The critical difference is simple: for students, the hierarchy is flat. In particular, there is no risk that a student gets promoted to being a teacher (even if they know more).

Even among teachers, it isn't the case - there is internal politics as in every workplace.

I agree that this view it is not popular, but I also do not think that supporters often articulate their view/support well. I am a hard materialist and the amount of platonic-leaning discourse around the fundamentals of mathematics confuses me. I do not know how so many people (typical those outside philosophy and mathematical foundations) just assume a platonic style view.

Managing expectations re:v2 has been a total failure on our part. We put far too many things in one basket. But the work is still happening.

Learning moment for us: don't give timelines and don't reveal too much. Just say "when it's finished." Only Elon Musk can use Elon Time(tm). :)

Edit: we also promised some things that are just brutally hard, like fully decentralizing the root backplane via full data set replication. We are still working on that but it proved tougher than we originally thought, especially in light of scaling needs and security concerns. Some interesting technology in development but still in private repos.

Our competition just builds SaaS with a single controller run by a single entity. That's easy. We make it hard on ourselves by trying to keep going on the decentralization and control your own security boundary mission. Part of why everything is getting centralized into silos is that that's just so easy to engineer.
Have you driven between big cities in Texas? There are some awfully straight stretches of road with absolutely nothing at all as far as the eye can see. Now you're supposed to be doing like, 80mph posted, but if nobody is around to see it... I've encountered packs of cars keeping up with each other doing 100mph+ and someone in a big truck breaking 120 just for fun wouldn't surprise me. Illegal? Oh yes. Doesn't matter if nobody is there to enforce it.

Is this a statement or attempt at a question? In mathematics and logic, order has a definition, in physics there is also a concept of order (for a given choice of coordinates), whereas if you want to discuss political science, economics the coordinates are more difficult to agree upon. If you are got curious for some semantic reason rest assured that there is no context-free definition of anything that does not have a physical-matter equivalent.
A good reminder for many of us
The Gumball Rally (1976) was an earlier and better movie than The Canonball Run (1981). At least better to this pre-teen. We would set the alarm to watch it in the wee hours of the morning on the super-late show, before video stores. I still think of the race as the Gumball Rally, and think of the Canonball Run movie as a ripoff/remake.

Something that's helped me to reduce speeding is real time GPS/map info. I don't drive half as much as I did a few years ago, and much of that was 'around town' (a... 30-40 mile radius for various events). There's not a lot of places to 'speed' in the 'really fast' sense, but 45 in a 35 zone - that's still 'speeding', and can get you a ticket I know, I've had some over the years!)

Having a map with real time info when I'm going someplace helps me ... calm down some. I can see if there's a known accident, I can get automatically rerouted if I take a wrong turn or miss an exit, and if I know I'm going to be vastly late, I just call or message the party I'm meeting. I understand that some of that may contribute to 'distracted' driving, but when I used to miss turns or get delayed 20 years ago, I was still 'distracted', and probably just as much a danger, because of the anxiety/stress. Overall, I think it's been a net win for me - less speeding and no tickets in years, a bit less stress while driving, less fuel consumption, etc.

Speculation ahead:

One cost of accruing tech debt is the toll that it has on the mental health of developers. To me, it seems like common sense that over a certain threshold, unhappy developers will (1) work slower, (2) produce lower quality work, and (3) have a higher rate of turnover. I’m curious if there is any research on this effect (if it exists).
The pandemic was a boon for any car nerd with a lead foot. During the "2 weeks to slow the spread" period when we were all locked inside, all my friends with fast cars were out enjoying the roads.

From what I've seen immersing myself in the space I can see possible futures that these things might go down that are very interesting, and in general I see several interesting and creative things being tried with smart contracts (albeit not necessarily good or useful) at the moment.

Further elaboration: The tech is interesting. It's very polished but there is SO much room for additional reporting, functionality etc. I have actually played abit with the unofficial API and theres lots of data available.

On the CEO level, marketing and sales might very much be all about mood, positioning, culture etc and very little about the display pixel density or the logistics.

I'm not saying that this is sensible, I'm just saying that lots of companies are run this way and a CEO saying they don't sync with tech nor finance every day doesn't necessarily disqualify them.

This guy built a pretty big company pretty fast so he's gotta have done something right. Maybe let's not go all-in with an activist investor's cherry-picked quotes of an uncommonly honest/humble CEO.
Exactly. The possible existence of someone names Jesus ~2000 years ago gives zero validity to anything. But we don't even know that. It takes faith to believe in Jesus as a historical figure. There is as much evidence as for the existence of Harry Potter.
> although most of them don’t go over the 3500kilo limit

I bet most not even go over 2000kg. My SUV is 1900kg (4k lbs) and is hybrid so has extra weight due to batteries. I think it's a very heavy car and considering downgrading again.

Cars over 4000 kg is straight insanity
It was highly linked to me (I'm in the US.) And I'm on a motorcycle, so it was like 10x as dangerous. I really had to check myself.

The battery level isn't actually close to dying, in my case it just rapidly depletes from up to 40% when it's very cold. But that 40% remains intact seemingly with the screen off.

For me, this was just a matter of convenience and not optimizing for most resilient or reliable solution. I do have backup plans for home entry.

They are not as common as in the US. And crucially, they are not (yet) a status symbol. Someone who can afford a vehicle like that as a daily driver (not a contractor) will get a huge-ass Merc or Audi instead.

This is very clever and useful. I wonder if this could be done with a GPS watch rather than the phone. AFAIK, GPS watches typically send out Bluetooth signals but probably don't connect to Wi-Fi.
That exponential dependence comes from the use of chemical rockets, which have a pretty firm upper limit on their exhaust velocity. Once in space, lower thrust could be used, which admits the possibility of higher exhaust velocity. If one can vary the exhaust velocity then the problem can be evaded (although the specific power (power/mass) of the vehicle must be allowed to become very large, or else acceleration will decrease.)

Recent example: https://phys.org/news/2022-02-laser-mars.html

Note the very high specific power. High Isp rocketry is all about the heat dissipation.

Show HN: Updatecli – What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child?
What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child?
Well for me that could be Updatecli.

Updatecli is a project that I started to help maintain the infrastructure of the Jenkins project. I needed something flexible enough to update YAML with whatever information needed. Because let’s say it, everybody loves YAML. YAML is everywhere.

Run it from everywhere…

Updatecli is a command-line tool written in Golang and available for Windows, Linux, MacOSx, amd64, arm64, thank you Goreleaser
All of that to say that it runs from wherever CI or laptop we need.

As of today, Updatecli opened over 3000 Pull requests on Github, and it evolved to update automatically Dockerfile, Markdown, Helm Chart, and of course a lot of YAML for tools like Puppet, Kubernetes, or Jenkins.

How does it work?

Updatecli loads pipeline configurations from YAML(s) or Golang templates then enforce the state defined by the pipeline configuration.
A pipeline run as followed:

1. Clone in a temporary location any git repositories used by the pipeline.

2. Fetch information for every *source* defined, and then inject them as entry parameters into condition(s) and target(s).

3. Test that all *conditions* defined succeed otherwise abort the pipeline.

4. Enforce the state for every *target* defined. A state means different things depending on the resource type, more on this later.

5. Commit and open pull requests when needed.

6. Apply next pipeline

A Updatecli pipeline relies on resources aka “extension” aka “plugins” to adapt pipeline behavior. By combining them, we can easily automate scenarios for release workflow, GitOps, dependency management, documentation update, etc.

A simple scenario could be:
* Retrieve the latest Golang version
* Test that a docker image with the latest Golang version exist on Dockerhub
* If it exists, then bump the version in a YAML file and open a pull request on GitHub with the change

As of today, there are 9 extensions for "sources", 8 for "conditions", 6 for "targets", 2 for git repositories, and 1 for pull requests.

A very simple pipeline is available on
-> https://www.updatecli.io/docs/prologue/quick-start/

For more complex pipelines, you can look for directories named “updatecli/updatecli.d” at the root of repositories on https://github.com/updatecli or the Jenkins infrastructure repository such as
https://github.com/jenkins-infra/kubernetes-management/tree/...

I maintain a documentation website to document the different configuration.
It’s not perfect but it’s available on www.updatecli.io

What’s next?

Well, it depends on many things. Updatecli is since the beginning, a fun side project, I wanted to practice Golang programming while automating tedious recurring tasks. I built it in a way that I could reuse it across the different projects which I maintain. It’s rather simple to add new resources so I’ll keep adding them based on my needs, I welcome any contributions that would benefit the community.

Really the only projects I'm truly happy just to do even if only a few friends see them are outside of tech. I like Filk music, woodworking, making YouTube videos, poetry, fiction, and random historical research essays(Currently I'm looking into a completely unfounded theory that the phrase "Diarrhea of the mouth" could have first gotten popular with in France).

As far as Tech, I've got my KaithemAutomation server(Think Home Assistant esque but focused on commercial installs on cheap SD cards), which I'm working on extending to be a CCTV NVR.

The idea of motion detecting multiple high res IP cams on a Pi at once is just too cool to ignore, and current CCTV software is so far behind where I want it to be that It's still exiting to work on.

> Common Core is a standard (checklist of abilities students should learn), not a curriculum.

Yes, I understand what CC is... most states already had very similar standards. I should have said "New and Improved! Meets Common Core Standards!".

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mollyhensleyclancy/pear...

CC was definitely used as an excuse to push unnecessary materials and not just by Pearson (I was using them as a bit of a bogeyman).

Sorry, I'm not sure what point you're making with the Illustrated Mathematics link.

Perhaps I muddled my point by bringing up Common Core (I have no experience at that level, I just expect there's a similar dynamic). And to repeat... my point was that some departments dictate the textbook choice and curricula of their lower division courses (often with good intentions!)... but when they do it's often easiest to standardize courses using a big publisher's materials. Good old fashion vendor lock-in.
They already have EU subsidiaries. The problem seems to be that US laws seem to be able to compel US based parent companies to hand over data from their overseas subsidiaries.

If you make it a EU based public company and give control to your own shareholders, it's no longer a subsidiary and your shareholders are holding shares in a European company.

So there is a human idea of "discrete element" that we used to apply to everything - and as we look closer, it always breaks down. that doesn't mean it's a useless abstraction, but it is am abstraction - a tool for thought, a map, not the territory
