In a field test, 19% of them failed the test (or, as they'd put it: "around 1 in 12" :) ).

> The EQAO led a field test between February 18 and March 7, 2020 to monitor, assess, and
refine the implementation of the MPT before it was launched. A total of 4,065 applicants
participated in the field test, with 81 percent successfully completing the MPT. The field
test allowed the EQAO to test MPT items with the applicant population and collect data to
establish items as valid and defensible.

IMO, if you fail this test, you have no business holding a teaching certificate that would allow you to teach math. It seems like the issue is that teaching certificates in that area do not adequately distinguish teachers who are certified to teach math up to 6th grade (where a general certificate is all that's required). Fixing that would seem to (me at least to) allow the testing to continue to be qualified to teach math. Fail the math competency test and you can teach other subjects. (That might not be ideal, but it's way better than having teachers who aren't competent in math teaching math.)
Maybe a math competency test is more appropriate.

I learnt coding with Codecademy back in 2013. I was 32 years old with a career in marketing. Their Python class was the perfect introduction to coding in general and I got hooked instantly. I took my first job as a software developer 6 years ago after an intense 2 years of self learning following the codecademy class . I'm now senior data engineer in a pretty big company in Europe. I feel blessed for discovering Codecademy.

A big thanks to them. I owe them my new career.

I definitely wouldn't want to be legally represented by a lawyer that failed to pass the bar exam or receive surgery from a doctor who failed the USMLE. Would I care that my Spanish teacher failed a math exam? Probably not. However, so long as there isn't any evidence of discriminatory intent, this should be decided through a legislature, not a court.

No, this would be significant evidence that the average person doesn’t need to be great at math only if you knew for a fact that an alternative universe society with people being better at math had merely comparable societal outcome.

Not having your application packaged up for quick removal strikes me as more polluting. And I don’t really see how an independent solution with almost no documentation and zero configuration management support (eg Ansible) is easier to replicate than a battle tested industry standard with widespread support.

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against building things for fun. But the technical arguments made for why this is preferable over an established solution doesn’t stack up.
After looking at a handful of questions, I'd want a teacher who couldn't initially pass this test to be trained in math at this level first, but not disqualified from teaching. Teach them what they need that they're missing.

Mathematical concepts do not translate into the real world, it's that pesky little difference between theory and practice. You'll never run out of numbers but you will run out of everything else and usually a lot sooner than you think.

They have an exponential complexity in general case, I guess that's the reason. There is a way to make them be of polynomial complexity in the worst case, but it requires quite an ingenious memoization technique, coupled with lazy evaluation.
An example of a concrete usage of parser combinators and their performance: OCaml's http/af library [1] is a web server that uses parser combinators to implement HTTP 1.1. As for the performance, it's in the ballpark of Go's net/http and Rust's hyper [2]. There's also h2 [3] that implements HTTP 2. They are based on Angstrom [4], which started as a direct port of attoparsec [5], cited in the article. It's great to see all the cross-pollination happening in that space!

A DNA molecule is very long, it has of the order of 1 billion nucleotides. You don’t need entire molecules to do the sequencing, just segments. Even if you had the entire molecules, you would start by splitting them up [1].

If you can retrieve enough segments, you might try some sort of Bayesian inference. You start with the DNA of the common ancestor of reptiles and dinosaurs (and therefore birds). You don’t know what it was, but you know that it evolved into the current reptiles and birds via random mutations followed by adaptive selections. You get a posterior for it, then you use it as a prior for the DNA of the dino for which you have sequenced a number of segments.

> The other side of that coin is who will the West buy their goods from

Themselves? Allied nations? Other countries around the world? Your entire discussion centers around this idea that all resources and all things are made in these non-western countries. It's a faulty assumption. China is dependent on imports as well - remember the rolling blackouts shutting down factories in China when they stopped coal imports to teach Australia a lesson and then Australia just sold the coal elsewhere? [1]

Europe is "dependent" on Russian gas but those who are in charge in Russia really like that European money and their vacation homes. Long-term Europe is just fine here because they can just build alternative energy sources (warming planet may make much of Europe even less dependent on Russian natural gas for heating). It doesn't help them today but if the costs are too high there becomes a point that it's either not worth it, or liquified natural gas products from the US become attractive. It should go without saying that the oligarchs in Russia who run these companies... like not having their villas in London confiscated due to "sanctions". There's an upper limit on the maximum pain (outside of actual war) that either will inflict upon the other.

The EU dependency on Russian gas thing is yet another overly simplified boogeyman like the US Dollar Reserve Currency status. What is actually concerning is Ukraine and how serious Putin is about invading and starting a war and whether or not he stops at Ukraine or does something drastic. I don't think the EU will be able to coordinate an effective military response which may lead to the block dissolving, especially if Putin does something crazy like invade Poland or some NATO country that isn't "important" - will the West really go to war? If Putin gambles here I don't think nukes will fly. So now Russia gets to fight a conventional war in Europe without existential risk - it's a great move for him geopolitically and strategically. EU member states such as France and Germany (the former is the only one that appears to have the ability to even fight) would basically go into a "save yourself" mode and start acting independently when push comes to shove. Outside of the UK most of the rest of the EU is far too small or useless to do anything. Americans are much more willing to fight in Europe than Italians or Spaniards are and I don't think we'd even send ground troops unless we're in an actual World War III scenario which nobody in the West wants to engage in, hence the stronger Russian upper hand here. Though I wouldn't put it past the U.S. to take a chance to really screw with Russia here in the meantime. [2]

I wonder how that happened. Interesting coincidental timing.

Anti-delete is configurable. Most large companies with stiff retention policies decide to enable it.
I don't have a proper answer (because it's a good and difficult question), but I sort of think of it as a context-dependant thing.

E.g., During a customer interview where I'm trying to understand what they've done (and predict what they'll do), I have vanishingly low confidence in their self-predicted behavior. So I prefer to try to look at what they've actually done in the past, talk to them to understand why they did it that way instead of some other way, tease out the invisible data (like what they tried or researched but didn't continue with), and then come to my own conclusion about how that's all likely to extrapolate.

But in terms of understanding and ascribing purpose to my experiences? Or understanding and empathizing with a friend or stranger? Or sending a message out into the world in a way that can stick and spread? In that case, it's kind of a subjective thing to start with, and it's all about the stories. (To clarify: not intentionally fanciful or fictional stories. Just "stories" in the sense of how we tie all these things that happen into something coherent and ordered.)

That was kind of a non-answer, and I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I only understand a very, very small number of things. (Three, I think, although I'm working hard on understanding the fourth.) Apart from those few narrow domains, I'm just fumbling through it like everybody else.

So, I actually took home ec because I had an otherwise dead period in the middle of the day that had to be filled, and, aside from mechanics of cooking, it was largely hyperspecific applications of math proficiency. Psychology is a science. So, I mean, the specifics on your list aren't really holding up the anti-STEM thesis. Anti-TE maybe, though maybe if you added the next three important items, two of them would cover those areas as well.

Generally refunding money for TOS violations should be mandatory, and failing to do so should have a default assumption of fraud on the part of the provider. Let me explain why.

Imagine that Alice purports to run a service where you can send people greeting cards. Bob decides that he's going to use this service to send greeting cards. Alice takes Bob's money, and never sends any greeting cards. When Bob asks why the greeting cards weren't sent, Alice claims a TOS violation and cancels Bob's account. In some cases, Alice may not even provide sufficient information to dispute a claim, such as when Alice's own proprietary anti-fraud or anti-cheat algorithms have a false positive.

Should Bob get a refund? If he doesn't, Alice has no incentive to provide the actual service or to avoid false-positives. She's costing Bob the subscription fees, but can unilaterally decide whether or not to provide the agreed-upon service.

That's why TOS violations should always trigger a refund.
But not exclusively. There were pre-K-Pg avians, too.

While I'm not a big fan of Tinder, monetizing romantic/sexual interest is nothing new. In fact, it's historically been the norm rather than the exception. The "Monetization & Defenestration" approach may not have been done through a shitty app, but a shitty date can you get kicked out of a bar, a concert, a restaurant, a nightclub, etc. for no reason and with no recourse for your money back even if you've done nothing wrong. I don't say this to justify these acts, but to acknowledge that they exist. While I hope OP fights the charges, $20 is a small sum to lose in comparison to a $200 concert ticket.
For Teams it's already too hard to scroll up in a chat. It keeps jumping around and often automatically scrolls down to the bottom again. With this in mind I don't expect search to do anything.

Ah, you mean for Brits to go to work outside of the UK now versus someone originally from Poland who would want to go to work somewhere else in the EU. Right, but that's mirrored by how hard it would be for someone else from some EU country to come to work in the UK now. The UK very explicitly negotiated for that.

Strongest part of the article seems to be "Call it Valve’s middle finger to Windows", which is author's comment. AFAIR, Gabe Newell didn't like MS policies with windows 8, but I never got the feeling of SteamOS release being anything close to "we will take Windows down!".

I have used an ARM Synology NAS but found it highly inadequate for running services ... or anything but basic storage, really.

Only the x86 models support running Linux containers, packaging an application for Synology didn't exactly seem easy to to and the UI is almost unusably sluggish and has super confusing UX (it emulates a desktop environment in the browser ... right, very cool).

Running an own standard Linux-based NAS is more effort, but not terribly so. The additional flexibility may be worth it: It makes it quite painless to integrate with other data sources and sinks for backups and stuff and can run a lot of personal services (home automation, budgeting tool, IRC bouncer ...).
That’s not what parent was asking about. The question is if a company of certain size is more likely to suffer from an outage on AWS compared to own hardware.

I’ve been deploying to AWS for years and can’t remember and outage on their side in my region. But this is anecdotal and doesn’t necessarily reflect the statistics.
you'll note that I pointed out that of the STEM fields, maths is actually useful.

Lookingglass, as another user mentioned, peers directly into the framebuffer for an effectively latency-free display experience on the host.

You can also connect the graphics device that's passed through to an external display.

As an example, my SO and I can both play a multiplayer game from the same computer this way. I can use a VM with lookingglass on my Linux host while she uses a monitor connected to the GPU her VM has attached, along with a passed-through hub with mouse and keyboard.

It helps that Threadripper has two NUMA nodes, but it's possible on any system with good IOMMU grouping.
> The grades should be based on effort applied at whatever skill level those kids are at.

Are you suggesting that PE should have different grading procedures than other subjects (which reward measured results, or at least in my school did)? Or are you even suggesting in general that all subjects should be graded like this (and for example someone really bad at math but "trying really hard" should actually be getting A's and B's)?

The section after that (the pedagogy section) is different though, and was explicitly called out in the ruling as part of the problem:

Question 1: "Based on Learning For All, which is a shared goal or strategy of differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning? A) To use the same textbooks B) To use only whole-class instruction C) To meet different needs of the students in a class D) To meet the requirements for curriculum expectations"

Question 6 (just clicking through randomly): "Assessment that occurs before a period of learning to assess a student's readiness for learning and learning preferences would be considered which of the following? A) assessment of learning B) assessment as learning C) assessment for learning D) assessment of learning skills"

Question 15: "As outlined in Growing Success, how does Ontario’s criterion-referenced assessment and evaluation approach require teachers to assess and evaluate students’ work? A) by ranking student performance B) by comparing work done by other students C) by referencing performance standards developed by teachers for their own classrooms D) by referencing the established criteria for four levels of achievement that are standard across the province"
Agreed it is hard for those reason you specified.

To do it, first I would not use any cloud features that cannot be easily setup in another cloud. So no lambdas. Just k8s clusters, maybe DBs if they can be setup to backup between clouds. I was able to migrate from AWS k8s to DO K8S very easily.... just pointed my k8s configs to the new cluster (plus configuring the DO load balancers).

In my case, I need the dynamic DNS (havnt looked into it yet), auto-scaling is already setup with k8s, and the DB backups between DBs (next project).
I get a feeling that the comments here read like eulogies. Maybe that's just me due to exposure to skillsoft over the years.
