Hooray! I built the Quinn website[0] and user/high score/game tracker back in the day when I was learning PHP. The archive of that site is pretty great! Even has my own player page[1].

I found and played Quinn and really wanted to play with others so I reached out to the developer to ask whether there was a community of players anywhere and that led us to a conversation about building the site and system. It was great fun.

Some lines of work might not need a meta understanding of prose or poetry - but it can be useful to build up a charismatic (almost cult-like) following if you want to play to the masses.

Alliteration especially when paired with "The rule of 3" is an easy example of a technique you can use to disseminate a memorable message to most people.

Is it useful when writing code? Probably not, but it can help your company when you do your fundraising or pitch to investors.

> It then struck me that many people, if not most, cannot comprehend spending their leisure time in any way other than passively watching movies, TV or videos on their smartphone or playing video games.

And then you go on to describe your own leisure time as two other passive forms of entertainment. There’s really nothing magic about the written word that makes a medium more challenging, because by historical standards people are literally reading more words than ever. And probably listening to more music than ever too. There’s just as much to dissect and analyze in artsy movies and TV as books and music.

Normally when you want to be snobby about leisure time you’re supposed to talk about creating over consuming.

Research, teaching, and service.

As a faculty member, each of your three constituencies is almost completely invisible to the others. So each one thinks you work hardly at all. Only your family sees the total hours, and only your tenure and promotion committee sees the total contributions (and typically they up-weight research, so don't skimp there).
Someone above pointed out that you can remap it for prog-mode which (I think) programming modes derive from so (again, I think) if you remapped it there you would cover the programming modes. Then you could add the few other modes that aren't covered. You would define a list of the modes and loop over them in your init.el to remap them.

The other thing you might want to try is to remap the function indent-for-tab-command to insert-tab.

Beware that Litestream on PaaS has safety concerns unless you can get your PaaS platform to guarantee that the active app instance is terminated before a new instance is booted. Litestream doesn't turn SQLite into an multi-master distributed system.

If two copies of the DB accept writes at the same time, Litestream will just send backups to two different backup generations, and when you restore you'll only pull down one of those generations and won't receive the writes that landed in the other generations. All of your writes will still be in S3, they'll just be peppered across distinct backup snapshots and you can't get all the data back unless you separately restore all relevant generations and manually merge the restored databases.

Well, not all languages have chars. And even in those that do, strings are not always made up of them (e.g. in Rust, char is 32 bits and strings are utf8).
> Beginners have to learn -how- to program on top of the language's syntax and toolchain itself, so it helps tremendously to be able to search online when they get stuck. And boy do they get stuck a lot, in my experience.

While this is not a crazy argument to make, it applies to people teaching themselves to program. If you're teaching someone else how to program, you're very carefully introducing new ideas, you're teaching them what they need to know, and you're answering the questions when they get stuck.

You are referring more to university classes that "teach" programming. That's a little different from this, where the author was actually teaching.

Flickr had already failed before Mayer ever showed up at Yahoo. They pretty much ignored it after the purchase aside from forcing yahoo logins.

Mayer’s failure with Flickr is the same as SmugMug’s: an inability to revive a dying product. At least she tried. But also Flickr was hardly the biggest problem at Yahoo.
Ahh yeah I misread that a bit. Still I don’t necessarily think that’s accurate even regarding the VCs. Their investments and goals sort of run counter to the libertarian types in the crypto community who tend to be focused more on monetary policy or privacy concerns. If anything what the VCs are doing imo is subverting cryptos ability to meet any of the goals of libertarians by focusing most of the development effort in crypto on centralized platforms that look a lot more like traditional tech companies.
For many people, NFTs are also a hobby not an investment. You just hear about the investors because they are the loudest.

You would controlled crash the plane because you would know that jumping over mountainous terrain with vegetation is a great way to break a bone which is going to make getting the heck out of there really, really suck.

A plane like pictured is going to stall at like 40mph so that will be your approximate crash speed, which is really damn survivable in an aircraft with a 4pt belt to keep you off the hard bits of the cabin.

Well, because it is wrong.
Nonetheless, those are not mutually exclusive. The fact that there are bad teachers that do not know how to teach, does not mean that there are no people that legitimately do have learning disabilities.

Sounds like they should understand why contributors are leaving and take measures to simply make them stay. Every country will have different challenge, but it's not hopeless. Keep in mind Japan and South Korea were extremely poor a few decades ago; look at them now!

I used to have a math teacher who would mock me for not doing particularly great. It was very obvious that he derived great pleasure from putting down kids not knowing the material in advance. I had to deal with this psycho from grades 5 to 8.

> “The treatment, known as Stanford accelerated intelligent neuromodulation therapy (SAINT) or simply Stanford neuromodulation therapy, is an intensive, individualized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation. In the study, remission typically occurred within days and lasted months. The only side effects were temporary fatigue and headaches.”

> “Twenty-nine people with treatment-resistant depression participated in the study: About half received SAINT, and the rest underwent a placebo procedure that mimicked the real treatment. After five days of treatment, 78.6% of the participants in the treatment group were no longer depressed, according to several standard methods of evaluation. “It’s quite a dramatic effect, and it’s quite sustained,” said Alan Schatzberg, MD, the Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, who was a co-author of the study.”

Makes me wonder what percentage of the placebo group improved?

It might be that to avoid compiler implementation specific issues, they test code against multiple compilers.
Yes, and this is not Euclidean division in the usual sense.
Is that another word for Brute Forcing?
The language in the reference manual at the end of the book (p. 188) is much more specific. It says:

The binary operator / indicates division. When positive integers are divided, truncation is toward 0, but the form of truncation is machine-dependent if either operand is negative. On all machines covered by this manual, the remainder has the same sign as the dividend. It is always true that (a/b)*b + a%b is equal to a (if b is not 0). The binary % operator yields the remainder from division of the first operand by the second.

That... weird. Having government approved journalists on government payroll sure sounds like something out of China, Russia or Cuba.

The assistant platforms fall back on web search because they want to pretend to be omniscent. If it said in the documentation "here are the 1,602 commands explicitly supported, the data sources it pulls from, and anything else goes to an error message", it wouldn't be magical anymore.

Less magical might be a far better bargain for the platform brands, though. It's literally the face (err, voice) of your brand, and you're fighting a completely adversarial war here. At best, you've got unrelated external data sources that could make it say something stupid, but there's an entire spectrum of bad actors with incentivization to get Alexa/Siri/Google Assistant to say something offensive, scandalous, or hazardous.
It's possible that the engine was out at that point and the prop was just flywheeling. Possible but unlikely as it sounds like the engine is still on in some of the external shots.

The parent is right though. All a "learning disability" is is a requirement for a different approach from the instructor than the one-size-fits-all nonsense that we push down poor kids' throats as "education".

The lack of ability to benefit from this farce in millions of students isn't surprising; and it can be absolutely address with better instruction and individual approach.

I say this as a former instructor, math PhD[1], and also a person with ADHD[2] who persevered through a fair amount of failing grades on the way there.

The #1 reason[3] I ran away from academia was that the system simply doesn't allow one to teach the right way. It's a conveyor-belt manufacturing process with the model 9-5 worker as the intended results, and if you don't fit the mold — tough luck.

One has more leeway in teaching topics courses, but even world-class professors don't get away with not teaching intro/foundation courses, which are as rigid as they're atrocious.

And K12 is where souls go to die. An enthusiastic teacher will burn out in just a few years, and come back with PTSD and a 1000-yard stare.

Anyway. The OP's statement should be seen as "learning durabilities are not an obstacle to a good instructor" — which, in the vast majority of cases, is true.

Indeed. The C99 and C11 standards define integer division as the “algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded”, not as Euclidean division.
I started a part-time masters after graduating with my bachelors degree. Due to my day job workload, I abandoned it after 5 years. BUT I don't regret the decisions. Some of the material I learnt, I am using decades later. The fundamentals of CS have barely changed since the 1970s. The topmost level abstractions obviously have changed, and some architectural considerations are very different, e.g. in the 1980s CPUs were slower than memory, now CPUs are orders of magnitude faster than memory. Which in turn impacts upon the foundational algorithms. However, with suitable knowledge you can adapt to such changes.

If you are just looking at it from getting a better paying job perspective, then you will advance further by taking a lucrative job. However, if you are more motivated to broaden your knowledge then a masters is a good choice.

Funnily, the FCC rules around porting numbers has lead to a lot of this problem.

Telephone numbers used to be handled pretty much like IPv4 addresses. A telecom would get a block of numbers and distribute those to their customers. It wasn't really possible for you to move your number from one carrier to the next.

The 2003 rule change around number porting forced a bunch of upgrades to telecoms to make it possible for any phone operator to send out a call for any number.

The right answer is that Alexa (especially in a "Kids" mode) should only pull from a white-listed, manually vetted data pool. It wouldn't find the list of dangerous challenges in the first place.
