locality to other videos, allowing for small changes to be ignored between hashes.
VSCode's general approach to limiting the visual customization options available to extensions (which is very rational since it allows significant ongoing flexibility to optimize performance) is part of the problem, but it's even worse since VSCode has only in the past 1.5 months begun work on a read-only API to even read the set of open tabs, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/15178 and its 93 (!) comments - development of a read-write API is still ongoing in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/133532 . At the moment, it's impossible to even write a reliable extension that saves and restores open tabs and their locations to a given state!

> At this stage, we want most of our people close enough to their core team that they can easily travel to the office for a meeting within a day’s notice. We also know that many people have found the ability to work remotely from a different location for a few weeks at a time inspiring and reenergizing.

Its such a shame that the new premier for NSW (state governor equivalent?) Has brought his rosaries and prayer beads to the table and is now in the business of openly appointing other ministers who are also catholic. His main criteria for the new police minister is that they are catholic. The outlook is very texas-like, where women wanting abortions may lose access to them, etc.

So, call this Freedom Day as Sydneysiders do, but watch the freedom fritter away under the new regime.
