I recommend trying to befriend some of the graduate students at your field. Maybe try to get involved with research with your professors. In my experience those who go for a PhD tend to be from a wider variety of backgrounds, and more intellectually curious.

I’m sure you can find these sorts of people in the regular student body as well, but they may be harder to find!
Proof-based high school geometry is an absolute joke and should be excised as soon as possible. There is no better way to ruin someone's enthusiasm for math while teaching them nothing useful... imo.

I think there's a significant difference between social creatures that are just craving socialization which we can trivially achieve outside of work and wanting to specifically hang out with your boss every day. If you can't see that difference I'm not sure how to communicate it to you though, but I don't think anyone is calling anyone pathetic for needing socialization.
I don't understand why there is so much effort put onto cramming math into high school. I took calculus in high school and then repeated it in college. There is plenty of time in college (especially if some of the less useful elective requirements were taken away) to catch up on your math requirements, so whether you are ready for Algebra in 8th grade or not should have no barring on whether you are able to pursue a STEM major in college, let alone be successful in your career.

I think we lane people out of STEM way too early, which is what I believe some of these curriculum changes are trying to redress.

The problem is defining "privacy" though, isn't it? What, specifically, would the amendment require or prohibit under the banner of "privacy"? How could this definition, if enshrined into nearly immutable law, be modified to account for a changing technological environment? How do you prevent such an amendment from suffering from the fate of the US second amendment, which in many places is honored mostly in the breach?
Kind of a weird tangent but can anyone elaborate on this quote: "trap a drop of water between two other liquids and heat it, you can raise the temperature to at least 300 °C with nothing happening"

I knew you could change boiling point with pressure but is this suggesting that doing something like having a layer of oil on top of an ambient pressure pot of water would prevent boiling? I tried googling for some elaboration but only found discussions of superheating water via pressure changes.

There are only a few pieces in that set that don't appear in hundreds of other sets:

The baseplate is custom and the most egregious example of what you are talking about, of course.
The slope at the front with the swirl on it is also custom.
There's a round tile with a snowflake on it, that appears in two other sets.
The giant snowflake on top, about two dozen other winter-themed sets.
The slide also appears in only a couple of dozen pieces, but this basically all pieces that include a playground or similar. The slide is functional for play so it can't be trivially made of smaller pieces without compromising that.
There also an ornamental swirly translucent smoke-like piece that only appears in a handful of sets, again, all winter themed.

That's it, the rest of the pieces in the kit appear in literally hundreds of other sets.
And some people can't really see writing at all if it's grey and white.

The best solution is user agents that actually convey a modicum of agency to the user. The second-best solution is adjusting your monitor; most monitors, you can reduce the contrast, but you can't really increase it.
The apparent disdain for it is probably coming from frustration at being unnecessarily forced back into that environment where they'd rather not be, just like they used to be before COVID started.

You don't see a lot of helpful (read: condescending) advice columns titled "Dear extroverts: how to be more quiet and introspective." The less social creatures among us that pretty often.

Letting people work in the environment that they like sounds like a positive change for everybody.

The week is merely a convenient integer division of a lunar calendar.
We need to stop this bullshit of adding misterious meaning to stuffs and calling everything we don’t understand a social construct. Not because they are not, but because this is basically a useless tautology.
Telling that the society socially constructed the concept of a week based on the integer divisors of the duration of the lunar month adds no useful information and distorts language with what by now is just a tired cliché

>I really don't understand why people get hung up on this. Vim supports arrow keys. hjkl are convenient alternatives [...]

Maybe because tutorials like vimtutor and this thread's website immediately blast hjkl finger exercises at the brand new user with no context whatsoever. The student is now wondering why they are pressing a seemingly arbitrary and random alphabet key just to move a cursor around.

E.g. vimtutor 1st screen:

Now, make sure that your Caps-Lock key is NOT depressed and press
the j key enough times to move the cursor so that lesson 1.1
completely fills the screen.

E.g. this website's 1st instructions:

You can use the h and l keys to move the cursor.

For learners that need a little bit of scaffolding in the brain to make sense of what keys to press, a little bit of history about the origins of "hjkl" helps.

Also, in my case, I learned classic vi (not vim) on DEC UNIX and the arrow keys did not work. Instead, the arrow keys inserted funny control characters depending the terminal emulation. So people used to be forced into using hjkl.

>`social justice` just means that you believe every person deserves an equal opportunity to thrive. That is not a religion, that is the American dream

No. That is the surface level definition which insidiously hides the conflation between opportunity and equity that underlies the politicized restructuring of our institutions. Equality of outcome is only possible by hindering high achievers.

In part it is the purely faith based belief in the tenet of tabula rasa that makes this movement resemble a religion. There is no quality science which suggests that all people are equally capable given identical environments; in fact such an assertion would completely deny the realities of genetics and culture.
Just as an aside both the use-cases of MTU being the wrong size (GCP, which I mentioned in the article) and adding syn cookies are both direct problems that we've had to diagnose and fix in Nanos. The latter cause the tcp/ip stack we chose didn't have syn cookies to begin with.

We were able to use tcpdump in that situation as well to test and verify the problem was solved and didn't require it to be in the guest.

All of these problems I wouldn't expect an average user to fix regardless though.
My experience with those story driven math problems is that dyslexic people fail them despite doing well on pure math.
Did you take geometry in a California public school? I did about 20 years ago, and my impression was that it's an extremely fluffy course that would absolutely benefit from being condensed, or at least rewritten.

California math education (again, at the time I took it) was already extremely oddly paced. The Algebra 2/Trig class I took was extremely aggressive, and then the year of pre-calc that followed it [1] had about 2 weeks of novel content spread over a year's worth of teaching. I was initially a year behind most of my classmates (starting in junior high), then skipped ahead to do Calculus BC alongside everyone who'd been a year ahead of me---and aced it. On the other hand, the people who were really advanced had already gone on to college courses at that point and basically hadn't bothered with anything in the system for many years.

In short, it's a mess and has been for decades. If they can clean it up a bit and make the pacing more even and integrated, I think that would be a net win.

I must be misunderstanding this. Are you saying that if I have a product that sells for $1, my costs would be:

$0.50 actual cost
$0.34 Amazon fees

So Amazon gets $0.34 and I get $0.16? I don't know anything about retail, but that doesn't seem like a very good deal. Amazon is taking virtually no risk. Why should they get 2x what the seller does?

What is worrying though is that universities preach the same wokeism and seem to apply it to their recruitment. Whatever value they add or not, the top universities form a very effective cartel and gatekeeper to the most prestigious and/or lucrative careers. This can efficiently cancel the benefits of taking your kids out of public schools.

I think long term, wokeism will kill those universities. A not insignificant part of the population isn’t impressed with slogans like “decolonise maths”, and the perception that they are handing over diplomas in the name of social justice, rather than skills, inflates away the value of those diploma. My own modest contribution to their demise is to give equal consideration to CVs of candidates from less prestigious universities. And I have seen enough idiots graduating from top universities to think that this credentials system was broken even before wokeism.

a. That isn't "simply" what Social Justice is. Not by a long shot, not in practice.

b. It sounds like you are arguing for Equality based on merit, allowing each person a chance to thrive. I agree, that would be great. But what is actually happening is different: equity, where in practice most implementations stunt growth and paper over achievement gaps.

c. I want a equal opportunity to thrive. But "social justice" is also extra-judicial justice. It sounds nice, but isn't waht I want.

> Whether it’s three weeks old or three years old, aged eggnog is actually safer to drink than fresh eggnog made with raw eggs—as long as you put plenty of booze in it. (Not that raw eggs are all that dangerous in the first place.

So surely you're on board with fighting any racism or sexism in the classroom, right?

Consequently, I'm much more productive when bringing up a board at work where my office is optimized for software and is nice and clean, my lab is optimized for hardware and is goopy and dirty at times, and I have lots of space for both.

But, then, we also don't believe in the "open office" idiocy, so we put people in their own spaces with a door they can close.

We all know what initiatives like California's leads to. Parents from middle to upper class families will send their kids to private schools or invest in extracurricular math programs. This will be especially true in immigrant and tech-worker parents who know the value of a strong STEM education. Only people who suffer will be kids from families without the means or the desire to go beyond public education - most likely the same people that these initiatives purport to help.
This wasn't done by NSO knowingly. I have no reason not to believe them on that, they have a financial and strategic interest not to piss America off that bad. Also - Uganda is not Iran, it's a friendly country. Unfortunately someone there decided to use it against American diplomats which is unfortunate.

Also, it helps to have some intuition of geometry when you're actually building something (whether that be construction, mechanical engineering, woodcutting, papercrafting, you name it...)

Geometry is one of those things that you can teach in the utmost horrible way though (make students memorize theorems verbatim), I understand why students can perceive it as incredibly boring and useless.
First up, everyone is different. Some people can be alone for days without fuss, others feel like you.

I can easily do days without other people, but I would keep myself very busy (hobbies, sports, projects, books...).

If you are unused to it, avoid just passing time doing nothing or watching TV, find a purpose to your alone time.

If you can't, don't sweat it and find a roommate or a partner :)
> The problem with this world-view is that it's a fallacy.

There's nothing fallacious about the concept that security controls are just roadblocks. There is no such thing as perfect security for a system that requires someone to be able to access or use it. All security controls do is provide time and/or notification of someone trying to break in, if all goes well. Then you can hope to mount a more active defense of some sort if needed.

> You're assuming that people won't be bothered by having to re-type their password all the time, and just implement a "secure" script using a setuid bit instead.

Obviously there's a trade off for how cumbersome it is to use something in an authorized manner and how much people will attempt to work around that inconvenience. What is a fallacy is that any inconvenience in the same of security is not worthwhile.

In many configurations of sudo shipped by default in common distros, it caches your auth for that tty for a number of minutes, so after you auth you don't have to auth again for a while. You can easily change this, and make it so that after you auth in a tty, you won't have to auth again for 24 hours if you wanted. You would still have quite a bit of protection from attackers (at least those that weren't at an unlocked screen of yours with one of those terminals), and entering a password once a dayis probably acceptable to most people (in reality, once a day per terminal they want to use it in, but it's not hard to keep one terminal open for secure use).

> Now someone else intentionally adds the ability to allow that script to execute arbitrary commands and you've got a vulnerability with passworded sudo that would have never happened with passwordless sudo.

It's hard to protect against stupidity. Either train people to not to stupid things, or if your security policy is actually too onerous, then reassess what the correct policy should be and implement it. To be clear, I doubt the correct policy is "let's just turn off all the security because we're lazy".

> That's conceptually the same as insisting on passworded sudo in terms of security.

It's easy to say it is, because almost everything is conceptually the same thing if you boil them down to a few related concepts and attributes and then ignore the magnitude and impact of those things. I mean, shooting someone with a Nerf gun and shooting someone with a Glock are conceptually the same things, right?

So, please, let's not act like having to enter your password once every few minutes when needed for root access (or longer, if you configure it to) is equivalent to jumping through multiple systems, authing additional times at each level, and requiring OOB auth additionally. If you're really annoyed by sudo, just "sudo bash" and keep the terminal open. At least you still get some protection from local user access privilege escalation.
If employers wish to give every single on-site worker their own individual independently ventilated office, I'm down for returning to the office. But that would cost money. As would daily rapid antigen tests for everyone coming into the office that day.

Open Office floor plans already were Petri dishes for infection before the pandemic. Now they are an incremental risk factor for premature death. Who needs that? The world has changed. People trying to return to the before times will be foiled by biology itself.

But also I 100% support people opting into going back to the office with zero protection or any liability for their employers should something unfortunate happen. They should be forced to sign a big release indicating they understand the risks and that they accept it is all on them.
Thanks for this. It's important to highlight that if students had problems with one area of math but are talented in another that they might never experience that they are good at when math is taught area by area and not in an integrated way.

Math is not scalar is skill! When I am working with Boolean value function i almost always need to draw a table of all options while in Linear Algebra or numerics of differential equations I have a quiet good intuition.
If the universe is infinitely large (as we suspect it is), then it should also be infinitely small (even beyond our capacity to measure it). Otherwise, it's not really infinite.

It's actually a lot better if they reject ideas of natural gifts and talents but at the same time admit that a lot of those "gifts" are given post-birth by childhood education.
