I really don't believe that - it does not match my experience at all. It's just that there are a lot of conflicting forces at play. It's taken my whole career to get better at balancing those forces, and it changes for each scenario. Building software is a people problem, and people (like software) are hard.
I have been building websites professionally since 1995, including ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP, Perl, lots of other stuff.

This is offensive. They outlined how they disagree with the Israeli government pretty clearly in their comment.
I’ve read most of the text. It’s pretty misleading to say the guidelines don’t ban accelerated courses, because they don’t really have a concept of “banning” things in general; they’re a vision of what the curriculum should look like, not a list of rules. The guidelines do make it pretty clear that accelerated classes are not part of the vision.
It was either forcefully vaccinated or forcefully infected by the unvaccinated. I’m thankful we’re making the right choice.
This is what I've been doing too, coordinated with other team members. We usually go in on planning or big meeting days. I sure don't want to go in every day but 2 - 3 days is perfect to get out of the house and see some new people.

This makes me sad. High school Geometry without proofs is indeed not worth keeping. (Except maybe as a two week discussion of triangles and right angles so that students understand what they are when they hit trig.)
I lived near a Samsonite factory (they manufactured Lego in Canada) and my bricks were purchased in giant shopping bags. They were all seconds which means some parts had color problems, some were a bit melted, some were cracked, etc... Mostly they were fine and I had a lot of bricks.
1) No relevance to the phenomenon the experiment demonstrates. The end result in the screen is noisy from all possible interactions with no relevance to the demonstration. The wall must not allow the particle trough.

2) The nature or the origin of particle does not have relevance in the experiment. Double slit experiment is now done with molecules made of 2000+ atoms and 10k electrons. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-019-0663-9
Agreed. Personally I think we should swap our high school curriculum:

Geometry -> Proofy Linear Algebra
Trig -> Computational Linear Algebra

I think the heydey of Trig was in the age of navigation and the heydey of Geometry was in the age of machines. Meanwhile, today, linear algebra has supplanted both of them, runs the world besides, and it seems to only be getting started.

Nope, I am not at all an expert and I likely misspoke, I think a better explanation would be that literacy in the Mediterranean sea area was dramatically reduced for all the cultures that remained after the Bronze Age collapse.

Losing or reducing literacy is not different (in my opinion) than losing an advanced technology.

Based on personal experience, one might not know how much more pleasant a (good) elder-care living experience can be without experiencing it personally.

It has been a godsend for our family that my parents were able to move into a retirement community that offers a progression of care. My Dad has progressive supranuclear palsy and requires relatively constant care, while my stepmother is better able to live her life with some of the chores/maintenance handled by professionals.

I don't know if there are eldercare places that let potential residents try retirement living/assisted-living out for a month or so, but the community and amenity experiences can yield a flowering of life after elders have though that they were condemned to almost home-isolation by their mobility.

The fact that your Dad has the fortitude to crawl up a flight of stairs every day is truly admirable -- the key is helping him find his way toward a situation where that kind of effort is optional and safer, rather than a requirement and a risk. As @crispyambulance says in a nearby thread, falls are the big risk.

Good luck -- none of this is easy, but with experienced assistance, it need not be a series of unexpected calamities.

"You can pay in more places! Our first version of the Privacy Card worked well for creating one-time use cards, setting spend limits, and locking cards to specific merchants. However, some merchant policies prevented our cards from being accepted online. The new version of our Privacy Cards maintains all of the privacy and security features you love while expanding the places where our cards are accepted."

Google was one of those merchants. I've been using this service for a few years now and it has saved me from so many headaches.
It seems to me that the right (if unrealistic) way to address this is to make searching P2P so there is no small number of people to arrest for this. Governments can't arrest double digit percentages of their citizens... that looks really bad.
That is definitely the goal long-term, but I don't think it will be possible with Illustrator.

> tabula rasa idealism has made a serious resurgence in leftist and liberal circles

Maybe from liberals, but from what I've seen not the left. Marx's mantra is literally "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", it has nothing to do with liberal conceptions of tabula rasa idealism. I've never seen a leftist who asserts that people start from a blank state and can be "anyone" depending on the circumstances, that statement will get you accused of having bourgeois sensibilities who ignore the material forces of the world.
Different people reacts differently. I normally drinks 2-3 cups a day, last one sometimes after 8 PM. So to test some claims about coffee being so bad etc, I completely removed coffee from my life for a month - zero difference. And the same is true for Yerba Mate for me (although with Yerba I definitely feel different for few hours). But I believe that some simply react more to this substance.

1. There are a number of organizations using CentOS Stream 8 in production, and I expect that those same organizations will do the same with CentOS Stream 9 shortly. For example, I'm aware that the folks working in the CentOS Hyperscale SIG are all folks working on uplifting to CentOS Stream 9 after working on Stream 8 for the past couple of years.

2. Mapping to the Debian/Ubuntu model gets a bit interesting. Ubuntu regular releases (made every six months) map to Fedora Linux. Every three years, Fedora Linux releases are branched to become CentOS Stream. This is analogous to the Debian or Ubuntu LTS release cadence. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the commercially branded version of CentOS Stream, which is in beta now and the GA version will launch next May.

The lifecycle of Fedora Linux, CentOS Stream, and RHEL releases are not exactly the same as Debian/Ubuntu ones.

* Fedora Linux releases every 6 months, each release is supported for ~13 months. (no real analogue)

* CentOS Stream releases every 3 years, each release is supported for ~6 years. (much like Debian and Ubuntu LTS)

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases every 3 years, each release is supported for 10 years. (no real analogue)

The end of CentOS Linux 8 was announced last year, so people had 12 months to do something. The project's preferred option is folks move to CentOS Stream 8, but you could easily move to RHEL itself (especially with the free subscription option now available with 16 entitlements) or another RHEL rebuild like AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8, or Oracle Linux 8 (and indeed, lots of folks have).

To some degree yes, everyone had at least back to the office to some extent on weekly basis, but people aren't all appearing at once on a single day, so it is still pretty nice and quiet.

I learned the conversion factors approach in chemistry but it's really just a basic math process of starting with something in one unit set, having a target unit and applying conversions until you get to your goal. It's probably the single most powerful technique I took from public school.

If you think we can teach CS at any sort of non-trivial level without an understanding of math beyond grade 7/8 you don't really know what computer science is. Even if you mean "programming", kids want to primarily build games which involves tonnes of HS math. Even shop courses often involve questions like "find the center of an object".
Yes! And deleting large amounts of code from a massive tightly-coupled monolith is a great way to learn that first-hand. I like to say that you learn a lot more from dealing with a legacy monolith than you do by implementing the latest clean patterns. It eliminates a lot of cargo-cult mentality and lets you really see what patterns make the difference.

There's some similarities with the supersonic trebuchet to these ideas, in terms of engineering.

Mach 33 is needed to escape orbit, so if you were going to launch a ball bearing into space, you'd need something at least 33 times more powerful than the rubber bands and 2x4 trebuchet.

https://youtu.be/gdXOS-B0Bus

It'd be interesting to run through those parameterizations with assumptions scaled to maximize a payload for reaching orbit using things like modern high strength steel and mechanical advantage and so on. It seems possible.

The amount of energy involved is terrifying - a space launch trebuchet would also be an anti-tank trebuchet.

Why would there be pushback if they can just send their kids to private schools and not bear the negative consequences? Virtue signalling is actually advantageous to them. If they handicap all the public school kids then their own kids will be more likely to get into the top schools that manufacture scarcity.
Yes, sounds like this could be a wise move. My dad (now 95, living alone in his 3-storey house since mum died around 7 years ago) had one installed a few years back, and although he doesn't always use it, it's invaluable for the times/days when he's feeling that bit less mobile. Without it, he couldn't have stayed in the house -- and leaving it is almost unthinkable. (Sure, some day there may be no choice. But it has unquestionably given him additional years of independence and stability in his own home.)

Can anyone of the "old" group explain what the benefit of vim is, if we have nano now? Having missed the days when only vim was there, I find it perplexing that vim is sometimes suggested. Personally, I have to look up each single keystroke in vim when nano just seems to follow common UX conventions.
FYI the first cited research is to the work of the primary author of the CMF. Her work appears to be very ideologically-motivated, and her colleagues have raised serious questions about her research. She also routinely misrepresents the work of others. Based on what I have read [1, 2 of many], I no longer trust anything she says without checking the actual source.

Based on coverage I've read, the CMF does not cite, acknowledge, or discuss any of the critiques of Boaler's work. If they had good responses to these critiques, they probably would have spent some of their 800 pages addressing these serious challenges.

Machines aren't rational at all. That is, they do not respond to reasons.

Machine behaviour is only ever caused (i.e. syntactic), not reasoned.

When a human follows a rule, for example as part of a bureaucracy, then our behaviour is merely caused. But we can also be given reasons to not follow the given rule.

This is precisely why "I was just following orders" is not a valid defence; even soldiers are expected to use their reasoning to disobey illegal orders.
Because social justice and gender ideology are universal, important concepts that apply in mathematics and science as well?

I fail to see how it is "clearly" indoctrination as it is taught critically (as is well evidenced in the link) unless you are some sort of "anti-SJW warrior" against any sort of modernization of our curriculum.
I'm never heard of a middle school offering trigonometry or calculus. The rare kid who is ready for those topics by age 13 can be accommodated by allowing him to attend that class at the local high school.

A middle school algebra teacher should of course understand middle school algebra. This is not an unreasonable expectation for a job that requires a college education. If a teacher lacks the ability to master middle-school algebra, how on earth did he get into college?

Culture and identity have always been present in math. Starting words problems with "Bob makes $50,000 a year" or "Alice needs 10 onions from the store" helps frame men as workers and women as home-makers. Taken by themselves they're fairly innocuous. Combined with every other social signal children hear every day, they can perpetuate out of date and harmful stereotypes.

The whole of your reply is scary.

I guess it's just I think that the pursuit of knowledge shall have nothing to do with any one 'identity' or 'ideology'. It is orthogonal to that, or it just doesn't work and then why teach something that does not work.
I always make my text black by overriding CSS that makes it some stupid shade of grey.

> When you start out with flawed assumptions

This is not a flawed assumption with respect to baseline high school learning.

People can be taught much more mathematics and science than they normally learn.

This is not limited to STEM--people can be taught to write much better than they normally learn, as well.

The trick with the students is getting to the students before the "I'm not a <X> person/<X> isn't for me" kicks in. That means you have to get them in the 5th-8th grades--5th is a bit early/8th is a bit late.
