Yeah, my test environment is never going to match the diversity of the real world. I just don't have the equipment or imagination to ad-hoc create the garbage networks the real world has.

Running a new, clean instance doesn't help most networking problems that are an interaction between (usually) kernel bugs in different systems.

How do you figure out your kernel is sending way too many packets out when it gets an ICMP MTU exceeded with the MTU set to the current size without getting lucky with tcpdump. That's a FreeBSD kernel bug/oversight (since fixed) interacting with a Linux routing bug (already fixed when I found it, nut not deployed) where large receive offload resulted in a packet too large to forward even though the on the wire packets were properly sized.

Or that time where syncookies were broken and a very short connection could get restarted but not properly synchronized and both sides send challenge acks for all packets they receive until one side times out (up to line rate if the other party has good connectivity or is localhost). That one needs luck with tcpdump too.

Or when ip fragment processing had a nead infinite loop if you had the right timing, resulting in that rx queue getting hung for hours. Dropping into the kernel debugger made it very quick to debug.

It's quite hard to diagnose MTU issues in general without tcpdump, too. No sane person is going to log all packets for a machine that's pushing 2-20Gbps, or the retention is going to be too short to be useful.

Tcpdump could maybe be handled by port mirroring on a switch, but repeating unknown event triggers partial network outage took seconds to diagnose with the tools on production and would have taken an unknowable amount of time otherwise. Upstream fixed it by accident, and few people would have experienced it because it was unlikely to occur with default settings.

I fix a lot of problems with tcpdump, so all of my problems look tcpdump shaped.

Two double-slit experiment questions
1) Would the fact that the particles interact with the wall edge at the slit affect the results? What if the wall thickness were thinner? Does this affect the resulting pattern? To generate a fringe pattern the slits have to be very small so there is clearly some wall-particle interaction. Wouldn't there be atomic interactions that affect the particles?

2) If photons, for example, are generated from the same source would they be correlated? Would the same results occur is each photon were generated by a different source? When the photon is "measured" by striking the wall it could affect subsequent measurements.

Does anyone know of source papers that address these questions?
This isn't studying the risk of infection per se, is it? It's calculations of probabilities of certain kinds of particles being exchanged between subjects in different situations, and making some assumption on the level of risk of infection those correlate too.
From the post: “The report states that while 80% of all students have access to Algebra I in middle school, only 24% enroll.”

A solution is to enroll all students in schools that offer the course by default, but let some opt out if they have a very good reason to do so (ie, nudging in behavioral economics term.) A potential problem is the pressure to water down the course for unwilling students but many countries have already solved that by having different streams/versions of the course.

Another objection is that it could be too hard for some students. I’d say it should be possible for a majority of students to understand Algebra I if they are taught properly, as in the case of many countries with high PISA Math score. In these countries/regions, to my knowledge, much of Algebra I is taught in math courses compulsory for ALL middle school students.

PISA 2018 results: https://www.oecd.org/pisa/PISA-results_ENGLISH.png

I grew up in Asia, taught math there for several years, and have run a tutoring school specializing in math tutoring there for over a decade. I was quite surprised when I saw how easy the American math curriculum/textbook is for a given grade. (I’d say 1-3 grades easier than Asian counterparts) Others in Quora have expressed the same sentiment.

Math is a skill that requires a great deal of time to master. Those who start properly sooner tend to have an advantage. US schools should offer more advanced math courses to all students at a younger age, rather than the reverse.

So, until buildings are retrofitted to deal with EV fires this proposal seems reasonable. It's going to be interesting when EVs become the majority, but by that point they can be self driving and shared vehicles / always running and doing something.
Author of another [1]vim learning tool here.

I launched it 10 months ago on [2]HN and that launch ended up leading me down the path to start a company and get accepted into YC.

It's cool to see other people's take on a problem but this feels eerily similar to my tool, down to some of the copy, layout, and pricing.

The irony is that this same logic is twisted beyond recognition to justify these “alternative” curricula: just because these math classes don’t look like yours (algebra is “white” math, I guess) doesn’t mean they aren’t just as valuable.

> it means that half the pieces are now custom made for the particular set

I do not believe this is true. There are Lego enthusiasts that thoroughly review every new set and are careful to point out the introduction of new pieces and new building techniques. The number of new pieces per set is very low, and even then the pieces are typically well received for the number of new build techniques they may open up.
> Many apps I know simply have 1 user "myappuser" (or even default user) to access its DB.

Sure; either those apps don't need to differentiate access between their users, in which case one role is sufficient, or they reimplement their own auth system, in which case you'd use Postgres' own rather robust auth system instead. It comes down to the needs of the domain; you'll solve the problems differently depending on what approach you take, but you need to solve the same problems.

Yes -- I've found it very tiring, as you put it, to keep reimplementing the same boilerplate in every API server just to lift the operations my database can already support out to an HTTP frontend. Postgres' auth means I don't have to make or press into service a separate auth system, and there are multiple ways to handle business logic orthogonally.

Stored procedures and triggers work well, but are synchronous within the current transaction, and sometimes simply don't map well to the domain needs. You can also use the AWAIT and NOTIFY statements to set up asynchronous external workers. I find this has a positive effect on the data model, as you're forced to consider what states a system will pass through during an asynchronous flow.

The guy in Seattle is a capitalist. If you don't like his decisions, you are free to ignore him and not do any business with him. Of course, many of his decisions do benefit you -- low prices, free delivery, wide range of products, displaying reviews, etc. -- but again, you aren't obligated to participate or interact. In fact, even if you refuse to buy from Amazon, you still benefit -- because of competition, your favorite store probably also offers free delivery or has low prices because it needs to compete.

If a committee of Senators, on the other hand, makes a declaration -- Amazon cannot sell Chinese goods cheaper than American-made alternatives -- or maybe, delivery times to rural areas must match those to cities -- then everybody loses, and you can't opt out of that.
I don't think most Apple customers know or care so despite being ostensibly "privacy focused" Apple doesn't have much of an incentive to take action.
While both are clearly important, if we only have so many hours in the day I'd rather a high school student have a grasp on basic stats than basic formal proofs.

As a data point of one (heh there's that stats again...) my two high school geometry classes 15 years ago never touched any proofs. I have no clue if they still teach that way.

Edit: just noticed that I'm replying to someone who is far more knowledgeable about math than me. I stand by my point though, people like Colin can seek that out in more advanced classes.
Teaching Pod start up is seeming like a better idea everyday.
I find this to be more true in "gift-priced" sets. ~$25 and less.

But once you hit the ~$30+ sets, you see more and more creativity with the generic pieces. I would assume that the cheaper sets need to look good but have fewer pieces, so they reach for bigger pieces to fill in the gaps.

$100+ sets are mind-blowing in how fun they are to assemble and to see the level of creativity the designer(s) used to create the set. I got the recently released Mario question block cube. And I can't get over how fun it was to assemble.

I think the summary is: to really get to the "reusablility" there's a tipping point in those price ranges I listed above. If you buy a bunch of little sets or one big set, you'll hit that point.
I think separate living spaces is really critical (I can't imagine doing it in the same space). My mom usually comes over in the morning to help get the kids out the door for school, but other than that it's not uncommon for us to go at least a day or two without seeing them.

If you're going into it with a "give it a shot" attitude, be sure to do it early enough that changing plans is still an option.

To put this really bluntly, these companies would _prefer_ that kind of system. Right now the problem is that they are held legally liable if they incorrectly reject a copyright complaint (which, by the way, can only be determined to be valid in court) but only run the risk of pissing off users if they accept a fraudulent one.

The problem here is not convenience, it's that copyright was designed for an era when it was kind of hard to copy things. The DMCA was a good shim to make it feasible for Internet companies to even exist, but it's not enough to fix things in a world where literally every single bit of IP can be copied or downloaded in less than a day.

If, for example, Congress required content owners to submit copies of their works to some centralized US copyright database as a condition for being eligible to receive damages from platforms, that would go a long way to fix things on its own. Expanding the explicit set of fair use exemptions and allowing them to matter outside of a court would also be a big help.

Btw, let me cover this one again. Copyright for the photo of your family actually belongs to the photographer.

Without explicit permission from the photographer, you might not be able to use it for any purpose either (eg. print it out and put it on the wall).

I have used all of those editors and a dozen more over the years, but Vim is just the best by a large margin (IMO). The neovim plugin ecosystem includes everything I could possibly want from those IDEs, for every language, and most importantly, only the things I want. Even if we dismiss vim's editing capabilities and its native integration with the wider linux ecosystem (tmux, zsh, ssh, etc), the best part about vim is that it's a blank slate that you can build into an IDE that's highly tuned to the work you do and the way you think, rather than trying to shoehorn every new IntelliJ feature into your workflow just because it exists in an IDE dropdown menu.

I don't begrudge anyone that says "wow, I don't want to take the time to research every damn feature of my IDE, just let me work", that's totally reasonable, and any of those IDEs will let you get the job done - for me - the time invested is worth it because of how much of my life is spent editing files on my computer.
Crudely, we would say "don't shit where you eat". I've heard from the early (as in, 80's) hacking days some of the people in the US would never hit targets in their own state, as there wasn't good federal-level enforcement nor inter-state collaboration. Of course that would backfire today because you're immediately commiting crimes across state lines...

> not forcing people who are interested/capable in stem to suffer through perfunctory humanities courses

I hated my humanities courses all through middle and high school and college. I took as many advanced math/science courses as my high school had. I graduated from a well-regarded technical university.

My humanities courses have probably had more positive impact on my career earnings than my tech courses. I feel like I should find my old English teachers and apologize to them.
As an American, it's becoming harder for me to muster sympathy for an entity that actively discovers and exploits technological flaws to use against their adversaries while simultaneously purposefully not alerting the manufacturers in order to correct the flaws so they can continue to exploit them and then those flaws are subsequently discovered by others and used against them. Poor you.

>Im so bewildered I’ll just ask “what problem you can possibly have with luxury cars and jewelry?”

I don't believe you. It is pretty obvious someone would object to luxury cars and jewelry:

1. Luxury cars are often wasteful or dangerous to be around.

2. The resources for jewelry are scarce and often extracted with slave labor.

3. Both are often used as displays of wealth, intended to demean people who can't afford them.

I love fast cars and I wear jewelry. I hate the fact that these beautiful things are corrupted by their use as tools of oppression.

I got nothing out of my high school geometry class but loved my foundations class in college.

I think the difference in this setup is that you sit further away from the large screen than from the small one. And then, it becomes more of an issue. I haven't seen it myself though, only hearsay.

I suppose this is a new trend, but there's constant pressure to lower the standards here in California. We genuinely graduate some students who can't multiply as-is.

I went to Sonoma State, which at the time had at least 3 semesters of remedial math you could take, plus a tutoring program, trying to fill in the knowledge a high school graduate was supposed to have. The state got mad about all those classes because the high schools were supposed to cover the material.

The point is though that most dog breeds are already too inbred .

I.e. even if your particular dog isn't inbred according to some particular measure - the entire dog breed are already way too much inbred and have very little genetic diversite. Leading up to most dogs of that breed having multiple deficits.

Well. I seem to be unable to replace the card I created for a purchase with Affirm using the new cards.

A lot of my use case for Privacy.com was avoiding giving out my debit card (and thus, direct debiting against my checking account). If this switch means it no longer enables that (just replaces a credit card), my usage of them drops quite a bit. It's nice to be able to cap a charge against the card I guess, but the level of effort required doesn't really give me the peace of mind needed to warrant it.
I'm not certain how relevant that is. I definitely don't feel more awake 6 hours after coffee let alone 12 so clearly not all effects are still there. Claims like these are quoting numbers while implying things which aren't true a priori.

Makes sense. Even from the outside the absolute interest of the 2005 generation in Myspace YouTube and Facebook was extraordinary at the time.

Trying to recapture that high of being the absolute crest of the wave of the future makes sense as a motivation for someone who has it all.

Note: My dad has alzheimer's His wife is taking care of him at the moment but we, my brother and I, can see he's mostly done and she's having a hard time. By "mostly done" I mean while he still seems like our Dad it feels more like he was replaced by a robot. He recognizes us and has lots of memories and can still have a conversation but he's got no "spirit", motivation, will. He does nothing. Apparently he'd have stayed in bed 24/7 if she hadn't moved the TV to the living room.

We don't really know what to do or how to help. I suspect if she left we'd put him in a home. Neither of us have the time or inclination to be there for him. It doesn't help that he moved 2000 miles away for ~30yrs so as much as we love him he hasn't been a part of our lives. He's now ~100 miles away but even if he was 1 mile away I'm not sure what more we'd be willing to do.
