Let's put it this way: If anyone is thinking of starting a business, they should spend a couple of hours researching and getting guidance from experts about the laws in their specific country. It's very easy to act cavalierly on advice meant for another jurisdiction without realising it. I have.

Another quick example from Portugal: Did you know businesses or business-like entities (we have those for smaller entrepreneurs) are required to keep a 10-year archive of paper receipts, regardless of having already filed digital copies with the government or of any other common-sense exception? Most people here don't. But they can get serious fines for not being able to produce almost decade-old records they had no clue were mandatory.

The points are: a) that there is no such thing as "europe" to begin with in a regulatory sense; b) but there are structural reasons why entrepreneurs in the area behave like they do, it's not an accident; c) only the paranoid survive, so do your research because there will be a test later and you don't get a do-over.
> I always find it hilarious that the pre college education in US is so messed up. Instead of doing Algebra 1, Algebra 2, calculus, geometry as one subject that you do in a year and then completely forgetting about it for the rest of the high school, how about you do a little bit of everything every year from grade 8-12. Problem solved.

I don't understand. US high school kids only do math one year out of the 4? And nothing else math related during the other 3 years?

I mean, instead of doing a little bit of math spread across all the years so you know, they don't forget everything?

Does this go for other subjects as well?
Both policies were an elaborate dance to avoid the reality that different kids have different needs and abilities.
The article does a great job of covering what people think about these changes, but a terrible job of covering what on earth the changes actually are. I felt like I was trying to solve a mystery where every paragraph buried in the opinions were small clues about what they're actually talking about.
Free Universities have a long history and follow a similar model!
I guess one benefit of this approach is it costs nearly nothing. The better approach would be providing qualified tutors for free to struggling students, or to make current math classes smaller, or to add TAs to existing classes. But all of that costs money. You could also argue that a more holistic approach could help. Things like better meals at schools, better transportation options to and from schools or a wider range of class times. Again, all expensive options compared to simply limiting options and forcing students into fewer buckets.
I introduced my kid to Algebra in gr.2 during that first stretch of covid last year. He's not particularly adept at Math(doesn't struggle with it - it was gr.2 though so simple + and -), but it really didn't take much.

This state has lost its mind. When I have kids, they are going to private schools or if I can't afford that home school. Seems like the aim of California schools is to create politically radical students, who can't do math. Perfect for our times!

> the students just don't have the mathematical maturity for it.

Doesn't this get at the root of the problem though? Some students have the mathematical maturity for it. Others don't. The arguments seem to be between "we should present these concepts early for the benefit of the students who are ready for it" vs "we should delay these concepts until all students are ready."

But different students have different levels of mathematical maturity. the problem seems to stem from working in a paradigm where everyone at a particular age has to learn the same thing. It seems we should be moving in the direction of more personalization rather than less.
Yup, even 2x2 systems of equations. This stuff isn't hard, I don't get what the folks in the US are thinking.
I'm sure official Flatpaks do better on average, but that narrows the selection a lot. And most third-party packagers raise my suspicions in a way that, say, the Debian packaging team does not. You should see my eyebrows go up when I cruise dockerhub!

I don't know what the right answer here is, but for me it's not Flatpaks or Snaps. Trusting the packager (and the org behind the package system) is a huge part of it. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I see the software I need is in Debian's repos, even if that means they may not be optimally sandboxed.
That's a ridiculous answer. "You don't" means people go back to windows or Mac OS where they can do that easily because it's an actual need people have. That's the worst outcome by far as it leads to less support on Linux.

No they do math every year, it's just not well designed so that each topic is spread evenly. [Updated the wording to make it more clear]
They teach that math is subjective. Objectivity is the corner stone of white supremacy.

This is one of those issues that I can't understand the opposing argument. It's just an issue I find so objectionable that I cannot understand why anyone would be imposing this. Literally holding kids back.

The only defense I hear is that kids don't really benefit from advanced classes and they'll be fine anyway. But gifted children will not necessarily be fine. Most of the smartest people I know struggled in school just, but most were fortunately saved by advanced placement classes that put them in classes where they can learn at a faster pace than the rest of the children. Were they forced to stay in what to them amounted to remedial classes, they would grow to resent education and actually underperform.

The utter disregard the people pushing these policies have for children is appalling. Hopefully this is just a weird time in our countries history where that we'll look back on and think how absurd the policies were.
Yes, but I'm talking about what works well for the average student, not just math whizs who post on HN.
This post and comments section means I no longer wonder why 99% of shell scripts I come across look inept. I'm sorry guys but seriously please actually learn bash (and ideally not from this blog post). There's so many things wrong in the post and the comments that it's difficult to enumerate.

To start with, if you ever feel the need to write a O(n) for loop for finding which commit broke your build, you DID need git-bisect.

Definitely DONT'T wait for PIDs like that and if you do want to write code like that, maybe actually use the arrays bash provides?

If your complaint is that for a in b c d; do ...; done is unclear, then maybe also use lists there, because what's definitely LESS clear is putting things in a variable and relying on splitting.

And most importantly, DO quote things (except when it's unnecessary).
So what's your suggestion? Instead of "pre-Internet," we're supposed to say "pre-widely-available Internet?" Yeah good luck with that.
That's not true though, the lab is in Wuhan due to it's proximity to major universities. The SARS like coronaviruses that they studied are in provinces in the south such as Yunnan, Guangdong, and bordering countries like Laos. That's why researchers from the lab always went on field sampling missions to Yunnan and Laos.

The reason the lab is Wuhan has nothing to do with where these viruses originate, it's there for the same reason there is a BSL4 lab in NYC.
What about the mishandling that occurred elsewhere in the world?

> There's a reason why students cram at the end of the semester. Without pressure from grades, they won't do the work of learning. I know for a fact that I don't learn if there aren't exams and grades.

I can honestly say that grades got in the way of much of my learning, although I think that I’m atypical on this front.

University tests are typically very poorly designed (the folks who make them usually aren’t prepress I Al test developers), and quite a bit of effort needs to go into looking for old tests with model answers and going to either professor or TA office hours to get inside info on what is likely to be tested.

This took time away from me reading cited sources and cited sources from those cited sources, which was what (imho) gave me quite a bit of depth of knowledge of the subject area.

The good part was that I was often able to have conversations with the professor or TAs that went beyond the basics that were covered in the course, and sometimes this led to wonderful opportunities in further learning and/or research, but the loss of time spent on projects and tests for grades is time and learning that I will never get back.
To me it sounded like if they could have turned off the auto scan on a time limit it would have been fine because once it was fully up and running they didn't really need GC because the memory footprint was stable. But because they had no way of turning that off without compiling their own version of the runtime it wasn't tenable.
Math in US high schools ends at what most countries would consider a middle school level. Algebra 2 is generally the only requirement. The vast majority of students graduate without ever even knowing what calculus is.
Why would they want to invest in EU companies when 90% of EU innovation is based in London?
He may be wrong, and he may just hang out with jerks, but none of that means he is projecting.
Sounds like a huge waste of taxpayers money, the silver lining is that sensible schools can disregard this bad idea altogether.
That's not a reason to ignore the stupidity of the premise in the first place. All your comment strives to do is highlight a lack of educational cohesion that will arise if they don't follow the guidelines.
I took my first algebra class in 7th grade (early 90s, Maryland). I remember struggling initially (in part because we had moved from another state the summer before, and my prior math class didn't quite prepare me for it), but an hour or two of my dad explaining it to me at home made things "click" and I was fine after that. The class was a good size (probably around 30 kids), so it's not like this was a tiny accelerated-learning class (it wasn't the "standard" class, though; it was definitely the "honors" level or something like that).

By the end of high school, I'd taken the equivalent of two semesters of university-level calculus, which allowed me to skip those classes when I went to college, and take more challenging courses. It's hard to imagine students who first take algebra in 9th grade progressing to anything beyond the most basic of calculus (at best) before graduating from high school.

Judging by other responses here, I'm not even a particularly special or advanced case, with some kids being introduced to basic algebra many years before I was. Which makes sense. If you can teach a kid "1 + 1 = ?", then at some point shortly after, you can start to teach "1 + ? = 2". Bam: basic algebra.

It just sounds like instead of getting students to stretch, we're pushing the gifted kids down to the lowest common denominator. It makes me assume that school administrators just want to avoid conflict with parents and hurt feelings among kids when they bucket students between remedial/standard/honors classes. We're sacrificing education for temporary good feelings.
Yes. But I'm afraid in the opposite direction.
My first thought is "based on a wing? That'd give it uplift..."

It sounds like you agree that "vaccination doesn't protect you from getting infected and infecting others", the statement I was responding to, is wrong.

I think fixating on the limits of vaccination rather then the benefits is misleading. Vaccination works, yet many people think it does not due to this rhetoric.
I think you can have affiliate links, you just run the risk of ruining your credibility. I also think it might be difficult if that's your only source of income.

I wonder if anyone has tried giving their top picks away for free, but charging for the review and methodology? I feel like I'd be suckered in. When I'm shopping I hop around and look at a bunch of reviews. I'll then try and find YouTube reviews to see the product in context. Especially, if it's a site that comes up over and over I'd pay to see pros/cons and comparisons. No idea if that would scale to a business, though.
It sounds like your argument is to make fuel and power more expensive? How does that not disproportionately harm poor communities, and how is that not just a carbon tax with extra steps?

EDIT: I'm not trying to be an ass or "Getcha", just trying to see where you're coming from.
LOL, they still are trying to sell the narrative that it "may not have come from a lab" with freaking bat caves a thousand miles away from Wuhan, and confirmed gain of function experiments at the lab. NYT is a joke.
Either you are being intentionally dense just to keep arguing or you are a lost cause. Either way, I am not going to bother responding.
This "single standard" to me is like outlawing adjustable seats in cars.

In the UK, they start separating students into separate tracks around 8th grade. Some will excel in math and science, so give them the opportunity to really go for it and take hard classes. Others will excel in other areas.

But if everyone is lumped together in the same bucket and forced into the same mold, the average student's highest level of achievement across all subjects goes significantly down.
It’s funny I’ve been using Linux for a decade and a half, professionally for about half that time, and yet I still go to python when arithmetic is involved. I’ve been learning a lot about the shell lately it’s like I did the bare minimum with bash just to be able to run programs and slightly automate things and it took this long for it to click with me that it’s a productive programming language in its own right (and probably faster than python.)
Sure, let's try to fix the people. Let's try to fix the conditions that led to them being that way, too. But while we're doing that, let's not let them destroy society.

So maybe I should say that at the moment we don't seem to have the option of picking a calm and peaceful society without a huge security presence. That's based on the available evidence. But you're right, let's try to make that untrue in the future.

> I don't understand this comment. (...) I don't see any functionality on godocs.io that is missing from pkg.go.dev.

Sorry, but:

• Where can I access the diagram (not just a list) of the transitive imports graph of a package?

• Quoting straight from https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc, is the following functionality still present on pkg.go.dev? if yes, how can I access it?

"For instance, https://golang.org/pkg/math/big/?m=all shows the documentation for all (not just the exported) declarations of package big."

And yes, I sometimes found it helpful when it was there.

• Personally, when trying to search or browse the index of entities in a pkg.go.dev page, the auto-collapsing gives me trouble to get a good overview or quickly find stuff. I remember recently having to waste minutes trying to find something in the, of all the things, https://pkg.go.dev/std stdlib ToC, due to directories being auto-collapsed.

Look into Flatpak portals. I'm not sure how they work wrt bubblewrap, but they pass limited interfaces to various things into the container. Things on the host side then prompt the user for which webcam/etc the app should get access to. I think they are similar to Android intents in that the app can't ask for access to a specific thing, just for access to certain kind of things and then it is up to the user to choose which one.

> I don't understand. US high school kids only do math one year out of the 4? And nothing else math related during the other 3 years?

No, he/she meant that US high schools divide Math into algebra, geometry, trig etc. which are taught in different years as opposed to simply having these as sections in a single Math textbook which increases in difficulty every year.

High school is too early to divide up Math into these subjects especially if you are going to be studying only one of these in a whole year.
I started a subreddit a few days ago to try to channel some of the web3 criticism/skepticism and to take the hype down a peg or two. If you're so inclined this is exactly the kind of content that would be worthwhile there.

This policy has nothing to do with the topic of algebra. This is code for advanced math, because algebra is typically considered advanced for < 9th grade children. Since the organizations feel ashamed that they're failing certain demographics as evidenced by being under-represented in the advanced classes, they're just scrapping the advanced classes for everyone. Truly disgraceful

So you’re saying we should hide the truth because if we don’t people may get hurt?
This is really making the public school system more unequal. Since this is just a "recommendation", the good public schools like Cupertino or Piedmont will ignore it, and keep teaching children algebra. The bad public schools that are having trouble hiring algebra teachers will use this as an excuse to stop teaching algebra.
I think we should really hold off on addition and reading until the post graduate level.

Once we take this to it's logical conclusion and reset the achievment bar to absolute zero, it will be impossible for there to be any inequality.
