The main problem with the current set of schooling management systems is that they require a lot of work from parents to extract any useful information, and that level of effort amplifies an imbalance between parents having the time and ability and the parents that don't.

What would have been helpful to me as a parent (while my children were enrolled in school) would have been a short weekly email, one from each teacher/class, simply summarizing the topic for the next week or two. That* would be useful in helping parents engage with their children before the material is covered in class. Instead my experience over the past four years has led me to believe that most teachers and school administrators are very poor communicators.

* Another option would be for teachers to provide a course syllabus at the start of each semester. But for whatever reason teachers no longer provide those, either because they think the online stuff is sufficient (it's not) or because they haven't planned ahead.
How did you know the homework wasn’t done?
Good to hear! That is reassuring.

Most parents don't really understand what we are dealing with since their kids sleep much longer (2,3 hours more). This was even more extreme when he was little. When we told people that he wasn't sleeping at daytime they had this strange look as in "that is not possible".

However he learned walking and talking pretty early so he used his extra time it seems ;)

While it is a challenge I always remind myself how lucky I am to have two healthy kids. Sounds like a trope but it really is true.
Will you buy this stock at IPO?
Our 3.5 YO doesn’t really have any device time (though she likes playing with a calculator, and typing on an neo alphasmart), and she absolutely loves reading. But we recently introduced nature documentaries (blue planet, planet earth). And yup! She throws little tantrums at the end. We’re all super engaged as we watch them together, and I think they’re a good supplement to her kid encyclopedias and stuff. The tantrum are less severe if I preface the viewing with, “when this is done, we’re going to turn it off and do x.” It helps to prepare her for what to expect, rather than be surprised by “no more!”
Seems a little larger than most of their devices. I'm not sure carrying an 8" laptop really gains much from your standard 12" or 13" laptop since in either case you're out of pocket or small pouch territory.

I still think the GPD Win 2 was their device witht he best design direction, even if it wasn't a perfect implementation of the goals. 6" was the perfect size for the niche, the gamepad mouse controls were easier to use than the corner touchpad, the keyboard had more buttons, and it was more all purpose. Newer innards and higher quality physical components for the keyboard+gamepad would be killer. The 3 went far too gaming console focused trying to be a Nintendo Switch with a hidden keyboard rather than a computer.

It's exactly the same thing when people say an AMD Ryzen CPU has "Hyperthreading." This is Intel's trademark for Simultaneous multithreading (or SMT).

We all know what someone means when they say this. There's no use being so pedantic.
To me, the more astonishing thing is, "How did HashiCorp excel where Docker failed". I'd pay to read a case-study on it, if there's one.

Edit: May be this comment from Mitchell sheds some 1st-party perspective on why it may be so:

Our pitch is always to just learn one workflow/tool and use it everywhere, but you explicitly WILL rewrite cloud-specific modules/code/etc.

It's the first thing that works, JTAG or other proprietary debug ports aside. It's the thing that you start with in order to get everything else to work, and it's the thing that works when everything else fails. That's why my desk is full of RS232 dongles and cables. The first thing I need to do when I get a new board is to figure out where the console is.

I cannot blame you. And if vi makes you happy, I want you to enjoy the heck out of it. Between discovering emacs and making it my editor of choice I spent a few years using vi heavily, and to this day, I reflexively use it for quickly editing config files.

Regarding emacs, all I can say is that, in my experience, it gets better if you really stick with it for a while. The payoff is huge if you put in the time. But time is limited resource, vi gives you a payoff much faster, so ... like I said, if it works you, don't fix what ain't broken.

I love Emacs, but I also love the variety of editors programmers can choose from. With programmers' editors, as with society as a whole, I consider diversity an advantage.
No incumbent governor of Virginia can run for the office, for terms may not be consecutive. In fact, few who have been elected governor of Virginia have ever run again. There were questions raised about the legality of McAuliffe's running.

Players tend to hate randomness in PvP; they use the pejorative 'RNG'. PvE games increasingly monetize with social proofing, but this can create a sense of PvP even in PvE content. E.g. players get mad that the wizard class isn't as viable as the rogue class.

Your first strategy might explain the emerging success of sandbox games and battle royale games.
What on earth does that even mean?

Ir seems to imply that it is a demand that technology not change things socially or if they will be bad. Both are flat out impossible as the inventor(s) don't even know what will change ahead of time. It is neither reasonable nor actionable.

If it doesn't imply that it is meaningless as the dumb luddite line "Science never sacrifices, it always murders." How the fuck is a process of discovery supposed to sacrifice anything when it isn't even an entity! Attributing responsibility of murders to it is similiarly daft - why not blame murders on violence instead?

Sure scientests should come out with ethical codes of "what not to do" after infamous incidents like say Harry Harlowe's gratitutousness monkey torture or human experimentation on the vulnerable but moral culpability is on the men responsible, not those who engage in a common different process. It would nonsensic like trying to declare eaters responsible for some depraved cannibal eating an infant!
> shoves the ads right under my nose

You can turn them off.

You can't really turn off the ads with Google. Chrome is designed to send you to Google Search where you are encouraged to click on ads and visit other Google sites instead of the URL you intended to visit. That's why they turned the URL bar into a search bar. At least in Firefox you can split search into a separate box.
> I'm not saying it's conclusive but to suggest there's no reason to think it might be better is disingenuous.

I didn't say there's no reason to assume it might be better!

I said there's no reason to assume it might be better AND that it is definitely not worse.
> uh, no. what would be even better if TC39 did something beyond window dressing and JS gets a sane standard API so these idiotic requirements for API fill in are no longer required.

That would remove the most used libraries. You could make babel, express, lodash/underscore, moment and stuff like that core, sure. But then you still have people using lots of libraries, especially in the frontend world for components.

> Other languages have their own issues. But they also have saner stdlibs so the attack vectors are different.

There's also more of a culture of just writing things yourself.
The political angle here is totally disconnected with what the analogy is trying to get at. We can safely assume the author is not trying to advocate complete and total self-sufficiency in every context all the time.

This gives yet another example of why "ignore scripts"[0] should be the default setting for npm install.

Actually it's a pity that the npm Security Insights API[1] seems to have been abandoned since the company was bought by Microsoft. It seems like it could have highlighted the addition of a suspicious install script, although how useful it would be in practice would depend on the UX of the tooling that uses it.

My eyes roll so hard at mentions of the “religious war” that my eye doctor has had to put them back in their sockets multiple times.

The Vim vs. Emacs “war” meme has far surpassed the supposed rivalry itself; the two programs are so different that you might as well be comparing a, I dunno, a megaphone to a woodchipper. (What, the analogy doesn’t make sense, you say? Well exactly.)

The two programs attract not only people with different temperaments but also people with completely different needs and wants.
What do you mean by presented? If I have a friend who has 4000 friends and I am their 4000th most important friend, I would sufficiently believe that a generic post of mine would not appear at the top of their feed and they might not see it.

Honest question.
I cannot agree with it or your comment. I have seen these type of comments pop up in every Firefox thread on HN. It is so common for people to try to play armchair CEO. But when I actually dig into it, I have really never seen anyone with a competent vision of what a "competing browser" is supposed to look like. It all seems to boil down to "put the user in control of X feature and add a bunch of settings for it" or "don't remove Y feature that I used" or "bring back XUL" or something like that which I hope you can understand are not reasonable high-level directions. The various forks of firefox are well intentioned but these are all minor modifications, they don't try to do something different.

To illustrate what I mean here, if you want a fork with an emphasis on privacy you can just use LibreWolf. It is the entire thread we are responding to, the thing you want exists right now. But I don't see people exactly flocking to use that, your comment seems to not even acknowledge that it exists!
You don't use real money for characters, you use real money to gamble on the chance of characters. And you need several copies of the same character to upgrade them. So you can play the slot machine many times and not get anything that you want. It's gambling 100%

Company property is a completely different issue. Whether you do it during business hours or not is irrelevant.

If you’re salaried, you’re always on company time, so whether the company owns it or not is up to the laws of the state and the agreements you signed when hired.

"You are doing your child a disservice by ensuring they are always prepared for every challenge they face." I think you are very much reading too far into the situation. I am making sure my 7 and 10 year old do their homework. They know there are consequences for not doing it because I explain to them that there are. Kids don't have to get hit by a car to know to look both ways, they just need the parent to tell them. I understand you don't have kids and so are coming at this from a theoretical position, but theory and a live breathing, emotional child are very different things. You could argue that this is the way you were raised and you turned out great, but everyone was raised differently and most of the people on this site probably turned out pretty well when compared to the majority of society at least from a financial and capability perspective.

"so you're too close to the situation to have an unbiased view, but realize that the math is only a small part of what your child is learning here" I appreciate the perspective, on the other hand you don't have kids so have not experienced the situation at all. The idea that a parent is doing a young child a disservice by sitting with them, reviewing their homework and discussing their day is pretty strange. I wish you well when you have children of your own. Now if you will excuse me I have to go and tell Brady how to improve the snap in his throws.

Edit: "I know you have kids, so you're too close to the situation to have an unbiased view, but realize that the math is only a small part of what your child is learning here". Your argument boils down to people without kids are the best people to know what is best for kids as people with kids are too close to the situation. That makes no sense and I disagree.

Per the ford website for SEMA -

>Weighing in at a svelte 205 pounds, this electric dynamo delivers 281 horsepower, 317lb.-ft. of torque, and generates a maximum speed of 13,800rpm. The Eluminator crate engine package includes a high-voltage motor-to-traction invertor harness, low-voltage harness connector, and vent tube assembly.

so, it sounds like the the motor traction inverter is included. Controller and the batter obviously still costs $$.

Perhaps the best way to deal with these laws is to let the ones that turn a few million innocent people into felons overnight pass, vs whittle them down so it’s just a few thousand (eg based on net worth or transaction size.) The former would never hold given the consequences, the latter would and eventually be ratcheted.
I mean humans do this and probably a high majority of the time make the merge with both parties unscathed. I also do not agree that you are REALLY paying much attention to who you are cutting off. Generally the process is: look for a gap sufficiently close to your exit, swoop in, if its too tight, keep going...till eventually you just stop and wait till you get the gap.
I notice in the config you specify "colors" and "fonts" but also "fontFamily", not plural. Ugh. I hate inconsitancies like this. They make it a lot harder to predict how to specify what you want, and it's likely that someone in the future will "fix" it and you'll end up with deprecation warnings all over the place.

> Between 1954 and 1967, during works on the rivers throughout the country, they sank 1,200,000 km2 fascine mattresses to the bottom.

I have trouble squaring that with all of the Netherlands measuring only 41,543 km2, with rivers making up only a tiny fraction of that.

Perhaps conversion from 1,200,000,000 m2 was off by a factor of 1000, and they mean 1,200 km2 ?
Congrats to HashiCorp for their IPO and for building an awesome suite of tools.

I attended a Papers We Love meetup back in 2015 where Armon Dadgar, HashiCorp's CTO, gave the main talk on Bloom filters and HyperLogLog (interested parties can watch a recording of the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Bt9Tn6P5c). It was an awesome, very educational talk (on a topic I was previously unfamiliar with), and based on my very limited impression, Armon struck me as a really smart, intellectually curious and nice person. Great to see Armon/Hashicorp achieve such a huge, positive milestone.

At Firebase it was sometimes called the client-database-server architecture. The pattern was documented in 2013 [1]

If you use Firebase as an ephemeral message bus it's a great pattern. It has problems if you use it like a traditional database because migrations are very tricky. DBs that support views (or GraphQL) can make migrations much easier
